I felt a relation to the title Loveship Hypernova ULTIMATE Jam 2018, because of my Flippy(Feral Hippy) youth and feelgood prioritised focus of life now. I began with a cat sprite and automatically thought and felt my cat, family member. Instinctively I populated the game with lots of cats. A key way I relate with my cat is emotio-energetic communication, so I wanted to translate how I communicate with feel with my cat. In hindsight I realise I utilised following my invisible cats to express trusting my cat with emotio-energetic communication.  

As my ideas formed I estimated potential time needed for completion with my capability and realised I needed to simplify, for example I wanted to create a intuition development stimulating maze. This would take a long time, so I made a basic follow/can't go/ can only go path to exit. 

I aimed for the player to relate to the emotional connection with their cat/s and the relationship trust that grows from that relationship. For people not familiar with this form of relationship I wanted the player to experience the concept of trusting something you cannot see though you share with another life form. I utilised invisible cats to lead the way and visible cats to give love/emotional feel-goods.
