Dr. Dog's Human Society
The year: 202X. After the Robot Uprising and the Petpocalypse, stray humans are often found running about with nobody to look after them.
You are Dr. Dog, a border collie with a great pedigree and a medical pet-degree. You have just opened your own Human Society, the first no-kill shelter for humans. Choose, feed, and entertain your humans, keep them healthy, and maybe even find them their forever homes!
What we got done: Right now you can just walk around the shelter a little bit, and none of the simulation bits really work. There are a few cool things to look at though! Some of the humans are also randomly generated, so try reloading a couple times. The HUD in the upper right corner is just a preview of how some of the in-game UI might look, with your funds, population, happiness, health, and hunger stats.
If we had more time: The game would let you manage your shelter and who was admitted. You'd need to pay rent and upkeep, and make tradeoffs such as which food and entertainment to give to which humans. How much can you expand your shelter? How many humans can you find forever homes for? If this concept sounds cool, let us know in the comments!

Great Idea Man This Could Be A Great Game If You FInish It And I Could See A Viral Game, But The Problem I See Is The Marketing You Need To Get People To Get To Know About This Game Because You Got The Game To Back It Up You Just Need To Get People To Know About This Game And You Got A Successful Game That You Could Probably Sell, Keep Working Hard, Good Luck . Also Here Is A Game Idea Maybe You Could Have Other Dogs Come Adopt Humans And Depending On Your Happiness They Adopt Some Humans
This looks pretty cool! For a game in development, you've got a very good start.
It's a bit slow when I played it but maybe it's because of my laptop (?).
Either way, love to see where you'll take this!
