Update on the rewrite!

Hi everybody! Just a quick update on the rewrite of Cat World. I’m still working on the server at this point, but it’s almost done. I’m taking a new direction with it this time: instead of writing in every single feature to start with, I’m going to try to get a playable demo going ASAP. So for now, I’m skipping login and related stuff, it’ll just generate a random cat when you start playing.Once it’s finished, plus the skipped features, it’ll have MySQL databases for storing cat info, among other things.I’ll keep you posted!Billy

Cat World Rewrite Underway!

Hi guys! I know it’s been months since anything useful has happened here, but today that will change. I’m doing a complete rewrite of Cat World! Both the servers and the CatClient are being rebuilt from the ground up. Why, you ask? Because the original code was a mess. When I opened it earlier this week, I had no idea how it worked. :) Obviously this resets the version number to 0, and I’m not sure if I’ll count them the same way or not. But, it’s coming along nicely so far, the CatServer is almost ready to be … Continue Reading

I’m still here!

Hi everybody! I’ve been busy lately (like since the beginning of august…), but never fear! I’ve been drawing sphere cats every opportunity I get. My school notebooks are full of them. I might scan a page or two just to show you.Anyway, expect the update frequency to go way up in a couple months, I’ve come up with a way to have multiple blogs and one blog all at once. blog.SphereCat1.com for the win! (Still coming soon.)Bye for now!

School Starts, Cat World Development Slowed Again

Hi everybody! School just started a couple of days ago, and I’ve got more work than ever, so expect fewer updates. (I know, there are bearly any now!)As soon as I get used to school again I promise I’m going to start on Cat World again. (It’ll help that I’m getting a Mac next month, too.)  You’ll just have to be patient until then. All three of you.Bye for now!P.S.: I could still use some storyline ideas, too!

Updates are coming, you just don’t know it yet.

Hi everybody! I know I haven’t been here much, but that’s all going to change soon. As soon as it hits October 1st, I should be ordering my brand new iMac!!!!!!!!!! ! I’m waiting until then to see if they drop the price, there are various rumors that they will.Once that happens, Cat World should be coming back full swing. I still can’t export my models, but we’ll figure that out. It’ll probably help even more once I have the launch of SphereCat1.com out of the way. Yay, more stuff I have to buy. But It’ll all be … Continue Reading

A Cat World movie?

Hi everybody! I’m working on a concept for a movie filmed totally inside Cat World, mostly to test all the features in the most extreme way I can think of. Obviously this is a while off, but I just thought I’d throw it out there!In other news:The reason I’ve been away is that I’m really busy with other things. I’m switching the name of my company type thing to SphereCat1 Software, mostly known as SphereCat1. I’m doing this because it sounds a lot cooler than BD Computers. Also, I’ve been coming up with good ideas left and … Continue Reading

Nintendo DS!

Hi everybody! I’m looking to get a DS probably in October, after I get my iMac, and I want to hack it to run Linux. So of course Nintendo is now suing the companies who make the stuff to do this.Looks like I’ll have to get the hacking stuff before I can even use it!Bye for now!
