September 2020 - January 2021
DeskPet is a 3D Pet Simulator, allowing you to take care of your dog by feeding, treating, petting, walking and playing with them. You can watch your dog roam around its room freely, bumping over a few objects it may find interesting. If your room isn't spacious enough or have any decoration, the shop can add some color to that room!
You can take your dog out to the backyard to chase squirrels or do its business. You may also play Puppy Soccer, playing as your pet to push randomly spawning balls into the goal. Meters rise and fall depending on what you do so you need to manage carefully to have the happiest pet in town!
Game being prepared for QA testing before release.
Made with Unreal Engine 4, using a free dog model by leighlra on turbosquid.com and a free squirrel model by creazilla on creazilla.com. Sounds from freesound.org. All other assets made by Scarlet Blackwell.
