First: Basically since I started making the game I've been pretty upset with the font because it would always screw up the dialogue by putting weird spaces in words.
Example: Kh ai Phan fo rPreside nt.
So the dialogue always kind of looked like crap and was often hard to read. However I recently found a patch that fixed those problems! Now the dialogue is perfect and the font looks really cool. The game flows a whole lot better now and looks way more professional.
Next: I was recently inspired by Castle Crashers to add a special Pet System to the game. Basically it's a mix between the Pet system in Castle Crashers and the Animals you get in the Mother games.
The Earthbound aspect is that they act as AI controlled team members. They fight automatically and also act like the teddy bear by taking some of the heat off you.
The Castle Crashers aspect is that you can send them back to a Pet Pen in your house any time. You'll be able to collect an assortment of different pets with different abilities.
And that leads to my personal favorite new advancement in Catscan gaming technology.
Now you can name your pet! I felt a little bad that you couldn't name the main characters, but I also thought it was impossible. However, because the game is based on "real" events and a "real" band I believe the character names should remain the same. However, I set it up so that you can name your pets whatever you want! And if you want to pull a Fridge there is also a default name too.
So far I have added a pet turtle to the game. But look forward to some pretty awesome pets and probably some other "name your own" stuff too.
