Went Fall event? :3
I have seen this same cat named oVelpzz for the past few days,and they have been wearing the same skin everytime,it's an epic item and a rare item,so oVelpzz,if you are reading this then shout out to you
btw my name on steam is Wertcram57 if you see this
Hii
hi!
Hiiii
guys im gonna change my pfps
What's the sound setting? I can't find it anywhere
The sound setting isnt real because the game has no sound
ok
finally hit 300,000 lets go
is there a max cap of 4 on the duplicate items in bongo cat? I've been collecting the items for some time now but I only seem to be getting 4 on each item
no cap of 4 
Are you also stacking up for new items ?
Yeah I got my first 5 stack like now, It just felt weird having 8+ items at 4 but none was above
I am waiting for the Halloween update and then I start merging my items
Hopefully getting loads of cute new hats

is halloween event confirmed?

I just expect it, since we had summer update and so on

THAT IS SO CUTE
Does anyone want a watermelon skin ?
And a hat. I want to get the trade an item achievement for steam pls
uhhh i think you can't trade bongo items
When next update? Halloween?
Showed me this
noone knows, we'll see
(but i also hope so)
Youre giving it for free? or you want items in return?
Free tbh i dont use them
msg me on discord, we could try trading it
Oh you can! you can also sell them on steam, been selling my dupes they only give like 1 cent per thing but 1 better then none!
is there a way to allways be in the same Lobby after restart etc? or autojoin
woah whats that
Most likely
I would like it if it is not given away yet
That would be a pog feature
Oh I thought trading got disabled at some point, sorry!
Srry i already traded it 🥲
Thank you anyways
genuinely kinda confused, are there no tippy tap noises in this game?
no bongo cat doesn't have any sound effects 🙂
yo
Mango mango mango
Hey guys, do we get loots from other peoples? I have decorations I don't recall getting
Which decorations?
Random "common grade" ones
like this one for example
So i'm starting to get confused because it's been a few times now, so either I just don't pay attention or it's cool? 
there is a bug/feature where it sometimes clicks the chest for you automotically xD
yo im having an issue with my bongo cat multiplayer
my friends keep inviting me to their lobby but it wont let me join
not gonna dox my friends
but it comes up like that instead of the "play now" option
ive restarted my pc and steam adn bongo cat
if this is the wrong channel for this my bad
ask them for the lobby code
you need play only in bongo cat
in steam
and none more, at the time of throwing the invitation
thank you
Gelo
I‘m sorry, but how can I make my mouth click through the bongo cat? I can't find a way to do it
idk if u can
Alright
does anyone know how to get different colored cattss
random drop or buy em from market place
oo ok ;D ty!
I have a quick question: Can I use a screenshot of bongo cat and make a PNG animation out of it? (I also drew custom elements in photoshop, example a mouth)
Here is an example of what I drew on top of it
(closed the eyes and drew the mouth)
I got a blue item from a chest last night for the very first time
I legit screamed in shock
😂
What does 'Danger zone' mean
it hides the "danger zone"
you probably never want to click these so you can hide it 
How can I get the items in these three lists?
Is there planned support for macos?
mainly lucky chest drops, buying or uptrade
CfdKd8qd2B I NEED PLAYERS
Thanks
oh okay. would it be good idea if yall update that info ?
Ok
CAn everyone Join CfdKcyDGdP... We are having a party
so many kittos keepin me company in the hospital the past few days
thx @plucky belfry for for so diligently pluggin the code in #lobby-codes
@cobalt irisdidnt wanna clog code chat, i got noodles on my head 
imma relaunch game and switch my wifi, see if that fixes my no tappy issue. i can see when outfists change just fine, and when people join or leave, but i cant see if anyone is getting chests or meowing or tappin
someone wants to trade
No bady from Poland?
