Game concept

a tamagochi type game for the pets.

Objective

to make the pets more interactive.

Gameplay

you feed, nuture, and clean up after your pets. they have needs based on pet type and pet size. for example a kitten will need more attention than a lion would, however, the lion would need more food and clean up duty, than the kitten would. each pet would grow up based upon the type of pet selected (kitten - large cat - lion, puppy - large dog - wolf, rat - hippo? - elephant). feeding the pet would be much like restocking a ship, where it's just a passive activity, and the same with cleaning up after the pet. these activities would take place at the user's home. as for nuturing the pet that would simply be taking it places with you. each of these activites along with a status menu of the pet could be selected from the radial menu.

Scoring

at a certain stage the pet would grow up. so the pet would evolve into something else. this would only occur if the owner of the pet has been taking good care of the pet. if the owner fails to take care of the pet it would die.

Variability

the pets would still be available for purchase. however certain colors of the pets would not be available for purchase but only if you raised them. furthermore, a fourth stage of pet growth would be available only to those that raised their pets, like a saber tooth cat, a warewolf, and a mammoth.

End criteria

none, other than status among peers

easy

Crafting type

Notes
