OMG Cats!

Brief Produciton Update
12 months ago – Tue, Jun 10, 2025 at 02:56:56 PM

Hello Fancy Cats!

Summer warmth has finally arrived here in Louisville and summer cons are happening soon. OMG Cats! is progressing well. Liz and Steffie are in the final process of checking the main text to make sure it’s consistent. Some of the micro-settings they've cooked up are so good! For the Curious Yarns adventure book, six of the ten adventures have been completed and I have seen drafts of three more. Michele’s take on a “dungeon crawl” set in a series of crawl spaces is great. Brigitte and Dustin have done an incredible job on a sci-fi tale which begins when all the Notails sleep too late! Mike is continuing to make the art. Everything is progressing pretty much on schedule. Hopefully we’ll be sending the two books to print by the fall.

The next update will happen when the Backerkit is ready. Those of you who backed to have your cat in the card deck, get your photo ready because sending it will be part of the survey.

Updates as there is news, or in a month. Talk to you then. Meow!

You all are awesome!!! 366 of you decided to throw support behind OMG Cats!!! allowing us to finally bring to life a game for all the cat lovers out there! We absolutely CANNOT thank you enough.

Funding Goal Reached! (and Fetch Quest Add-on)
about 1 year ago – Tue, Apr 15, 2025 at 06:54:30 PM

FUNDING GOAL REACHED

Hey everyone! We're thrilled to say that we've reached our funding goal and are working towards some additional support for the project. We're extremely grateful for the support you all have already thrown behind this project and are thankful for your help spreading the word. We wrap up the project on Saturday and we're hoping to gain some more supporters for the end of the campaign, and for our campaign wrap-up Q&A.

Heckin' Good Doggos Fetch Quest Add-on

I was brought to our attention the Fetch Quests adventure book doesn't show up as an add-on in the add-on section. It looks like the add-on was created during project set-up but wasn't linked to any pledge levels. As it stands, if you would like to get the Fetch Quests adventure book as an add-on, you can increase your pledge by $20 and when the BackerKit goes out, you'll see that as an option on the survey. We apologize for the oversight, but we'll make sure you'll be able to get the book if you have your eye on it. 

OMG! WE'RE SO CLOSE! (and an interview with artist Mike Mumah)

So Close!

Hey everyone! We're absolutely blown away by the support and love you all have thrown behind this project so far. We have a little over a week left, and our funding goal is in sight. We can't wait to get OMG Cats! into as many hands as possible. It's been a crazy few weeks for our industry, but we at Wet Ink Games keep plugging along with our writers, designers, and artists to keep making as many fun games as we can to bring a little bit of joy into the world. Thank you so much for being a part of that. 

We'd love to have you join our LIVE Q&A Saturday April 19th starting at 8 PM Eastern. We'll be broadcasting live on our YouTube channel, so you can hop into the live chat and we'll answer your questions as we go. (Link below)

Mike Mumah Interview

Our Creative Director, Matthew Orr, interviewed artist Mike Mumah about his art, process, OMG Cats! and more for the most recent Wet Ink Wednesday. It's a great interview, and you can check out all of our other interviews on ourYouTube Channel. (FYI, this is also where we'll be doing the end of campaign LIVE Q&A)

Projects We're Backing

Our friend, Justin Sirois, from Severed Books has a project now for SICKEST WITCH, his RPG of Folk Horror. This book is packed full of his amazing art and uses a pretty cool system to give players a "Dark Souls"/Resource management feel. This is something not really seen in a lot of RPGs and his twist has a lot of cool mechanics. His art really makes this book sing, and there are still some opportunities to get some original artwork as part of your pledge. IT'S ALSO HIS BIRTHDAY TODAY so hop over there and pass along some birthday wishes and support.

Golden Good Girls is a game that combines two of my favorite things: Rescue Dogs and The Golden Girls. You play older dogs which are seen as "unadoptable" and get to share your golden years with some of your best friends. Getting to craft your version of your shelter and the relationships of your dogs so you can tell the sitcom tales while earning real life "treats" that you share with your table. Any time you have a game that encourages sharing snacks, I'M IN! This game is now available for preorder from our friends at Scryptid Games.
