Cats are Liquid - A Better Place is a 2D platformer about a liquid cat and her friends. You play as the cat, in a place created just for you and your friends. You get to go on a nice adventure with them where nothing goes wrong and everything is perfect, as long as your friends stay there, right by your side. Over the course of the game, you get to explore 120 rooms and discover new abilities like the hookshot and light burst. You can also create your own worlds, and share them with others through the Steam Workshop. All of the rooms in the game were made using the same editor that's included in the game. So if you see something in an official world, you can do that in your own custom world. There's a couple days left in the launch sale so if you're quick you can get it for just $1.35! Links!

- Last Quarter Studios Discord! - 9 August 2018
Hey! Listen! There's a Last Quarter Studios Discord now! discord.gg/Qa5sCd9 Discord is going to be a way better way to communicate plans regrading the next Cats are Liquid, progress updates and such. There’s channels for fan-art, story related discussions, announcements, all that cool stuff. And (obviously) there’s also fancy custom emoji! I’ll be (semi) active on there most of my waking hours, keeping the window open under/next to Unity and Visual Studio, and popping in to answer questions or to just chat. There’s also a cool mod on there called Ninetales. He should be active around the time when I’m sleeping, so there’s always someone there to keep an eye on things. There's about 50 members there already, and it's growing at a rather steady pace. Go join before it’s too late! And by before it’s too late I mean before the invite link that I set to never expire, expires.
