Cat Kingdom Mod - Purrfect Villagers!

Hey guys! I need ideias for lore.

Right now, I’m working on a “kittenling-gypsy-theme” (but I can totally change if I find something more interesting than that). My boyfriend also suggested me to work on a Egyptian theme that I called “Bastet’s Descendants” (yep, the name is a rip-off of Rayya’s children, sorry for be so creative on names!) I liked the idea, mostly because I start imagine THIS as a version of the Stone Bunny God.

Back to the first idea: I even start to think of buildings and one of the gypsy-related things that crossed my mind: Traveling Houses!
Its a very interesting concept of housing, inspired on gypsies, but also on the Tiny House Movement, like this and that videos can show you.


So, I started to sketch on StoneVox, until I realize that I needed to see it ingame, properlly build as a building by the hearthlings, and also see how to built it on the current ingame building system.

Its a little bigger than I expected, but I don’t dislike it. The wheels are HUGE, and like most of you already know, hearthlings are 3 blocks high, so they look like a bunch of 4years old around this thing. Its cute and creepy at the same time.
As always, I want you to tell me what goes on your beautiful and creative minds! <3

Egyptian Theme sounds purr-fect in my opinion! (my first cat-pun EVER - did I do good?)
I guess a lot of inspiration could be taken from what’s already known about Bastet and such lore; this is, if you want to base your Hearthling-cats on real-life lore.

I also think an entire world of litter-box sand would make any cat happy! Maybe?

This theme sounds interesting and I think a lot of people would love to see some carts!
The thing about this - as you point out - is the fact that the wheels would be really big if built via the regular Building Editor.

I get a feeling more similar to a “western cart” than a “gypsy cart” - perhaps Western Cats would be for fitting due to the wheel size alone?
Western would also work with sand-theme, yes? But, I don’t know if it’s “easy” to get a western-y feeling without big hats; the bad thing about big hats would be that they block the cat-ears.

I prefer the second one

Sorry, you mean the second cart (ingame version), or the second theme (Egyptian)?

Take a look at this wagon i made for you @Bella_Chatlotte , maybe it can at least serve as inspiration? :slight_smile:
Download it from the template warehouse and have a look at it ingame.

Now that looks more fitting as a “gypsy cat cart” imo - good job, @Fornjotr

Lets say that “great minds think alike.” :rofl:

Can you even imagine the SMELL???

I do want just that: a well-set lore, with tons of already well-know images to use as references. But at the same time I want something fresh. I’m almost convincing myself that I can merge Egyptian and Gypsy on the same lore. Oh, and cats (very important to do not forget about them)!

NOPE. I still have nightmares with Westworld. Mostly because “everything in this world is magic, except to the magician”. Creepy!!
Nah, my real reason is simply that do a hat that looks good on kittenlings is HARD!

In that case I think you’re on to something good!
Ah, yes, better not forget about the cats I suppose.

I… oh… uhm… how did I miss this?
I’ll just go hide in that corner over there now. For ever!

Sure, if you like

Do you want the entire dressed kitty, or just his clothing?

I dunno, maybe the two options?

Awesome job @Bella_Chatlotte and @Kittyodoom!!!

Hi! Bella’s here! o/
So, I set this document in a way that I’m the only person allowed to make changes there.
This will garantee that I’ll have control of the process, but also protect the file of be changed by someone that is not aware of how things works. BUT! I’m not kicking off people, so please, you can add comments and stuff.
That will help me a lot with the full process, and you will be creditaded in the end for your contribution.

By the way: @BrunoSupremo, @Fornjotr, @Hyrule_Symbol, @YetiChow, please PM me if you really want to be a active member of the mod in any way you can, just like @Kittyodoom and @Hamnisu did. That will help me to know how I’m allowed to go after you about this or not. I have so many questions that I think that you guys can solve. I know that most of you already said that I can do it, but a proper confirmation may be necessary.
