    Auroria is being developed for PC and mobile by Chinese studio Tianjin Wumai Technology, who are owned by megacorp co-publisher Tencent.

    Tencent

    For this reason alone, I hope it flops hard

    Next year, we might see many Genshin Impact-level creature (or bishojo) raising games

    The latter sound like they’ll find huge success with all those pillow-waifu lovers

          Fun fact, one of the mods that wanted to be the adult palworld mod, Pals of Desire, imploded due to an attempt at monetization, since it was a collection of the then available adult mods by different authors.

        I have trouble imagining a sexy pokemon. Is it just, like, Pikachu with tits?

          There’s quite a few (of the nearly/over a thousand current pokemon) that are humanoid in appearance.

          But yeah, there’s those too.

          Could be a kemonomimi version, could be a furry version, your mileage will vary greatly according to the person you ask, or the artist you search for

    It’s not a matter of budget, it’s a matter of having the balls to put out such a game

      Calling it “just ark” is even more reductive than calling it pokemon.

      There is more feature overlap between pokemon and Palworld than Palworld and Ark.

      Yeah how dare they create a wildly successful concept for a game and want to warn their players that app store clones are not official at best and viruses at worst.
