For the uninitiated, Little Kitty, Big City puts you in the tiny paws of a curious black cat trying to find their way home after a daring nap goes wrong. Think Untitled Goose Game meets Stray, but with 90% more head boops and accidental pushes of valuable objects off high ledges.
While official patch notes for specific version numbers like 1.24.10.2 can sometimes be brief, updates released shortly after a game's launch (especially for indie titles on Switch) generally focus on optimizing the player experience. Based on community feedback and the timeline of the game's post-launch support, this update likely addresses the following: Based on datamining the NSP update file and
1. Performance Optimization The Nintendo Switch hardware is older than the target hardware for many modern indie engines. Early versions of 3D games on Switch often suffer from frame rate drops or texture pop-in. Updates in the 1.2x range typically target these performance issues, ensuring the game runs at a stable 30 FPS, particularly when the camera pans quickly across the detailed city environment.
2. Quest and Progression Fixes Little Kitty, Big City features a quest system where players help local animals. In open-world games, it is common for specific triggers to fail (e.g., a character getting stuck in geometry, or a specific item not spawning). This update likely includes fixes for "soft locks"—situations where players could not progress because a quest bugged out. Scene releases are now circulating for Update 1
3. Collision and Physics Tweaks As a game focused on parkour and jumping, precise collision detection is vital. Players reported occasional instances of clipping through walls or falling out of bounds. Updates like 1.24.10.2 are essential for refining the "glue" that holds the game world together, ensuring the kitty doesn't accidentally fall into the void.
