Pupperazzi is a simple concept, and one I am in love with. It s a sandbox game where you get to chill out with some excellent pups and take lots of lovely photos of them. This is essentially what I do whenever I visit my family, so I ve truly been training for this game my whole life. Over the weekend, one of the game s developers talked through some of the game s development while playing Pupperazzi during the Media Indie Exchange Game Dev Direct, and it s absolutely wonderful stuff. Just wait until you see Sea Dog.
Developed by Sundae Month (the folks who made Diaries Of A Spaceport Janitor), Pupperazzi looks a lot like what you d get if Nintendogs merged with Pokémon Snap - a very nice combo indeed. You basically play as a walking camera who s given tasks to take pics of specific pups. Or you can just wander around and play with them if you like. I feel like I d find it quite easy to forget about the camera part.
This city building sim is inspired by Ghibli films and takes place on the back of a huge turtle-like creature. It reminds me of The Legend Of Korra a little too