I hope you guys like my music(bongo cat group)
PEOPLE
HELLO
IS THERE A BONGO DEV HERE
I NEED TO TALK TO THEM
ITS VERY IMPOTANT
i really like the tophats so i wanted to colect them all
ive gotten 3 so far
and then i realized
THERES ONLY 3 TOPHATS IN THIS ENTIRE GAME
THIS IS AN OUTRAGE
you need more tophats
if you want ill make a 3-5 paragraph essay on why you should add mre tophats
and if you HATE making tophats ill design them for you and you can use those
or add a steam workshop to bongo so i can mod some in
CUZ WE NEED MORE TOPHATS

what bibi said
This was yesterday, the cat just switched back to the fit there now
Not to rain on your very passionate top hat parade, but how much variation can there really be? There's also top hat adjacent items too. But my drops are so precious to me, I almost never get new items. If I started to get more top hats, when there's already so many, instead of a unique item. I would cry
well make them cool, like a porcelan hat or a candy cord themed hat
not just stripe differences
@potent adder do u have ehtier the porcealin skin or the teapot hat
if so can u put it on? i need a refrence and i dont own etheir
u can also just exchange too
Has anyone created a lobby?
that takes 10, whereas a drop takes 1. I'm just saying there's probably a load of other requests for unique items.
There's a thread "lobby-codes" that are full of them 🙂
CfdKdEYTdE
yeah but like, porcelain hat.
well tophat
Dark Ember thank you
I got a cheat code for getting more points in bongs
I just got this red cat skinn while I was rocking the watermelon
with a bunny peaking out
well do taps really matter that much after youve gotten all achevments?
It includes a RedGear controller or any other controller with a Turbo feature and
u place somthign on top of a button and let it rip
ooooo
we NEED kitten mittens
YASSSS
I like to keep my lobby lined up liike thiss
I don’t think they get the joke 😭
having a screen filled with tapping cats while I do my chem homework is the reason im going into computer engineering
gotta make those modern marvels like these
me cat looks SO CUTE
hell yeahhhhhhhhh
Is there a way to make them spawn in specific places rather than having to organize them every time someone leaves and someone new joins?
you have to drag them manually for now, no
devs are aware since its a highly requested feature so it might be added soon
ah okay ! awesome :D
Yeah that would be nice
I would let them spwan on my second monitor instead of the middle of my main screen
I wonder how they plan on implementing it
Would also love a chat function, but then again this might be hard to moderate
Or minigames while you are in a lobby with people
hi
YASSSSS
server tag would be cooler if it was BAP instead of MEOW imo
No thanks - Let’s stick with MEOW — it’s our vibe. Now scamper away, before every girl on the server ambushes you! 😸✨
got already some death threats in my DMs 
/j
you can't advertise other discord groups on here
damn
2 millions clicks
having a dedicated chat for bongo related servers would be cool
Note to anyone not looking in the bugs and suggestion channel. We have a mini cat-ularity contest going on in there and are looking for more entries. 🤭 spread the word and get your best creations in there. 😉
Do you also experience immense lags when playing hades 2 with mouse and keyboard if bongocat is active?
Every keystroke dramatically lowers the FPS making hades 2 unplayable while bongocat is running. FPS drop from 160 to 70 fps on repeated keystrokes
I also notices that dragging any window while bongocat is active, will briefly result in lag spikes
At the beginning of moving a window, it will stutter and behave like the screen is set to 60 fps
not for me, i just played, maybe it has something to do with ur settings for bongo
maybe try these settings
Seems to be an issue with gsync
What are lobby for??
Multiplayer
You can join others and watch them type
ok, thnks
ANyone know how to get scale working on other cats?
Enable "Scale all cats", then toggle the "Scale" option
that works thanks
hi i was wondering if there is gonna be in game gifting or is that something steam handles? I lost my clown kitty and been trying to roll a new one for forever 
my cat is cute
Do we get better rewards when we are in lobbys?
i had an idea for something, what if we could set specific spawn positions for bongo cats, one for you, and a different spawn for multi cats so you dont have to manually move them into place
That would be so awesome
I recommend making a post in the #1337544835292467250 channel
can we exchange our items ?
hello
hello
Hello is it normal that it shows i have 108k taps on the menu and only 74k on the overlay?
