A small update to our sticker system. We redesigned the sticker placement mechanic. TamaPet is slowly coming together. 💜 ✨

Should players color freely, or unlock new colors, patterns, and designs over time? 👀

We are currently working on these characters for our virtual pet game. Once the pet we are raising completes its evolution, it will roam the desktop and collect gold.

We've been designing new goofy little characters and accessories for our virtual pet game. 🍭

We said we'd just get one for inspiration for the virtual pet game we're developing... We ended up getting two. 💙🩷🥚

I'm adding a feature to add stickers to the virtual pet device.
Unlocking stickers through achievements could be more fun. 🌟

Our device gets dirty over time, so you need to give it a quick clean every now and then 🧽👾

Packaging animations are surprisingly hard to get right. 📦😅

Still a lot to polish, but it's getting there! 🐣

Today we’re working on the unboxing system. Before we meet our little desktop pet, the game begins with opening one of these packages. We’re still fine-tuning the details. We want the unboxing experience to feel satisfying and relaxing.👾😶‍🌫️

A small update each time.

You can now rotate the device, press all the buttons, and examine it from every angle.

In the next step, I’ll add more exterior designs, colors, and decorations. ✨🃏 #cozygame #virtualpet #indiedev #gamedev

I'm working on a new device design 🫂

Working on a new design. I think it still looks a bit too aggressive, so I'm trying to make it much cuter. Also thinking about adding dinosaur footprints and a little skull charm. 🦖

I wanted a virtual pet that actually feels like it's living on my desktop. 🐣

Trying new shell designs.

Thoughts?

Virtual Baby Collection 👾🐣

When I was a kid, I had a virtual doll. Now I’m starting to collect them and play with them again. I’ve also started developing a PC game. Does anyone else here have a collection like this? 😊
