TamagotchiMe my first unity game👾
Over the course of a month, I taught myself Unity, with some coding help from ChatGPT, and developed my first game for my Interactive Design class. This game was designed for Cinekid, a media festival for kids in Amsterdam, where the theme of the year was the "Age of Extraordinary" as opposed to the "Age of Averageness." My goal was to create an experience that inspires kids to celebrate their uniqueness and consider what makes them extraordinary.
The game is simple yet meaningful, modeled after the Tamagotchi concept. Players nurture one of four unique characters: Blue Dog, Pinky Rabbit, Colorful Caterpillar, and Caterpillar. Each character embodies a positive trait, allowing players to connect with qualities they value. As players care for their character—feeding, interacting, and helping them grow—they can explore self-discovery in a fun, engaging way. At the end, players can take a selfie with their chosen character and print it out as a keepsake.
With limited time, I focused on fundamental animations and interactions, striving to make the game visually engaging and easy to play. While the design is simple, I’m proud to have brought the project to life by designing the characters, animating them, and even adding my own voice acting. This project not only reflects my growth and determination but also serves as a celebration of individual creativity and self-expression.
