Petz Dogz 2 - Tumblr Posts
@northpawville 's Pawville Prompt Week: Day 1 / Protagonist
Lots of choices I could have made from the past many years, but I decided eventually on drawing Pommy, the pomeranian I used in a speedrun recently. Her absolute priority is getting things done as quick as possible! As a result, she believes accessories are usually a waste of time, but you can't say she's not adorable imo
You may be cool, but you’ll never be Victor from Petz Dogz 2 for the Nintendo Wii©️ cool...
I now have the world record in both any% and 100% for petz dogz 2!
but at what cost...
benefits include: lying to your fish studies group and then getting that kid to help you by telling them to catch a fish that doesnt exist am i right petz catz/dogz 2 for wii and ps2 gang
Happy 14th birthday to Yukes' Petz Dogz 2 and Petz Catz 2! (Initial release date: 14th Nov 2007)
Yuke's are apparently best known for making the WWE games, which was news to me, someone who only knew about them from their trio of Wii/PS2 animal adventure games.
Petz Catz 2 and Dogz 2 were first released in North America, and Europe wouldn't get their version, named just Dogz and Catz, until November 30. Japan got it in December with new cover art and named something else entirely - Nyanko/Wanko to Mahou no Boushi (Kitten/Puppy and the Magic Hat), otherwise the same game but with no references to Petz at all.
The PC and DS games, despite sharing the same name and cover art, have no relation and are about raising a pet rather than stopping a wolf from destroying the world.
man the history of this game is sure something.
(Also, it's a crime for me not to mention THE DOG Island, also by Yuke's and released earlier that year - it has near the same gameplay, but has a different story, different areas to explore, and is imo a better game. Still like this one though!)
what are things you could confidently info dump about? if I needed a beginner’s course on something, what could I go to you about?
Since the original Pawville Prompts was so long ago and I've heard there may be a new one in the works, I decided to represent the final few days of the original prompts by grouping them together into a handful of scribbles ft. one decent Bartholomew. That said, I did have plenty of big ideas for the original week that I may still draw in the future (or perhaps even some writing?). More info on my "answers" to the prompts under the read more!
Day 4: Townsfolk
My favourite NPC is Bartholomew. I came to see him as one of the most interesting characters, even though we see so little of him. He may only be around for 5 minutes at the end of the game, but he's around forever in my heart.
Day 5: Day Out
My favourite area is Jade Fields - it has such calm music and is just a nice place to be. I also like how even though it's one of the first places you visit, it leads to one of the last, with Lonesome Park having a much different atmosphere. There's a real contrast there and I think it's good for both of them
Day 6: Hat Stealer
Fun fact - Ivlet actually never speaks again after he escapes from jail, his last line being "I've been waiting for this...!" It's not really related to the week, but I found it interesting when I realised it. I'm also interested in drawing his different form(s) at some point, since they seem quite underrepresented in fanart. Can't forget the dragon as well.
(i really ran out of juice for this drawing sorry)
Day 7: Free Day
My original idea for this day was redrawing the Japanese boxart, but having a mix of dog and cat designs, or maybe even including both. I've been quite biased towards the cat designs because they're the ones I'm used to, but this is cartainly one way of evening things out. I don't know if I'm ever going to do this, though, so if someone else wants to try it, please please do!
And finally:
There are so many amazingly skilled artists among the fans of this game and it's awesome to see. I'm looking forward to what the future has in store :D
Pawville Prompts: Running Errands
I was going to have Kenneth and Charles in here, but I think I've reached my limit for the time I can put into one drawing atm. Still, was a lot of fun to do! Catch you next week where wizards. again
Realised I never finished Pawville prompts 2, so here's the last of the weekly set: "The Final Battle!"
There's not a whole lot of art out there for Ivlet's final boss form. Much like the rest of the event, it was pretty fun ^^ I may be coming back again next year for the monthly prompts!
Pawville prompts: Waking Up
Back at it again with the year-round prompts this time! I just was not feeling "oh protag is waking up at the start of the game" so WHO ELSE WAKES UP? SKREE SKREEEE FLAP FWAP FLAP

Pawville Prompts: Exploring the Unknown
There were two things on my mind for this - 1. Years ago, I wondered what sort of area I could come up with for the game if I could make my own. I ended up with this ocean/glacier type place near Polar Fields, which had sharks and seals and you could explore underwater. ...Probably ill-advised for a cold place, but we can decide the wizards have a spell or magical object to counteract it ahaha
2. I'm sure a few of us could relate to being at Dolphin Coast, finding out you can swim and wondering how far out you can go (especially with an island visibly there). The answer might be not far, but it didn't stop me from dreaming of exploring the unknown...
See you guys next month for more funny little animal drawings!! and thank you so much @northpawville for setting up the prompts this way i have been loving this
