    My kids recently got and love II and want to get III when they finish it. Anything specific about what you’ve got in store for the future?

  2. Aphelion_26

    What’s your favourite sidequest in the series?

  3. AffieL1992

    Cat Quest is an incredible series, but what is a game that you can’t get enough of right meow?

  4. thatquietspam

    My daughter and I have played through all the cat quest games and they are amazing. No question for you. Just kudos. You guys are awesome.

  5. heartywriter

    Fellow SGean here and happy to support local game developers! What’s the inspiration behind this series of games? Do you own any cats IRL?

  6. SignorCornetto

    Are you developing something specifically for switch 2 and using it’s gimmicks (like the joy con mouse) or are you planning to upgrade your old releases to support switch 2 power?

  7. Dry_Investigator36

    What are games that inspire you on your dev journey? Are you doing these games for your kids in the first place or are these nice colorful games are something you personally want to see more on the market?

  8. MolotovMan1263

    Loved all 3 of the games, but CQ3 is pretty rough on Switch 1, any plans to update for Switch 2?

  9. KrispyCremeMcDonalds

    Is there a pawsibility of 4 player co-op in Cat Quest 4? My kid got into Cat Quest with 3, but she would love to play with both Mom and Dad in the future.

  10. Desmond, when are you going to get an official Job title? On a serious note, love the games. 100% the first one and have played both of the others, still working through 3.

    A serious question, how long does it take for y’all to come up with the puns? And do you think you’ll run out in cat quest 4?

  11. Can you tell us meow you decided on a cat fur the purrtagonist?

  12. BayernHerz

    No questions to ask from my end, but wanted to stop by to say, thank you for all your hard work. The series is one of my favorites, and I don’t miss an opportunity to recommend it to anyone looking for something just a little different. Cheers.

  13. Were the cats modeled after your own cats? Will need a picture of them if true.

  14. Bombtails

    Hi there, i loved all three games. They’re plenty of fun. But i was wondering… Have you thought of doing a platformer-style Cat Quest game for a sort of spin-off title?

  15. Excellent-Play8333

    Hi buddy, I liked cat quest 1 and 2, but why is 3 so hard? Will you folks release any new content for it? You guys absolutely brought so much joy to my twin, he still plays 1 all the time!!

  16. What was the process for getting cat quest game cards for sale at retail stores!? It blew my mind walking down the switch 2 aisle and seeing – Mario Party Jamboree, Donkey Kong Bananza, Cat Quest Trilogy.

    Love the first two games by the way, can’t wait to try the third!

  17. NetsirkGames

    No question from me, but I’ve loved your games since I saw Cat Quest 1 at a game store years ago. I thought the art was cute and I love RPGs and cats, so I was sold. I loved it so much and have been eagerly following your games since. Thank you for all the joy, cat puns, and cuteness!

  18. When does the patch for Cat Quest 3 for Nintendo Switch 2 release?

  19. iakobi_varr

    Hey, I love the game so much! I was wondering, at any point during the development of Cat Quest 1, did you plan to port it to the PlayStation Vita?

  20. midasmulligunn

    Will there be a switch 2 enhanced version?

  21. Darragh_McG

    Have you spent so much time and effort coming up with cat puns that you can no longer speak in non-cat pun sentences?

  22. DoggieDMB

    No notes. Purrfectly awesome. Have a great day!

  23. LionHeart-V2

    Looking at the success of the games now, if you could go back in time and change one thing about Cat Quest 1, what would it be, if any?

  24. XLpancake

    Been a fan since the original released on Switch. You kind folks sent me a review code for the first two games at the time.

    Have you considered expanding into other mediums for Cat Quest? As a novelist and writer, I always envisioned the Cat Quest saga as a light novella series.

  25. SpringloadedDev

    I love cat quest, you should make an mmo roar pg…(My cat puns are bad)

  26. SpringloadedDev

    Also….what about a slashy hero cat quest cross over?

  27. sienna_grey

    Super excited to hear there are more games planned!!! My partner got me Cat Quest III “just because it had a cat on the cover” (seriously, that was his only reason), and we had an absolute blast. I loved eight bit castle (and everything else, including all the puns!). I went and bought 1&2 after. Keep up the great work!!

  28. Lumpy-HTF

    Hmm… so from what I’m getting at here… the next game you’re working on is a spin-off of Cat Quest. Whatever it is, I’m looking forward to it!

    Anyways, a question that’s been racking me, ever since you revealed that we would’ve found the Dragonblood in the Infinity Tower and learn his name, I’ve always wondered what the Dragonblood’s name would’ve been? And on the same topic, does the Seeker and Purrivateer have an actual name or not?

    And one more thing, how much would you guys like the idea of a Cat Quest open-world survival sandbox?

  29. My boys (8/5) love CQ 2 and 3 but won’t get to play 1 as they are only allowed to play cooperative. Any chance of a coop mod being made available in the future? Or a CQ 1.5 with coop mode?

    Also, I recommend CQ about once a week it seems to people looking for a fun coop with/for kids.

  30. Is it possible Cat Quest 3 will run at 60fps on Switch 2?

  31. Tiny_Shake768

    Been playing Cat Quest 3 on my switch regularly, and I love it! 

    What was the inspiration behind the games design? The pirate theme goes so well!

  32. FearlessTemperature9

    Hello! On the off chance you read this, will the pawsome trilogy pack receive the switch 2 update? 

  33. federkrebz

    haha this is so wholesome i love it

    i haven’t played cat quest 3 but 1 and 2 were really good 😊
