Hi AppCampus. We're Wooden Plank Studios. A small, but ambitious game company from Utrecht,
the Netherlands. I'm Abel. I'm the creative director. And the guy handling the camera
is Christiaan, he's our lead developer. Together we founded the company. Quick introduction
of ourselves:we met at Microsoft. Christiaan was doing an internship there and I was attending
a lecture. So, we met, and we both wanted to make games. So we ended up making one,
which I'd like to show you. This is it. Cat's Catch just might be one of the most easy to
understand and addictive games ever. Here's how it works. It all revolves around this
bird. You drag him across the screen, while a nasty rogue housecat is trying to catch
him. That's it. It's a simple mechanic, but once you play it, you just can't put it down.
It's that addictive. Cat's Catch features a charming and witty style, if I may say so
myself. But one of the core strenghts of Cat's Catch is it's ability to stay fresh. We'll
update the app monthly, with new playable characters and themes. And these characters
and themes will often be influenced by recent events, pop culture references or holidays.
So in combination with Cat's Catch general friendliness, people will be talking about
the app all the time. Cat's Catch is available on Windows 8, so you can try it out if you
like. However, the Windows 8 version only features the raw basics. With the Windows
Phone version, we're planning to completely rethink the way the game works. We're planning
to include a level mode, achievements, social media sharing, all these changes will also
be translated to the Windows 8 version, so that Cat's Catch becomes an awesome game that's
represented on every Windows device across the world. We're avid Windows users ourselves,
in fact, we're shooting this video with a Nokia Lumia 920! We know and love the platform
and the community, and we really want to help to make the Store grow by making an awesome
casual game that's exclusively available on Windows. You can read all about it in our
design document and application form and we can't wait to start.
