Hello new friends!

Welcome to our first Developer Diary!

We’ve extremely pleased to announce our debut game, Heartwood Village — It’s an incredibly cute narrative adventure built for two players to enjoy together.

Heartwood Village is a delightful, bite-size game about friendship where you can relax and be silly in a world together, whilst meeting an adorable cast of characters and unravelling a heartfelt narrative.

Panda and Cat (two guardians-in-training) are sent to complete the very important task of helping the villagers prepare for the annual Heart-of-the-Tree festival. Relationships will flourish as you laugh together, play together, and learn to work as a team.

• 🤝 Cooperatively prepare for the upcoming festival on a dynamic split-screen camera

• 🧩 Paint fences, herd lost kittens together, and more, to help prepare for the annual festival

• 💕 Nurture your relationship in a tiny open world where you can relax and be silly together

• 📖 Meet an adorable cast of characters and unravel a heartfelt narrative

• 🎨 Be rewarded with collectibles, and bring your personality with customisation and emotes

Heartwood Village is the perfect place to visit to build friendships, and enjoy special moments together.

We are a collective of new and experienced developers, passionate about developing experiences that can bring joy to players everywhere. We’re connected across borders and bring our unique experiences from across the world, and our game contains art with South-East Asian influences.

Connection and collaboration is at the heart of our studio, and so, it felt only right that our first game should be all about connecting people in a co-op-only experience.

We wanted to create a game you could explore with your friends and family - where everyone is invited to play, no matter your skill level!

Our lovely Discord community[discord.gg] is just as wholesome as our game, and we would love to hear from you and have you join us on this journey.

Until next time,

💕 The Panda Cat Games Team

Let's be friends!
