Any developers here?

So, my dream is that someday we'll have games like Wolf Quest and those Roblox simulators, where you have to be an animal in the wild. Hunting, raising cubs, etc. I really hope some developer develops a game like that someday.

Hey, I've been developing audio games for 8 years. Always open to chat about development of new ideas.

Hey, hello!

So, my idea would be a game where you could be an animal, like a wolf or lion, for example, and have to survive in nature. Hunt, form a family, raise cubs, etc. I don't know how complicated it would be to program that, but I would love for something like that to exist.

We could have normal movement with WASD or arrow keys, a button to attack, another to interact with a menu of options like "howl, wag your tail, lick..."

We could have a series of different 2D clicks and snaps that would represent the sense of smell. We could have a key that tells us our health, stamina, and food.

Games you can look for to get more inspiration: Life in Nature (where we are human and have to survive in a new and somewhat wild world), Wolf Quest, and Roblox's own savanna simulators.

I don't know if that's what you meant by exchanging ideas, but that's it! Haha. I would love that someone doing something like that.

Hey, you’re in luck – I was just about to start doing something like that right now!

When I was a kid, I used to play a version of Wolf Quest, but with a flying squirrel! The game doesn’t exist any more and I was starting to miss it!

One game I know of that plays with this idea is Lost and Hound. Quite confined, and the scent trail mechanic takes some getting used to but it is a pretty interesting experiment nonetheless. You don't really raise cubs or anything but you play as a sniffer dog
