This is a new type of communication that the SPA rubs shoulders with. The animal protection association has decided to raise awareness about adoption through video games. Taking advantage of the success of Stray, a game in which the player plays a cat, he proposes to replace the main feline of the title with one of the five residents of his shelters.
Personalize the gaming experience
Thus, five cats welcomed by the SPA stand out: Zoya, P’tite Shrimp, Pastelle, Caline and Doc. Each of the animals has been modeled and made available to players in the form of mods. These “mod files” allow you to change certain elements -mainly graphics- of a game to modify its content.
Here, the files created by SPA allow PC owners to change the appearance of the original Stray cat. But since the launch of the game developed by the French studio BlueTwelve, mods have proliferated on the Internet to customize the gaming experience.
Released on July 19, Stray immediately saw its content modified by “moders”, the creators of these “change files”. At first, many gamers asked to integrate their real cat into the title published by Annapurna Interactive.
Subsequently, more humorous changes have emerged. Thus, the main character of the game has been replaced by Garfield, the funny red-haired cat, or Marie des aristocats. In the field of video games, the feline has been transformed into Spyro, the iconic dragon of the PlayStation, in a pig of Minecraft and again – crazier – in CJ, the main character of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.
