Since I kinda finished my novel for NaNoWriMo a bit early (read, the 13th of November) and without reaching my self-imposed target of 75k words (my original NaNo-novel and sequel only counted up to about 33k words total) I went through my old notes and found an idea for an interactive tale titled ‘Project Hairball’. It sounded nice, so I made it my plan C, and now we’re here. Since this year’s NaNoWriMo is still in progress and I really should be writing I’ll keep it short.
Project Hairball is a story about a cat working as an agent for the FSS (Feline Secret Services), which really is a lot more like human action movies than the real deal. In short, the rats are trying
to take over the world (again), and it’s up to the FSS to stop them.
Warning: I wouldn’t recommend this game to kids below the age of 12, specifically case 3. It’s got some nasty stuff in it.
Progress:
18 November 2015
First post. The playtest is about 14k words and contains the first two missions.
23 November 2015
Playtest updated with case 3. The whole thing is now close to 25k words.
01 November 2016
Another year, another NaNoWriMo. I’ll be resuming this project for the competition. There’s still a crippling shortage of cat-themed WiP’s, after all
Since English isn’t my native language things like that tend do elude me (and google translate didn’t make it ring a bell either), so could you care to explain what you mean by that?
I’ve played as a dragon, as a superhero, a being from a mirrored world, a wizard, a mobster, an angelic humanoid and a zombie survivalist… BUT OH LORDY I WOULD LOVE TO PLAY AS A SECRET SERVICE FELINE. Its gonna be purr-fect (I’m not sorry)
Playtest updated with the 3rd mission. The whole thing is close to 25k words now.
Note to self: Add a warning that the cats in this game aren’t the cute and cuddly creatures we all know and love.

You know what, scratch that. They’re exactly like the cute and cuddly animals we all know and love. (But seriously, I wouldn’t recommend this game to kids below the age of 12, specifically case 3. It’s got some nasty stuff in it.)
No clue (I’m guessing at least two more intermissions and two more rounds of missions before the grande finale. (After I finish the round of missions I’m writing at the moment.)) So… I’m probably not even halfway there yet
