changed🎵 Making MeowsicEvery game needs a good soundtrack. We want you to enjoy relaxing music while building your cafe, serving your customers, and - most importantly - scratching your cats behind the ears.🐱 That's why our musician and sound designer Sonya is cooking up some amazing tunes in her studio!🎹 Let's hear what exactly she's been working on:

changed🎵 Making Meowsic~~ 🎼 Adaptive Music 🎤 Sonya: "A really cool thing we’re doing more and more of in the second Cat Cafe Manager game, is creating music that moves with the player and the world seamlessly . How, you ask? Let's say you as a player make the decision to walk to a specific area, change the decor, or talk to a particular character, the music will change depending on what you are doing. 🐈 This is called adaptive music , and it gives me, as the composer of the soundtrack, lots of freedom and possibilities to keep the music interesting and unique, even for players who spend hours and hours listening to the same track." 💛 🎶 Shops & Bops "Lately, I’ve been working on music for the shopping street 🛍️ , a place where players will most likely spend quite a bit of time. I had a lot of factors to consider while making this tune . The area has a city-like look that calls for bolder sounds, but it also features plenty of greenery and nature that require a different kind of energy.

changed🎵 Making MeowsicI decided to use small percussion sounds recorded in my local park 🐝🌳 and blend them with live instruments such as guitar and bass. 🎸 The main piece feels quiet and peaceful, but it has room to expand and become more dynamic for major story moments or other scenarios that may come up in your game."

added🎵 Making Meowsic☀️Sunny Sounds " Another major factor in the shopping street is the time of day . As the player moves through the world, time passes and the atmosphere shifts visually as the day progresses. Morning ⛅ should sound distinctly different from evening 🌙 , so I explored ways to express that contrast through music: Mornings feel more acoustic, calm, and serene. 🩷 Throughout the day, the theme you hear becomes more lively, full, and rhythmic. In the evening, it evolves into something simpler and more electric, giving us a different kind of bliss than the softness of the morning." ~~ Now... Sit back, relax, and listen to Sonya adding a layer of bass to a Cat Cafe Manager 2 soundtrack!🎸😌 We hope you enjoy!

🌈Colorful UI

Big strides have been made in the UI department, and we would love to show you a little tease on what you can expect! UI (which stands for User Interface) is basically everything that helps you interact with all in-game features. Think icons, buttons, pop-ups, menus, colors, and layouts that guide you through the world and help you both understand and achieve the things you want to do. 🎮 It's important to us that our UI doesn't just work well, but also feels like a natural part of the game universe, capturing the colorful, cozy essence of CCM2!

Steam post image Your Shopkeeper Besties Are Always Willing to Help!

In the image above, you can see how each shopkeeper has their own respective icon, corresponding to their distinct color palette. These will most likely be visible when you're navigating the map,helping you decide at one glance who you want to meet and/or what they can do for you. Need some recipes? You can always knock on Arwel's door. Do your cats yearn for more squeaky toys? Carla-Lalla is your girl!🩷 Fans of the first game might not recognize the two new faces on the right. They're brand new characters you're gonna get to meet in CCM2, and we can't wait to tell you more about them very soon... 👀

However, we can already give you a little sneak peek of newcomer Kavya! See how our lead animator Carmen brings her glorious pigtails to life below!🥰
