Developing a pet-type game?

I'm not really good with the social dynamics of animals but I can assume that the basics are:

Hunger
Loyalty
Weight / Height (size)

I'm thinking about making a pet game. Its completely AI controlled. All you can do is "guide" it. Basically your playing God. Like in Black and White. You feed your pet every day (which could be timed as every 5 minutes etc..) and such. Feed it protein (meat) it grows bigger. Protein cost a lot though. You can go for a cheaper cereal food but they won't grow as much.

This is simply the basic of the game and I have the blue-print written out. Of course if I give you guys the blue-print then I wont get a chance to make the map myself.

I was wondering if you guys would think this type of map would be "fun" to play. Is it time for innovation and creating your own type of gameplay? Or do I have to stick with popular game type and try to clone DoTa?

My map, Project Golemz, is also quite unique in its aspects. I was uploading the map to the hive workshop and couldn't find the right category for it. But in its base, Project Golemz is just a "madness" type of game or in wc3 terms "footman wars". But the gameplay is very different. I built the game from ground-up. (with help of ppl from here of course).

Should i make a map thats proven to work? (RPGS, AOS, TOWER DEFENSE) or should i try to make up my own type of game and risk it failing?

Gosh, a new map idea already. It sounds unique. I think that although it might fail, it's a new idea, and you should go for it. I wish I could think of good ideas like you can :D

Black and White uh? I really like that game though it is too heavy for my PC to run very smoothly. Though its good, anyway seems like a big project to me, though I think you should add some more basic things for the animals, also for the AI what are you going to use the AI editor or will you use GUI's and JASS.

    Signatures can be edit in your account profile. As for the old stuffs, I'm thinking it's because Blizzard is now under Microsoft, and because of Microsoft Xbox going the way it is, it's dreadful.

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
