Hi! As it is described in the title, I would like to know how possible it is to make a tamagotchi-style or virtual pet game in Ren'Py. Just from my knowledge I think it could certainly be doable, but I want to know if there are any specific ideas/examples you may have in mind that may make it easier to develop and envision in an engine like Ren'Py.

I'd say it's possible. You can find tutorials on making pet games in other engines and languages and the basic principles would still apply. For example, you'd have a variable for "hunger" that increases with time (or other factors) and then you'd have options for the player to feed the pet that would make the hunger decrease.

I'm not sure Ren'Py is the best engine for something like this, though, but it's definitely doable.
