Latest Steam announcements

• Controller support and updated engine released! - 21 July 2024

  We have released the controller support & engine updates advertised last year on the main branch! As previously discussed, this adds support for controllers in line with the support added to our recent Xbox release. It also updates the game to the latest version of Visionaire, which has been shown to resolve some CTDs that people were experiencing before. In addition to those core changes, it also addresses a few minor art issues and smooths certain puzzle solutions. Nothing major. If you experience any new crashes with this build, please let us know. The "legacy" branch can be activated in the Steam beta branch settings at any time to switch back to the pre-update code.

• Coming Soon: Update 1.1.0 (now in open beta) - 6 October 2023

  Hello detectives! As mentioned quite a while ago, we've been working on a new update for NNL. The primary goal for this update was to upgrade our engine to the newer version to hopefully address some of the more fundamental bugs that players have run into, such as odd cursor behaviour on Mac and various rare crashes. Since we haven't been able to replicate these ourselves, an engine update is all we can really do in terms of addressing them. While that was in progress, we also got an opportunity to add controller support to the game. Progress on that is going extremely well, and is more or less complete. Some puzzles (such as the KK peanut grab) have been streamlined to be more accessible on controller, hotspot sizes have been increased as needed, text has been increased in size to be readable at TV distance, and lots more! Note that only Xbox controllers are officially supported throug…

• Nine Noir Lives releasing September 7, 2022 - 7 July 2022

  Pretoria, South Africa (July 7, 2022) — Today, independent developer Silvernode Games is purring with delight, as they are announcing that their comedy-noir “point-and-lick” adventure game, Nine Noir Lives, will claw its way onto PC via Steam and GOG on September 7, 2022. Cat lovers and adventure game aficionados alike are invited to pounce into the furry, delicate, yet capable paws of Cuddles Nutterbutter and unravel a fun — and occasionally fiendish — feline mystery set in the beautifully hand-drawn city of Meow Meow Furrington. The story, themes, and tone of Nine Noir Lives draws its inspiration from several very different sources, including classic film noir, Shakespeare, and the absurdist comedy style of writer and director Taika Waititi. This unlikely combination allowed Silvernode Games to craft a unique, comedic adventure grounded by more serious subject matter. In Nine Noir Liv…

• Casting call: Henchtigers - 27 June 2020

  Intro We have some characters we need to cast - and we're opening it up to under-represented voices! We’re especially interested in lesser-known accents and dialects, people with speech impediments or vocal handicaps, or any vocal flavour that has made you think your voice isn't beautiful. We want you for our game, and we'll pay you! We’re paying 150 CAD for about 360 words of recording. Because everyone deserves to be heard. Character Description The henchtigers are the muscle for one of the nasty criminal elements that operate in the cat city of Meow Meow Furrington. Due to a shortage of actual tigers, most of them aren't tigers at all, but just orange tabby cats. They keep using the name, though, because it's more intimidating. However, they are still ordinary cats at the end of the day, and the lines in this audition show that through a very mundane, low-stakes interaction. Deadline…

• Cats, comedy, and crime...welcome to Nine Noir Lives! - 16 June 2020

  Nine Noir Lives is a comedy-noir "point-and-lick" adventure game, set in a city of talking cats. Play as Cuddles Nutterbutter, second-best PI in town and owner of two definitely normal-sized paws. Armed with your wits, your assistant Tabby Mashmallow, and a tongue that's ready for anything, you'll talk, puzzle and lick your way across the cat city of Meow Meow Furrington to solve a murder that threatens to upset the delicate balance between the Montameeuw and Catulet crime families. Our demo is a thirty-minute slice from near the start of the game, selected to give you a taste of what you can expect when the full version releases next year - without spoiling anything 😺 It includes full English voice acting, and text translations into both German and Afrikaans. NNL has been a four-year labour of love for Silvernode, with just the two of us working on it in our spare time, with assistanc…
