Game: Dog park clean up

Hello.

1. Would you like this to be a 2D or 3D game? This will determine the choice of technologies, budget, and scope of work. 2D is simpler and cheaper to develop. If it is 2D, then the choice will most likely fall on pixi.js, and if it is 3D, then it will most likely be three.js. This is all pure native web implementation (webgl, webgpu).
2. There is a question regarding the strict binding that 1 removed poop = +1 new dog. I think this will cause undesirable effects from a game design perspective. It turns out that if the player always keeps the number of poops below 10, then each collected poop is a plus dog, and the number of dogs will increase too rapidly.
3. The level of polish, including from a game design perspective, depends on the budget. Because with a small budget, there will be no time for polish at all.
4. I am a developer, but not a 2D/3D artist, not an animator, and not a sound designer. But I can help you with the technical specifications for these specialists, and in general, I can consult on all issues during development; you will not be alone.
5. My examples of 2D work are mainly on pixi.js and in the igaming field, and in 3D, there are only small works not related to games. Nevertheless, there will be no doubt about my technical base; everything will be done professionally.
6. You have written in the requirements "protection against cheaters." Will this be an online game? Because in the case of single-player games, it is not worth worrying about this at all and spending large amounts of money that could go into the game itself.
7. Regarding deadlines and budget. Game development is too creative and uncertain in time to do it for a fixed price within a fixed timeframe. The more money and time, the better the game turns out. Games can generally be improved almost indefinitely. I would like to create the perfect game with you, but for this, I need to provide the appropriate resources. For some basic version of the game that will be "just playable," only from my side (that is, not taking into account other expenses for other specialists), you can expect a price of $1000-2000 and a timeframe of up to a month. But in reality, ideally, I would like to work with you in an hourly format, as this format will allow us to release a truly polished and high-quality Game with a capital G.

Hi Kiril,

My name is Pavlo, I am a game developer with 4+ years of experience. I work with Unity, which allows me to create cross-platform games, including WebGL. I develop games of any level of complexity.

I have carefully studied your project and would be happy to help with its implementation.
Please tell me, should this be a 2D or a 3D game? Do you already have ready-made graphic assets for the game?

Here are some examples of my work:

Hello Kiril
creating a game with your son is a special project, and I’d be excited to help bring it to life. I have experience developing polished, casual web games with clean code and engaging gameplay, and I believe this concept has great potential.
I specialize in HTML5/WebGL game development using Phaser.js , which is ideal for creating bright, performant, and scalable browser-based games. I have worked on several family and child-friendly projects, ensuring they are visually appealing, intuitive, and bug-free.

Hello.
I was interested to learn about your project. I am confident that I can do effective and quality work that meets your requirements and expectations. I have over 8 years of experience. I am ready to discuss the details and start working. I will be waiting for your response, feel free to write and we can discuss.

Hello! I absolutely love the concept. Building a game based on an idea you came up with together with your son is a fantastic project, and I would be honored to help bring it to life. Moving from Roblox to a WebGL (Web based) game is the right decision. This will allow anyone to play instantly via a link on any device (PC, Tablet, Phone) without installing an app. How I will approach this: 1. Technology Stack: I will build this using Godot Engine (or Unity). Why Godot? It is currently the best engine for WebGL games. The game files are very small, meaning it loads instantly in the browser, works on older laptops/phones, and runs very smoothly. 2. Visual Style & "The Vibe": I fully understand the requirement for "Cute, NOT gross." The "poop" will be stylized (like emojis, swirls, or candy-colored), making the cleaning process satisfyng (using "pop" sounds and nice visual effects), rather than unpleasant. The dogs will have funny, bouncy animations to keep the mood light and cheerful. 3. Game Feel (The Polish): Since the core loop is simple (Clean -> Spawn -> Wash), the secret to success is in the "Juice". I will focus on: Satisfying sound effects (ASMR-style cleaning sounds). Visual feedback (particles, bubbles during washing, happy dog barks). UI that is easy for kids to understand. My Estimate: Since you want a polished, bug-free game with potential for future updates . Timeline: ~15 days (Development + Testing). One quick question: Do you envision this as a Top-Down 2D game (like a cartoon map) or a 3D game (where you run around with a character)? I can do either, but 3D will look more impressive for this budget. Ready to start immediately!

Hello [Kiril Sharkov],

Your idea of a fun, lighthearted game about cleaning a dog park is amazing — it’s creative, family-friendly, and has a lot of potential to become a polished and delightful experience for children and families. I would love to help bring it to life!

I specialize in web-based casual games (HTML5 / WebGL) and have experience creating games with cute, engaging visuals, smooth interactions, and satisfying mechanics — exactly the kind of experience you’re looking for.

Here’s how I propose we approach your project:

Full implementation of your core mechanics:
…
Collecting poop → dogs appear → washing & grooming → repeat

Clean, colorful, fun visuals with smooth, satisfying interactions

Cute, non-offensive animations and sounds

Polished game feel:

Dogs behave playfully and react to the player

Interactive grooming and washing with simple, satisfying controls

Indicators for park cleanliness and dog appearance, keeping it intuitive for children

Progression & Rewards:

Titles and achievements for cleaning progress (e.g., “Park Helper”, “Hero of the Dog Park”)

Optional fun surprises like dogs playing, chasing balls, or small cute events

Technical approach:

HTML5 / WebGL for cross-platform web access

Clean, modular, and extendable code

Future-proof design for adding new dogs, animations, or events

I estimate the project can be completed for $1,200 over 5–7 days, with regular updates and file reviews along the way so you can provide feedback and adjustments as we progress.

I’m excited about the idea and would love to collaborate with you and your son to bring this playful, joyful game to life. I can provide examples of my previous games and animations to show the quality and polish I bring.

Let’s make this cute dog park game happen! 🐾

Best regards,
Artur
