Open Source Tamagotchi v5(2.0) Game

[quawood]

Hey guys, this is my first post to this website so please be lenient on my usage. I came to say that I am starting to work on a Tamagotchi v5 game for iOS. Tamagotchi's were a really big part in my childhood and I would stress over them more than anyone could believe. I really liked the v5 personally because of the family type lifestyle and the wide range of characters.This app will not be available on the app store, but it will be open sourced on Github. All you need to do is download it, and upload it to your phone or play it using Xcode. I need feedback on what this app should be and if this is even an idea someone may like. Do not be stingy with ideas!!! Right now, I am currently making sprites (in color) and after I finish the important sprites, I will start the programming. Some ideas I had were:

• More characters + families
• New, more fun games
• More cheat codes
• Debugger options
• More interaction with Tamas (need specific ideas)
• Marry through bluetooth (similar to infared connection)

Feel free to comment and I will add it to the list of ideas. Thanks!

Best regards,

Quawood

Ooh yeah! I've always liked the v5, but there was certainly room for expansion.

This sounds like a plain awesome idea as I also loved the V5! If you need any character design ideas for parents based on pre-existing characters, let me know - I'm pretty sure there are plenty of other people who can help with other stuff too.

As for how to handle a larger chart, my idea was to allow the selection of any combination of 3 eggs for the first generation, each with its own growth chart. Two of the selectable eggs would obviously be the V5 and V5C, but I can also see eggs based on the Angel and Devil being high priority for a first full release as those are especially popular amongst the Tamagotchi fanbase. Of course, new characters would definitely have to be introduced for that (Not just parents) but it's definitely something to think about!

Yes, character design is on of the bigger problems for me right now, I will PM you about character design if you are willing? Also,I love that idea of including the angel and devil tamas, I will definitely consider doing something like that!

Out of curiosity, are you planning to also do Android? I think it would be a lot easier, since Android allows you to install outside apks and it's much tougher to do that with iOS.
