and help. If you like the game, tell us what you like, consider writing a
review and tell all your friends about it. If you don't like it, tell
us what you don't like and we will do our best to include it in the
upcoming Releases.

We just rolled out update 1.3 which is a very minor update.
Unfortunately you won't see any cool new features. The update was
required to fix a minor flaw related with the Unity Engine, that would
conflict with the upcoming European data protection law.

But we still want to make you happy, so first of all we remind you on the cute little easter fun we had:


Discord

Next, we'd like to invite you joining our discord channel. This is your chance to get in direct contact with the development:
https://discord.gg/BSMj4Ut

Discord is a cool new platform that enables players to chat and discuss all things about games.

Finally, we want to share our upcoming plans with you:

Roadmap 2018

After
our launch in February we started with post-launch phase 1. This phase
brought us two updates: 1.1 the Easter update and 1.2 the spring update.
Phase one ended with the end of April and we are now starting with
phase 2.

Phase two is focussing on bringing Konrad the Kitten to a
wider audience. Besides this we are introducing more social ways to
communicate with you, our fans! We want to know what you like and also
what you don't like when playing Konrad the Kitten. We already launched
our presence at discord as a new medium to get in direct contact with
you. We will also revamp our Konrad the Kitten website to make it more
accessible. We also plan to create a whole new trailer for the game that
is in Mixed Reality style.

Besides the support for Konrad the
Kitten, our other game will launch in summer. You may have already heard
of FusionPlay Heroes as we are already working on it since 2012. Game
Design and Development has already been finished since 2016 so this does
not conflict with the Konrad the Kitten development. But FusionPlay
Heroes is a physical game which is really unique. It is played with
playing cards that contain NFC radio chips. Together with a smartphone
app, this creates a whole new gaming genre. If you like to know more
about it, follow our facebook page for the game: http://www.facebook.com/FusionPlayHeroes
All latest information will be posted there.


In
parallel to the launch of FusionPlay Heroes, phase 3 is starting.
Although phase 3 will start in early summer, you won't see any results
before autumn. The reason is: we are planning to create a HUGE FREE UPDATE
for Konrad the Kitten. This update will make Konrad the Kitten become a
worthy version 2.0. As we are planning some major new features. The
update will take the whole summer and autumn to become ready. But you'll
get it for free 🙂

Now let us know: What do you think about these plans?

Update 1.5 - Merry Christmas





We just deployed our new content update "1.5 - Merry
Christmas" to Oculus users. The update will overhault the existing Christmas event and bring some more Christmas stuff to all players.


First
of all, the santa hat is still available. You can get it by going to
the teddy bear shop and looking on top of the wardrobe. You'll see the
shopkeeper has already taken one of the santa hats 😉


As
soon as you start the game, you'll notice that the Entrance Area is now
decorated with plastic christmas stuff and also plays some christmas
music. Besides the decoration, you'll find a bowl with cookies in front
of you. As it is christmas time, it's okay to have the kitten have one
or two 😉


The living room has also received new decorations. You'll find a new christmas tree and a new fireplace next to you.

All
together: This is not our largest update, we know. We just wanted to
bring some light into your kitten's home during christmas time. In the
meantime we are progressing well with our large 2.0 update that is
scheduled for late winter. The new level we add is already 90% done. But
this is just one of the big new features that will come.

Have a great christmas everyone!

Hi, when looking for the lost kitten, the speech bubble with the instructions seems to stay up forever. When finding and putting the lost kitten in the basket, are the instructions supposed to go away ?
