Game News Find your missing cat in Labyrinth: The Wizard's Cat, a single character dungeon crawler coming June

[KeighnMcDeath]

Cats are okay, it’s the people with toxoplasmosis that is the problem. Seek help now.

Explain. This might reveal why my rodent loving parents are ushering the new plague.

 

[InspectorRumpole]

Just buy new cat - game over.

I'm a solo developer and my goal is just at least one player appreciates my work..

Share it here and I'll appreciate it for you. Then you can spend the rest of your life doing more worthwhile things

Like making a blobber about avenging your dog.

 

[OndrejSc]

Fuck cats.

I'm afraid it would hurt.

Yeah that makes a lot more sense than rescuing a stupid cat that always wanders off anyways. I can relate to being mad and wanting some revenge after a ne'er-do-well invades my happy home and slays some of my property. Zombisoft you should hire this mediocre poet to write your game for you. It has to be R E L A T A B L E.

Lots of humor in this thread I love it! But the cat's fate is well hidden..

Why didn't you choose a lovable animal?

Haha.. Why this aversion to cats?

 

[Decado]

People complaining about the cat, when clearly the real problem is that it’s single character.

Real time blobbers are bad enough to begin with, worse when you have to spam on four guys. YMMV.

I'd be down for something like this as a TB blobber though and to rescue a loyal dog or seize the evil vizier's harem or something.

This is my general feeling. I loved Grimrock and some other "modern" blobbers but the combination of real time and trying to control 4 characters quickly degenerates into square dancing, which this video is already demonstrating.

But, I think I will give this one a whirl. I just like blobbers with decent puzzles and I'll take what I can get.

 

[Mortmal]

I though it looked ok and very reminiscent of Dungeon Master. Will give it a try at some point.

With not even 1/100 of the features that make a Dungeon Master great,and it looks worse than this now 37-year-old game

 

[Tyranicon]

I also make games about finding pussy.

Best of luck.

Want to point out that the trailer begins with a wet fart sound though, which is... something.

Wizards & Whiskers is a legit good name.

 

[KeighnMcDeath]

I'll assume the cat is the wizard's familiar so it is tied to his soul. Or maybe the cat stole something.

Neko stole my bike!

Lots of anti-cat sentiment in this thread which I very much disapprove of.

Cool it with the anti-feline remarks.

Get a chihuahua. It's like a cat except better in every way. Like not being a cat.

 

[Rincewind]

Cats are the most graceful creatures, anti-feline people are not my friends.

PS: I like dogs too.

 

[Baron Tahn]

Don't see any problem with this. Old school dungeon crawlers just had some drivel about 'go defeat evil wizard/find gem/save world' and I was fine with that anyway, so 'just go find yer cat, mate' is pretty self aware. It's not literature.

As long as the game is good, of course, with good dungeon crawlin'. Joke/meme games can go in the bin.

 

[KeighnMcDeath]

But.... will it be on itchio or GOG?

 

[DoWhocares]

Behead anyone who doesn't like cats.

Be generous, unloved and miserable dogfags need their cope.

 

[Darth Roxor]

It blows my mind that in a world where Grimrock 2 exists, these kinds of games still base their combat on dancing, and nowadays don't even try to hide it.

Also, kill all cats.

 

[KeighnMcDeath]

GENOCIDE ALL

RODENTS!!!

 

[KeighnMcDeath]

What direction should a single or party based first-person, real-time, grid-based dungeon romp take? Should it just be turn-based? Should if go into tactical combat like a gold box game? Should it be ultra real time like Day of the Viper? Are there new tricks I'm unaware of?

 

[Rincewind]

Rats must die.
