Talking Tam: Virtual Pet

This project aims to create a virtual pet experience inspired by the classic Tamagotchi toy. Straying from the original Tamogatchi design, this project simplifies the gameplay to a smaller slice, focusing more on the pet responding to interaction than keeping the pet alive. 

Key Features:

• Virtual pet behavior:
  • The pet has simple behavior, reacts to button inputs, displays mood, and ages as you keep the game running.
• Gameplay and interaction:
  • Through button inputs, you can control aspects of the virtual environment like spawning food or medicine and turning the light on and off.
• Audio input and playback:
  • You can speak into your device's mic and have the virtual pet repeat the phrases with a voice generated by audio processing.

Development:

• Developed with p5.js

• Art and animation done in Aseprite

• Sound effects generated using https://sfxr.me/  

• Background music sourced from https://freesound.org/s/653717/
