The Lost DachaBo Demo (Patreon)

In 2022, we commissioned @flimbingo to produce a prototype for a full DachaBo "Digi-Pet" care sim. The idea was to flesh out the concept further, with a fully-voiced and illustrated game.

We received the demo very quickly! However, we got swept up in other events and the demo hasn't been brought out in a long time.

We're sharing it now with you all to see what you all think!

Currently, we're looking at the future of DachaBo in 1/4 ways--

1. DachaBo receives a cosmetic/programming upgrade to a more stable engine.

2. DachaBo becomes a desktop shimeji companion.

3. DachaBo becomes a "care" simulation game series.

4. DachaBo becomes a visual novel series, featuring an in-depth story and plot.

Neither has to be the sole option. And any of these won't be coming in the NEAR future. However, we hope that this glimpse into what could be will whet your appetites and get you all thinking!

Flimbingo here! I'm an illustrator, writer, and visual novel creator. This is the proof of concept demo for the DachaBo Tamagotchi I made in the engine Ren'Py.

It's a good look into what I plan to create for DachaBo. It features a persistent morality system, feeding system, and time system-- all in one fun package!

Here is the original game design document for DachaBo. A nice look into my ideas for how the game could work!  If you're interested in art or programming commissions, feel free to visit me here at https://twitter.com/flimbingo !

Have a look at some of my other projects! I've just the released the demo for my game, VIOLA, https://twitter.com/ViolaGameVN! It's an interrogation game with dating sim elements. There's something for everyone ;) (Content warning: This game has mentions of violent crime and systematic corruption.)