Yes because it takes 1000 taps per chest
The menu is your all time taps
The overlay is your current taps to use to get chests
oh ok i didn't know it thanks a lot ♥
No problem :3
bongo cato
Bread.
help
my bongo cat has a ! on the menu button and when i press it it says that I can do the exchange but the most dupes I have of a item is 5 and the ! is starting to anoy me and idk what to do
that's a very nice decent score bro
hi! do you know if there's any project of making Bongo Cat compatible with mac ? I'd love to have it on my work computer !
dev confirmed that it's planned 

nooo that was an emotional rollercoaster ;w;
no worries! 
@frail adder is the FAQ updated? or is it actually planned
the FAQ is outdated 😄 but lars created it back then so i can't edit it 😄
oh damn nice, mac bongo incoming
needs some time, but have some cool updates coming 🙂


yea i have a gaming laptop but wanna go back to mac, so wud be nice to have bongo come along
just wondering who the highest clicks lol
yea idk not rllly interesting imo, since they're mostly botters/auto clickers
auto clickers exist?
just decided not to look at the bongo clicks at this point, since numbers dnt rlly mean much
i guess if ur a point maxxi
saw some guy with 10m clicks
10m holy that immposible to get by any means
ye its just nice having a bongo tap with u, i hide the counter tbh, wish i cud hide it permanently
yea i guess, most of the items are cheap to buy anyway, i shud probably hide the gift box too lolol
abit annoying seeing it pop up and having to click it manually every 30min
dnt think ive gotten an epic/legendary after like 1k hours
or 4m+ clicks
i mean i wish i could get the gift box lesser mins
and they cost like £0.1 for an epic item
does yellow means rare or?
then again its under the assumption that im diligently clicking boxes every 30mins which i dnt
not gonna lie seeing another cute cat is adorable
purple
legendary items are pretty cheap too
darm
like £0.5 to £1 not sure wot dat is in ur currency but yea its kinda cheap i guess
SGP
singapore? @glossy ruin
oh hes*
nice to meet you too!
click this button itll bring you to the steam store
i think an item is around 20c SGD now
20-30
im a dood yes
ur like the 3rd INFJ guy ive met

ahh rough, just wait it out!
takes a while to trade up to one!
buying is no fun
haha with time
yea after u get enough items, ull get to a point where the gift box is more annoying then good xD
i meant bongo cat
eh true
@glossy ruin do u play maxtune IRL ?
nope
ah ic alright then
Can you give me the pumpkin pls
omg lol ur the legend that made this post, i thought i recognised ur name somewhere
i had it wrapped in a nice bongo wallpaper to show my X, i feel like this is wat the essence of wat bongo cat is rlly about
is there a way to get rid of some of the accessories that i dont like instead of waiting to get 10 and exchanging?
Awwww that is too sweet haha. 😭

We have already had 12 submissions for our cat-ularity contest.
Find it in #1337544835292467250 come share your best outdit match 😉
infj?
its a personality type, can find urs here if ur curious 😮 https://www.16personalities.com/free-personality-test
myers briggs test
ISFP-T
@amber tulip same as u
feels about right, im usually neutral about stuff
ow
now i am also taking that test why
learn more about urself i guess
introvert gang
thats why i did it, also nice to kno wot others are too
If you’re interested in this topic, send me a DM and I’ll give you an invite to a server fully dedicated to personality types and other psychology-related subjects. There you can connect with people who share your interests and make new friends. Despite being an introvert myself, I found something there that really resonates with me)))
eh no thx
was just curious about what infj was
i think the test gave me a headache, i just woke up and my screen is usually color consistent of dark colors like purple
I took one of those tests a looooooooooooooong time ago and got INFP and then I took it again a whole decade later and got INFP again and everything I read about it sounded completely accurate for me but I also can relate a lot with INFJ as well.
Also, on youtube I follow this funny youtuber named James Frank, he makes really funny comedy videos about the personality types. 
That sounds interesting to me, you can send me a DM/invite, I can check it out. 
Dx dude i keep getting steam error when i click my chest, did a restart, updat and restart, verified fiels, even restarted steam sadge no cat moment
does the lobby code expired or something if i leave
as long as a person stays in the lobby, the lobby stays open
Yeah, in the settings, there's a "Danger Zone" settings that gives the option to permanently delete items (or the option to delete your ENTIRE collection) so you have to be very careful (that's why it's hidden and you have to click on it to show the delete options).
