Do you like managing spaceships? Do you like cats? Do you like turn-based tactical combat? Then Space Cats Tactics might be the game for you. In Space Cats Tactics you play as a genetically engineered cat supersoldier-turned-space pirate tasked with smuggling a ship, the Curiousity, to the outer reaches of the galaxy. The game is obviously inspired by FTL, but also features turn-based combat both in space and onboard. The developer is one Alex Nicola, a Guerilla Games UI engineer making indie games in his spare time, and he's been working on it for several years now. We spotted the game when it appeared on Steam last month and it didn't take long for it to hit Kickstarter afterwards. Here's the pitch video:

​

Alex is looking to raise €10,000 to improve Space Cats Tactics, although it will be released no matter what happens. If you like what you see, you can secure a copy for €18, with beta access at €36 and alpha access at €72. A free demo is available on Steam and on the game's official website. Space Cats Tactics is due out in July 2021.

Well, tricking furry deviants into funding your game is a sound move economically.

This is what grown men are doing in 2020, to be played by other grown men. The older generations were right.

Is this spam of garbage some kind of coming out of the closet for Infinitron 's fursona or something?

Our benevolent kitty overlords demand your money. Resistance is futile.

It's like somebody saw this old image macro and said, "I'm going to make a game of that."

Wait... isn't this Richard Garriott?

I hate furry shit, in fact I am so triggered over the gay foxes in Pathfinder I am considering not playing Path of the Righteous because of them, but this games cats are actually less 'furry like' than I would have imagined. The game looks well done if people would calm down and take a look. Its not furry crap-- it even half ways seriously explains the cat like race in a sci-fi way and the mechanics look like they could be good. I think people are just flying off the handle and assuming this is like some jap cartoon shit without even looking at it.

How about French?






Total WTF?!? Warp Factor 10

that giraffe is going to rape that dude.
