I’m developing a realistic, browser based dog simulation game focused on high quality art, detailed genetics, meaningful progression, and a clean, modern UI. The gameplay is centered around running your own kennel, raising and training dogs, managing their daily needs, and completing tasks and missions.

The goal is a grounded, cozy, and detailed dog sim with real depth, without feeling like a flat chore. I’m in the very beginning stages, a lot is in the works, a lot are stem ideas I can use to spiral into something else. I’d love to get some feedback and hear what y’all think! 

The game has two types of gameplay interactions:

Owner actions and Dog actions.

Both happen in the same UI and use the same point and click style. There is no camera swap, no 3D, no free movement. 

Owner POV = management tasks

You’re doing things a real owner would do.
Feeding. Cleaning. Scheduling training. Managing money. Running your kennel. Choosing dogs for tasks. Handling breeding plans. Running a business. All of this is done through UI panels, menus, and buttons.

Dog POV = work/task missions

You pick a dog, choose a task for that dog, and the game runs a UI based interaction that represents what the dog is doing.

Examples:

• You send the dog on a scent trail.
• You pick the difficulty and environment.
• A mini task pops up (ex: click-to-follow trail, decision choices, timing bar).
• The dog completes it and you get currency, XP, items, or progression.

You’re basically assigning work, completing a quick interactive task that represents what the dog did, then collecting the outcome. There *are* cute, immersive art design and there has been the discussion of short, small animations. 

Key Features

• Realistic Genetics and Temperament Dam/sire % coat color inheritance, markings, pattern combinations, health traits, behavior traits, lineage tracking, and working vs show line distinctions. The litters will take on many pros and cons of the sire and dam, so breed carefully!
• Age Progression Dogs grow through key developmental stages. Newborn, 3 months, 6 months, 9 months, adult, senior. Each stage comes with updated art, needs, and task availability.
• High Quality Art and UI Clean, stylized realism with consistent breed poses. Detailed coat markings, accessories, and environmental art. UI is modern and immersive, but not cluttered.
• Kennel and Homestead Management Upgrade your living space, manage enrichment, feeding routines, health care, grooming, breeding planning, and cleanliness. Balanced to feel cozy and rewarding, not stressful. You can decorate your kennel facility and add more ‘you’!
• Exploration and Missions Send dogs on scent missions, tracking tasks, training routes, and small adventure style missions to earn currency and materials. Breed appropriate jobs unlock with training and progression.
• Player Owned Businesses Build and run things like grooming salons, training facilities, breeding programs, rescues, boarding kennels, and K9 academies. Businesses provide long term progression, passive income, and unlocks. These are all player v player interactions! You can groom, board, train, + treat player dogs!
• Customization and Cosmetics High quality collars, harnesses, fur textures, markings, and accessories. Tons of variety in these topics can be unlocked.

I have SO many more plans, but these are just some key notes to run by y’all. 

This is a massive project and will take quite some time I assume to bring to life. I’m looking into hiring a team, I’d just like to get some feedback, see if there is even an interest in something like this. 

Thanks for your time! 

(Please be nice lol, I’ve never created a game before but have over a decade of dog experience. I’m picky with my games and can’t find anything I like, so I decided to make it myself lmao)
