Dejobaan Games Announces Monster Loves You, A Digital Pet App With RPG Elements
May 22, 2012
Even though their hit skydiving game AaaaaAAaaaAAAaaAAAAaAAAAA!!! (Force = Mass x Acceleration) was just recently ported to iOS, thanks to the help of Owlchemy Labs, Dejobaan Games is already working on their next App Store release.
This time, Dejobaan is partnering with Radial Games, creator of SteamBirds, to launch Monster Loves You, a Tamagotchi-style game that adds a few RPG elements, but not too many, to make it "100% awesome." Or as Andy Moore, founder and captain of Radial Games, puts it:
“I think the closest I’ve really come to playing an enjoyable ‘pet’ game is The Sims 2, which was an excellent title but just demands WAY too much of my time. I want a similar experience – something with all that drama, character development, and ups and downs… but that I can play on the toilet.”Sounds like a good idea to me. The traditional digital pet becomes boring and full simulation games are way too tedious to enjoy in a casual manner. Monster Loves You is simply looking to hit the median of the two. Going even further, Andy explains how Monster Loves You will provide interesting and entertaining content to entice users to play more, rather than something that's just of habit and boredom.
He describes it as “Not one that’s cheap and full of those little draws that get you to come back just because they said so. No, no! This game is better than that. We want to make a version of the game that moreso relies on content to draw the player back than anything. I think it’ll be a blast.”Unfortunately, that's all the information revealed at this time. No screenshots, game trailer, or feature list has been published. Nevertheless, Monster Loves You seems like a project worth keeping an eye on. Source: Dejobaan Games Via: Touch Arcade
