• A very close, if not one-to-one recreation of the Battle Cats engine, featuring accurate enemy and unit hit-boxes with proper attack animations and unit stats
  
• A trimmed down first chapter of Empire of Cats, possibly going to contain only 24 levels instead of 48 (in order to speed up game time)
  
• The first nine Normal Cats, most of the Special Cats, and a couple of Rare Cats
  
• The Cat Capsule and Rare Cat Capsule, with a potential “pity” system which increases drop rates for rarer cat units the more you use the capsules
  
• Properly imported menus to look exactly like its mobile game counterpart, such as the main menu, the Cat Base, and the chapter map
  
• Cat Food and XP currencies used to purchase special items and level up your cat units respectively

• PLAYTESTER
  Getting slightly full…still available!
  The playtester will test the most recently shared builds of the project. Playtesters are required to document as many issues as they can; this includes not just programming errors but also if the project is fun to the outsider, and to suggest balance changes to cat units and levels if they don’t fit right in the game yet.
  
• ENGINE CONSTRUCTION
  Currently available
  The Battle Cats’ engine is very delicate and should be highest priority over everything else in this project. Engine construction is a pretty complex process to go through and will require lots of knowledge on the original Battle Cats engine. However, the basic idea is that there are “bounding boxes” for all cats, enemies, the Cat Base and enemy base. The cats and enemies can then use their own “attack hitbox” to begin attacking their target if such hitbox touches an opposing bounding box.
  (footage taken from Battle Cats Ultimate, containing visible hit-boxes from the official game)
  
• NEW! GENERAL PROGRAMMING
  Currently available
  General programmers’ main objective is to program many sections of the game, such as the settings menu, polished animations, and FPS optimization. They may also be tasked by optimizing or fixing bugs that currently exist within a game build. General programmers should not be confused with engine construction, as they do not have involvement in it.
  
• MENUS AND UI
  Currently unavailable
  The menus are ui help build the environment for the player and make the game feel much more lively. Many of them include animations when interacted with and are not just a simple button click-n-vanish. This project will mostly be using already existing presets from the original Battle Cats, but because Scratch uses a 4:3 stage border for the project player, they will have to be adjusted to fit accordingly. The menus and ui included in this game but not limited to are: the main menu, the Cat Base, the battle engine and the settings menu.

I will do activity checks every few weeks for a progress update. If there is no response to the check within the deadline, you will be removed from the collaboration.

@maxcrocky (menus and ui)
Needs some work / Due December 1st
Work on the main menu screen. You can make the main menu a carbon copy of the original or you can completely remake it, it’s up to you! You will need to implement the animations for button clicks and such as well, just like the original game.

@Tu2tl3Gamz (menus and ui)
Not yet complete / Due December 1st
Work on the Cat Base screen. While preferably it should be as close to the original game as possible, you can make it however you like! Implementation of button animations should closely resemble other parts of the collaboration made by others.

@DogePrograming (engine construction)
Not yet complete / Due December 1st
Work on a basic engine for the battle system; that is, deploying units, cat and enemy ai, and a cat cannon + base hp. You are not required to create a scrolling system or spritework, but you may if you would love to.

@LaughabIe (general programming)
Not yet complete / At your own pace
Work on the GAMATOTO system; i don’t need to put info here for myself

Playtesters
Most have reached back / Due December 1st
Here is a list of completed and work-in-progress parts of the game. You will need to leave a review on each project and give constructive feedback on how to improve it. Preferrably post your review on @Laughabie’s profile comments.
