Description

Nekotchi is a simple, somewhat-idle Tamagotchi-esque game where you take care of a feline friend called "Dee". Basically it's a game about our cat, so you better keep him alive.

Keeping him healthy and happy will earn you LOVE points.

Controls

You only need the Left Mouse-Button for this game. The on-screen buttons are as follows:
- Status: lets you check information about the cat
- Food: give that precious, savoury deliciousness to the guy
- Play: play with him, it makes him happy
- Medicine: sometimes he might get sick, pop on some pills to heal that shit up
- Wash: wash up if he gets dirty
- Clean up: if he dares to take a dump on the carpet
- Sleep: order his ass to sleep

Software used

- Godot 3.2 (C#/Mono version)
- PaintTool Sai 2
- Inkscape
- Reaper (for audio)

Very cute game! Great art, I like the tamagotchi choice! Easy to play and the cats needs are very well shown! Overall brilliant!

Very cute game! Had some resizing issues on my laptop though, the UI was smaller than the game itself.

Soooooo cute. I would love some chill background music behind it though.
Fazy21 Apr 2020, 10:38
Great graphics and sound quality, love it!
I never liked Tamagotchi games but I enjoyed my 10 minutes with this one. Maybe some gentle background music to top it off? Either way, great work :)
Cogh21 Apr 2020, 10:38
Surprisingly fun. Good art. Just wish there was more features. Also music would add a lot.
Carlix21 Apr 2020, 10:38
They art was really clean and neat, I love it.
I like how you show in the paper what is the player supposed to do. My Dee is stuffed almost all the time, damn.

Such a cute game, i really liked it. Great work :)
awerar21 Apr 2020, 10:41
I love this game so much! The cat was so friggin cute! I think I may have found a small bug though: you can't fit the whole game on the screen at once and the UI was only on a part of the game. Still, I felt really happy playing this game

Really good entry - excellent cute artwork, and the sound effects were also great.

To try and come up with an area to improve, I almost feel that Dee could be even more needy? Quite a chill cat really. But that would be something that you could balance going forward.

Thanks a lot for sharing your game - great work!
SP3sheep21 Apr 2020, 10:45
Graphics are great! Audio is alo pretty good, only criticism I have is that is lacks a little content, there was not much to do. Other than that it's a solid entry! Well done

The art is very cute, I love it!
Lery21 Apr 2020, 10:49
This is missing the MAIN feature: how do I pet that soft kitty, little ball of fur?

I liked it, the sounds are really cool too, it's just missing maybe a little theme music.
And honestly: nobody could let it die, so no need to keep it alive ;)

Aw, this is very cute! And the graphics and sounds work very well too. Really, the only thing I could ask for would be some more idle actions to make it more engaging to keep the app open for a long time! But even without that the little guy keeps me busy for a good while.

PS: Post photos of the real Dee, please! Because... uh, because we need to be able to judge how realistic this is! It's very important!!

PPS: "Keeping him healthy and happy will earn you LOVE points." - oh no, LOVE spelled in uppercase letters gives me Undertale flashbacks... :s

I love cat so i love your game.
Very cool graphics !
Great game.
It need a restart button when you kill your cat (accidentally of course :p)

Oh man, thank you all for the comments and love! Really humbled to have this much positive feedback. I'm glad everyone likes Dee as much as we do :P

@mono @awerar I deployed a small fix for scaling the resolution of the game, so that should be alright now.

@lery I did code event registering for clicking the cat itself for that exact reason :P Didn't have time to make the actual interaction though

@antraxxx CONSEQUENCES ARE PERMANENT

It's sooo cute and adorable, and my sister played it until 102 days.

Nice and cute, would indeed need some more events/interactions to "spice" it up, even tho it's more of a chill game

I forgot to mention that it kept me smiling all the time. I think it is because of the sound effects and because I'm obsessed by my pets as well.
dankar21 Apr 2020, 19:28
Really nice game! Looks great and I love the sound effects!

This is SO cuuuuute, well done on the graphics and sound! Gameplay is pretty straightforward. Would love to see more features added so we can interact with Dee more
Ryulan22 Apr 2020, 10:30
My first thought: the cat is so cute! I would have preferred if the cat wanted me to do things for it more frequently - but that's probably because I wanted to see Dee react more to my actions because Dee is adorable ~ XD
FlorianDuf22 Apr 2020, 14:48
It's cute, positive and the graphism are very beautiful.

But the game is not enough challenging :)

Thank you all again for your feedback, it's great to see you're liking it! We're doing our best to return the favor.

@tobiasw @effarek @macabre You're right, while it has the generic Tamagotchi features in place it's a bit lacking in content (and too slow). There were lots of interactions planned but we decided to cut 'em to get the main game out in one piece.

And of course, couldn't leave a guy hanging for asking cat pictures.

@fat-cat He was so happy he didn't need to shit for 3 weeks straight. I think that is how happiness works.

@ryulan I toned down the frequency of happenings thinking to make it a more "pet idling in your browser tab" thing, but considering the feedback it seems more activity would have been the better option after all :P
Stell22 Apr 2020, 23:25
I loved this game so much. The art is amazing and it's such a simple concept but you executed this so well! Good job! I really love Dee and played this game for more than I should've.

Ok, supercute drawings and stuff. I really like it. Cats are the best.

Probably I would have loved a more immersive background music. But still, nice game!

Love the art style, and the very realistc effects. Wish I'd have paid more attention to the status sheet, he looked sad so I kept giving him pills, and then he died. :frowning:

How the ding dong diddly am I supposed to cure this poor cat of his poison? D':

A stuffed that fool full of pills and he ended up dying after 7 days, lol. But I couldn't get him out of either the poisoned state or the "doesn't look good" state. :'(

I loved the art in this though. :) I think some ambient background music could go a long way, but otherwise this was a nice little experience.