I've never tried it and never will LOL so I can't help with that but the option does exist.
I have idea
A work in progress, but:
Bongo Bot can:
/codegives you a random code from a list/add-codeadds the code given into a list/remove-coderemoves the given code from the list/themegives you a random theme for your lobby/add-themeadds a random theme given into a list/jkfor a random joke- A variety of easter eggs
/helpdoes this message
Looking for testers
anyone?
me
great
ill gladly help but later
anyone know if bonko cat got a way to see how many tap ppl in the party done? or can you only see you'r owne nomber?
as far as i know, there is no option to see how many clicks someone else has
Google says invite rewards don't have to be a personal friend invite and that lobby code joins count for the reward. Is this not true? Someone joined but I didn't get anything
It’s true, it just sometimes takes a bit
Okay bet, thank you 😎
how do i reset the numbers im new
i can test if you still need it.
I'll send the invite
what does the bot do?
dm people vulgar messages in french
I dont know why it does that, or why it was implemented
huh? lol wut 0.0
it called me a fat baguette
it manages codes and themes
allows the user to change servers, have themes, and easter eggs
soon to be a gambling thing implemented
is it possible to upload my own items and cat colors to the game?
not any of that that bongo onions said
hey everyone, can someone explain what lobbies are and how it all works? Thanks ^_^
it is a type of multiplayer. so you can have other peoples cats on your screen 🙂
oh okay lol so you dont earn any rewards by being in someones lobby?
the first time you get a special outfit.

small bongo army
will there be special drops during the steam autumn sale?
can i join it looks cute
if you haven't already we have a mini cat-ularity contest going on in #1337544835292467250 so come over and sign up. 🙂 we are hoping to get to 32 different outfits before setting up the brackets 🙂
i think дварф got banned
almost to that 1 mil bongo beat, at 877k/mill
i think he got banned
unbanned 🙂
noice
-# (nice)
guys my friend dragonking got banned
since he tried to put a link to our server that is also related to bongo cat
but we did wright that it is not the official server and that if you want the official server you should go here
and its kinda just a project since we got bullied for liking bongo cat
so could you guys please un ban him
🥹
and let him place the link?
Idk why sometimes I enter lobby code but I can’t press the JOIN buttom🫠
hidden spaces at the end of the code maybe?
Is there an Autumn update guys?
any way to lock certain items from being fused?
if you favorite the item, the duplicates won't be selected when you use the auto-fill function (by default)
otherwise no
you can always just use the auto-fill duplicates function, or just not click on those you favorited that has a star icon
nice to know. thank you
also, what's the upper part of my inventory that's filled with random cats when I click it? I don't think it's the favorite
That's like a bookmark that saves your current setup, so you can quick switch between setups
why its like this?
is that the preview window when hovering the icon in task bar?
select BongoCat to focus it, then press F1 to recenter the cat on screen
oh, thanks!
also BongoCat is fullscreen, so the preview is weird no matter what
how do we use bongo cat emoji on bongo cat?
can someone share their serv pls ?
oh so emotes are for multiplayer
Anyone else whose chest give steam errors?
yes same, since the update (already restarted steam). Maybe wait 30min if it does not work after that open a bug report
pls
Alr, will do
why dont have I emoticone
you need to equip those in your inventory
how do i use them after equpping?
you hover over your cat but a little higher and then they should show. You have to click them then
i just had to do the maj sorry
np
My chest got me nothing and the time reset 😔
how to emote?
tyty, they just appeared for me
What? It a bug?
Who can speak Chinese? My English is not very good.😭
nope German
You can use Google or AI to translate to english 🙂

new chest ui
Why can’t I open the treasure chest even though I have more than 3000 times the bonus?
ive never seen a squid (octopus?) riding on a cat shark before.
I just played for a while
there are apparently bugs with latest update, see #1337544835292467250
frankly i havent seen the chest once since update. but i see error logs
现在有BUG,Steam服务器压力大导致领取信息错误,所以宝箱开不了
CfdKYUA4HD
I also haven't received a chest since the update
I can open the treasure chest an unlimited number of times.
