Remaking Tamagotchi 25 years later...

[@Einhazard]

This is rad! As a big tama fan, what I'd like to see added is care-based evolution trees for the pets as well as less 'real world' animal designs and more just weird little guys like the traditional tama design. I think the battle system looks cool and the overall interface is really neat! Have you thought of having a breeding/generation system that uses inherited 'genetic' traits like the Tama M!x?

[@SquidGodDev]

Yeah the evolution thing was definitely something I missed out on that would've been good to implement. The breeding system seems cool for sure, but would definitely be a decently big undertaking to add to the game

[@Einhazard]

@@SquidGodDev I figure something like that is pretty hard to randomize well. This might be the thing that convinces me to get a Playdate though!

[@kwispykwemes9210]

We can tell your a tama fan by use of the word rad lol. Much love

[@erinomahony9480]

I'm with you 100%! I loved the weird little creatures. Especially in the beginning when they were glorified blobs! Give me weirdos I can love. 😄

[@RAGNATHEBLOOEDGE]

like digimon v pet?

[@srenrafaelsen9698]

You did a job well enough to have me purchase your game. As an old-school fan of both Tamagotchi and Megaman Battle Network, this game hits the right spots. Your game making vlogs are very inspiring, and I would love to develop a game myself one day. Thank you for your content. ❤

[@mrbanana101]

This looks great! I was also obsessed with tamagotchis as a kid. It's interesting to hear your thought process and game design decisions, and the final result with the grid-based battle system influenced by what you feed your pet was very clever - looks to be an addicting addition, keep up the great work! Subscribed awhile back, always looking forward to seeing more (and your continued work on the roguelite)!

[@SquidGodDev]

Thank you! Glad you thought the game design process was interesting - I'm always interested to hear about that from other people too

[@MaebaeTV]

Very cool. Love that you keep doing different things with the Playdate and the end result looks so polished! I said it before in a different video but once I have mine I'll play all your games.

[@SquidGodDev]

Thanks! Love trying out different genres and game types since I'm really using the Playdate learn game development

[@shadowninji149]

I couldn't believe you actually made something about tamagotchi, I want to make my own! Love your other videos too.

[@MrSchyzophrenic]

Overall, I am really impressed by how quickly you can put thinkgs together, gather assets, do the animation and make the sound effects. Any tips on how to efficiently use Aseprite or make sounds ? :)

[@SquidGodDev]

Well the main thing is I always try to find assets first for both art and sfx - that saves tons of time. Otherwise, for Aseprite or art in general I think the main issue is getting art block, so to make sure I don't get blocked I always look at references, keep iterating even if I feel stuck, and try out things to make sure I'm making progress. For sounds, I try to imagine a sound in my head and go through KZbin and freesound.org and trying to think of things to look up that's related to that sound in my head, and keep trying different prompts if I can't find it, and then bringing it into Audacity and experiment with just pitch/tempo/speed and reverb. It's all momentum based - just need to keep working

[@immortalsun]

2:22 Why not just make the clouds move very slowly to the right and the moon wobble slightly up and down? Tiny movements like that make a scene feel more dynamic.

[@SquidGodDev]

That's what I'm sayin. Yeah if I was making the game today I'd probably do something like that, but you live and you learn.

[@sergio_henrique]

Well worth the 2 week effort. The narrative was entertaining to watch throughout the video. Also, "I ran this picture through a dithering algorithm" has got to be the catchphrase of this series of videos xD

[@SquidGodDev]

LOL pretty much. It saves so much time since I can code way faster than I can make art and produces decent results

[@massah]

You did a great job! This makes me want to buy one of these and learn how to design and program for it

[@frognite02]

As someone who absolutely loves Tamagotchis since childhood, I really love your take on the original games! What I would personally add are collectible toys and items which the pet can interact with. On original Tamagotchis, the pets had evolutions that determined whether the pet was a toddler, kid, adolescent, or adult and according to this it went to school, could use different items (or interact with the ones it could previously use differently) and even get a job! Since you used animals I don't think it would make sense to add evolutions, but maybe it could be level based? It would definitely motivate people to level up to unlock more content. So yeah, items, schools (which depended on the Tamagotchi skills such as kindness, style and intelligence), and jobs would make the game more coherent with elder Tamagotchis, I think most of the things I mentioned were added between version 3 and 4. Also, look up Tamagotchi town, I don't know if you can make something similar here but as a child, I would spend a lot of time connecting my Tamagotchis to the tama-town website to get unique items, events, and rewards.

