Hey there, thank you for your kind words! It's my first ever project and I started back in August 2022. After a few months I went on a hiatus for about half a year to finally come back and release it to the public. At the moment I have 2 other projects that I try to work on from time to time, but this one will forever be a special one to me :3
Hey there, yeah, I think idling is not just about letting the game play itself, but turning it off to come back later and still having made the same progress. This changes when Automation is unlocked because I haven't been able to get it to work properly as of right now, but I will eventually :)

having to going into a menu to buy stuff which you then have to close to get back to the game is annoying. then even more so when you dont have enough karma so you have to leave, just time wasted entering and exiting this separate menu. or you want to check the price then you still have to go in again. more unnecessary opening and closing which soon becoming very annoying the more you do it.
it definitely is not better than how these type of games normally have a list of purchasables with their prices on display down the side. no opening nor closing of menus needed.
maybe there are autobuyers and things i haven't unlocked yet (i hope so) as i have just started today.
Hey there, yes, the start can be pretty tedious and unfriendly to new players, but you will unlock options that make the gameplay more convenient. After your first Prestige, there is an Upgrade that let's you hire all Cats and buy all Upgrades you can afford at the time. At the moment you will still need to open the shop to interact with this button, but I will add hotkeys in the future. I hope this helps and sorry for the inconvenience :)

It took me 3/4 day to raise 100 levels in Mewruto after update (sitting at 1M XP). With some test runs, I think the optimal pumping stat's ratio (currently) would be 1:1 for Agi (more enemies per second) and Int (more XP) giving that you have sufficient Str to 1-hit all mob (2-3 on elites)

How do you get the level 9 for each furriend title if you've already bought a building and its automatically training? Also nice dev! :D
Hey there, first off, thanks for the kind words :3 You could use the pause button at the top left the next time you prestige, then get all of your Furriends to level 9, so the Buildings don't generate any levels :D If this doesn't help, I was thinking of adding an option to turn off Buildings via a toggle.

I felt a little bit odd with my AS in Mewruto and did some research. One vital error with the Speed up (Jaguar): as you're using attack per second, spending points on it actually reduce the AS. If I reset and only put points in that skill, AS is reduced to 0.66/s from the base 1/s.

If you're going for the medium, after you get easy, buy the knots once. Then get two rounds of tickets (5 and 12) then get 12 again to level up knots twice in one go. This felt faster to me than lowering level cost, since the majority of your karma at this stage is the first 3 cats. From here alternate between cost, speed, and knots until tickets 3 (31) is the cheapest buy. The next run is the one that should get you to blessing, just leave it in the background for awhile exporting every 15 minutes
Hey there, that's some real good advice! Here's some more: at the top of your screen it should say "The Mewcomer" (if you haven't changed anything yet). This is actually a clickable button that leads to the Achievements and Ranks menu. There are certain Achievements that unlock Ranks, which can be activated to boost different parts of the game (i.e. Favor Gain or Cat efficiency). Make sure to check out the "Strategy" thread in the dedicated Discord channel to find out how to find the strongest Ranks :)

@shadree You need to reach 1B Karma collected. Your progress is shown on the bottom bar. Once the bar is full, click on it and take the "favor".
Hey there, you're right, I forgot to mention it anywhere :D The bar at the bottom is used as the prestige button. I hope this helps :) Edit: I've added a line of text to the manual. Thanks for pointing it out :)
Hey there, I have no idea if this is a FireFox or a Unity issue. People have reported problems with FireFox, especially when it comes to saving progress. To counteract that there is an export/import function

With some testing, I found the cap of reduced time of CC and Workshop is 240D/40BD|ED (264D/44BD|ED with 3 Docs), Gym (3600D with 3 Soldiers), which can be used to optimal usage of idle disciples for Karma/s & faster training. But training is also capped at 8/min (23.2/min with Rank), so after passing the threshold of Karma/s, you're freely to assign your disciple without worry. I suggest a diminishing return instead of capping for training so idle disciple is always a thing to consider.

Now that's the decent upgrade that make me consider devoting. Just wondering, if there is a case that people bought the Bigger Classroom or Dumbbell at 999, would they get refund?
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
@Ta1nted after a few devotion, I can instantly gain blessing to max out the upgrade, then gift a few time to get buildings to around 63+ and let the game run by itself till next devotion. maybe the negative disciple is the reason? dev might look into it. But tbh I don't recommend devoting anything above Disciple. 50 B.D. is almost 4 days of training and it will hurt the overall process. Now I even hesitate to devote as I have purchased all that require Devoted and devotion will cost me 1 P.B.D/P.E.D to empower CC again
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Don't know how everyone is doing it, but when I want blessings, I first use favored one to maximise my favor gain, then gifted one to maximise my gifts ascending and then blessed buddy, which almost doubles my total amount of blessings.
Found a bug in the later game, I devoted 100 Buffed disciples, when selecting amount of disciples to devote. I only had 50 buffed disciples (the + wasn't greyed out), did similarly for my educated disciples. Then I used my 1.6k devoted to buy upgrades and now I'm producing negative karma.

