Showpig multiplayer game
Budget: $250 – $750 USD
The idea is people breed and show pigs against other players and they can buy and sell pigs to one another. So every day there would be a show or multiple types of shows where they could enter the pigs into. An auction tab where players could look at pigs for sale and bid on them with game money. The animals age and gestation would go off of real time (for example would take 5 real time days for pregnancy to complete and a female give birth). The game would generate new animals based on genes from the mother and father, which would affect the looks of the pigs and how well they grow and preform. Also the age of the animal, weight of the animal, and the feed given to the animal would affect its performance and its looks. As another source of income, players could breed pigs to have the biggest litters and grow the fastest so the pigs they produce would make them money at the butcher which they could then put towards buying new animals and better feed to help them win at the show.
Basically, it would be similar to showcattle.com or horsereality.com where players would pay a monthly/yearly subscription to be able to own, show, and breed pigs to compete against one another. The easiest way to describe a pig show is it’s like a dog show in that they are judging them for their build and proportions. Those stats would be represented by numbers, and influenced by the age and genetics and feed given to them.
The basic things I would want would be the ability to feed and breed the animals and them have traits, the ability to give someone I choose access in the judge and place the animals and describe why they are placed the way they are, and then the ability to send the animals to the butcher for money and the ability to send them to auction for money. Also some sort of restricted amount of animals they could own so if they want to have more animals they have to make and pay for more accounts or account space.
After the basics are added, I would advertise the game and after having subscribers, I would want to add more features like collecting semen from the animals for breeding and selling semen to other players, A game forum and chat (which may start on discord) the ability to have a “private treaty” sale between two players so they could sell an animal and not give access to other players to buy it. Adding more genes, breeds, traits to the animals. Adding more types of feeds. Adding the ability for animals to get sick and medications to treat it. And if it became popular enough I would want to make a new game or two for sheep, goat, beef cattle, and dairy cattle.
I am completely new to this and wanting to create a game because there are few games like this that are a species other than horses and I think it can be profitable if I advertise it correctly to the demographic.
Thanks in advance!
