Hello everyone!

Martin here, lead developer at Abandoned Sheep.

Schrodinger's Cat Burglar launched two weeks ago today, so I thought it would be good to sum up how things have gone. Spoilers - they've gone very well!

THANKS!

Currently we have 440 reviews on steam. A staggering 98% are positive. On behalf of the team, thank you to everyone who has left a review! When we were making the game we hoped it would be good, but we had no idea people would be so keen!

I've been lurking (and chatting) in various streams of the game, and it's been so great to see how people are enjoying the game first hand.

Also, if a certain scene brought you to tears… know that you aren’t alone.

Speed running is underway! The current record is under two hours - can you beat that? Join in the fun on the discord!

SECRETS!

The game is packed with features and secrets - did you know about these things?

  • You can change Mittens' name! Select from a list, or type in your own!

  • You can earn achievements for dressing up! Have you joined the Men In Black yet?

  • What's your best tail-chasing time? There's an achievement if you can keep it going long enough!

  • Have you managed to make the toasters pop?

  • Have you played on the arcade machine?

UPDATES!

We've been working hard since launch to make sure the game is in its best shape. The daily updates are probably going to stop now that the game is in a good solid shape, but here's a potted history of what's changed since launch :

New Settings, including :

  • Accessibility settings such as 'Allow Mouse Pointer' and ‘ Button Prompt Scale

  • Brightness, Contrast and Saturation controls in Advanced Visual Settings

  • Stressful Sounds Volume in Audio Settings to reduce volume on sounds that might aggravate.

  • Post Game Complete settings including 'Suppress Popup Help ’, 'Speed Run Settings' and 'Collectable Tracker' to find those last shards and chests

Improvements, including :

  • Improved the main elevator menu to show undiscovered elevator stops, so you know where to explore more thoroughly

  • Save system improvements

    • Save process made asynchronous and enabled save backups

    • Load process will wait for the save process to finish, and saving progress indicator indicates when save has completed

    • Added a warning if trying to quit while save is happening, and if it detects a file write fail, will reattempt

    • Added safeguards for loading save files where the level info is missing but an elevator destination is found, and if the cat position wasn’t stored the cat will be moved to the main elevator.

  • Added a page detailing Co-operative mode which will show once, first time the Game Mode is changed.

  • Made thicker fur push pendants out more.

  • Enabled parkour on the golden toilet and if you split on the golden toilet it will make it flush.

And we’ve also fixed bugs and soft locks galore!

So, what's next? We're working on a content update that will hopefully go live soon, featuring...

  • Bonus puzzles! A new area will be added to the game soon - Experimental Department, featuring some intriguing and challenging new puzzles.

  • New customisations! Finally live out your dream of being a shark cat riding a cleaning robot!

  • More fixes and improvements!

Thank you all for playing - and please continue spreading the word! Reviews on Steam, reviews on Metacritic, tell your friends - it all helps and will allow us to make a follow up!

Until next time — be cute, do crimes!
