In the latest patch notes, Double Dagger Studio detailed numerous fixes and improvements made to Little Kitty, Big City. One notable fix is the prevention of opening the emote menu while pawing, as well as the inability to take photos during Little Kitty's outro and other specific periods. The update also includes enhancements to the doggo quest and the mechanics of pushing balls, improving the overall gameplay flow. Players will also find that the collision issues with the Kyoto style house have been resolved, preventing players from clipping into the building and getting trapped. Additionally, the behavior of the kitty being carried has been improved, and the shiny jar near the shrine pond area is now accessible.

The update has also addressed areas where players could previously skip quests involving Crow, ensuring a smoother progression through Little Kitty, Big City achievements. Improvements have also been made to the collision mechanics both inside and outside the convenience store, in the arcade, and with larger, unpickupable small props like robot and gecko toys. The Gecku store has seen fixes to awkward collision issues, and a spot that allowed players to access the train tracks from the back of the construction yard has been closed off to prevent front jumping on it from working.

Additionally, the update ensures that Tanuki is in the correct spot during specific states, prevents the simultaneous opening of the escape menu and Little Kitty, Big City's photo mode when selecting a teleport destination, and removes access to developer commands in release builds. Autosaving has been refined to avoid causing issues, and the camera wall detect collider has been appropriately resized.

Finally, this update also addresses an issue where fans could accidentally push the kitty off the map, while also resolving trip problems caused by bananas. With these fixes, players can anticipate a smoother and more enjoyable experience in Little Kitty, Big City.
