Berluskotchi Project Approved!

The following proposal has been approved:

[quote] Project Name: Berluskotchi

The following is a short description of the project:

  • The project’s mission and goals.

Berluskotchi is a variation of a customizable tamagotchi targeted to Java Mobile Phones. The goal is to have an entire line of different “creatures” living in your phone, differing in: animations, states and transitions, interactions, weapons. The difference between a classic
Tamagotchi and the Berluskotchi is in the game goal: while in the first you have to make the creature happy, in the latter you have to make it unhappy, possibly without killing it. The AI of the creature will be capable of making it smarter and smarter, forcing you to change your
tactics and strategies

The set of weapons you can use versus a creature will be downloaded from a web portal, plus customizations and other stuff: but the web portal will probably be a different project

The initial set of creatures wil consist of a subset of politicians, actors, sport people and worldwide VIPs in general.

Hello,
My name is Richard Danso based in the UK, The reason why I am replying is that the concept is something we have been looking at and trying to get some developers to work on.

It maybe interesting if we can possibly discuss further on creating the project my aim was to get large brands to support the project and start a marketing campaign here in London UK.

Anyway food for thought, let me know what you think!!!
Regards
Richard

it seems it’s taking a lot of time to approve this project… ???

I vote no, I found this project a little weird. I don’t see in what it may help the community (of course, because it is just a game), and in what it may be interesting (as a game).

Sorry.