[@SquidGodDev]

Thanks! Looked up Tamagotchi town - looks pretty interesting. That would definitely be a cool system to have in a game.

[@melimorka]

I love it! You are so creative with a simple idea of what tamagotchi could be! Definitely would play ;)

[@sgnoogle]

You are so underrated! Great video editing skills and awesome video in general!

[@SquidGodDev]

Thanks Francesco!

[@immortalsun]

This really brings me back. Tamagotchi was part of my childhood! I remember having one of the really old ones as well as some of the newer ones as the years went on. The DS game too. I miss those things. I don’t even know where my Tamagotchi are today, but I’m pretty sure they’re all dead now… May they rest in peace.

[@AlexsaurusRex]

I was too young when these came out but my sisters had them and I thought they were so cute. years later I'm a fan of Pokemon and even more years later, they remake Gold and Silver and include one of these little guys basically. I've wanted Pokemon to bring another one of these guys back with more functionality when away from the main games. this seems like the perfect solution

[@luckerooni1153]

this is what I thought Pokemon Let's Go was gonna be... so disappointed.

[@AlexsaurusRex]

@@luckerooni1153the Pokéwalker should've had more functionality. Apparently you were supposed to be able to receive distribution Pokemon on it but the function was never used

[@LolaliciousSmiley]

THIS LOOKS SO FUN. I can't wait to try the battle minigame!

[@SamiTheAnxiousBean]

I love the way this turned out! you definantly improved upon the tomagachi formula ^-^

[@SquidGodDev]

Thank you!

[@jack_2000]

Thank you for showing Tamagotchi: Corner Shop, I've had memories of that game in my head for months but couldn't remember which game it was!

[@_pluto42_]

I love tamagotchi and I have a couple ideas, One is that you could use your Gems to get clothing for your pet. Another idea is maybe some sort of treasure hunting mini game we’re your pet searches a large garden and if you turn the crank the pet can sniff and search for the treasure or something. One final idea is (I’m not sure if it’s possible for Playdate) to make the mini game you already have multiplayer. Thanks for reading

[@SquidGodDev]

Thanks for your ideas! Multiplayer is unfortunately not possible right now, but I do like your other ideas - especially the customization!

[@_pluto42_]

Ok! 👍

[@twomur_]

that is so awesome!! i love what you’re doing with the play date and all the games you have been working on!

[@SquidGodDev]

Thanks!

[@KnowPhere]

Just subscribed! Don’t even have a play date but watching you develop games like tamagotchi is truly inspiring!

[@SquidGodDev]

Thanks!

[@nathankellogg2640]

I absolutely love this! I'm a massive fan of Pokémon games and I noticed the farming mechanics is actually a little similar to how berries operate within the Pokémon games. I think it'd be cool if different items you're farming take different amounts of time. You could add stages of growth and watering the plants regularly as they progress would give you more food items. Your plant wouldn't need to die just because you didn't water it. That kind of a mechanic could be implemented, but I feel it'd only make sense on rarer food items that give special effects.

[@MuffinSeeker]

As someone who also bought a tamagotchi that has been going strong for nearly two weeks now (Thanks to me learning about being able to pause it while I'm at work) I love this concept! I really miss all the old virtual pet sims like Petz and Nintendogs. I think one huge thing missing is the evolution mechanics. A huge draw to tamagotchis was learning about the different paths and taking care of them to see what they would turn into. Without that mechanic I feel like it'd be easy to play the game for an hour and then never pick it up again.

[@SquidGodDev]

Thanks! I got some feedback about that when I made this video, so I did end up releasing an update/devlog with a basic evolution system.

[@artyu13]

You have made me want a Playdate sooo much, im saving up for one

[@NA-cw3mm]

This made me interested enough to purchase a Playdate, as well as the game. This thing rocks, thank you!

[@Not-that-funny]

I was looking for a good virtual pet game and this is the best one yet so I’m planning I get a play date for Christmas also I really like all your other games and I make sure I watch each one of your videos.

