Hmm, I don't remember the statue, but then again, I rarely thought to use bind.  (Which made Mithala a bit...challenging, by the way! :P )  I'll have to keep my eyes peeled this time.  I do remember a ghost cat being somewhere in the ruins toward the end of the game.  Is there a non-ghost cat, too?

Also, \o/ for the HL2 gnome.  I still haven't done that quest, but kudos to Valve for putting it in there.

I haven't seen a ghost cat any place ? :o
Oh and the statue is not in any of the ruins areas, think more central than that and going down ;D

I've seen the ghost cat - it gave me a double-take the first time.  :) I think it was part of a cutscene / flashback that would reveal more about Eric's (the Creator's) childhood.

Here's a picture of the cat's head:


BTW, the best part of 1.1.1. is the gfx folder. Having all of Derek's artwork in full size is just ...  :)

 :o  The statue isn't where all those eyeball-wizard-squid things are, is it?  They totally destroyed me a couple times.  Or maybe it was the pink projectile guys in the same area...

Yeah, I love the gfx and script folders.  And looking at the cat's script, there does appear to be cutscene stuff, some of which requires beast form.  I guess I was in beast form at the time, so I didn't think much of it, but that's kinda cool.  ...I just looked for other beast form interactions, and there are several of them!  The canceled interaction with the transport turtles has been mentioned before, but the clams and a big blue guy called "bigmouth" also lets you interact with them when you're in beast form.  Man, there's so much hidden stuff in this game! ;D

Did you see the unreleased 8th form of the Creator? It is creepy as hell - it's a jawed worm with screaming heads as segments and a hooked tail.  :o

 :o  Sounds pretty creepy...I thought I remembered seeing another creator form that wasn't in the game when 1.1.1 first came out, but now I can't find it.  Or was it somewhere in the forums?  (I couldn't find it with a couple quick searches.)

I believe it was the same one - I mentioned it in the forum post in which we praised the gfx folder.  :)

[EDIT]: here

Wait, wait, I know there's a cat in the GFX folder, but would anyone be so kindly to actually show (screen) the cat ingame?

How about a hint of where to look for it Chibi? I can't believe that I have played this game 3 times and never spotted it :o

I think he's bluffing, unless it's seen in the intro... which I will test now... Nope there isn't. I don't recall having it seen anywhere. I think it's just something that has been taken out of the game. I guess only Alec or Derek can answer this, unless someone has a screen shot.

I can't check at the moment, but the script made it look like it was involved with the rock/clay collection section [spoiler]right before the mom&pop boss.  There was also something in there about the creator/Eric getting "walloped", if I remember correctly.[spoiler]

Also, Chibi, where exactly is the unused creator art?  I didn't see anything that looked like it, so I fear Steam "updated" it away to make the download smaller or something.  I really should nag Plimus about a 1.1.1 update for my old copy.  :)

I'm not bluffing - it's in the gfx folder under the heading "cc_cat" - I said the cutscene "would reveal more about Eric's (the Creator's) childhood." Would, if they had kept it in. Pure speculation.

In the Steam version, it'll be in Program Files, Steam, Steamapps, username, Aquaria, then gfx.

Well, apparently I was bluffing.  I checked out the cat's and some other scripts, as well as the map files, and I think the only thing that would have created the cat is commented out.  Methinks I've been reading scripts too much...they're starting to merge with the game. :o

Hmm...I still can't seem to find it.  What are the names of the files?

I don't have the Steam version, but that is where all my other steam games are...

[EDIT]: It might be under "common" instead of "[username]." Gumboy Adventures, World of Goo, and Sam & Max are all there.
