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.

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.

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!

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 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.

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.

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.

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 hope so too! Thanks!

Dude, my game development journey has been one I have wanted to take my whole life since I saw my first guide book when I was 6, but I too have spent the last 10 or so years of my life trying to come up with a concept for a Chow Garden style game. It has been the Magnum Opus in the back of my mind forever it feels like. I fell absolutely in love with the Chow Garden, I have re-purchased Adventure 2 Battle on every platform it was ever released on (and sadly experienced all the unique bugs), and it has been my entire life's mission at this point to create an end-all game of this style; I have never been able to think of anything outside of a regular RPG-style monster raising game, or a simple love-letter style actual small Chow game and hope I don't get taken down... So needless to say I haven't wanted to spend my time on it with no actual idea... I feel like your version 2 may have been a little boring because you left out the mini-games! I guess you are mainly familiar with the Chow Garden from the original game? In Adventure 2 they also had mini-games that you could use the Chow in to compete against each other and earn medals. As well, I have always wanted to expand the Daycare element. Since a more garden-oriented game would need more to flesh it out, a place for the player to let the Chow learn skills would be a way of introducing items for the Chow to play with and not needed the player to litter their garden with toys; If the pet has the skill to do something, they will just spawn the tool or toy when their AI goes to do it. I have been considering working on one recently actually since I have started a new job and am looking for a passion project to keep me busy on the side. I am very happy that KZread recommended me this video! I wish you all the luck with your projects, and not that I think this will mean much anyway, but if you would be interested in reaching out to other developers for help, advice, whatever, I would be glad to help in any way I can with the time I currently have available :)

Thanks for sharing! :D It's awesome to see other huge Chao fans!

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.

Thanks so much! :D

Would be an awesome version of what puffles could have been. Like club penguin but the igloos are personal farms, and you could set up your own shops in the towns! Great now I have to learn how to make that...

That would be cool

I'll get back to mine one day. Mostly worked on it as a hobby project. I found one of the biggest time consumers was pixel art, still got to finish the animations for 36 unique variants that are 64x64. Maybe after I finish all these assets for a UE4 project I'm collabing on.

I LOVED the Chao Garden from Sonic. One of the most prominent memories of my childhood. I found myself playing that game ONLY for the Chao Garden. The minigames you could do with them was fun. Maybe do some of those along with the combat system?

Heck yeah!

I really love the idea of the MMORPG aspect of it, but what if you made it a side scroller like Maple Story. The second one has such aesthetically appealing graphics and would save you the trouble of having to make 4 directional sprites, you could get away with just a left and right facing sprite for everything. I just found your channel today, but i cant wait to see all the projects you post here, keep up the amazing work!
