  Multiplayer catnip bonus, color-correct particles and virtual keyboard support

  Oh hello there! This update includes some cool stuff like catnip bonuses when playing with other cats, particle color changes per catnip patch, Steam's virtual keyboard & indicator dots for chat. ːpraisesunːCatnip mowing bonus when mowing with others (50% for 2 players - 500% for 20 players)Virtual keyboard for Steam Deck, Steam Machine & Big Picture Mode when typing for chat, joincode and code (please let me know if it looks funky to you!)Particle effect color of mowing matches catnip nowIndicator dot for new chat messages & alerts per channel and even on the /\\ buttonAdded 2 emails from the forms (thank you clab & fuzzy_replex for the emails!!! want your email in the game? add it here!)Added 2 items from the emails from the forms (a furr and a hat)Fixed not scrolling down bug when new messages appeared that were not in focus (e.g. you're in global, new message in local, then you get to local, you now don't have to scroll down yourself)Updated credits, patches some other bugs and added oldcap codeAlthough this happened before this build - I wanted to mention again that the capsule art \here!], screenshots, store page info and trailer have been updated. It probably won't be updated again until the next section is out with the new NPCs, because it takes a lot of work (and work away from building the game, since it's just meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee). I also created a press kit! ːacidpussːColors and dots...Look at 'dem colors!Indicator dots for new messages and alerts!Steam's keyboard in action...5120x1440 full screen works nicely 1600x1200 still shows the chat's input field and most of chat 640x480.. it works but yeah, can't see what you're typing! And there goes another update!As always, I appreciate everyone playing Mow Meow. It's definitely a strange game that isn't mainstream, nor a clone of a popular genre, and the plan is to finish it by April 1st 2027. Any additional support just motivates me to work harder, so please do lemme know if you find any joy in this creation...

  Quests, emails and the cats have eyes

  Hey there strays!So glad to finally implement the quest and email systems into Mow Meow! Apparently making them work nicely in multiplayer was a challenge. ːTECsweatːːbbtcatːOn this build we have 16 emails and 2 questlines. Please let me know what you think of the UI flow! I mean, I think it's good but... of course I'm going to say that! ːcsdsmileːThe start of the questlines could be better, so if you're stuck here's a hint - one is by standing on the litterbox in the water for a second, the other is by reading the first email, then wait for the emails. ːmoustachepussːI can't wait to start adding a bunch of NPC questgivers, but before that happens, I need to work on new sections!!!! That will be the next focus. Want to be kept in the loop? Join the Discord or visit the blog. ːpraisesunːWhat's in the buildEmail system (16 emails for now)Quest system (2 questlines for now)Achievement viewing system (click on one!)Code system (should be fun)Puma meow has a voice (and some altered lines)Transparency on trees and houses when player is behind themFloating catnip amount per patchThe cats have eyes now (can disable in settings, customization later)Quality settings (dropdown in settings)FPS counter (check settings)Reroll shop items (unlocked at higher level)New furr, hats and shoesButton for website added to main menuDynamic HUD buttons added for email and questsPlayers with s at the end of their name should show up correctly in join screenCommand list in chatAdded /log (chat alerts with 3 different levels) and /xp commandsMax level increased to 253 new achievementsNew NPC (say hi to Dr. Katz)New album (afurrmation meditation CD for some reason)Updated how to play graphic (hit x or view button to open email/quest)Get XP when wearing something new for the first time, reading an email, or completing a questAltered what is required for a level upAdded new starting messages, one for keyboard users and one for controller usersHitting enter on the join code input field now joins t...
