🐈‍🍺 Hello to all who have been waiting for the news!

Wuss no Boots is rapidly approaching the launch of the play-test: we are actively polishing the project, adding prettiness, and reducing bugs. Today we have brought you a little look from behind the scenes at the art by our dear @alpacarma that will decorate the main menu very soon!

We are here with you again! Our new column is development! Here we will share all sorts of interesting stories and details about the development of our game in order to show our work process on the one hand, and on the other - to give you more understanding of what to expect from the game in the future.

Today we will tell you about some of the sources of inspiration. What unites them? The games from which the inspiration was taken are mostly focused on other mechanics. And also they're all from the same studio.

The idea of the basic mechanics came from the "Stories at the Bottom of the Glass" event in Honkai: Star Rail. The local bar is completely in a dream world, and mixing drinks is sometimes interrupted by solving platform puzzles that are slightly absurd due to the nature of sleep. And even though we have moved far enough away from this source of inspiration, it clearly deserves to be mentioned.

There are quite a few platformers that could serve as inspiration for the set of movements of our cat. There were a lot of them, truly, but the most painful problem - how to make a comfortable jump with such controls and a camera - was solved by the "Marcel's Great Adventure" mode from Zenless Zone Zero. Our main character is very similar in build to Bangboo! His legs, hovewer, are a bit longer!

And also… The new event at Genshin Impact, which reminded us of the advantages of painting different surfaces, also seems to be pushing for some kind of idea… Stay in touch and you will find out everything!

A single thread from everyone and there's a shirt for a naked one. So, piece by piece, the image of a mechanic has developed in our (and perhaps yours!) head. The demo version is just around the corner - and you can try to see for yourself what became the inspiration for this or that part of the game!

🐈 We are starting the first issue of our first column! This one is a fun fact!

During the development, the model of the main character was changed several times. The last two of them are on the screenshot!

🐈‍🍺 Have you ever dreamed of owning magic? Create something out of nothing? Having a mere thought about an invigorating, delicious, cool drink — and it's already in your hand? This has not yet been brought into reality. Sadly. But you can always enjoy it in the game!

We present you the indie game "Wuss no Boots" — a little story about a little cat and his bar on chicken legs! But do not think that you will just stand at the counter and mix drinks — your guests, inspired by various Slavic mythology, love to talk, but even more they love to dream! Jump into their dreams and get out a cocktail they never dreamed of!

What awaits you here? 😺 News from the fields: game development is an amazing process, and we have a story or two to share with you! 😺 Get to know the characters — you will be able to learn various funny facts and jokes about those who will visit your bar! Find out before everyone else what the name of Lyazhka stands for, and when the Goldfish's birthday is! 😺 Special categories, meme screenshots, open discussions, news about upcoming updates and much more!

Well, that's here, and what can you expect from the game? 🍻 Graphics inspired by the style of the noughties games, the Cartoon Network's cartoons and "How to draw anime?" books 🍻 A diverse cast of characters — descendants of various Slavic spirits, heroes of fairy tales and holidays, from Koshchei the Immortal to Maslenitsa, from the Snow Maiden to the Mara! 🍻 Gameplay (yes, you can also play the game, what a wild concept!), consisting of conversations about important things with visitors to your bar, and walks through their dreams to get the cocktails thay want 🍻 Models, music, art and code made by our hardworking hands — no AI of yours, just traditional values!

Is it interesting? Then stay tuned — it will be even more interesting soon!
