Bought my first new colour Tamagotchi after the P's. It's the Tamagotchi Paradise, and it introduces so many new concepts and characters and THINGS! It has a dial on the side! There's so much to do, and I'm having a blast. 🤓

The screen is an absolute cowbag to photograph, but here is my first (blurry) adult, Horhotchi. It's a little owl! I'm so happy. 😆

This tama's a chonky boi.

So, initial thoughts having only made it past baby phase to toddler...

  • The screen viewing angle is very bad from anything other than directly head on.

  • The sound is a lot more bit crushed and distorted. It's like the small speaker is being worked waaay too hard. It sounds awful compared to the Pix and On.

  • After playing with the Tamagotchi Pix for a week, which has a capacitive touch indented button set that allows for gestures, this tamagotchi feels less interactive.

  • The main menu also feels a little less done with love, and a little more generic.

  • I don't know how I feel about achievements long term, but they are fun and novel right now.

So there's going to be a longer blog post coming out about this soon, but I'm delighted to announce that I finally got finished with listing the Development Kit boards for PETI, my custom #virtualpet hardware project, on Tindie.

There's links throughout that take you to the project page on my site and to the repo which includes a full service manual.

It's the perfect gizmo if you want to design your own pet around the same microcontroller or follow along with the project itself.
