Is there any way to get more money?

Not yet. The current game is mainly a demo to test the sprites and engine features. The gameplay will slowly come next, as I decide on a general layout for the mods and elements.

Would it be possible just to add a money ticker, for now, without causing problems? have it give 5/10 every few minutes

I think its fine as it is as a proof of concept. Sure, a money ticker would help, but then there would be more smaller things you coukld add "just for now", and suddenly you waste time on doing these things which would be way more usefull spend on the real things.
And things which are made "just for now" somehow tend to stay way longer than intended, and then change the plan of the game you once had slowly. I like it more to wait longer and instead have a game the developer stands behind completly and which is made how he envisioned it instead of having something full of work arounds and other temporary fixes.

I simply have to give a shout out to Lilychan on FA, for being so awesome and making this adorable piece of fanart for the project! Thank you so much

I'll actually consider taking inspiration from his concept of the UI: It's very accurate to how I'd like to see the end product look, although some things I do plan to do a bit differently.

Spent the last few days working lotses on Voragotchi. A bunch of sweet new features is now available in GIT master:

• A whole new interface design is now in place, inspired by lilychan's fanart of the project. The new UI is cleaner, more visually appealing, and contains more useful information.
• The pet now has a dominance trait, which affects how they behave toward the player and other people; When this trait is high, the pet will occasionally steal food from you or merchants that are visiting.
• There is also a wanted level, which increases as your pet terrorizes the community; This currently goes up as food gets stolen from merchants, and will later increase as people are kidnapped and start disappearing. The higher this value, the less likely it is for people to visit any more, while instead a police officer will show up (not yet implemented). Based on how serious things are, the player will later risk fines or arrest (game over).
• Game speed has been scaled to match expected gameplay length. Your pet will now starve in roughly 4 real life hours, instead of 1 minute as the previous settings specified. For the old functionality, use a speed / difficulty value of 100 before starting a new game.
• The player's hands are now drawn in a 1st person perspective when items are selected. For instance you can see your hand holding the apple while interacting with an apple.

Oh wow, it looks even more better then before!
From the fanart image i seen, the Weather interface was collapsed and full view. If it was hidden, it would be exactly like you developed.

Also, i think i saw something else in the Game's file. It was another pet.

Thankie, I'm glad you like! And yes... there are actually sprites for two pets: The kitty, and a doggy! Both were taken and developed together based off the originals (link here). However only the definitions for the cat exist, since at this stage I prefer not creating two definitions which I'd have to edit together each time (so a mod for the dog comes later).

I can see in the original files, it have the walking and the jumping animation.
I wonder... If the pet(s) in one screen could roam around the field?

That would require element animations. My engine can't currently do this, and there are no plans at this moment to implement such... I might consider CSS animation perhaps, but I don't know. The code relies on simple HTML elements like this very forum, and actual animation would add a whole new layer of complexity, which goes beyond what the engine was intended for.

Oh, i see.
Anyways, keep up the good work!

So it's been over a month, hows the game doing.

I hope this doesn't come across as "WHERES MY DAMN UPDATES!!!"

Been busy with the Vore Tournament release this month. Next month I'll also be away for a few weeks, so there won't be as much activity from me in general. Fear not, I don't plan to abandon this project anytime soon

Will there be some, more human(at least "like") "pets" at some point?(Like Lamia or Harpies at least?)

Not really, sorry; Not into human preds at all... plus this doesn't really fit the theme of a tamagotchi anyway.

Well, I said human-like. Would a slime be possible? (I'm hoping for slime-girl of course, but even just a plain old blob would be fine.)

By default, only the cat and later the dog will be added. You can make your own sub-game with custom definitions by modifying the json files... this is currently difficult but a simplified game editor might happen later.

would you believe me if i said i had an idea to make a game almost exactly like this not too long ago?

ah well, good luck with everything i guess! it's looking pretty good so far

Absolutely not. That is completely physically impossible, you are a liar sir. Good DAY!

have you already implied console cheat codes:

like get apple 1000 to get 1000 apples.
or set time 10,10,10,0 to make it 10:10,10 PM
or set time 10,10,10,1 to make it 10:10,10 AM
set temp 10 to make it 10C

this for everyting that has a viewable data,
that way bug testing would be easier
