Project ANI - Browser Based 3D Virtual Pet Game

[Noctrine]

Alright, I guess it's about time I show what I've been up to.

What is Project ANI?
I'm happy that you've asked. ProjectANI is a 3D Virtual Pets game because it is intended to run on a website I am tempeted to draw parallels to sites such as Neopets but in reality it's quite a bit different.

ProjectANI was primarily influenced by Pokemon, Digimon, and Monster Rancher (there are a few other influences in there like the Chao Garden from sonic and Tamagotchi pets but mostly those.). So like those games, you play as a creature journeying the world while training a virtual pet of your choice (well, it's more like creation in our case).

What is the technology?
The client is the Unity webplayer. On the backend there are a lot of things, some I can't say because deals aren't finalized and press releases haven't been made. The rest just doesn't have a name because it's homebrew.

Concept Art
I'm to lazy to upload everything somewhere else, so you can find all of the currently public media here: http://project-ani.deviantart.com/gallery/
That's also where you would check as more things get posted.

Nice project, Noctrine.

I used to (and still do) play Neopets. I'll be sure to follow it's progress.

But what happened to Indie-Point?

Thanks . We will be beta testing this winter.

I had to shelf indiepoint for the time being*, it was what was necessary to really work on ProjectANI seriously.

*I may put some capital behind it in the fall but there is no way that I would be able to compete against bandcamp (which launched quite amazingly in the same space) and I believe that it would ultimately be a superior service. So while I re-evaluate what I want indiepoint to be it will be gone for awhile.