Chests are not working anymore since the update today. It does not work for any of my friends in the lobby
Edit: I just saw that announcement from earlier this morning about the steam server. Thank you. 
Maybe devs are forcing us to hoard for new cosmetic items =x
I get the chests now, but can't open them. Just get the 'Steam error' message
Any plans for messaging feature? Real-time messaging with no storage or history required.
Will there be any way to stop myself from getting the emojis in chests? I honestly just wont use them ever ngl, and I want to just keep getting cosmetics :D
i have been getting this since the update, i tried restarting both the game and steam and nothing helps
not even the reinstall helped
same here
well glad i'm not the only one getting hat
cat chest error
also having chest errors
me three
Same
Thought it was my internet for awhile
...or that steam was down
I'll get to the end of the count down then bongo cat will want to shut down
I get to the end of the count down go to open the chest and it times out and resets
Doesn’t take any points just don’t get anything
just managed to open a chest so maybe it is fixed
ye
the connection issues were fixed on their own?
or was there another update (since today's last update)?
wonderign if steam was throttling the app and causing a race condition
if i submit 10 legendary items would i get one reroll of a legendary?
Do emojis also come from boxes like the hat/skin boxes?
i just downloaded this and i love it sm
4 of my 8 emojis are legendary. is this some kind of bug, or just rng?
@spice chasm
These are default items that were added to everyone with this new update. These 4 will always be yours and cannot be sold or traded.
yes))) and they also drop when you exchange 10 items for 1 of higher value
I dont think the emojis should take up gambling space. Its not a feature that would be used by everyone.
@hearty karma wanna talk?
I missed getting a snip of it
But the UI isn't scaling the TMP text properly.
"Duplicat"
- it cut off the e.
aww I was hoping that was intentional, it's cute 🐈
for all we know it is.
i hope its intentional
I do greatly dislike the new chest icon though
this game doesn't have a workshop? feels like a nobrainer to add but maybe the devs just wanna make sure skins are sold which kinda sucks
is there a way to switch to the old icon? 
no we changed that because a lot of people requested that 😂
im curious, what was the request?
duplicat instead of duplicate
i was hoping for details. i dont understand why that'd be preferred, it's not proper english.
OH because of cat reference
haha just dawned on me
in that case, may want to try DupliCat so that looks more intentional.
either way a lot of people will see it as a bug unfortunately
me tooooooo. i want the old ui back 🙁
what was the old chest and whats so bad about the new one?
left is old, right is new
ah ya! i remember now
i can see how the old one fits the UI consistency
both seem fine to me though. may just need time to adjust.
I think now the chest looks much cuter 
Though this “chest” concept… Why a chest? Cats love boxes. Boxes, boxes, boxes 😁

UPD. The devs are removing Emojis from the drop pool, so your chests and exchanges will only contain skins + hats again.
They will split up the drop pool for hats/skins and emojis.
Hiiiyaaa I was just wondering if we’re gonna get a Halloween update thingy for the kitttieesss
Why’s everyone so eager to know this ahead of time? Don’t you enjoy surprises?)))) 😸
Well yes I enjoy surprises but the thought of no Halloween kitties is saddening 😽
that’s a hint from the devs 😉
id like to start earning the emojis again, seems like a fun implementation! 
hope theres a werecat or skull cat skin for spooky month
time to hord the kitties and kitty stuff! 😄
im sad that ive played for 1178 hours and have 1 purple item, now i have to contend with emojis in the boxes when im tryna get other hats. I dont use the multiplayer feature but have to collect these instead of hats 😔 kinda frustrating and dont think they should be in boxes imho
Big love for the option to hide cats <3
Don't know which of the last updates patched the option in. But now I have finally the chance again to actually work while using bongo cat.
That’s actually insane - best dev team hands down 🙏
I haven't found this anywhere else, but is there a way to change your username so whatever shows in the lobby as your name is different?
well its ur steam name so if u change that then it will change
are the emotes working rn? Nothings happening when I hover over my cat
I'm in a multiplayer lobby
working for me. you have them equipped?
ahh, that was it, thankss
If you are in multiplayer lobbies now, do you get 2 chests every 30 minutes, emoji & hats/skins, or just emoji chests?
