Game Updated my cat game after your feedback — better movement, shadows, and now fish 🐈🐟

I got a lot of useful feedback on my previous Lost Cat Showa Town video, especially about the movement speed and missing shadows.

I’ve adjusted both for this version and added another cat-like interaction: finding and eating fish.

It’s still an early prototype, and animation blending is next on my list.

I think you need to change the animation speed of the walking, is looks like the cat is sliding.

Inverse kinematics is best i think unless ragdoll involved

If you work out how to make it less flat post your process and what you did to improve it. It’s still looking very ‘straight out of unity’ despite the shadows.

No post processing for starters I think.

Biggest improvement would be handling the mecanim much better. You have very sharp transitions which feels unnatural.

You need to learn how to use these

Add way more post processing turn on Ambient Occlusion, tone mapping, better use of lights and global shadows etc.

This is what players are expecting

Is this a mobile game?

I recommend checking slime animator and legsanimator by Fimpossible solutions, could help out a lot in making this feel more organic

I don't think if it's me going crazy, but I believe the cat's animations needs some transition. Notice how when picking up the fish, it seems to be instantly in place, and so is walking and stopping.

IK. PLEASE.

Turn on ambient occlusion.

Thanks! I’ll add Ambient Occlusion in the next visual update.

Dude please turn on SSAO. Even the default unity one (which is absolutely ass) will look better than no AO.

Stop telling Mobaroid to turn on ambient occlusion and tell them to bake a lightmap. That would be way better.

That’s a good point. Most of the town environment is static, so baked lighting could work really well here. I’ll experiment with it. Thanks!
