⏫ 9Cat Saga V0.7.0 Updates ⏫
Welcome back 9Catters to another exciting installment of the 9Cat Saga game!
The V0.7.0 version of the 9Cat Saga has been in development for quite some time and packs a ton of great new features we’re sure our players are going to love as well as hinting at what’s to come in future updates. So without further ado, let’s dive into some of the newest additions to the 9Cat Saga!
🌸World 2 : Mt Sakura🌸
The largest update by far is the introduction of the 2nd world of the 9Cat Saga — Mt. Sakura.
This world has been built from the ground up and is inspired by Japanese culture and the concept of Yokai. You’ll find Sakura trees, a lush green landscape, bridges, water, and lots of enemies!
The new world brings 3 new types of enemies, each with their own attack styles. There’s the Kasa-obake that will hop around trying to lick you 👅, the Ittan-Momen which is a long-range ghost-like character that’ll give you a toilet paper mummification 🧻, and lastly the Buchi-Buchi which is essentially a possessed lantern that will firebomb you into the depths of hell. Trust me, the Buchi-Buchi’s attack ain’t no joke….He lays down the law 🥲
Everything in Mt. Sakura is not only beautiful, but also extractable! You can have fun using 9Cat’s Extraction gun on the various environmental features you find to see what items you get!
🧭 New General Quest : Unknown Machine Detected 🧭
Mysterious machines have popped up all over the place and they’re wreaking havoc. Reports from HQ say that when you get close to them their defense mechanism activates! We don’t know where they’ve come from, what they do or who made them, but one thing is for certain, they need to go. Find and Destroy the machines 9Cat!
This new mission type is selectable upon creating a game in both the UFO Ruins and Mt. Sakura worlds. Simply select ‘Unknown Machine Detected’ in the General Quest section after clicking ‘Create Game’.
🧭New Core Mission: Operation Save the Sparkos🧭
The robot inhabitants of the UFO Ruins, The Sparkos, need your help! After the planet’s biological creatures succumbed to the mysterious space virus, they started going crazy. To make matters worse, somebody tampered with the range bots to attack on sight. The situation is messy to say the least. Search for any remaining Sparkos and help them out!
Note: General Quests are the primary goal selected when creating a game. Core Missions relate to the main story of the 9Cat Saga and are available regardless of the General Quest selected. Completing General Quests and returning back to the 9Cat Home Space / 9Cat Social Hub via portal will result in a 9Photon reward. Completing Core Missions will result in a reward dependent on the number of times completed and difficulty of the mission. In the future Mission rewards will be posted on Discord and in the 9Cat Wiki.
🦜The Social Hub 🦜
There’s a new place in town where you can meet all your 9Cat pals and that is Social Hub!
When you log into the latest version, you’ll notice that you are no longer spawned into 9Cat Home Space, but rather into a brand new area where you can see all others that are online on the same server. Show off your weapons, skins, emojis and chat with your buddies while you set up games from the central terminal.
This area is just getting started, so we are far from done with it. In the future, there will be a milk bar where you can spend your 9Milk tokens, a store where you can buy gear and skins from, leaderboards, mini-games and much more. This place will grow alongside 9Cat and will evolve over time, welcome to the future OG 9Catters, one step at a time!
You can switch server location through the menu in the top left corner of the screen. Currently there are options for the following locations: Asia, Japan, Korea, Europe, USA, South Africa. We will adjust and add servers based on player demand!
Please keep in mind that when you switch servers, you will only see others that are on the same server as you. If you want to join your buddies game, make sure to be on the same server as one another!
If you’d like to head back to your 9Cat Home Space, you can simply take the door at the top of the Social Hub to get there. From your Home Space you can sort out our inventory, change your weapons, 9Cat and create games if you need a break from the others!
🗺️ New Minimap and HUD 🗺️
V0.7.0 also brings a revamped Minimap and refined player HUD. The new HUD allows you to see your Nickname, Health, Remaining Energy, 9Cat Image, Level and 9Cat Attribute points all from an overlay in the top left of the screen. More Info, Less space and easier to read, can’t get better than that!
The revamped Minimap is a god-send of a new feature. It has been redesigned to be a little easier to follow adding player icons so that you can locate your teammates easier. You now have even less of an excuse to ignore your downed teammates screaming ‘REZ’ and ‘HELP ME’ at the top of their lungs 😉
There will be a changelog posted on Discord at a later point in time covering the major changes and additions in this version, but given the scope of the update and the amount of bugs both introduced and squashed in the iterative feature development process, we won’t be covering them in this article. We hope you understand 📜😆
With all that said now, we hope you enjoy traversing through Mt. Sakura and trying out the new missions with your friends! Feel free to let us know what you think of the update in the #game_feedback channel on the Discord server and if you spot any bugs that need exterminating, please report them in the #bug_report channel!
We will continue to strive towards building the best, fun to play, web3 game that we possibly can! Feel free to share this article around on your socials to show the world 9Cat means business! 💗 That’s all for now, but if you have any questions or would just like to have a chat with us, feel free to say hi on the Discord server! 💬