Why is it my bongo cat is invisible on my screen while on my PC user and my steam, but then when I go on my sons PC user (same PC just changing users) and sign into my steam my bongo cat is visible...? help... I've tried everything... Even when I'm on my user I can join a party with my husband and he can see my cat but i cant...
start and hit F1
i tried that...
focus the window and then do it, you sure it doesn't reset its position?
I'm positive.. I can see my husband's cat but not mine.
But yet he can see mine on his screen 🥲
the positions are not synced between multiplayer users. they are local to each user. i do wonder how people get the position off screen though.
I just don't get what happened. It was on my screen, I changed over to my son's because I was just setting something up for him and when I came back to my user my car was gone when I started up
sent you a dm
ah trying to replicate things. i somehow broke mine too. i pressed screenshot macro and then my cat become non-interactable with pointer. i then pressed F5 and F1 and nothing happened. no debug logs either
had to restart app
seems a bit related though, even while focusing the app the hotkeys no longer seemed to work, id have to debug it though
spooky month!!
i need some halloween skins!
sounds like gaming mode 😄 which you can deactivate with F4
ah nice call. i figured it was gaming mode but i misremembered and thought it was F5
however it was F12 that triggered the issue, although now i cant replicate it again
there we go, triggered it again with F12
it appears F12 deactivates gameobjects, but the process fails mid-function at times, where it doesnt reactivate the gameobjects. so all input (pointer and keyboard) no longer get recieived. only input that works is F3 which seems to be a different game object
hello, i have question, the bongo cat emotes are so cute, can i have it?
no, single player, ill send you details 🙂
hello, did you equip the emojis?
ah
its so cute the emotes here
I'm in a multiplayer lobby but how do I get new emotes??
Hey there, I'm in a multiplayer lobby and my username isn't displaying how I want it to. It's displaying under the name I had when originally joined Steam. Though, earlier today, I had went to my Steam profile's settings and changed both my profile name & real name to be the name I want it to display, but it's still displaying the old name.
im just a user and havent tested this, i believe it does the following:
- nickname first (if your friends have set a nickname for you)
- if no nickname, it should get your "profile name".
I could be wrong though.
Check if your friend(s) are using a nickname for you.
Also if you changed it during session you have to rejoin the lobby (the others may even need to restart app if that doesnt work)
apparently through the chests, frankly i havent seen any emojis from the chests so i cant confirm
i also somehow got 3~ more emojis without seeing them in chests so not sure what that was from
thanks for the advice! however I have done the "update & restart" and that didn't seem to change anything. also they're not people I've done anything with on Steam prior to this and I doubt they would've set my username manually. but still, thank you very much taking your time to try and help me! 
hmmm. what name did you change via steam and when did you change it?
is it using old "profile name"?
also how are you seeing your name on their screens? did they show a screenshot?
also when you open your profile on steam, does it show the new or old name?
originally, it was detectivewolfieofficial, but I changed it to WolfieBoi524. I had made that change about 5 hours ago.
Earlier today, I had seen it on one of their streams. But after I had done the "update & restart", I had just asked and two people said it's still detectivewolfieofficial
When I open Steam, it displays the updated name
it could be a caching or delayed update. maybe it takes up to 24 hours to update.
if youd like me to confirm i can join your lobby or you join mine.
unfortunately, I'm not able to right now ^^"
if possible, I could join your lobby later 🙂
no problem
thanks! 😄
first click the bars next to your bongo cat
then press the icon in the top raw with the two cats
enter the lobby bar and then on join
Alternativ you can create one aswell and send the lobby code in the "lobby-codes" channel
alr thank you
I'm free now! If you're available, I can join your lobby for a minute!
sure thing. ill DM the id
okay, thanks!
