VRtual Pet
A downloadable game
Ever wanted your very own pet robot?
Now's your chance to find out what having one would be like!
This is our entry to Virtual Pet Jam and is a prototype of something we hope to perfect and release on Steam in the future.
In this version you can buy randomly generated robots, feed them spanners, play fetch, send them to work to earn money, and even breed them!
Controls
Trigger - Grab Objects
Grip - Point
Point at robot to select him.
Then point at an object, it will glow if the robot can interact with it. Whilst pointing at the object, press trigger to make the robot go to it. If it's food, they will eat it, if its an object, they will pick it up. Point somewhere else and press trigger to make them drop the object there.
Point at an object, press the trackpad/thumbstick to have them bring it to you. If you select a robot, and then point somewhere and press trackpad/thumbstick, they will move to that position.

Cute little prototype but very rough.
Based on the age of this game and lack of updates I doubt the devs plan on any updates but if they do I have some feedback on the game!
I liked the little robots but i found the point and instruct to only Half work, they never seemed to need to eat, but there also didn't appear to be anyway to make money to buy more robots or food
Sometimes the robots wouldn't bring things or get stuck in a 'tractor beam' state after i took the objects from them
i wasn't able to test the robot breeding unfortunately since i couldn't afford second robot
there's also 'jobs' the robots can do but it's less clear what they are, do i rent out my robot to do a job? Then why does it cost money to do it? Am i paying my robots to clean my place? I doubt it since there's only a single plant and cube and a few scattered wrenches
the only tutorial is a message scrawled on the wall of how to use the controls to command the robots but nothing on how to make money and progress
As a note I played this on the Meta Quest 3s so some issues I had might just be from incompatiblities
