Just a little game I whipped up after my friend got a tamagotchi thing.



I'm not much of a coder so if anyone wants to help me out the gmd file is here:
http://www.freewebs.com/golickamonkey/lifesim.gmd - download .gmd

Left click - interact
Right click - show stats
+ increases hunger
- decreases happiness

I will try to continue but this could well be a neverending project. If anyone wants to contribute a creature/code that would be rad.

Oh OHHHH pick me pick me!!!!!

I'm extreamly good in GML. And I wouldn't say that wthout being able to back that up. What exactly do you want this to do? We could do some healthbars too. I nkow how to make some nice custom ones!!

Well I wasn't really planning on having a plan but heres what I've thought of adding so far:

-Interface (I could probably do this myself)
Various bars (happiness, hunger, etc)
Time/age
-Playing with the creature
Seperate objects do seperate actions
-Shop
-Title Screen (could probably do this myself)
-Changes in creature with age*
-Some sort of minigame to increase age or money
-Possiblity of more creatures and perhaps breeding
-Movement dependant on mood*
*semi added

I'm open to any ideas. I don't really know where this is heading myself (probably not the best enviroment for a coder right?).

Can you train him to pickpocket people to get more money? That'd rock IMO.

No I can code this for you, just get together with me on messenger. I'm quite interested in the breeding concept!  Which version of GM are you using? I've got 6.1 regestered. ( lost my ver 5 regestrstion key.:(

What'd be really cool, since I just found that thread, and if you had permission from the artists of each, would be to use the super egg hatch-a-thon or whatever that was called. That would make a cool life game. Or your stuff too, whatever floats the boat.