Does anyone know what is this for
Emote for when you are in a multiplayer lobby
Just hover over ur bongos head and select one
oh it's for multiplayer mode! Thanks!!
when im colorblind and think this is a snail 😭
you made me think i switched channels and was confused by your username color
Ohhh
that's super helpful lol
I was confused and kept clicking on it
haha, people constantly proving that there needs to be some onboarding, i couldnt even figure it out. trying to hover over the cat but not "above" the cat. i had to look at the dev log to find a clue on how it works
It’s actually the rare and elusive cat-snail, surviving only in the deepest depths of the internet
So I don't really know much about this game (despite how much I have used it), is it one dev, or a team of them? Is the information about how the game was written semi-public? I kinda am interested in learning how the team took this single-player program and made it multi-player, if that information is willing to be shared, does anyone know anything?
i can help with that as a software/game engineer myself. i get the vibe that it was 1 person that did the coding and paid for art, but i cant say.
the engine he used was Unity. the language is C#. the networking is Steamworks.
Unity is made for games, but you can do app related stuff too, such as click through and transparent background. also he used some windows specific API too (which is a bit more technical)
all this is possible with searching internet and most definitely using AI
if you'd like, i can help with getting started. i recommend Godot over Unity as it has more potential, open source and beginner friendly, but Unity is far more advanced atm and has a way bigger community
i used Unity for years and switched over to Godot, no desire to switch back
also a disclaimer:
dont do multiplayer as a first project. its a recipe for disaster.
start small, start simple, keep a small scope.
you can find fellow people learning game dev in twitch too, i think its a great way to make connections and keep the passion going if you struggle with learning code
@gaunt rampart Ah that makes sense! Honestly I was just curious about the language, and maybe the process of setting up the server! I am a CS student who really likes network programming! I actually don't have any desire to make a game rn (maybe for fun in the future), but I was curious how the implementation of the server was kind of done! I will have to look into Steamworks to see how it does things, so that is useful to know, thank you!!!
i havent used Steamworks myself, so i can only give general theory:
- No dedicated servers
- Peer 2 Peer connection and matchmaking (each client talks to every other client instead of directly to a game server)
- Steam handles the inventory/user database
So in general its a lot cheaper, i assume just paying for the license to publish on steam. I could be wrong about some things.
You can find some details here: https://steamworks.github.io/ (or youtube)
Ah, honestly that makes a lot of sense! What the game needs to do would absolutely be fine on just p2p, and not having to deal with a dedicated server would reduce that complexity a lot lolol, and ofc the cost.
Also I love how Steam steps in for stuff like managing the database? They also helped out with errors on the recent update, which is cool to see! Seems like the developer has been smart and efficient with their stuff, I'm really impressed at how swiftly they have been doing this!
it can technically also be possible to do with "player hosted servers" which requires no cash and players can run the servers (like terraria)
problem is that if you want a database, matchmaking or firewall bypassing it will take more work and possibly cash.
this type of game could be purely a player hosted server without a database and without matchmaking, but players would need to give their IP to other players, and the equipment would be entirely locally (just like terraria), and could run into security and connection issues
definitely downsides, using steamwork solved a lot of issues
if im not mistaken. the cool thing is you just spend $100 one time fee per app, and you get to publish on steam and have access to steamworks. thats a great deal if you can make back that $100
i figured that there could be player servers like that, but i think for the amount of demand this game has, it doesn't need to happen that way, especially considering what you said. Compared to terraria, where there are countless servers and players, using steamworks seems like a smart idea.
Plus, with p2p networking, i believe it's a lot easier to have scalability, where the network can easily handle the load without additional server resources as a main server would need. Useful for the massive lobbies everyone is making (which is really cool to see)!
I was thinking I should buy smth from their steam store as a thank you, because this game has made the long hours i spend studying at my computer a lot more bearable haha. I hope they have made more than that 100 back!
aww thats nice of you 🙂 i agree on supporting development
glad you are enjoying it
heck yeah! it's awesome what the dev has made here!! i love supporting small devs and following the journey of awesome games like this! my buddy was flabbergasted when i told him i would be the first person to buy his game, and he was like "i would give you it for free tho?" and im like nahhhh
I love seeing that i spent 63 hours playing bongo cat in a week, and knowing that was 63 hours of hw haha. I probably wouldn't be doing as much hw without that motivator of knowing i'll get another hat if i do more studying
that is great! i just explained how the app may be productive for some people. keep up the good work 😄
so regarding networking:
we only use the steam networking layer, this is a simple "P2P" style system
but it routes everything through the steam servers, so we don't have to care about firewalls
our costs are 0 steam probably has some costs 😂
great deal indeed, including every service steamworks already offers. only downside for me is it requires steam, but that's not really a concern now adays
yes this is the only issue with it 😄
question, what the flip do these do?
