As the proprietor/chosen human/minion of two twitchy felines, I’m pretty sure that no less than 80% of the issues proven within the trailer for Max & Maya: Cat Simulator are factually inaccurate, although I want that wasn’t the case. The thought of cat civilization rising to fill the facility vacuum within the occasion of a zombie apocalypse is an amusing one.
Due for launch someday in 2018, the debut title from OMG Studio, Max & Maya, appears to be like to be a wierd mix of influences and genres that, regardless of seemingly boundless potential for jank, has simply sufficient polish and creativity on present within the trailer after the leap to pique my curiosity.
While the deliberately glitchy mess that’s Goat Simulator does appear to be no less than a partial inspiration for Max & Maya (no less than when it comes to tone) there has clearly been plenty of effort and time poured into the motion animations on these cats, as they bounce and leap their method throughout the surroundings, so I don’t need to dismiss it as simply one other wacky mash-up of mismatched recreation belongings.
One particular screenshot on the Steam storefront for the sport exhibits a settlement administration display, with you assigning mogs to varied roles round your fortress dwelling. The sheer quantity of stats and assets on present means that both it’s a very elaborate throwaway joke, of hinting that there’s stunning depth and complexity to the sport.
Given a few of the unusual otherworldly environments confirmed within the trailer, and such surreal scenes as cats battling alien invaders by moonlight, and feline versus canine royal rumbles aided by magical bombardment from the sidelines, there may be one thing actually distinctive happening right here.
Max & Maya: Cat Simulator isn’t due for launch till some methods into 2018, however you’ll be able to wishlist it on Steam if you wish to be stored abreast of any shock launch bulletins. No price ticket
