Hi Jess.

It depends upon  what you mean by virtual pets there are no actual 
programs that create a virtual pet on your pc that I can think of, but there 
are a good few brouser based games themed around pets of various sorts which 
you might want to take a look at, many have pages in the db on 
www.audiogames.net.


The most literal virtual pet care game I can think of is furry paws. This is 
a virtual dog training game where you train, feed, play with and breed dogs, 
own a kennel, get a job as a dog breeder or trainer, and exhibit your dogs 
in shows. It's a very well designed game that is easy to navigate and is not 
just accessible but actively friendly towards vi players (they even lable 
the images of dog's colour).


The only reason I don't play it myself is that as I have! a guide dog who I 
take care of each day, she's actually lying on my feet now, taking care of 
virtual dogs on the internet just seems a pale immitation to me.


if your interested in real animals, www.whitestic.co.uk's games to play 
online page lists several games for showing dogs, cats and horses on it's 
games to play online page. I've never tried these so don't know what they're 
like, but they're there.


Then, moving away from real animals, the most literal pet game I can think 
of is psy pets. this is a game where you care for fantasy creatures. They 
don't however battle or fight monsters or do rpg things, rather they grow, 
develope, create objects and follow their own calling. The game is based 
around Abraham maslow's higherarchy of needs, so you need to not just see 
your pets are fed, but also increase their self esteem levels and feelings 
of being loved. In return you can see your pets grow, take on interests and 
eventually exell in what they do,  as well as build and trade the items 
they create for in game money.


A really interesting game in fact, particularly because it is so freeform, 
though I found it a little slow for my taste sinse each pet only gets one 
action an hour.


then there are several games which like pokemon are themed around batling, 
training, breeding and competing in tournaments with various sorts of 
fantasy type monsters.


puppet nightmares features looking after soul puppets, but has an amazingly 
complex gameplay and battle system and is thus not for the feint of heart, 
though it  does have a great story and surreal atmosphere albeit one that is 
hugely complex and quite bizarre.


monster breeder has a great story and plot, interesting battles and monsters 
that can work, evolve, train and be spliced together to make stronger 
monsters. The only real problem with that game is that it isn't finished, 
and updates are rare, though there is still a lot to do in terms of 
exploring the map, questing and the like, actually I'd really! recommend 
monster breeder as an rpg, albeit that the pet elements aren't as strong as 
they could be.


That's a selection of all the pet care games I can think of at the second.

beware the Grue!

Dark.

Wow aprone this game rocks! quite literally.
wow Aprone, this game rocks! it's a solid concept, and I was completely 
stoned with all the dence detail and stratified gameplay you included.


it contains all the firey excitement of a raging volcano and encapsulates 
the history of the earth over millions of years in one short, round, package 
of total history.


Stone the crows! but this is good! all the thrills, spills and chills of a 
real pet rock, it's diverse behaviours and complex life cycle in one handy 
game, this must've taken hours of stubborn, hard headed persistance to code 
such a deeply complex and engaging game!


If I had a large enough catapult I'd send you a real pet rock as a thank 
you,   a really! big one sent really! fast! sinse that would fully 
encapsulate what I think you deserve for this total classic of a game :D.


Btw,  on an actually serious note, I'm amazed to learn that someone did! 
create a pet rock, business people will try to sell anything, usually 
because there's always some numbscull around who will buy it.


a fully featured audio pet rpg would be pretty awsome though.
Beware the grue!

Wow! I just love my virtual pet rock!
I am going to train mine to be a seeing eye pet rock!
Then, when it gets a little older, I am going to enter it into those secret 
gladitorial pit fighting contests with other pet rocks and watch my pet rock 
crush his enemies into pebbles! 
If you are wondering how to train your pet rock for the horrors of life and 
death  blood and guts combat with other pet rocks, then it is very simple.
All you have to do is quote warlike movies with battle hardened sayings from 
Conan the Barbarian, Red Dawn, and My Little Pony.
For those about to rock...I salute you!

Re: [Audyssey] accessible virtual pets?

2012-11-17 Thread Kelly Sapergia

Hi,

If you have an iOS device like the iPhone or iPod Touch, there's an app 
called Hatchi, which is a retro virtual pet. It is accessible with 
Voiceover, and initially I thought about buying it. However, and this is 
just me, I began to wonder if it might get boring after awhile. Maybe if 
they make it available for free for a limited time at some point, which 
sometimes happens with apps, I'll get it then.


Hope this helps.

Yours Sincerely,
Kelly John Sapergia