Equip this and click to express your current mood
black cat with shades
but like, how does it work tho
What, you can only get emoji from chests, and not from crafting?
after update
Will legendary emojis be very rare?
.
half way done with them 
robot like cheeeeeeeeese
cheeeeeeeeese
cheeeeeeeeeese
McDonalds cheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeese
cheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeese
cheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeese
i am ashamed that all i can think of is this sad excuse for cheese:
lol
I love that cheese
hehe, im exaggerating sorry. i do like the mac n cheese though haha
you should put this in the cat-ularity contest it's the ultimate void
Just pasta and cheese doesn't mix
ah gotcha. what kind of pasta do you like?
although if I am sad it's just normal tube
nooo sad.
what is normal tube? like plain noodles?
im pretty picky eater so plain with butter works wonders haha
hiii, does anyone know when the event is gonna start?
sees pasta talk
dosent see when to use what pasta for what sauce, only "i like this once"
sweats in not trying to post a damn astrology chart of pasta and sauce stuff 
"soon" no date given
pls do
spookytober event
oooh
nice!
basiclly every pasta has a purpose and honestly i dont blame that people dont know it cuz who gonna tell it? (aside honestly take what pasta you want and cook with it :3 if i cook only for me and my fiancée i take what ever i feel like... if i cook for someone else chart above is a rule of thumb for me)
Things that need to be teached everywhere in school... How to basic cook :3 or stuff like ... how to tax aviation ...
things actually tought in school, cursive and geometry.
heck as far as i went with math in school, i rarely need it for programming (both software and game dev)
i also havent wrote on a paper in years, outside of rarely doing a signature
wish school taught me how to survive being an adult
today its more like: get job > be good at job > get fired cuz EU put on sanctions against russia and you company cant ship to russia xD
how i lost my last job 2 months ago kekw
// offically i lost it like 3 days ago but i was put on forced holiday (cuz i had all my damn holiday days unused xD
1 month on payed holidays kekw
happens, i wasnt the only one in the company 
iam used to work half a year here and one year there... seeing many things, not borring routine 😄
but still annoying if a company comes with that like "yesterday" ago around the corner...
how very annoying
i can say i was lucky cuz i had the damn holidays still on my bank so they forced to pay me with my last paycheck or they put me on payed holiday xD
but hey at the end i can put one of many more skills on my resume xD
i collect work titels and skills like pokemon! 
nice!
for example xD
- IHK certifed: IT system electronics engineer (this gives me the perk of calling myself a IT-Specialist and Electronics-Specialist)
-Security guard
-Receptionist
-Factory worker (for printed circuit boards (siemens))
-Factory worker (interference suppression of machines and systems)
-German, English
list goes on and on xD
iam a damn toolbox of human xD


The only thing that I would say that I am good at is Science or Computers
honestly as mutch i love my skills sets i learned while being at the working field ... would trade it asap, with a not crappy school past and some medical field job xD
but to become something in the medical field is to mutch of school and hussel...
ah
plus i know how retarded i can be with money, if i gain to mutch money xD
like .... "TIME TO BUY A FUCKING NEW RIG WITH A 3060TI LELELEL JUST TO PLAY CS2, SUPER ANIMAL ROYAL AND ONTHER LOW SPEC GAMES"

lol
honestly high spec games be like : "here have a unfished code junk, that looks nice but works like a half broken gear made of stone"
you should get the god pack for Bongo
soon, soon! 😄
if my paycheck comes i may buy it😄
yes
When will the new seasonal things come? Trying to save up my duplicats but I have loads atm😂🤌🏼
i think soon, marcel said that they were already pretty close to finish it I think
plan is next week if the emoji 2,0 update works
oh huiii my 2nd rare drop

how the heck are people doing this
If you hover over your cat, and have emotes equipped from the menu, it will give you options of equipped emotes that the rest of your lobby can see
sick
