YouTube Roundup April 16th, 2018

This week on YouTube we’re dishing on improved search functionality, Thursday Purrsdays, Joey’s wooden cats, and Kitties For A Cause.

This week, Daniela joins us as host of the roundup, wearing a cat shirt whose cat we never see. It’s like Waiting for Godot. But she does chat about how well received the Cat Codex has been. Not to pat ourselves on the back, but hey, if we can reach why not, and you like it! You really like it! Game progression is something you’ve been asking for, and this is just the beginning of the changes we have planned. We know you’d like to see your Fancy Cats in the Codex, and we’re definitely working that. We can’t promise a date, because we’ve learnt better than to do so, but we can promise it’s coming! We see a whole suite of future tools surrounding collecting your Kitties.

Thursday Purrsday launched this week. It went really well. We loved that you rallied together as a community to solve the puzzles! After Thursday, we released a few more hints to guide you towards the final, unhinted traits. What did you think about how it went?

We love building with you all. You make awesome art, games like KittyRaces, tools and experiences — everything, really! Shoutout to @KittyWagon on Instagram, who made insanely awesome wooden CryptoKitties. We want one for our office real bad. If you’ve made something, comment below and link to it. We’ll keep doing shoutouts.

Finally, Bella and her Kitty Den have put together Kitties For A Cause, and the auction is going really well! They’ve already collected 1 ETH for the Seattle Children’s Hospital (since we recorded this, that number has jumped to over 2 ETH! Amazing contributions, everyone!), and the auction continues until April 30th. We can make a difference in the world, and Bella is proving that! Donate, participate. We’d love to see more initiatives like this.

That’s it for us this week! We look forward to seeing you in the comments.
