A Cat In Time - Playable Empress [Phase 2.1]

Description
The Empress herself joins the adventure!

And Phase 2 is Live! The Empress now not only accepts Dyes, but TWO Dyes!

With over one hundred hand-made animations, as well as custom code and functionality, The Empress has been completely transformed into its own unique playable character.

After beating the Finale of Nyakuza Metro, The Empress will appear in the Spaceship, by the Metro level select. Swap to her by talking to them.
Alternatively, you may swap at any time using the mod config menu, or any Player Swap mod.

Feel like Empress is too slow? Check the Config menu for an option to speed her up!

Special Thanks to the following users who made this possible:
Argle Bargle - original Player Swap code base.
Shararamosh - Wrote/optimized a large portion of code. Got Dyes and Online Party sync working.
UnDrew - Overall code help and guidance.
SamiSha - Inventory code help, key capture code.
Joshua21 - Claw and Bazooka Badge icons.
Bon - Provided preview images and bug testing.
Spop - Bug testing.

Note: This is only the beginning of Phase 2. I have more work starting up soon so Empress will likely be paused for the forseeable future.
But Empress would like some new coats! If you're skilled in 3D Models, Textures, or 2D Icons and would like to contribute to the mod, feel free to shoot me a message over Discord.
Join the A Hat in Time Discord's modding channel if you'd like to help!

Some bugs you may encounter that fixes haven't been found for yet:
  • Triggers don't work properly when Empress is walking on stairs. This realistically only occurs in Vanessa's Manor and Arctic Cruise. Crawl or ride your scooter when entering the trigger area to fix this.
  • The first door to Train Rush doesn't detect the Player unless they're crawling. This is a map bug, unfortunately.

The attention to detail on this thing is insane.
This mod is truly incredible. I'm going to go and replay the whole game as Empress, now.

My headcanon makes me believe she simply goes "Fine i will do it myself" and goes off trying to get those Time-pieces:pon: on her own

Purrfect mod! Abilities, camera, collision, everything surprisingly works with the Empress. I recommend it to everyone who likes a different playing experience!
I got motivated to play the whole game with her, and only found like 3 bugs.

I also never expected you replaced every single animation from Hat Kid. Empress looks so lovely! Outstanding animators and programming work!

it feels so weird to look at a person playing as a tall character in a hat in time

I've not touched anything in Nyakuza Metro, and while i've added some pre-existing voice-lines to things like getting hit, most of that stuff should be base-game as far as I am aware, unless someone else has made a mod that adds stuff.

well what about when you go into rush hour in nyakuza metro? and the custom voice lines? sorry for all the questions just curious

No major cutscenes have custom animations yet.
Though there is a custom animation for stitching a new hat.
Crossover fan May 21, 2023 @ 8:58am 
hey so since empress has custom animations does that count for cutscenes? and are some cutscenes modified for it to fit the empress?
