My dude, your game shouldn't be so much "the perfect game" or a perfect representation of your nostalgia but an expression of you. In any case you should be proud to have gotten as far as you have. I'm new to coding and I've been making my own game and it's people like you who inspire people like me. So thanks! Cheers.

Fuzzites is very similar to a project I started, but it contained a more in-depth raising aspect, where you had a nursery for an egg, and different settings of the nursery would influence what characteristics the creature would have, like temperature and humidity, a few slots for special items like crystals,among other items you could find in the world. I wanted customizing, breeding, variety and growing/evolving. I also wanted mini games to build up stats as well.

I've had a couple of dream games. I wouldn't really call any of the ideas perfect though as my dream games usually suffer immensely from scope creep. All of my dream games became too large too quickly and now I acknowledge that if I even wanted to attempt to make them I'd need way more people and I'd also need to cut down on the project sizes. Hopefully in the future I'll be able to make the smallest of these dream games a reality, but first I need to becomes really good at making games. Overall great video, I'm looking forward to seeing what you make of your idea.

I also had similar asperations to make a game like Fuzzites. I drew my inspirations from the likes of the original digimon vpets, and I really wanted to incorporate farming mechanics like Stardew valley. I quickly came to realize many of the same things you did, and so I silently scrapped the project to continue honing my skills as a game programmer. One day I'll come back to this idea, and maybe by then I'll be drawing inspiration from you instead!

I imagine the worst part about trying to finish Fuzzities is that it's in an identity crisis (by that, I mean that it jumps from variation to variation because you don't exactly know what it's supposed to be). But this issue is already partially solved by having a base concept, and now I hope that the rest of the issue gets solved. I hope this experience won't be mirrored onto mine because currently I'm also having to remake a game from Scratch because the current version didn't work out. The main difference between your situation and mine is that my game has already proven to have a rock-solid foundation because of how much fun everyone including me had playing it, but it turned out that I reduced the possibilities so much that I can't extend the game beyond 2 minutes, so now I'm making a 3D version of the 2D game because the 3D would make (hopefully many) challenges possible that won't be possible in 2D, even with unchanged controls.

I also got into game dev at 13 years old, but that was 1993. All I had was a C compiler and a book called Teach Yourself Game Programming in 21 Days, which assumed college level experience programming in C. I had VGA mode 13h, which was 320x200 and 256 colors, and less than 1mb of ram to work with. Back then it would have cost $1000s for a graphics library, and commercial game libraries weren't really a thing. I had never even used the internet yet. In other words, you kids have it easy these days. But you also have a lot more competition. 1000s of new games to play every month makes it hard to stand out. Great video and I'll be sticking around for more.

I have been waiting like 20 years for another Chao Garden. I love the Animal Crossing like concept of fishing, farming, doing tasks and working in a little community and how that could affect the Fuzzites. Along with selling and eating crops, maybe you could use crops as power ups for your Fuzzites, bait for catching specific types of fish, or even a self power up? I imagined a 3rd separate component to the world which is the wild where you have to fight enemies top down like old school Zelda to get something akin to Chao drives and maybe find Fuzzite eggs on rare occasions or even use the Fuzzites to do or help you battle.

Just an idea, maybe instead of waiting for Fuzzites to grow you could have the main mechanic be exploration. Where the goal of exploring could be to unlock or find new Fuzzites, possibly even finding hats and other things that can be related to a fuzzite to make them more unique and special. To tie the idea into the breeding mechanic, how about only being able to explore certain areas with certain breeds of fuzzites? For example, a blue fuzzite could be a cold area fuzzite. Allowing the player to explore a colder area and find different items or fuzzites specific to a different area. (maybe the fuzzites you find just got lost and by bringing them back to your ranch, you're rescuing them possibly to return them to their natural habitat) Just a quick not very flushed out idea. However I hope you enjoy it or it at least gives you ideas of your own. Keep up the great content.

that’s so interesting i’ve also always loved the chao garden from that game! i couldn’t even remember which sonic it was for the longest time, i rented it from blockbuster for a month when i was maybe eight but i kept trying to remember and described it to people… as like “the one where you can get chaos as pets and if you try to drown them they become water chaos” lmao there really was something special about it though! good luck on fuzzites i would love to play :)

Ah, this video is very relatable. My dream game was something I cooked up around 5 years ago and I've made numerous attempts at it. The thing holding me back the most is my own ability to focus on a project. At this point, I just want to get a combat prototype up and running and while I've had a couple attempts that got pretty close, none of them has become something playable. I still wanna keep at it, though! I don't think I'll ever stop trying.

