Kitten Stream Game

Overview

I want to make a 2D simulation of a single room in a house. In the room will be a 2d sprite representing a cat.

The room will be completely visible at first (no side scrolling)

• on the left will be a bed where the feet are facing the camera
• there will be a desk in the background next to the bed
• next to the desk will be a cat condo
• next to the cat condo will be a litter box
• under the bed will be food and water

The cat will do the following actions randomly

• go to the water bowl and drink
• go to the food bowl and eat
• disappear inside the litter box (you can only see its eyes)
• climb the cat condo
• sleep

Things to figure out

• where can i get 2D art as placeholders?

Crazy stretch goals

• ui stable diffusion to convert photos from people of their cats into in-game 2d assets
• “cat”-aracter creator – you can build up your cat from common types of cats
• able to add yourself into a streamer’s instance by donating tokens
• the room is now a house or apartment that remains focused on the streamer’s cat and the cat runs around the house and interacts with visiting cats
• you can customize the house adding things like:
  • feather toys
  • cat condos
  • shelf / ladder / climbing along the walls things
  • cat treats
• you can interact with the cat
  • brush it
  • clip nails
  • clean ears
  • brush teeth

things to remember

• resist the urge to do unity or unreal
• resist the urge to do a lot of upfront devops, repository setup – focus on getting started
• setup a VM (need to reboot i think?) to start as my blank slate
• do need to spend some time learning how to setup OBS

Things I know I need to learn

• some kind of game engine, https://godotengine.org/
• where to get placeholder art
• what kind of REST api is available for twitch, joystick
