Guest mobtel Posted August 30, 2005 Report Posted August 30, 2005 well, a virtual pet on the phone would be nice, especially with all the fancy features posted so far, but imagine the battery life getting rapidly shorter when constantly feeding, playing with or fighting the pet... so me thinks the hibernate function is a must ...that is if such a pet schould be made.... otherwise, I'ts a cool idea. Question is what do we want: a tamagochi like virtual pet that just wants you to take care of it and has no additional functions, or a smart pet that even notifies you if a mail of MMS or so arrived that tells you the time and so on. Thing here could be that depending on how you treat it, it gives you more or less information (talks polite or nasty(sh))...etc. etc. 8)
Guest Radeon12345 Posted August 30, 2005 Report Posted August 30, 2005 I would love a pet on my C550, what a great idea, and that bluetooth sound cool where you could link pets together :) ;)
Guest gpcarreon (MVP) Posted August 30, 2005 Report Posted August 30, 2005 Pet mating via bluetooth would be cool! :)
Guest chucky.egg Posted August 30, 2005 Report Posted August 30, 2005 Pet mating via bluetooth would be cool! Somehow this has moved from Tamagotchi to "Bluetooth Porno Killer Smart Pets"
Guest Confucious Posted August 30, 2005 Report Posted August 30, 2005 Pet mating via bluetooth would be cool! :) You mean a virtual sheep? oops :oops: I'm not perverted, I'm half Welsh....
Guest dshaugney Posted August 30, 2005 Report Posted August 30, 2005 Oh i'd love this kinda thing if only it had bluetooth battling - maybe abit like pokemon? (ah the good old days....) - it's a must. Also if it is compatible cross platform, so PPC can still interact with the Smartphone version. The reason why this thread has grown into this is becuase a normal virtual pet is no fun. I mean - look even if you have a dog - you're still trying to teach it "fetch" and "kill" :)
Guest PayableOnDeath Posted August 30, 2005 Report Posted August 30, 2005 (edited) look even if you have a dog - you're still trying to teach it "fetch" and "kill" :( <{POST_SNAPBACK}> shouldnt the be Kill then Fetch as then you can say you never saw your dog kill it but it fetched it :twisted: Yay Pets on my smart phone would be great :) connecting pets via bluetooth sounds great ;) Edited August 30, 2005 by PayableOnDeath
Guest matthew.matthews Posted August 30, 2005 Report Posted August 30, 2005 I like the idea of a pet with extra features like notifying of email and sms and sms. Also the idea a the pet's staus linked to the site seems good. You could also include a feature on the home screen to show pet status and if any more virtual pets are in range maybe?
Guest Jamma14 Posted August 30, 2005 Report Posted August 30, 2005 I think it's a good idea as long as you can give it some original features and keep it interesting. Bluetooth mating/trading/visiting/fighting/etc.ing would be good, and if it had nice gfx. O and the homescreen plugin is a good idea if you want to leave it on (should be a pause mode though). There should be advantages to keeping raising it though, such as improved stats for racing competitions or something. Also it would be good if it was similar to chao raising in Sonic Adventure 2 on the Dreamcast, anyone else do that or was it just me?? :| In that every little thing you fed it and how you treated it, (including how you treated it as an egg and where it hatched in the field type area you can keep it in) affected its appearance and stats, then you get it into fights and racing competitions etc. You should be able to choose lots of different species of pet/types of egg etc. Intergrating it with MoDaCo would be sweet as well, so that maybe you can check on people's pet stats in their profile etc. Anyway, those are my ideas, do half of them and you'll get even the most cynical interested. Paul, (if you've decided) is it going to be freeware or do you have any plans of selling it? If so around what price?
Guest bosshogg Posted August 30, 2005 Report Posted August 30, 2005 Paul, (if you've decided) is it going to be freeware or do you have any plans of selling it? If so around what price? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I sense a Plus benefit! :)
Guest max1956bikes Posted August 30, 2005 Report Posted August 30, 2005 i voted yes i think its a great idea if it could fight even better i used to play with simular thing on orange wap i spent hours on it but i forgot name.
Guest nausea Posted August 31, 2005 Report Posted August 31, 2005 A lot of people have been requesting a virtual pet game so it should sell well. And best of all its relatively simple to code. The only hard part is the art! Why cant we all be artistically inclined? Good Luck! 8)
Guest confused and hungover Posted August 31, 2005 Report Posted August 31, 2005 just my 2p's worth... there are about 13 people with smartphones in my office, i can see this being a real hit, especially if we can all connect via bluetooth and make our pets play/hump/slaughter each other, it would be even better.... how about friendly competition like running, catching a frisbee etc....? not so gruesome i know. maybe have a "shotgun" option where, when your dog/cat/giraffe gets old and lame, you can take it out to a field and shoot it? i also read earlier in the post something about pit bull fighting? might i venture a cock fighting option, and oh, oh, oh.... how about a virtual baby seal that you can look after and feed and then.... i'll stop there then eh?
Guest nevawlkalone Posted August 31, 2005 Report Posted August 31, 2005 Am likin the sound of sSWords idea. Battle between eachother over bluetooth n stuff. A definite!!!!! :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: n option if winnig stuff of other players.
Guest Charlie Mouse Posted August 31, 2005 Report Posted August 31, 2005 How about a fishtank? You could train up pirahna's and sharks or just cross breed wierd fish and then bluetooth them into someone else's tank and see what happens, they could either end up dead or pregnant :) You could also use the fishtank as a screensaver to automatically run when on mains power etc.
Guest Charlie Mouse Posted August 31, 2005 Report Posted August 31, 2005 Oh yeah, and its got to work on a JAM!
Guest confused and hungover Posted August 31, 2005 Report Posted August 31, 2005 so to sum up... dog fights, cock fights, sheep sex, blutooth battles, blood, guts, gore, pokemon, beastiality and mutant fish sex/mutilation. LOL, i'd pay to see that :)
Guest minty1978 Posted August 31, 2005 Report Posted August 31, 2005 so is anyone making it then? there seems to be a market for it! S
Guest Xenzo1990 Posted August 31, 2005 Report Posted August 31, 2005 (edited) I think its a great idea. A pause function would be essential. But aswell as that bluetooth linking and bluetooth multiplayer. Maybe have an option to say 'Goto the park' and then it connects to bluetooth and in the park, all bluetooth connected pets around would be displayed. But i'de really like to see this. It has to be for Pocket PC too. Edited August 31, 2005 by Xenzo1990
Guest agent.m Posted August 31, 2005 Report Posted August 31, 2005 what we talking here..........Playboy or Pokemon???

Guest Dade Posted August 31, 2005 Report Posted August 31, 2005 what we talking here..........Playboy or Pokemon??? How about poke-a-playboy?
Guest bretto Posted September 1, 2005 Report Posted September 1, 2005 (edited) Here's a pic of a friend of mine with her pet, if you could make it something like this I'd be interested. :) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Got my vote for one like this :exclaim: :exclaim: :exclaim: or a bat I guess :roll: But DEFINATELY NO microsoft paperclip...."Hey it looks like you have a message..." Edited September 1, 2005 by bretto
Guest confused and hungover Posted September 1, 2005 Report Posted September 1, 2005 Pauls opened a can of worms <{POST_SNAPBACK}> yeah, worms, horny worms that are armed to the teeth. lol
