TinyPets

TinyPets

A long time ago, I wanted to play with 3D game engines and progressive web apps. I also wanted to play with some virtual cats. The result was TinyPets, a really rough prototype that allows players to watch some abstract cats walk around on a small island and pet them.

With some help from very talented friends (thank you, Simon and Fabian!) we build a good-looking landing page, log-ins using Twitter and Google, a tiny web shop for items to give to your cats, and some nice quotes about pets.

To preserve some gameplay from the inevitable bit rot, I’ve captured a short video:

Of course, immediately after we abandoned this project. I’ve restored it recently (just for fun), you can try it here:
