Okay, wishlisted But have you checked, how many cat cafe games are on Steam already? When I tried to search Cat Cafe, hundreds of other results showed up. It would be concerning, since if there's a niche, it can be oversaturated too easy.
This game is looking great Sam. i have been loving these type of cozy desktop era living wall paper style games making a comeback in te past few years ago. So taking me back to my childhood. Def gonna be adding this into my wallpaper gameage stash.
This is a lot of motivation. I’m working on a typing practice mini game with cats. Called typing kitties. As a solo dev it’s been an infernal code experience but a rewarding one
Can you talk more about the technical aspect of how you created a windowless game in Unity that appears to sit on the desktop with a transparent background that can be interacted through?
Samyam, you might really be onto something here. You called 1000 wishlists in a month not bad but it's probably higher than most of the indie gamedevs. For example, Samurado, Songs of Everjade from Sasquatch B and Bitemegames respectively took ~1 year to reach 1000 wishlists. Actually that is the case for my game as well, which I'm actually now abandoning for various reasons. Best of luck! You seem to have landed on an idea that resonates with your target audience and executed it beautifully! The cats and the environment look adorably cozy. The art in Bumbi was decent, but this one is remarkably beautiful.
Thank you so much! The wishlists are largely due to my existing audience which I am grateful for :) (also BUMBI may or may not be getting a makeover too ;)!)
Just a cool tip: instead of .gif-files, you could try using animated .png (.apng). They share the same file type, but consist of frames which play out. You don't have the color limitations, transparency supported and the size doesn't explode as much.
I love this haha. Not usually into the cats and tea thing but, Hey a cool background game that; acts like that ruin and moves in the back is so great for my oled monitors haha. But I'm curious how optimized is this? Would it impact the day to day performance of a programmer/gamer
Thank you! At the moment it's not planned since we'd have to dive into native Linux APIs to make it work and we're a small team, but it hopefully it might be able to work with Proton!
@@samyam I understand, thanks for the info. Similar to most desktop games it likely wont work in proton as it wont support the window transparency. A nice workaround for this could be to have an option in there for a skybox or background so it does not appear as a black rectangle xXx
Hello Samyam, Great Work! I would like to know how the game runs on the desktop. Could you please make the small tutorial ? or Suggest any resource to learn? Thanks :)
Looks funny! Would be cool a video about desktop games teachings. Right now i a have a problem when my game is on "desktop mode" and the game overlaps half of task bar even when a use .workarea screen values on unity
Nice! Yes 4 months to test the build is the reason I made my free skool community. I actually replaced a full team of devs on Sail VR because they did not have a deliverable for months! I help devs finish their games and avoid pitfalls. I stress build often to the platform in my youtube channel. I help for free, but is weird that people are skeptical about accepting free help.
@samyam inspiration from a recent game 🤣 just give the dev at least 2-3 years to recoup cost instead of promoting predatory practices to your impressionable audience.
Hello sam, I am from india, I am aspiring game designer but I realised that game designer alone is not enough, so can you like guide me to become a game developer as well. I am okay with anything like unity or unreal whatever, but need your guidance either any course that you will recommend on udemy or Coursera either paid or free, or any UA-cam tutorial, because I am really scared because every job is asking for developer, there are not any single one that says that we can join without the experience of a developer, please reply if you can.
Hey, it's nice to see an Indian Game designer. I'm also from India and also, facing similar problem as yours. I'm a game developer and I want to become a game designer😅
@psadicodes oh that's sad, it's like i am finding hard what to do unity or unreal or godot, because I find coding hard, so need to have some tutor or something like that who can teach me the coding from very scratch and basics of both c++ for unreal and c# for unity. But need to learn both of these coding languages and both of these gaming engines from scratch, can you help me brother, if you can give me your Instagram I'd or whatsapp number, that will be helpful.
Man Indians always ask for "complete tutorial". Just read what the job requirements are. Find out whats commonly demanded. Youll find it on youtube Im sure. If you need a structure, you will find everything on Udemy.
Walter white finally got rid of crystal and start to code an amazing RV for cat to cook 😂YEY , lets hope Sam doesn’t check this comment RIP The game looks cool fr and i hope u and Walter successful journey ☕️🐱 Wishlist the game twice in my 2 accounts 🔥🦦
Wishlist Desktop Cat Cafe on Steam! store.steampowered.com/app/2978180/Desktop_Cat_Cafe/
PLEASE MAKE GAME FOR MOBILE 😮

I hope it gets to 7000 wishlists!
Thank you! 🤞🤞

Hey, good job! Nice knowing the behind the scenes.. best of luck for the release.
Thank you!
very cool concept, added to my wish list. cheers!
Thank you!

Finally! The camera got you in focus...
I feel like this game is gonna be huge, what a genius idea
Thank you!
Nice job, Sam and Walter!
Thank you!!
Thanks!
This is such a cool idea and loved the graphics and animation. This is gonna be a big hit for sure
Thank you!

Is this gonna be like rainmeter, where I can just choose the monitor and have the setting that every other application is above it?
You'll be able to choose the monitor, and you can also choose if you want it in the background or the top of other applications.
@samyam thats awesome!
That's pretty neat and your ability to not give up is admirable.
I wanna have this running at work 🎉
Thank you so much!
This is really cool! I've been wanting to make an idle desktop game as well so I should probably give that a shot sometime lol
Thanks! 😄
please explain how the transparent background works. how can we implement it?
Just a cool tip:
instead of .gif-files, you could try using animated .png (.apng). They share the same file type, but consist of frames which play out. You don't have the color limitations, transparency supported and the size doesn't explode as much.
Good to know, thank you!
You have my wishlist if you guys can go into detail about the transparency trick!
So much work
It looks so cute !
Thanks 😄
Amazing game! (also finally I saw you clearly!!😂)
Haha thank you, I finally figured out the camera xD
Cool work!
Thank you!
Plz port to Samsung refrigerator thx
😩
I wish the best for the Barcelona gang 😎
🤘🤘🤘
Love this!
Thank you so much!
Good job.
Thanks!
Drama in game dev is just game dev
Congrats on fame dev 🎉
Haha thank you!
wow well done! 😮

Great job, this looks awesome! Please please please please release a Linux build of this xXx

@@samyam I wishlisted! but I use linux too, hopefully it will work with some proton version. the game looks so good 😍

Very cool!
Thanks :D

You should target and send your game to tchat cozzy streamer, that dont play game for their content or something like that.
it is okay to make each cat nod in different ways? I think it would add personality
Do you mean while eating?
IMGONNAWISHLISTTT
THANKYOU
Algorithm-chan!~~~
Would be cool if you could have your twitch viewers/subscribers be your customers in the game as an option!
We are planning on adding twitch integration yes :D!
The game was made because you are silly.
😂
Same same but mine is not silly
Will it be adaptable to Mac?
Yes we plan on adding Mac support 😄

Yay! When San uploads, I click.
And yes... I've already wishlisted it. My kids will love this.
i have got a feeling that you are iranian🤪
0:26 that is called plagiarism or reskin shame on you
It’s called inspiration, our game is completely different.
