How come we haven’t had a really good virtual pet for so god damn long? Something as deep as the chaos were? Every time sonic comes up someone…well…usually me…screams about the chaos and how we want them back.
HOW HAS NO INDY DEV PICKED UP THE BALL ON THAT ONE GOD DAMMIT YOU STUPID SMELLY NERDS DO YOUR STUPID SMELLY NERD CODE AND MAKE ME A VIRTUAL PET :(
The last one I know of is WobbleDogs, but I’m not sure how much of that is in depth virtual pet vs haha funni streamer bait.
Pretty sure there’s a fan made chao garden game that came out last year. Can’t speak to it’s depth or quality though.
A real mad genius move would be to make a linked desktop game and phone app, like how you could download chaos into the VMU from the Dreamcast Adventure titles and into the GBA Tiny Chao Garden from the GameCube remasters. Get the in depth experience on PC and the tamagotchi/digimon pedometer pet stuff on mobile.
Do all sorts of cross promotion with other indie games, like how Team Fortress 2 used to have special cosmetics unlock if you owned certain other games.
As far as “pocket” pets go, there’s a few Digimon “remakes” for Android. Digital Tamers: ReBorn was a good one. I think it’s free on itch.io
I tried wobbledogs actually. just…eh. The breeding seems neat but not really a lot too it. But yes, the whole phone/pc/console thing as opposed to VMU is one of my wet dreams when it comes to this shit.

Agreed. I’ve thought about doing it myself tbh, but then I also start 15 other projects and the idea just gets washed away.
