Hi everyone! Aprils here already, so its time for a little update from us about whats been happening over last month!

All levels of Cats and Seek: Tokyo are ready!

Kamakura is the final level youll be able to explore through the DLC. So in total, there will be 5 levels (1 free, 4 in the DLC):

• Asakusa (Free)
• Akihabara
• Ueno Park
• Shibuya
• Kamakura

You can check out a sneak peek of the levels on our Patreon post!

Stamp Collection!

This is a brand-new feature we added, inspired by the Eki Stamps we discovered while wandering around Tokyo last year. In Japan, a lot of train stations and tourist spots have special stamps you can use as souvenirs. We loved the idea so much that we added our own hidden stamps in Cats and Seek: Tokyo! You can find them, collect them, and use them to create your very own in-game artwork.

Community Translation

Yes! By the end of last month, we ran our very first community translation for Cats and Seek: Tokyo, and the response was amazing. We're super grateful for your support! Thanks to everyones help, the game is now translated into 15 languages so far!

• Brazilian Portuguese
• Croatian
• Dutch
• Finnish
• French
• German
• Italian
• Polish
• Romanian
• Russian
• Simplified Chinese
• Spanish - Spain
• Spanish - LATAM
• Turkish
• Ukrainian

Some other languages are still in progress too. If youd like to help translate a language thats not done yet, or not started at all, feel free to hop into our community forum here: https://steamcommunity.com/app/2925320/discussions/0/597396108583437769/

And finally

Its April, which means its launch month for Cats and Seek: Tokyo! Were a bit nervous, haha. Theres still a lot to double-check and polish. Once everything is ready, well announce the official release date. Stay tuned! If you havent wishlisted the game yet, please do! And dont forget to check out our other title, Cats Around Us: Black Cat. Its waiting for your wishlist too! https://store.steampowered.com/app/2925320/Cats_and_Seek_Tokyo/ https://store.steampowered.com/app/3545910/Cats_and_Seek_Tokyo__Extra_Content/ https://store.steampowered.com/app/3426090/Cats_Around_Us_Black_Cat/ Warm regards, UB & Estu

In our past games, some players were wondering, "Why arent the cat descriptions translated?" Well its because there are a lot of them! We didnt have the budget to translate everything properly, and machine translation just made things super weird. A bunch of you suggested letting the community help, and honestly, thats an awesome idea! So for Cats and Seek: Tokyo, we built a brand-new translation system to make it easier for volunteers to join in. Wanna help bring these kitty descriptions to life in your language?

Hello everyone! Time flies and here we are in March 2025! Here's a little update on what's been happening since January.

Cats and Seek: Tokyo

As of today, 4 levels are ready to play! You can explore Asakusa, Akihabara, Ueno Park, and Shibuya. Estu is currently working on the final level, making a total of 5 levels in Cats and Seek: Tokyo. One level will be available for free with all its achievements, while the other 4 will be part of the DLC for those who want extra content. The DLC is available to wishlist now! https://store.steampowered.com/app/3545910/Cats_and_Seek_Tokyo__Extra_Content/

Cats and Seek: Toge Land

Back in January, we collaborated with Toge Productions to release Cats and Seek: Toge Land to celebrate their anniversary. We're so happy to see that the game has received 189 reviews so far! Thank you so much to everyone who played and left a review

Prototype

We also tested an early prototype for another game series we're working on. So far, we've received more than 60 feedback submissions through the survey included in the prototype. Thank you so much to everyone who took the time to play and share your thoughts! If you're curious and want to try it out, you can check it out on our Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/posts/new-prototype-120037282

Patreon

Thank you to the 180+ members who have joined our Patreon! We've been sharing sneak peeks of upcoming levels there, and we're so grateful for your support. We also received a suggestion from one of our players about community localization. Currently, all cat descriptions are only available in English because there are so many of them, and professional translation would be too expensive for us. Meanwhile, AI translations often produce weird or awkward phrases. I'm now looking into ways to set up a community localization system that would be easy for everyone to use. Once I figure it out, I'll share the details on Patreon. And if you're interested in helping, please join us! Our Patreon is free to join.

Events

This March, we're joining two online events: The Days of Ramadan and the Women's Day Sale. Make sure to visit the events and check out many other awesome games! Oh, and Giant Cat is on discount too! https://store.steampowered.com/app/2925310/Cats_Around_Us_Giant_Cat/

Hello everyone! After a lot of thought, weve decided to start a newsletter on Patreon. With just the two of us managing everything, we figured this would be a cozy way to stay connected and keep you in the loop.

Why a newsletter instead of Discord like other developers?

Since its only the two of us, and we dont have a community manager, keeping up with a live platform like Discord would be tough. A newsletter felt like the perfect balance, an easy way to stay connected that doesnt require a lot of extra time or energy from either side but still keeps us in touch.

Why Patreon instead of a traditional newsletter?

We tried comparing different options, and Patreon actually had all the features we needed. No follower limits, post caps, or other restrictions. It just makes things simple!

Will there be exclusive content on Patreon?

Not right now, this will just be a place for us to share our game development progress. So, feel free to join us on the free tier to stay updated! But If you have any cool ideas for exclusive content youd like to see, feel free to let us know! So come join us on Patreon to keep up with our game development journey . https://www.patreon.com/NoobzillaTeam Cheers! UB & Estu

Hi everyone, the moment we've all been waiting for is finally here! Thank you so much to everyone who has been patiently waiting. Cats Around Us: Giant Cat is now released! https://store.steampowered.com/app/2925310/Cats_Around_Us__Giant_Cat/ This project is a special one for us as its our first pilot project, where we collaborated with an artist from another medium (comic). Shout out to Kathrinna Rakhmavikathank you for working with us and providing such an engaging comic. [quote=UB]To be honest, I was a bit nervous about releasing this since the format is a bit different from the Cats and Seek series. I wanted this series to focus more on the comic's storytelling, so there aren't as many interactive elements as in Cats and Seek. Let me know if the difference is clear enough between Cats Around Us and Cats and Seek, or if they still feel the same. What do you think we should add to make these two series distinct? [/quote] We hope this project brings joy to your hearts. If you have any suggestions or feedback, please share them in the discussion forum. Ill be delighted to read them. And of course, no game is free from bugs. We've tested it multiple times, but some issues may have slipped through. If you encounter any problems or bugs, please report them here, and I'll fix them as soon as possible. Thats all from us. Enjoy Cats Around Us: Giant Cat! https://store.steampowered.com/app/2925310/Cats_Around_Us__Giant_Cat/ Warm regards, UB & Estu P.S. Please support us by wishlisting our next game ^^ https://store.steampowered.com/app/2925320/Cats_and_Seek__Tokyo/
