It took a little longer than I expected but Catgirl Care Chibi is ready for a new beta!
The main highlights of this update are the new time/schedule system, the weekly checkup, and the 4 new locations you can visit with your catgirls. Together, these should form a simple loop where you can work on improving your catgirl's stats over time while allowing you to still enjoy spending time with your catgirls.
At this point, I'd consider the basic structure of the game complete but there's still a little more to do. If you remember the roadmap (from this post), I'd say that Catgirl Care Chibi is currently at the "Find the Fun" stage of development. That means I need feedback to help me decide what direction the game should take from here! Please leave your feedback in the comments (you can also message me privately).
I'll be taking a brief break from Catgirl Care Chibi to work on laying the groundwork for my other project, Rockin' Resort. Once I've gotten a little work done there, I'll be coming back to this project to figure out what I want to do next. Depending on your feedback, I may decide to dive right into development for Catgirl Care proper or I may spend a bit more time on Chibi to add improvements.
Anyhow, I'm sure I'll dive into this more with a future update. Enjoy your time with your catgirls!