[@SquidGodDev]

Thank you! Glad you're enjoying my videos 🙂

[@bakerboysdist420]

Dude how are you able to come up with so many creative ideas? The biggest thing that holds me back into even attempting game development is the fact that the most difficult part seems to be coming up with actual fun ideas that others would enjoy

[@SquidGodDev]

Not sure what it comes across like in the video, but I just took some ideas from existing games and put a small twist on them, so nothing too crazy! Your first games shouldn't try to be for others, but just something for yourself. The game will probably be simple and not fun at first, but that's expected - it's supposed to be iterated on. You shouldn't let that hold you back from starting!

[@tonywtyt]

Wow... amazing creation on this little console! Inspirational!

[@Irnbruist]

When I got my playdate last week, it was one of the first things to think of; how cool would it be to have a tamagotchi on the device. I could only encourage you to put more time into this, as I can see many people paying 6-10 bucks for this!

[@Majin_Lee]

Dude. Your video made me really excited and I was ready to try to make a Digimon version but then I remembered there’s already a wonderswan version or any of the handheld games.

[@El_Bellota]

Just want to say how good the sound design is, specially the make a wish screen, it reminds me of simple sound cues from some Gameboy Games.

[@SquidGodDev]

Thanks! Glad that the time I put into the sound wasn't wasted

[@paulytheking7365]

If you want original music, my offer is still open. Also the seeds for sale text reminds me of the Better Call Saul logo.

[@SquidGodDev]

Thanks Pauly! And I see it!

[@appleseedmg]

Back in the day on Phantasy Star Universe on Xbox you could download a Chao Sonic mini game onto your GBA. It was like tamagotchi in a way but the mini game was the greatest. It was a form of rock, paper, scissors and I've never seen it anywhere else. It would be great to see that remade

[@TemenaPE]

Only thing I can see from this video, not playtesting it, is that the pixels in the mini game get a little cluttered and confusing when moving around. Maybe add a white border around the pet sprite or something to make visibility a little better? Seems like the game getting fast paced would really suffer from issues of ineffectively seeing what's going on.

[@funstuffonthenet5573]

This is great. The only thing I would expect from a modern game is just more content. But very great for a free game made on a short timeline. Being able to customize the pet a bit with decorations or accessories would be great. Maybe more types of items that so different thing as well to give the game a bit more variety.

[@bentayman]

So frikn creative!!! Incredible work! I cant wait to play!!!!

[@DommoDommo]

5:40 it took my eyes at least 5 seconds to adjust to that being a crab and NOT an old man with a mustache.

[@SquidGodDev]

Haha I see it now

[@lion650]

Really cool! I've also started playing with a tamagotchi and I think I enjoy the passive caring you have to do for it, but it's really cool how you're adapting it for a more active play session. Have you considered (if you even can) adding a clock to work with the game so you can see your pet while the game is in standby mode? I'm not sure if that is even possible but it'd be cool to still have that passive caring through out the today you have to do.

[@SquidGodDev]

Ah no I haven't thought about that, but that's an interesting idea. It's definitely possible to do.

[@gaelponce7895]

Yo beacuz of your videos now i am DREAMING of having a playdate.Keep going and one day you will be a LOT better

[@christianboi7690]

I had a tomagachi as a kid with a whole bunch of mini games that you could unlock as you played and they would reward money that you could spend on food and more games.

[@ldrsubs333]

Probably a tamagotchi connection!

[@winstonchaychel]

While we also had Tamagotchi Friends that was B&W non-lit back screen it is def not like this! This is awesome! 💜

[@dabbsterrrdeadmeme223]

this guys games look top notch,, the pixel art and everything feels so. much like the style of the hand crank

[@SquidGodDev]

Thanks!

[@KedaiCiplak]

I didn't know this portable console was made in my country (Malaysia). Yet we can't really get it due to a bunch of rules with shipping.

[@ObsequiousV4]

I love this project! I had the blue diginmon and some kind of dalmatian one when I was about 5 or 6 and now I kinda miss them. Might have to check one of these out. Thanks!

[@griffinbrooks6748]

Cool! i know its gonna be great, hope it has a cool feature with the crank! Edit: Nice! I love the petting.

[@crossroadcircleoffical]

The best part of Tamagotchi and Digimon V pets is the evolution system. That's the part you missed. And it's the best part of the games.

[@SquidGodDev]

Yeah for sure. I added a simple evolution system in an update to the game which I covered in the video after this one ("Adding fishing to my virtual pet game"), but if I could start over I would probably create a more robust evolution system from the start.

