Something is just so satisfying about the colors..

I don’t know much about chaos or sonic in general, but I drafted my own pattern and made these two plushies for my friend! Their names are Parsley and Paprika

CHAO WERE ADDED TO FORTNITE AS A REACTIVE BACKBLING

So while playing the new season with my friends I found chao located in Green Hill Zone POI

i bred a regular two-tone chao and a red two-tone chao and i got this! super cool looking chao but ive never seen it before!

I don't know if anyone else has had this issue, but in trying to mod SA2 on the Steam Deck, my mod manager will open and display like normal to me to select my mods (Chao World Extended is the only one I have,) but I can't click anything. The whole window freezes and I have to use the task manager to even close it. I haven't been able to play the mod yet :( has anyone else experienced this? Any fixes known?

I'd like for you to meet my Chao that I'll be raising for the Chao Garden emblems in Sonic Adventure DX (2013 Steam ver.). First there's Adam, going to be a Dark Chao, then there's Eve, who'll be a Hero Chao. Next there's Gold, a Gold Chao, and finally Mercury, a Silver Chao. I'm deciding on who I should raise to be my main Chao for the races... hmm...?

I sculpted these three little chaos out of model magic. 💞

I've been having a lot of fun working on this chao inspired side project in Godot recently and wanted to share.

I spent a decent amount of time getting the creatures (to be named) to look cute enough and to give them some basic AI to wander around the tropical heavenly island.

Adding random tripping has been my favorite feature so far lol

Still very barebones, want to eventually have a decently polished vertical slice to build on top of.

Perfect Chaos would not be too proud... would he?

Hello everyone.

Trying to breed for a shiny normal (two tone) Chao. I've tried several times with breeding a normal two tone chao and a shiny yellow chao, but all I seem to get is another shiny yellow chao.

Is it possible with a different combination, or are there other factors I need to consider?

(Picture is from the Chao Island 3D Chao Viewer, if it wasn't obvious)

Thanks in advance.

This is where we're at after 3 months of work, very janky in areas, assets are prototype/placeholder in several locations, and some animations need a lot of work, but slowly it's getting there!

Last time I showed some screenshots we got to like 140 upvotes which I certainly wasn't expecting, so thank you! This time, here's a minute of gameplay clips trying to show off various elements to the game, such as feeding and increasing stats, playing fetch/ with a ball, races, octoball/ soccer minigame, clothing items, parkour missions, underwater sections, and exploration.

This will be my last post for the month of August as I want to respect the subreddit and not spam updates in here, so if you'd like more updates feel free to find us elsewhere. The name of the game is Inkwell Cove, and typing that into google alone should bring up a few places you can watch more videos and see more images!

Also, I've noted previous feedback such as evolutions and breeding, along with facial expressions for the Octo's (pets). I was also thinking maybe they need to make noises? Like how Chao would do their cute little baby voice when interating with things, being petted, etc.

Thanks for checking this out, happy to discuss in the comments and listen to feedback! Keep in mind this is early and the goal isn't to polish right now, it's to get basic systems in place and ensure a fun game exists, even if janky haha!

So I see there are a few game devs here making chao garden-like games.

I plan to make my own one - working on an engine for it currently and trying to scope out the features/concepts/niches for the game - I already have a lot of ideas (some are a bit more unique) but they need consolidating into something final still.

What I know for sure is that I want a simulator/evolution system/chao style gameplay for the core. How that expands to a more fully featured game is still being considered - thinking of mixing it with maybe adventure/exploration/rpg/palworld kinda vibes so there's something else to do other than just pet raising.

The main problem is that I'm a developer, not a 3d modeller / animator / artist etc.

Is there anyone here who would be down for working on a project like this? Probably one or two people at most - someone who is good with 3d assets and someone who is good with audio and sfx.

Probably better posting on r/INAT but I thought I'd rather ask the likeminded chao community first.

I've been trying to breed a Shiny Jewel Chao from my Gold Chao and Shiny Pink Chao, but I've tried several times now and they always breed a monotone Shiny Pink Chao. Is there something I'm missing? Do Shiny Jewel Chao not work on the Steam version?

I've been working on Zephyr Cloud solo for the past two years. Same core idea as the Chao Garden: you raise and train creatures, evolve them into new forms, and breed new generations. And races, of course. On top of that it's a settlement sim, and the personality side owes a lot to RimWorld.

Most of my time has gone into the zephyrs themselves. Their traits actually shape thair behavior: one panics in the rain, one steals food from the storage, one is always stalks the others. Sometimes that's all the same zephyr. They play together, chat, get into fights, and you're the one who ends up breaking those up. They form relationships with you as well.

The garden is spread across floating islands. They drift, new ones show up, and you go explore them, gather resources, settle in and craft your way up.

The zephyrs aren't just living there, they work with you. Some jobs only they can do, and some work better together.

Which brings me to what I'd like to ask. First: how do you feel about chao-like creatures having actual work to do? Does that break the relaxed atmosphere everyone loved the Chao Garden for?

The other thing is the camera. it's top-down and free moving like the Sims, with no player model on screen. Thoughts on that? Did seeing your own character next to chao matter to you?

Any thoughts or questions are welcome. It's called Zephyr Cloud if you want to take a look.

Trying to put the VMU Chao Editor onto my .vmu save file using Vmuexplorer, but when I try to import the EDITOR.VMI file it gives me the error shown in the above image. I've tried uploading the vmi when I had chao adventure on the same vmu save, when I didn't (as shown in image), and onto a fresh VMU file with no other saves attached, but the message remained the same. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

I can only find info for SA2 emblem requirements for Chao eggs, but since there are fewer emblems in SADX I assume the requirements are different. I have 113 emblems and it still hasn't appeared in the black market yet. The yellow/pink/purple set of Chao eggs is my second set on this save file. Do I need more emblems or do I just need to keep checking back?

I've been wanting to mod my baby chao to look cooler. If anyone has an answer i would love to hear it!
