Blobagotchi: The Virtual Pet
« on: January 05, 2006, 01:55:15 PM »

LATEST VERSION: Version 1.21 Download!

I am getting bored again and I have always wanted to make a virtual pet game.

As you have seen in the screenshot thread, I am starting one called Blobagotchi (like tamagotchi, I dont know what it means though :P), everything is going fine but I am a little short on ideas.

I have the basic things down, such as feeding, cleaning, healing and taking care of your blob, however I that is all I can really think of...
Screenshots Here

====================
I currently have:
Quote

Caring
If you treat your blob badly it will start disliking you, aside from the obvious changes to its happiness, you may find that it will stop eating, I will be adding a petting system as well as special areas that can be used to make your blob feel better and like you more.
I predict this won't be anywhere in Blobagotchi until the late stages of V 2

Foods
Meat - Removes hunger, comes in forms of steak, bacon, etc.
Veges - Removes hunger, comes in forms of leaves, bananas, etc.
Junk - Removes hunger, comes in forms of cakes, etc.
A balance between meat and veges is "playing it safe", alternating feed is a safe way of not affecting your blob, if you focus on just feeding it meat it can become and aggressive creature unless of course you teach it not to, lack of meat however can do the opposite, it can make your blob weak and get tired very quickly.

Accessories
I had this idea from the start, for those of you who have played 'Gunbound' and other games like it, you'll know that you can get accessories to add a unique look to your avatar, the same things apply for blobs.
Hats, Glasses, Bodysuits and household items will all be available and obtainable as your blob goes to different areas, they can be used as defence items, disciplinary items and just plain decoration.
Example
Raincoat: Bodysuit, Blob doesn't get affected by rain.
Night Cap: Hat, Blob's tiredness is reduced a lot slower and more is restored when it sleeps.

Locations
Just different areas around an island, you find different foods and the climate changes but then again, there is nothing too special.
---I really need more ideas for this area.

Minigames
Fishing - Let your blob go fishing for things off a bridge.
Struggle to catch whatever gets hooked just like any other fishing game.
Gardenning - Fertilise a certain area of the screen with your poop.
When wind blows, seeds can sometimes appear on the screen, you must control your blob and either take the seed to the poop, or the poop to the seed, your choice
---I really need more ideas for this area.


Version Predictions[/U]
Version 1 Series: Basic Systems, the V1 series will focus on the blob maintainence section of the game.

Version 2 Series: Small World, the V2 series will focus on a small world,  just areas close to home.

====================
If you think this game has potential would you mind listing a few suggestions to make it cooler, extra options, foods, anything you would want in this game really.

Oh just to say it "Tama" Means Mother on japanese and gutchi is "Machine" or something like that...(Sure about the Tama part)

But if you complete this game i would play it. Good luck.

Lol, I was thinking about making a virtual pet game a while ago, but I never got around to it, and i don't  think I will at all anymore. Anyway, it looks rather interesting, I'll give it a try :)

Hell Yeah! Just recovered all my old rm2k/3 games from my 10 year old, broken laptop hard drive that had been formatted and had a new OS installed on it. Oh, and I did all of this from my phone. WIN

It is niether a fan game or a remake, everything I have done has been my idea, using the tamagotchi as a guide, now that I know what tamagotchi means I guess I can call this a Blob Machine.

Thanks for the comments

The word tamagotchi is probably a play on words.
Tomogotchi means friend, and tama means soul.
So it probably was meant to mean 'Soul Mate'.
Anyway's this looks like a rip-off of A Blob's Tale.

Well, no. No it doesn't mean that.
Okaasan means mother.

I actually know Japanese.

I admit, it isn't all too fun right now, it was only started 12 days ago.

I will be adding purpose to the game soon, but right now I am just getting things to work and people to test.
