In The Coral Cave, you play Mizuka, a little Okinawan girl, who tries to save her island from a terrible danger. Fortunately, a white cat will help you in your quest.
The cat in Mizuka's room - detail of an in-game screenshot
It was difficult to animate the cat because it's very different from human walk.
So we had to make several tests before we get the right feeling.
We'd like her to have a very elegant walk.
We are currently working on the final animation sheets and should be able to test them in-game in the next few days.

That's a great animation! I love the way you do it.
I see a Super Famicom there ;)
Thank you for you kind words!
We are now in the middle of putting the animation into the game.
It's a long process and we can't wait to see the cat walking in the scenes.
Aww soo cute and elegant ! I love that cat. looking forward for the ingame render :)
Merci ! Les premiers tests sont plutôt encourageants malgré une ou deux petites erreurs à corriger.
