Jack's Pets is my second game, and a much different project than Dubious Fudge (http://dubiousfudge.co.nr for more info) for several reasons. It's a simulation game, but at the same time a 2d platformer, racing, fighting, third-person shooting game.
The game under development has a simple pet engine where the pet is idle on the main page and can entertain you and respond to your treatment toward it, like a lot of virtual pets out there. You wanna' feed it. You wanna' praise it for doing good things and scold it for being an idiot (unless you want it to act more like a moron). Pretty simple, but allows you to gradually build the character of your pets.
There are a few things that probably won't be implemented in a WHILE, including inter-pet relationships. I'm dreaming of that, but that's not the most important and interesting part of this game, for certain.
The game's gonna' be packed with extra content and little things you can customize and look for. If you want to know everything about this game, including a demo shot of how it looks with a somewhat empty, however present, GUI, go to the following URL: http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/55840031/