Just a quick message to thank you Developer ;-) It's great to see you so active. Love your game and can't wait to see what's next
Thank you for your kind words :) I'll be working on Meowruto RPG a little more, adding more content and features. As for the main game, I should finish the Devotion stage soon and work on the next one. Maybe I'll also be adding another Minigame in the meantime. Some kind of "Wheel of Fortune"-styled game with Jimmy Feline as a host :D

Hey, I'm currently in the devotion part and I think I understand it but 2 things :
- What is impacted by the workshop ?
- When promoting disciples, as there is a percentage for success, if the promotion fails, do we lose the disciple?
Thanks
Hey there, the Workshop increases the effect of your Cats' Upgrades (i.e. Kunai, Pyramid, etc.), so everytime it completes its cycle, the effects increase by 0.1% (base value, better with certain Upgrades). As for the Assessment Center, assigned Disciples are not lost, if they don't succeed, they just get unassigned and are idle until you give them another task. I was thinking of removing this feature. I hope this helps :)

@Iothil Automation works perfectly fine. If you want to unable it, just go in the "Automation Menu" in the settings (bottom right corner). It seems that Automation works by always buying the first available upgrade from top left to bottom right, which makes sense. Unable the automation if you want to upgrade specific features.
Explore the game to understand how it works before calling something "dumb automation crap" or "poorly designed".
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
To be precise, the priorisation seems skewed AF. Cleocatra next milestone is 120Q, upgrade is 127Q, and it will ALWAYS priorise upgrades for some dumb reason. So the ultimate outcome is that automation slows the game progress down. There should be a way to disable it.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
So yeah, that dumb automation crap stops buying cats, eg. cleocatra stops at 72 and the damn thing won't let my buy any more manually and doesn't do so itself...this is really poorly designed.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
automation is broken AF, since I bought it, I can't buy anything manually anmyore, including cats, despite having enough currency, and I can't turn of automation. Sad to see the game break over this.
Hey there, have you checked out the Settings Menu? There should be a button that opens up the Automation options. Sorry for the confusion, I didn't think it would be too difficult to find :)

I just randomly had Manny pop up to tell me something, but because I was clicking a lot (as you do in this game, if you want to be efficient), I clicked it away. I have no idea if he just taught me something? Or maybe some new feature opened up? There should be a way to read the last messages in chronological order. I know I can re-read info on blessing, favors, etc. but I don't know what topic he was talking about here. And "devotion" is just blank.

Am I missing something with Meowruto? I upgraded the entire skill tree and killed the boss in the first three zones but I can't seem to be able to unlock "Itchy island" and "Eerie Pond". Also, does this Meowruto RPH bring any kind of bonus?
Hey there, as of right now, only Stages 1 to 3 are accessible. I'll add more content in the future, when I get to it :) Also, version 0.4.2 finally added a bonus for playing it. Meowruto gets a Karma Gain boost depending on the total XP you've gained in Meowruto RPG (1% of Total XP is multiplied to the current revenue). The other Cats will get similar buffs when I get to create more minigames. I hope this helps :)
Hey there, you don't gain any Favors, even though the progress bar at the bottom fills up? I've fixed this bug today afaik. Did you receive the update? It should be version 0.4.2a. If not, try refreshing and if this does not help, I'll check again of course. :)
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
I agree but there is a better way to prevent exploit and other glitches in the future. By any mean, if the pop cap is reduced, those without home will leave and you receive a warning to confirm (i.e you will lose [amount] of disciples), just my idea, if you're ok with that (the new rank, the new CC is good) :3 thank you
I was thinking the same, I wasn't really sure if I should "punish" the player by removing Disciples, but warning them beforehand is fine by me :D I'll write that down and add it soon, thanks for the suggestion :)
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
And now after my first blessing, the bottom bar keeps filling up, but I don't get any favors anymore. I cannot proceed. Am I screwed?
Can you send me an export file of your game? Just go to Settings -> Import/Export, then click Export to download your save file. You can send it to me via email or Discord, whichever you prefer :) Email: aimless_studios@outlook.com

In the upgrade shop, there should be a way to disable the filters on the left and right. They always get in the way for me to buy more Jimmy Felines and Meowrutos.

