The creators of cat-mech game Nyan Heroes want to save real cats

Cats are having their game renaissance. While felines have been part of the meduim for years, last year’s Stray proved they can carry games as heroes. Now a developer called Rude Robots wants to bring cat power to the web3 space with a free-to-play third-person shooter called Nyan Heroes. In addition to wanting to provide an appealing game that will change the perception of blockchain gaming, Rude Robot Studios also wants to use Nyan Heroes to help save real cats.

GamesBeat spoke with Rude Robot CEO Max Fu about Nyan Heroes, its blockchain base and how it’ll benefit kitties. Fu co-founded Singapore-based studio Rude Robot in 2021 with YouTuber Wendy “Wengie” Huang. The developers plan to launch the alpha sometime early this year on PCs, expanding onto other devices later.
