Game concept inspiration: I find a lot of pleasure in throwing biscuits at my dog who would them jump to catch them. I want to reproduce the same experience.
Motivation for the game: I wanted to try out the 'Game a Week' Challenge. So I decided that I will complete a game over a weekend and put it on itch. I did not pursue with the challenge after this game because I did not find it worthwhile to work on disjoined game experience every weekend.
Date of development: March 2024
Development time: 2 days
Market Research: I learnt that there is a full market for pet simulation games with a lot of potential for new and exciting experiences. I even found lot of dog animation assets on unity app store.
What I learnt: This was the first game that I coded over a weekend and uploaded on itch. I got more comfortable with unity, learnt how to generate assets using genAI and also implemented a scoring system. I also learnt how to export into webGL from Unity.
