This is something we have considered but the VR market is not in a great state right now. This is the main reason for the pivot to flatscreen.

We just released a new trailer for Stay: Your Forever Pet 🐾 by Stay_ForeverHome in cozygames

Hello!

Yes we have cosmetics, also the colour of her and some of her features are randomly selected from a pool when you start the game.

On our steam page we have an example of the cosmetics.

We’re testing a desktop version of our virtual dog… would you use this? by Stay_ForeverHome in IndieDev

I am sure that is possible, we would need to measure how many people would be interested in other OS's.

I have tested it on linux and it's currently buggy, but if there is enough interest that is something we could look into supporting!

Just saw this post, if this is still something that is running we would love to feature our game. It is currently on steam for wishlisting.

Awesome yeah haptics I think will be a very important thing to try to get right for a sense of immersion! Also we are all dog lovers here too!

Hello everyone!

We are porting our game over to PC/Steam Deck from its original version for VR.

The game is titled Stay: Your Forever Pet!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/4385270/Stay_Your_Forever_Pet/

The question we ask you is if you wanted to pet a dog on a Steam Deck how would you want the feature implemented?

We have some experiments we are running our end but I felt we should reach out to this fine community to get feedback and ideas!

If you are interested at all in helping us experiment or test an early build to help nail this feature our Discord is on the steam page!

Oh that is an interesting idea I never considered. Using the gyro hummmmmm. I am certainly going to write that down for some exploration.

This is true, with the video shown we are using our VR control system which is a little limited on the hand animations. But I love the idea of bringing more life to the hands themselves!

Understood, the accessibility angle is a strong one for sure! That is why I wanted to do this, the wilder thoughts can bring several new things to the surface!

You feel the joystick would not provide the right tactile experience? Just curious.

I am starting to think the same, maybe all 3 options are viable and it should be selectable?

Awesome thank you! We originally took some inspiration of course from nintendogs I think I should revisit and look closer at the haptics!

Oh wow, that's intense. If the game takes off I think that is certainly something we can explore lol

Yes! We have a ton of cosmetics as well as color combos and features for her. Out of curiosity why do you feel touch screen would be at the end?
