>>9684324>Inspiration from Niantic games>Return to form for the franchise >Take the base Tamagotchi Gen 1/2 experience and build from that with a B/W LCD screen and Connection shell/screen size. No jobs, no store or points, no unnecessary features that distract from the pure raising experience >Uses the classic sprites>Connects to an app that sends your Tamagotchi irl locational data, time, and weather that can influence how the Tamagotchi feels and what makes it unique>If its hatched while at a restaurant, it may have a preference to be taken to places like bakeries, grocery stores, etc>If it was hatched in the middle of the night, it might be a night owl that stays up late and is grumpy in the morning >Some Tamagotchis might be adventurers by nature, preferring to be frequently taken far away from where it is usually kept, while some are couch potatoes that would maybe even prefer to be left home if you are going out late>Going to different environments can also find your Tamagotchi items, toys, different types of food, and maybe even exclusive games that can only be played in such an environment (surfing minigame if you brought it to the beach)>This system could tie into an absolutely massive character roster, with their design taking influence like what kind of places they have been to while growing up >The app can also detect other Tamagotchis in the general area to have playdates with, exchange gifts, or marry>Again, on the LCD screen itself, you would maybe only see the type of environment you are in, the weather, and if there are other tamas around. The happiness meter is dynamic and adjusts based on how your pet feels about the current situation, not simply a bar to refill by giving treats>Meanwhile in the app, you can see a detailed summary of your Tamagotchi, it's preferences, it's lineage, the gps map, closeup artwork, and maybe some bells and whistles like an AR camera Really hard focus on raising and what makes your Tamagotchi unique.
