Stray was heavily influenced aesthetically by Kowloon Walled City; Koola and Viv liked the city's organic construction, and found it interesting to approach as artists. [17] They designed some graphical tests of the environments and buildings, [19] and found the city was the "perfect playground for a cat" due to the various paths and views. [17] The development team found gameplay as a cat led to interesting level design opportunities, particularly regarding platforming and puzzle elements. [28] They encountered artistic and technical challenges in balancing interesting game design with the open world, as typically decorative items—such as pipes and air conditioning units—are explorable paths in Stray. [17] [29] The in-game location Antvillage allowed the team to experiment with vertical game design and provide several path options for the player. [30] The team decided to avoid standard platforming challenges early in development, after watching players consistently miss jumps, which they thought "didn't feel cat-like". According to producer Swann Martin-Raget, the movements of a cat feel smoother, which led the team to create its guided movement system while still allowing for freedom of choice. [31] The team found the DualSense controller's sounds and vibrations added to the physicality and interactivity of playing as a cat, [25] and the low camera angle led to deeper observation of the environment than a human protagonist.

Original Article (23rd July, 2022): Stray is quietly one of the hottest games of the year, with a lot of excitement surrounding this futuristic feline adventure. Turns out people like the idea of playing as a cute little cat, and a mysterious cyberpunk dystopia to explore doesn't hurt either. While the digital release arrived on 19th July — and joined PS Plus Extra day one — an alternative option will soon be available.

Making digital more accessible should be the drive, and PS Plus Extra is probably helping with that as it's currently insanely good value if you haven't played some of the games on offer. But more can be done to fully recommend digital as the definitive way to go Kamen, Matt (16 December 2022). "The Best Games Of 2022". Empire. Bauer Media Group.

The gameplay experience was specifically inspired by the founders' cats, Murtaugh and Riggs, [21] and the studio's in-house cats, Oscar and Jun. [20] Murtaugh, a former stray cat found under a car in Montpellier, was the primary inspiration for the protagonist, [35] while Oscar, a furless Sphynx, provided effective reference for animation. [31] The cat animator, Miko, studied several images and videos of cats for research, [20] and worked with cat programmer Rémi Bismuth to find a balance between smooth animations and enjoyable gameplay. [35] Most of the team own cats, providing consistent inspiration and reference material. When the office cats began reacting to and interacting with the in-game cat, the team figured their choices had been successful. [17] While the game is a "love letter" to the team's cats, they intentionally avoided making a simulator game, opting for interesting gameplay over complete realism. [26] The action sequences were added to provide some stress to the player, and the team wanted to build a rhythm to maintain the story's progression. [26] The sequence in which the player can kill the Zurks was seen as revenge by Koola and Viv for a bedbug infestation they underwent. [36] The user interface was kept minimal, with directions integrated in the game world to guide the player. [36] Release [ edit ]
