Cat model difference between 1st and 2nd trailer

[Shaun]

Anyone else noticed? Looks like they simplified the model and removed all fur for the sake of having it run smoothly on switch or something lol.

I like the cat of the 1st trailer a thousand times better than what they did with the current model in the 2nd trailer, geez.

Yeah I noticed there was a bit of a difference. Thought it was just my eyes at first, but then went back to watch the older one and saw it was a thing.

i think its optimisation, but i personally prefer the 2nd trailer one. lets hope we can have both options. like this isnt some competitive game to have the same look on every platform lol

also noticed the stamina bar when climbing now,

I wouldn't mind both options at all xD But for me the cat looks kinda naked now. I really prefer the 1st trailer one all fluffy.

This is the problem with releasing on these crappy consoles like the Switch. Why must PC and better consoles (like XBSX / PS5) compromise for the sake of a console that runs like a computer stuck in 2009?

I like that the Switch is a much cheaper option for other types of video game lovers and introductory players, and so that ends up being my tradeoff lol

For this game though, it doesn't feel like a huge takeaway; as much as the fur is cute, not every footage in the announcement trailer was furry. There were some clips of a model that shared the same look as the release date trailer. I wonder how much of it was also a design or animating/coding decision.

I had watched the second trailer recently, and didn't remember it looking weird, so after reading this thread, I looked at the first trailer and...that is not at all what the demo looked like. I still have the demo installed and played through it quite a few times including an exhibition for a marathon. The first trailer made me do a double-take because I don't remember it ever looking like that. The content is the same, but the cat is weirdly scraggly. If the game ever did look that way, it most definitely did not 18 months ago when that demo became available.

(If you're wondering where the demo was, it got taken down in the wake of all the Unity BS last year so as not to risk running up the download total.)

I hope there will be the option to choose betwen fur (first trailer) and cell shading (2nd trailer)

It never really worked properly in all situations and had LOTs of issues. It looked fine for the trailer, but we couldn't sort out all of the issues with our shaders for the whole game, so we scrapped it. Sometimes things change in development for various reasons and this is one of them.

Sad you couldn't figure it out in time but understandable. There are various ways to "display" fur but if the shaders don't play along thats another story xD

I openly say that I have no experience in nothing, but wouldn't it be better to remove the trailer with the old fur then? The reason to remove it seems fine, but in my opionion you should not advertise the old version anymore.

[azuarc]

The old version isn't radically different, and it shows off the game a bit more than the release date trailer.

I hadn't noticed but now all I see is that, he's completely naked !

[azuarc]

I have a very sleek black cat, and he looks more like the second trailer. Black cats are kinda raggedy if they're that "fuzzy."

the fact is "the fluffiest the animal is, the more a human want to pet it" :D
the fur in my opinion works very great in first trailer !
make the cat fluffy again !
if they removed it to works on every console & computer, then on PC they should give us the option to have fur or cell shading to let us try...

Double Dagger Studio said nothing about hardware specific issues.
