Audreygotchi
A virtual pet with a bit of attitude. Part desk companion, part tiny drama.
A palm-sized desktop companion with a pixel cat that has moods, needs and opinions. It lives next to the keyboard and reacts to how the day is going.
Built with: ESP32-S3 · MicroPython · Aseprite
What it is
A tiny device with a square screen and three buttons. Inside lives Audrey, a pixel cat who gets hungry, bored and occasionally offended.
She doesn't do much. That's the point. She's there, she notices you, and she has a bit of attitude about it.
Why I made it
I wanted something that felt alive on my desk without being another notification machine.
Virtual pets got that right decades ago: small rituals, small consequences, a lot of personality in very few pixels.
Development
Mood states and a few new animations.
She sulks when ignored now. It's feeling more alive and expressive.
She has opinions now.
Hunger, boredom and a very specific dislike of Mondays.
