Sadly, no...
But apparently there was a Japanese "popular musical group" called UltraCats.
The gif makes me want to see a kitten fighting something in a model city, though. Even if it's an Ewok.

This is a fantasy / romance game.

Maybe you should go for something similar?

I haven't really played those types of games, so I'm not sure how I'd do it.
But it does give me an idea that I could make it more of an interactive story. That would solve the problem of trying to figure out puzzles.
Thanks for triggering the idea.

99.9% complete? Wow.
I didn't even have a real idea until almost bedtime last night.
I'm not even completely sure what mine is going to be other than having 1-3 characters lost somewhere with snow and ice.

Why do I suddenly want to see cats in mechs?
I'm 99.9% sure this is wrong, but I'm guessing Ultrakitten anyway.

I've come to the conclusion that whatever mess that would come out of what I now have wouldn't be fun for anyone to play.
To save everyone unneeded pain, I'm dropping out now. But Massimo and Twitch will return.

At some point I seem to have made a mess of my game...
Good thing I have 11 hours left. How many npcs, how the game is solved, and which functions remain in the game will be a surprise for everyone... especially me.

My current preference is 640 x 360. It's a decent compromise. But I was using RPG Maker for awhile until coming back to AGS. I like that I'm not limited to lower detail sprites.
Of course I'm also not trying to emulate the look of any specific style and I'm wanting to eventually have graphics that look as good as some of the Daedalic games.

For some reason I find myself wondering if rubber bat nipples exist from the chill of puns.

I also wonder if I should go through with the Vanilla Ice adventure game. It could be fun. But I fear that it would be unleashing a horrible monster constructed out of the corpses of cartoons and other media from the late 80s/early 90s.
Is the world ready for a game inspired by Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2, Kidd Video, Hammerman, Captain Planet, Captain N, the Super Mario Super Show, and Saved By The Bell?

Oh sure it may sound like a good idea now. But I'm sure that the Hammerman cartoon sounded like a good idea to someone.

Must resist the urge to make a Vanilla Ice adventure game...

Yeah... I find my grammar and spelling getting worse.

Also, I think Blondbraid's original "But I can't let you kill more civilians." is just as valid as "But I can't let you kill any more civilians."
The difference in meaning is minimal and would mostly be a personal preference.

in American English, I think it's one word "anymore".

Having spoken American English my entire life, I have to say that's wrong. I had to look up to see that anymore is even used at all. To use anymore would mean changing the sentence to "But I can't let you kill civilians anymore."
Anymore apparently means "any longer or at the present time".
"But I can't let you kill any more civilians." would be correct.

Yay, an extension. Now I can properly test and maybe even have up and down walk cycles. Maybe even make backgrounds that don't look like a toddler made them.

Well, my game's not going as well as I'd like. I hit an art block every time I try to make backgrounds. And I have yet to find a proper balance of handling clues. So I'm probably going to simplify things and maybe even dummy out the clue board. And probably only have 3 endings.
Today I'm going to force myself to make backgrounds and use whatever comes of it. And tomorrow I will tie up any loose ends, with final tests on Thursday.

Huh... Those screen shots don't look at all familiar.
I'm finding I can't remember anything about Krull other than the Cyclops and the glaive thing. Like I know Liam Neeson is in it, but I have no memory of him in it.

ManicMatt is right about hello kitty or such being better. But my suggestion would be to look into cartoons with humans instead.
Daria and The Simpsons are two that I found good reference from. There are a lot of cartoons which could be useful.

The character and backgrounds definitely don't fit together.
The rounded lines on the sheet of the bed don't quite fit. Either they need to be straighter or the bed needs to be rounded.
The sink looks kind of like a stand with a fish bowl on top of it.
And the shower/bathtub probably shouldn't be quite so rounded... And the toilet seems rather large in comparison.

Edit: I'm not sure if I was coherent in my explanations. And after trying to give better lines for the sheet, I kind of think it looks better without them.
Anyway, maybe these edits will help. Just my suggestions. Others probably will have better suggestions.

Didn't get as much done yesterday as hoped. For various reasons I flip flopped across 3 or 4 different templates until ending up back to the one I started with. But I did figure out how to easily make a hybrid interface that combines the simplicity of a BASS system with more options for the characters. Originally I was using objects, which was inefficient at best. Now I'm using a variable with if/else if/else.

Yesterday I was hoping to see Mortal Kombat with rodents from Mandle. Today I'm hoping to see a Secret of Monkey Island type combat, but with finishing moves like Mortal Kombat...

It's pretty good. I have no clue what's in the bottom center, though. Rocks? Spikes? Obelisks?
I'd recommend doing something to make the trees look a little less like bushes. Maybe add a few tree trunks or something. I'd also recommend rounding the tops of some of the mountains a little.
