Your thoughts
Bugs, inconsistencies, typos, suggestions, recommendations, comments, I want to hear them all!
You could add more customization, add interactive features and change the font to a pixel font. Also, make that the pets are often in the window,
currently, they always go out of the window and are only on the left side of the window
Currently, there’s a feature where they’ll walk towards the middle of the screen, if they’re detected out of bounds, but this can take some time to see it’s effect. Thanks a lot for bringing this to my attention!
Eventually, they should all end up on screen.
Thank you for your pixel font suggestion, but I personally prefer the current font.
It’s unlikely that I’ll add any more features as of now, due to my lack of motivation and packed schedule.
Thanks a lot for supporting! Unfortunately, these are not physics simulated, I’d have to recode the whole project from the ground up (which I might), to make these physics interactable.
I’ll definitely consider doing this when I find the time, thanks for the suggestion!
