WHERE ARE THE TREATS?!

Where Are The Treats?! (WATT?!) is a cozy collect-a-thon created over the course of two weeks for FIEA. In WATT?!, you play as Curlyfry the Cat, loveable companion to a college student with a knack for coming home late and being slightly forgetful. I mean seriously, who left these treats all over the house, and where is the actual food in your bowl?! As you make your way down from your cat tower after a restful nap, you strut from the living room into the kitchen, looking for a meal and nibbling on some treats on the way. When no sustenence turns up, you rush to your owner's room, wondering where they could've gone during this most urgent of scenarios, only finding stray treats on and around their bed. Finally, you retreat back to the kitchen, ready to sniff around for some more treats, when you hit the jackpot!

PROCESS

WATT stayed in scope throughout the allotted two weeks, and was a ton of fun to work on! The map, and concept itself, is inspired by my housing arrangement while in college, so it was a really cozy experience to bring that era back to life and recapture some of the essence of those chaotic college years (shoutout my dearest college cat, Soup, who now has an automatic feeder). It stayed as a three-room level, though drew inspiration from games like Genshin Impact, which make use of visible yet unplayable/inaccessible areas to make the world feel more completely thought out. I used various spotlights throughout the environment to simulate a sunset, and added nature SFX to more fully immerse the scene in the time of day. I also carefully curated, imported, textured, and placed more than thirty assets throughout the scene to aid in the storytelling and the scene feeling lived in. In the gameplay recording, I aimed to mimic the movements of a cat as closely as possible, drawn from observations of my own two darlings.
