Changelog

1.4.0

• CATS COPY YOUR EMOTES! Wave and your cat waves back, dance and it dances with you - all your cats in sync
• Every emote has a cat version: dance, sit-up dance, wave, salute, clap, flex, thumbs up, cheer, punch, shrug, think, head-shake "no", sassy turn-away, panic zoomies, sad flop, sit, play dead - and a real cat BACKFLIP
• Your cats stop, face you and join in (with a little chirp or trill); cats in your arms or on your shoulders wave a paw
• Everyone sees it - no extra network traffic. Turn it off with Fun / CatsCopyEmotes in the config

1.3.1

• BUG FIXES
• Kittens actually grow up over time now (they only grew when you fed them)
• Cats that were ghosts when a run ended come back with you to the airport (they used to be lost)
• Cats coming along between the airport and the island retry if the host was busy, instead of vanishing
• Ghost cats keep their markings when they're revived
• Giving a cat an item can't lose it any more if someone picks the cat up at the same moment
• Taking a cat off your shoulders on a wall no longer teleports it back to where you put it on
• Several cats placed next to you at once (revive, rescue, catch-up) no longer land on the same spot and get flung
• Cats tucked in a backpack rest instead of getting hungry and cold
• The cat menu won't pop open while you're typing in chat or have another menu / the emote wheel open
• Players on an older PeakCats get a heads-up, and markings aren't sent to them (they'd silently fail)
• Less stutter: changing markings, name tags with [Warrior] prefixes and cat icons no longer make garbage every frame
• Controller players see [LT] in the feed / give prompts
• Hardened against modified clients (fake feeding, bad spawn positions)

1.3.0

• WARRIOR MARKINGS - free for every cat! Paint up to 4 layers on any coat (Customize > Markings)
• 14 Warrior patterns: Thunderstripes, River Ripples, Sky Dapples, Shadow Mask, Windflecks, StarClan Paws, Moonstone Blaze, Frost Chest, Flame Tips, Tortoiseshell, Clanstripe, Leader's Crescent, Battle Scars and the Dark Forest Saddle
• Every layer is fully tweakable: 16 Clan colours, shade, size, strength, softness and variation - or roll a Random Warrior look
• Markings wrap properly round the body, legs, tail and face on every breed, and sit on top of special pelts
• NEW CUSTOMIZE MENU: a live 3D preview of your cat you can drag (or right-stick) to spin, next to a slim list of slots - try on locked items to see them before you unlock them
• Accessories / Markings tabs (Y on controller to switch)
• Everyone sees your cat's markings, and they come along from the airport to the island
• Your cats remember their looks: dress up Smokey, and next time you adopt Smokey (same name + breed) in any lobby, its accessories and markings come back
• Fixed: menus causing little stutters while open

1.2.1

• BUG FIXES
• Ghost cats now leave their skeleton behind (bone-white, lying on its side where your cat was)
• Shoulder riding: your cat sits ON your shoulder - face forward, back half hanging down behind, tail swishing (it used to sit inside you)
• Cats hop off the top of ropes and vines instead of hanging there
• Your cats come with you from the airport to the island (and back) - they turn up next to you once you wake up on the beach
• Closed eyes no longer show the pupils through the lids
• Cats keep their owner if you disconnect and rejoin
• Fixed an item dupe/loss when holding a cat, and meals / food effects being lost on pickup
• Food: antidote stops poison, hot/cold cancel out, invincibility works like it does for scouts, used-up food can't be fed, you only feed the cat you're looking at
• Climbing: no more flip-flopping on slopes, cats never get stuck climbing, and they let go of ropes that lead nowhere
• Cats won't nap next to lava, ignore food they can't reach, and wake properly at dawn
• Look-at highlight covers the whole cat (collar, cosmetics, carried item)
• Lots of multiplayer hardening (spawn/give/destroy requests checked by the host)

1.2.0

• THE BIG CLIMB UPDATE
• Shoulder riding: put your cat on your shoulders (right-click / LT while holding it, or X) and climb hands-free; X or hold Tab / D-pad down to take it off
• Cats climb ropes and vines right behind you, following your exact path
• Ghost cats: if you die, your cat's bones stay behind and its ghost flies up to the scout statue and waits on its shoulder - revive and it comes back with you
• Loyal cats: pass out and your cat rushes to your side and waits until you're back up
• Survives the whole mountain: keeps clear of lava (and runs when the Kiln's lava rises), hates water, digs its claws in against the wind
• Never lost: cats that fall off the world or get left behind land on their feet next to you
• Summit Kitty! Reach the Peak with your cat for a celebration, and your cat's name goes on the end screen
• 30 cat customizations (Customize page in the cat panel): 10 per cat you've taken to the Peak together - the last 10 are Warrior-cat themed
• [Warrior] name prefix in your own colour for taking 3 cats to the Peak; your unlocks are tied to your Steam account and travel with r2modman's profile export
• Cats now sleep at night and stay awake in the day

1.1.0

• Collars! Pick one when adopting: red, pink, sky blue, mint, sunshine, lavender, black or rainbow, each with a little gold bell
• Campfire naps: rest at a lit campfire and your cats curl up by the flames and doze off, purring
• Cats eat like scouts: every food gives exactly the same hunger and effects it gives you (Big Lollipop sugar rush then drowsy crash, energy drinks, bonus stamina shown as a yellow strip)
• Cats refuse mushrooms, cactus, mandrake, aloe and scorchberries (configurable) - give those to them to carry instead
• Status fixes: food drowsiness no longer gets wiped, heat/poison/drowsy wear off at the same rates as yours, hunger follows the ascent's hunger rate

1.0.2

• Removed leftover developer debug hotkeys and their network messages (they could have been misused to hurt other players' cats).

1.0.1

• Removed a development-only Mac/Wine input helper that was accidentally included. PeakCats uses only Unity and PEAK's own systems (no native code).

1.0.0

First public release (not published).

• 8 cats (white, black, ginger tabby, calico, tuxedo, grey, siamese, fluffy tabby kitten) with their own personalities and voices.
• Hand-made cartoon cat model with fur, moving eyes, blinks, happy squints, whiskers and fully procedural animation.
• Physics-based cats that wander, sit, groom, stretch, loaf, curl up to sleep, bat at things and follow their owner.
• Expert climbers: they crawl up cliffs after you, handle corners and overhangs, jump ledges and gaps, and catch up if left behind.
• Kittens grow into adults (30% bigger) over 30 minutes of play; petting and feeding help.
• Pick cats up (they sit in your arms), pet them (your hand strokes them, they purr and knead), throw them (they land on their feet).
• Feed cats any food: they get its real effects. Give cats items to carry on their back (real weight on their bar).
• A status bar just like yours: stamina, injury, hunger, cold, heat, poison, drowsiness, weight. Cats pass out when it's full.
• Help climbing cats up by reaching toward them, like pulling up a friend.
• Adopt panel (C, or hold View/Select on a controller) with names up to 18 characters.
• Full multiplayer sync; everyone in the lobby needs the mod.