[@jolt2372]

I think you should've had the clouds still moving, maybe just slow them down a bit. It would be a nice upgrade from the original vpet backgrounds and would create a nice ambiance.

[@MarcosCodas]

Almost worth getting the Playdate just for this!

[@little.man.]

maybe try adding some sort of “special attack” in the combat that does more damage the more you spin the crank within a certain amount of time. just a suggestion :)

[@Skandranon50]

I really love this! :O I'm probably going to buy a playdate specifically for this since I'm very into collecting v-pets ^-^ (and the playdate is actually cheaper than some tamagotchi models x.x )

[@tantohalim]

that looks so cool! now that makes me think to buy the console just to play this. there is one suggestion that popped up in my mind: not sure how feasible this is in the game: Evolution, tamagotchi in essence is a game of player taking care of their baby tamagotchi and then evolve them to older tamagotchi and then marry them off (at least this is what newer tamagotchi heading). IMO, I played a lot of vpets other than tamagotchi and vpet without evolution is boring, because there is no specific goal in mind (yes even with fighting mechanism in it). for example you can do pony, to horse to pegasus? maybe you can use level to evolve just like pokemon? it would be better for the evolution to branch, for example the horse can become pegasus or unicorn small bird can turn into duck, chicken, bat, big bird or phoenix mouse can turn into rabbit, cat, or dog, then dog to bulldog or cerberus, and rabbit to buff bunny caterpillar to fly, mantis, spider, or butterfly

[@SquidGodDev]

Yeah that's a great point and feedback I got from some other people too. How the code is set up I think that I can more easily add some sort of breeding mechanic, for example if you have a snake and a chicken both at level ten they can be bred to make a dragon or something. Evolution might be more complex and require rewriting more code, so I was hesitant to add it, but might be worth it if the breeding isn't interesting enough?

[@SquidGodDev]

Another issue is backwards compatibility with the save files that people have now, which breeding doesn't have an issue with, but evolution might need to have some way to handle that. Might be able to think of a solution for that but not sure

[@grrrrrowl445]

This is great! But I am a huge digimon buff and when I saw you talk about the digimon battle system I was hoping there would be a more standard formula, maybe later on you can have different foods have different advantages against monsters, or maybe you could make the monsters possible to get!

[@SquidGodDev]

Digimon definitely has some interesting ideas with their combat. Don't have any plans currently for any updates, but luckily there's a lot of space for other devs to make different virtual pet games for the Playdate.

[@Lurr91]

Its a pretty great idea! The only thing missing are evolutions which I think are the best part of a Tamagotchi.

[@SquidGodDev]

Thanks! Yeah I got some feedback about that when I made this video. I did end up making a follow-up update/devlog where I introduced a basic form of the evolution system.

[@6lu5ky86]

[@coleymoley514]

it may be rly hard to code but u couldve improved on or even taken inspiration in the modern versions of the tamagotchi to make it much more interesting. bc some of the features u added are some of the things that modern tamagotchis alr hv. one of the features of the tmgc thats tama fans enjoy is being able to connect w the tamagotchi thru endearing animations like first pov when playing tgt w the tmgc or animations of ur tmgc drawing a picture for u. its quite simple but it lets the user connect w the tama. but i still think u did great! this is a rly great proj and u made ur own take of a vpet, just not a tmgc.

[@Pichuscute]

Okay, I really really like this. I think you should spend some more time on it and get the graphics/sound/UX/usability really polished up. Could easily be one of the best Playdate games if you did honestly and pairs great with the general usage of the Playdate (checking in regularly). Can always shoot me a dm on discord if you want any help with that, although I'm sure you're more than capable on your own too. Also, not using the accelerometer to crack open the egg is massive wasted potential. It could be so satisfying that way. Please consider it!

[@SquidGodDev]

Thanks Pichuscute!! Yeah there's definitely a lot of room for improvement for polish in the game. And didn't think of using the accelerometer for the egg - I'll look into it :)

[@SquidGodDev]

I definitely feel some anxiety about the death part too, which is why I decided not to put it in, but I got a lot of comments wishing that I put it in because there's more of a driving motivation to take care of the pets and it makes it more meaningful to them, so I'm slowly starting to see the other side.
