A few small fixes today (thanks to knuxtoast for telling us about them!):

- Replaced missing background image
- Typos

Hey y'all! Big update today, just in time for the 2022 U.S. elections! We're clearing out some of the stock photos we used when we originally created the game and bringing you some all-new faces and places.

• New character portraits for Bernice, Lola, Pet Store Clerk, Skateboarder, College Student, Rock Patriot, Michelle, Kimmy, and Mr. Mrs. Drew.
  
• New hotel room for Thunderpaw, new office for Rover, new caf, new pet store, new library, various other new backgrounds.
  
• New selection of cute human photos.
  
• A few new music tracks.
  
• Resized a couple cats.
  
• Changed text-highlighting effect (again) for enhanced readability
  
• Added an options menu
  
• Corrected typos and grammar errors.
  

Hey y'all! We're holding an election to decide who should be the President in Cat President 3! Head on over here to vote now:

Didn't know there's a Cat President 3? Well, we just announced it! Didn't know there's a Cat President 2? ...Well, that's on you.

Six new stories. Six new cats. A million mew cat puns. And yes, Banders finally gets his own pathway.

Add it to your wishlist now!

The tiniest of tweaks to the game today!

- Added code so that Cat President 2 will remember what you named the heroine in Cat President 1.

Yeah, that's right! Whatever you name your character in this game, that name will now appear in the sequel!

If you want to take advantage of this, update (or reinstall) Cat President, and just play up to the part where you name your character (right at the beginning). That name will then appear somewhere in Cat President 2!!

...I'm sorry, I'm probably more excited about this than I should be. It's just a cool thing!!

Happy holidays, everyone! In celebration of Catmas, we made a few small tweaks to the game:

- Corrected typos
- Corrected spelling of "Abigail" in a specific instance
- Corrected certain states' names for continuity with upcoming sequel

We tallied everyone's votes, and...welp, it's a tie! SO NOW IT'S ON TO ROUND TWO.

KALE. DJ NIBBLES. Who do you want to see as the canonical president of Cat President 2?? Comment with your selection!

This poll will only run for 24 hours, so get your votes in NOW!!

---

UPDATE: WELP, IT'S ANOTHER TIE. WE ARE IN A FULL-BLOWN CLAWSTITUTIONAL CRISIS.

[check this space later as we quickly decide what to do]

---

UPDATE 2: We've made a decision.



Thanks to everyone for voting!!

Well, the cat's out of the bag!

We're in the early (VERY, VERY EARLY, SO EARLY) stages of planning a sequel to Cat President, and we have an important decision to make:

...Who actually won the Presidency in Cat President: A More Purrfect Union? Whose pathway is canon? Who is officially, actually, really the President?

The sequel is set four years later, during the next election cycle, and it brings together a brand-new cast of candidates (well, maybe with one familiar furry face), all vying to run against the incumbent President. Who is that incumbent President? IS IT:

- DJ Nibbles, the cute one?
- Thunderpaw, the mean one?
- Frisky, the shameless flirt?
- Kale, the dark horse?
- Dr. Nom-Noms, the kindly gentleman?
- Rover, the average Joe cat?

We're holding a special election, right now, right here, in this Steam thread. Post who you're voting for in the comments. In one week's time, we'll tally up the results and elect the real, official, actually binding canon CAT PRESIDENT.

---

EDIT: It is now NOON on June 28th, so we're calling it!! And...

It's a tie, between Kale and DJ Nibbles.

We're holding a run-off election here! The polls close at 12:10 PM NYC time tomorrow (June 29th)!!

Happy Mewsday, everyone! A short new patch went up for Cat President this morning!

- Changed a joke about Frankenstein
- Tweaked an Achievement
- Fixed a points bug in Rover's pathway (thanks, Kimchi Tea!)
- Fixed DJ Nibbles' dong typo
- Tweaked a joke about Grumpy Cat in the Thunderpaw pathway (thanks Zach!!)
- Fixed a few other typos

Enjoy!!

It's come to my attention (thanks, ayarger!) that dialogue in the game was just plopping on the screen all at once, instead of scrolling nicely like it does in most visual novels*. This is now fixed!! The magic of the Internet!!

After you've downloaded the patch, it should set the text to the correct speed as soon as you run the game, whether you're starting a new game or loading a save file. If the text is still just plopping onto the screen, let me know.

* This is actually how it's been running on my computer all this time; I didn't realize it was showing up differently on other people's computers. My apologies!!
