Give Scratch Cat different costumes

I think, like Gobo/Gobo's Friends, the Scratch Cat sprite should have different facial expressions, they could either replace the current cat sprite or be their own sprite “Cat Emotions” (or something like that).

I agree! - for example with the Scratch Cat pack ?

Support. It would be easier that having to draw different faces on the existing Scratch Cat sprite.

There isn't one.

This would be nice. Scratch Cat is a little hard to edit, sometimes.

PLEASE just use one post.


Anyway, back on track,
Yeah! Huge support!
This way, people wouldn't have to manually edit scratch cat and instead already have some emotions they could use to express the sprite's feelings!

Can there be one? So far the only thought I got was a cat with a gobo face.

Could you maybe change the name to “give Scratch Cat more costumes” rather than “more like Gobo”? I feel like that would be more explanatory.

I did mistake it as turning scratch cat to gobo that should not confuse people so….

That one's just @ScratchCat's version of the cat, not the new costumes.

Arguably a two-frame walk cycle is much more difficult for the average newcomer to make than a different facial expression. It's not hard at all to flip the Scratch Cat's smile upside down to resemble a frown. On the other hand, due to the complex structure of the Scratch Cat sprite, it's perhaps impossible to make a walk cycle for the Scratch Cat using only flips and rotations. As such, the walk cycle probably should not be removed.

Maybe they could make a “Cat Walking” sprite instead. Also, Gobo, Nano, and Tera don't have walk cycles.

Why not just keep things the same and just add different cat emotions to the sprite library instead?
