Blobagatchi

For a couple of years, I've toyed with the idea of making my own tamagotchi-like virtual pet. Finally, this year, I made the OnioCafe blob pet. While not polished, it was a useful proof of concept to myself, that I could make a little pet game that was enjoyable.

Now I'm curious about giving this pet its own little physical home. I'm using an ESP32 with a tiny TFT screen built onto it as a prototype. So far, I've managed to get a single animated image to appear, which took more effort than I expected. It feels like a big win to me, though, because knowing that it's possible opens doors! Will we have a physical Blob pet soon?