You conclusion is perfectly summarized. Sometimes it's not really scope creep, but the fact that 99% of the time, the game we end up making just never properly captures what we wanted it to be in terms of the emotional connection we originally had to it as just an idea. Keep it up, I'm loving all the versions you're making!

One of the creators of Nuclear Throne and Super Crate Box (from Vlambeer), did a talk a few years ago about making games. He said something to the effect of "the reason you can't make the game in your head is because the 'game' in your head is an idea --- not a game." Our minds do a really good job of tricking us into thinking that we have the whole picture, and that that picture is an accurate reflection of how it will work reality. But, if you stop to think about it, neither of those points are really true. Considering this wisdom could be applied to essentially *any* creative pursuit, I think that this was one of the most profound bits of wisdom I've ever heard...

I think the MMO version had the most promise. Not necessarily the multiplayer platform, but the premise of having a little critter that grows in certain ways depending on what you do along side it to become better at solving certain puzzles/fighting a certain way. The puzzle-like combat is also very interesting. It could push the player to evolve their critter to perform different movements in battle to overcome increasingly difficult puzzle fights.

I love exploration in games. This is what motivates me in any game. So I like the «gather ressources, explore and pet my creatures» the most. I am not an online type of player but this version was very cool too. Also very inspiring to watch and listen because I just starting my own journey with game dev and making a game, that I want to play, is so satisfying. But I see your point that the mechanics you like are not meant to be the main mechanic of the game. I will take this into my game design process. Very helpful and inspiring video.

Awesome to hear about the inspiration. Fell in love with that aspect of the sonic game as well. One of the main parts I remember the game for, and some what of a inspiration on game ideas as well. Just cool to see others hitting the same inspiration source.

I really think that your idea of fuzzites really kind of works best if it isn't the sole focus of a game. I'm pretty sure that the reason the Chao Garden is so beloved isn't just because it's raising creatures, but that it's a different experience and feels like it's separate from the rest of the game. Making it so the fuzzite portion of a game can affect the other portion, whatever it may be, and vice versa seems like it would be the best way to execute it.

Loved the video. Seeing the Chao Garden took me BAAAAAACk. I really liked the "single-screen" Game Jam version, the art style was "on-point" and it looked very concise. I could see that version of Fuzzites being an "idle-ish" game for mobile (a virtual pet I guess), or a sub-game within a bigger game, akin to the original Chao Garden. The "Big Game" could even be a 3D thing and then you go into an "in-game Game Boy-like apparatus" to play Fuzzites.

I think you should make it a multiplayer, I really love the battle system so it would be cool to trade and battle other players. Thats what makes a game like Pokemon so fun for me, its the social interaction and the grinding to beat other players, it really gives the feeling of accomplishment. And that is what makes a good game for me.

Hello fellow former chao obsessor. I was just scouring the internet for chao garden inspired games and I thought _someone_ had to have made something like it already. Couldn't find much though. Glad to find someone finally doing so. As for what you had asked, I feel that version 3 and 4 work the best. The final 3D-esque one looks promising but I can't comment much on it with how little there was. But I will say that it does seem like it would be fitting if you used that to emulate what made the chao garden work. A main game and then that little island to come and check on on the side. I had the same realization as you when playing Chao Resort Island a few years back. The chao garden doesn't work in a vacuum. Good on you for realizing that. Love the name Fuzzite btw
@tannerlebel5167
@tannerlebel5167 3 жыл бұрын
P.S. I can see that little island working with version 4 as the main little area where you keep the rest of your fuzzites as you go out to explore with the one you have following you. I think you've got good stuff that you can draw from all of your attempts here to make something great.

My fav version is no. 4 The "combat system" is a cool thing, I would still build something like craftig for food. So that certain fuzzies only need certain crafted food. A few villagers or similar, time-controlled trees that can drop ingredients. Unfortunately I haven't played the Sonic game, but I can imagine that (like Tamagotchi) a survival mechanic would add some spice to the game.