I felt great and regret at the same time with the Construction Connoisseur (CC) rank update, as it's exactly what I thought it should be, but being able to grab Disciple Upgrade earlier at 3k2 pop is also sweet. Can I suggest Squeeze Master rank, with the old CC effect after staying at max pop (red color) for a good amount of time? Like, 12 hours (equal 3 homes)
Hey there, the problem with the old effect of increasing the pop cap is that by swapping ranks you could exploit the pop cap. For example: increase pop cap, train Disciples until you reach the pop cap, swap ranks, then you'll have more Disciples than you should be able to.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Thanks. The problem is that it always tells you "next favor at x", but once you are eligible for a gift, it doesn't tell you "x to go until the next gift", so it gives the impression that you can only get 1 gift in any ascension.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
I tried to load my saved game since my progress was wiped out. I cannot get it to load, when clicking the import button it doesn't work
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Is my understanding correct that you can only gain one gift per ascension, even though you can get multiple favors per prestige? If so, the game needs to clearly tell you.
You are correct, the game doesn't tell you this, but multiple Gifts per Ascension are possible. The same goes for Favors and any other kind of currencies that will be introduced later. This is the conversion rate for Gifts:
99 Favors -> 1 Gift.
I hope this helps :)

Thanks for the feedback! One more thing: It really should be possible to close menus by simply clicking outside of them. Even Astral Raiders manages to get that right. ;)

I have ascended, but now the shop only shows me things to buy with my gifts. I cannot access the favor shop or karma shop anymore, so I can't do anything anymore, really.
Oh, sorry for the confusion. The is an arrow on the left of your screen which let's you access the first game screen again. I really need to make those more visible :D
Hey there, the "Buy all Button" can be found inside of the Shop, either at the top or bottom, depending on your settings. It can be used in both the Cat and the Item/Upgrade tabs. I hope this helps :)

the orc achievement doesn't have good direction, first you have to translate the hidden binary, then you have to capitalize the first "n" and the last "o"
Hey there, I've tried the binary with multiple different translators and got the same result every time (correct capitalization of certain letters). And yes, the code is case sensitive :3

Reached devotion! Also read rule 63 aloud and turned into a trout, but I'm better now!
Still havn't found the orc, so I gave up for now :/
Congrats on having devoted yourself to Cat God! Thankfully the trout's curse subsides after some time :3 About the Orc: some people have found him, maybe ask around in the Discord :)

The cost for level 2 blueprints says "54 homes built", but Buy is grayed out even though I have 140. What does "requires five times the cost" mean? Do I really need 270 homes built? But then why even say 54, why not just say 270?
Hey there, the reason for that is buying Blueprints before you have at least 5 times the cost of Homes will lead to your current population limit being decreased. To counteract that, I've built in the condition to have at least 5 times the cost at the ready. In the end, only the amount it costs will be subtracted from your current Homes. I hope this helps :)

I like the first part of the game, but after getting disciples, the first part of the game becomes useless.
Karma, fAvors, gifTs and BlessingS (KATS) don't impact disciples/devoted. There is no reason to try and get higher KATS as you already bought everything, except maybe for some achievement, but once again those achievement don't impact the disciple/devoted part of the game.
Even buying the KATS upgrades in the devoted part of the game seems like a waste.
Am I missing something that is even later in the game?
Hey there, the higher your Karma per second is, the faster your Training Center works, meaning you'll get Disciples faster. As for Blessings, they serve no purpose after getting every Upgrade you can buy with them, but will in a future update. I hope this helps :)

i've checked everywhere,the main menu,the tutorial (says that there are secrets in settings), the book of ancestors (has mysterious spacing at some parts), the channel log (mentions change in the loading screen and an easter egg that can "only be heard"), achievements, ranks, the buy cat screen and each confirm buy cat screen, the cat upgrade screen and all 9 levels of all 4 upgrades for all 8 cats including the 4 levels for the scepter, all 10 story screens, all 15 stats screens, the prestige screen and all confirm devotion/acend/get blessings/gain favor popups, the main gameplay screen and its two variations, the buy building screen and each individual confirm buy building screen, all 9 levels of all 5 gift upgrades including the 4 levels to get the scepter crown throne,all 9 levels of all 6? blessing upgrades, all the screens in the settings menu, all the upgrades i have unlocked in devo upgrades, and all 12 in the rpg, how big it that you need to click to unlock the achievement?

I have been looking everywhere in all the 178 menus for the 'curiosity killed the cat' achievement. Finally the last place i looked in was the Hard Reset button, witch would kind of fit into the 'kill the cat' motif. That didnt get me the achievement but i noticed a bug. After the reset one of the ranks remained. It was the one i was using before, 'Construction 'Connossieur'. I guess it should be removed with all the others.
Hey there, thanks for pointing this out, I'll look into it :) And don't give up, it's not just about opening menus, but finding the right spot and then click it
Hey there, you mean turning off getting levels through Buildings? This is not an option, though it would make sense to implement this. Other than that you can receive a Blessing once you have 27 total Gifts and have ascended at least 3 times. "Receiving Blessings" is the third prestige layer, meaning everything that comes before that will be reset, so your Training Hall won't generate any more levels :D I hope this helps
