Update. As of right now, if you try to access the link to the website, it will no longer take you there, and will redirect you to the github project page instead. I've seen rumors that Luc has stopped working on this project because he was afraid of getting involved in a potential lawsuit from Bandai.

I've heard V3's can live forever if you take good enough care of them! The farthest I've gotten is around 30 I think. Here's a growth chart!

Yeah, you could say that, since a major point seems to be collecting things (hence the name "atsume"). I just think it's fair to call it a v-pet since you still are taking care of the sumikko gurashi characters like pets! I wonder what defines a v-pet if it being a pet isn't enough? Regardless, I would be very interested to see more modern devices similar to this with focus on being a cohesive game that you could complete over a longer period of time.

I understand that! I worry I might lose interest since I know it's supposed to be very easy to care for, and I don't think you can die at all. But from what I've seen, the games look really fun, and the mechanic of shaking it to make things happen occasionally looks really unique!

Sumikko Atsume is a virtual pet based on Sumikko Gurashi, a set of characters produced by San-X. I've been considering getting this v-pet but I'm still unsure because it goes for around $60, which is on the higher end in my opinion. (But it's just so cute!) Do any of you guys have a Sumikko Atsume? What do you think of it?

Yeah, I always feel like I'm not getting the complete experience that I used to when I'm playing with my connections. Same here, I used to spend hours on it as well! I hope they're successful too, his name is Luc Rubio, you can find info on the project on the github page linked above!

Same here, the Music Star / TamaGo one was so unique, I loved seeing other people online and walking around!

I do as well. The most concerning thing to me is the sheer amount of necessary missing files that are listed on the github page. I wonder if there is any way to find these files, or if anyone possibly has them.

Wow, I never accessed either of those two myself, you could consider contacting him about it sometime! I'm also very interested to see if he could make item codes work, that would be extremely helpful.

http://tamagotch.org/tamatown/ Software engineer and dedicated tamagotchi fan Luc Rubio is working to reconstruct all versions of TamaTown and make them available on the website linked above. I found this from Tama-Palace on Tumblr, here's a link to their comprehensive post on this: https://tamapalace.tumblr.com/post/172004493601/ Rubio is detailing his progress on this project on his GitHub page: https://github.com/loociano/tamatown This is really exciting news! I made a status update a few months back asking, "I recently discovered that even though Club Penguin has been removed by Disney, many people are hosting rewritten versions of it on private servers. Is there any reason that somebody hasn't done this with any of the versions of TamaTown, especially the TamaGo one? I miss those so much!" I'm so happy that this is actually being done. What are your thoughts?

This just recently released in the US! I've been playing it and I really enjoy it. The extreme amounts of advertisements and micro-transactions are annoying, but I'm happy to support bandai creating something tamagotchi related.

If I remember correctly, Dream Town has been discontinued.
