Meownus are working again! 22 days of work (~2 hours a day), but the settings all function and I was able to improve the resolution changes as well as the full screen option.

For those not yet in the know, I'm having to redo ALL of Cats vs Aliens. It's.... painful. But It's getting done.
Here's the most recent update!
#indiegamedev #catsvsaliens #solodev #pixelart #catgame #indiegaming #restartingfromscratchbecauseididntupgradewhenishouldhave #mybad
The beginning phase of inking for the new Cats vs Aliens start screen. It features a smaller goblin-like alien on the left in a defensive fighting posture, and a larger, amused cat character pouncing in from the right.
The progress on inking The Planet, which features elements from the various biomes a player can expect in the final version of the game.
This image features The Planet as a backdrop behind the alien and cast from the first image.
Taking a break from coding for a bit to refresh the start screen. Things are coming along steadily, despite delays.
Worth the effort? TBD.
Keeping me sane? Also TBD.
Fun, at least? Yup!

Check out this animation that was a huge pain in the tail to get right. I think I redid it about 12 times T.T
You can find this weird wiggly goo thing at random places in the Jelly Fields. What could it mean?

A sticker on a laptop. The sticker is a cat in a space suit floating amongst the stars featuring the quote "I have no idea what I'm doing but I'm trying anyway".

Two days ago, the playable cat characters were warping around unpredictably to golb only knows where.

12 cats walking upright with 12 different colors of tie/glasses.
Which color? Blutters got a glow-up, and now they need a new wardrobe.
