Hey InZoi team, I’ve recently been thinking about all the cute gameplay ideas that can come along with adding pets so here’s a few:
- Main Pets: Dogs/ Cats
- Small pets that can be bought at “pet shops”: Bunnies, Guinea Pigs, Hamsters, Birds, Fish
**Gameplay Ideas:**
- Cars: Dogs can sit in passenger seats of cars and hang they’re heads outside of car windows
- Skills\ Training: Dogs can build different skills and strengths through a dog-training building rabbithole. Skills include- hunting (maybe they roam beaches while on a walk and dig up seashells or other cool things under the sand!), dog tricks (give a paw, jump commands, roll over, catch a toy or bone), speed training
- Events: Events that can be held for dog owners who have different levels of training and an award can be won depending on how high a skill each dog has and the competitions can be simple tricks and mini dog obstacle courses (there can be different kinds of competitions held for dogs who are different sizes!!)
- Pet Stores: Physical buildings our Zoi’s can shop for everything our pets need like collars, cages, leashes, toys, and treats!
- Pets Daycare Center: a building rabbithole you can bring pets to drop them off whenever your Zoi is busy. This can also become a career for Zoi’s as well either rabbithole or active!
- Collars: Different kinds of leashes like either the one that holds the body or normal collars.
- NPCs: Other NPCs can be seen walking around their dogs on leashes at the parks and on side walks (for parks there can be added “doggy obstacles” where you can take your pets to play and meet other dogs)
- Relationships: Dogs might sniff to greet another dog as they pass by on their walk and the owners can greet each other as well, become friends, and maybe set up a dog park date… both the dogs and the owners
- Doggy Grooming sites: rabbithole buildings where you can drop off your dogs to get multiple kinds of treatments! (fur trimming, doggy spas, fur dye treatments, nail clipping, etc)
- Dog treatment at home: you can either buy an outdoor doggy bath or you can also bathe dogs in house tubs and maybe give them cute little treatments like cucumbers on their eyes and paint their nails (dog safe polish ofc
) - Cats:
- Cat App: multiple different cat items that can be ordered through a “cat app” (which can have some variation of a clever name like “kitty Korner” or something). Items like cat towers, cat outfits, cute collars, cat beds, cat toys, cat treats, and cat bowls can be ordered here through this app on the phones!!
- Cat Actions: ability to jump and lay on beds, couches, and kitchen counters!
-
- Ability to cuddle with owner while purring as they lay or sit on their beds, couches, or chairs.
- Cats can playfully run around trying to catch their tails.
- Cats can playfully fight with other cats in the home. (Or cuddle and try to communicate with them)
- Singing in meows lol
- When cats are hungry or have a need that needs to be met, they can go to their owner meowing and pawing their feet
- Types of Toys:
-
- Lazer Pointers- where the Zoi moves around a laser pointer across the floor as the cat jumps and tries to catch the dot, the owner moves the pointer around in different spots.
- Cat Stick with Feather or ball toy attached- owner moves around the stick with the dangly toy attached to the end of it as the cat playfully uses its paws to grab it.
- Toy Fish, Ball, or other small cat trinkets that can be placed in a “cat toy box” from build/ buy mode!
That’s all I have for now but please comment extra ideas so it might be considered for the future Pets DLC because I don’t think I’ve gotten enough ideas for cats especially!!!
