If memory is the real issue. I could imagine having the “option” for raising a pet in a space built for raising it. Where after you raised it, that print of custom code on the pet followed you to other spaces.

A public park for taking it out, and showing off the tricks you taught it. The memory allotment for showing your pet off can come from the space itself being a game.

I know we have this in the dolphy space.
Why not a park type of environment? Frisbee anyone?

Great article Cheeky!:)

The idea of a Tamagotchi level of pet in Home is definitely one they should be thinking of, but as you’ve already said, there might not be enough spare memory for that level of pet. I’m not particularly big on pets in Home myself, generally because you gotta keep jumping in and out of menus to turn them on/off. I did buy a worm guy a while back, and the dark wolf to go with my vampire outfit, but it’s the lack of interaction that usually stops me from buying them.

Welcome back Cheeky great to see you writing again :)Would I like to breed my own virtual pet absolutely! In the the past HOME has given a fish tank and a car to evolve, why not a pet companion. Fun article Cheeky definitely got me thinking what I would want to breed

Great ideas Cheeks,glad to see you back to writing too. I think that you are right on the mark with this. If the pet market in Home is going to survive the locomotion epidemic that is sweeping through, they are going to have to up it a notch. Being able to breed one that you could take out with you when you are in public would be an awesome way to do this. That way everyone’s pet could look different and it would add another layer of creativity to Home and that will appeal to a lot of people for sure. I know I would love it. Nice read.

You make a point I haven’t thought of until earlier today. I have just recently started playing Mercia and unlocked a neat little companion that’s a beetle larvae…I really wish i could evolve it!
