I don't know that's one of few reason why I should wait until I have reach the beta version.
And I don't know why I should give users a game and the game will be crash (frequently).

Have you considered mapping colour layers of varying opacity over a base chao texture to produce a more dynamic form of colour genetics?
By having the colour on a separate layer, you can set it very low opacity for basic chao to leave the natural tones showing and high for monotone shop chao to keep all the patterning but change the naturally shifting colours to a fixed one. You can then semi-randomly blend the colour layers and opacity value for two chao when making their child, so as to create a more natural and unique looking offspring, with the degree of each parents colour that is passed on varying randomly across the chao to allow dedicated players to breed patterns.
Shine could then be on a third layer and also scale in opacity to determine its strength but would only have one texture so not require the saving of an image file like colour would.

I want to add bump-mapping textures for more reality graphics.

How far does that grass extend past what we can currently see? The picture is mostly water and so a terrible design for non-swimmers.

I am not sure which language I should use for the release.
So I'm changing from C++ to C# and back.

The tools like "Texture Mod", "Updater" etc.
I have programmed in Visual C#.

edit:

You want to know?
Currently I am using Unity with C#.
And additionally I try to use C++ (Without any Game Engine).

But I want to change to Unreal Engine 4 but I am unsure.

Also, I use Unity furthermore.

edit2:

I want to release "Chao World" for Windows, Mac & Linux soon.
Now I got Autodesk 3DS Max, so I can create smooth animations and more.

1. The music is from an Chao Island User.
2. Of course I could add a time period for example:

10 Minutes are 1 hour.
140 Minutes are 1 day.

Also, I can transition from morning to midday and from midday to evening and evning to night and night back to morning.
this could be possible but I must modify my currently skybox system.

edit:

This game has now support or surround 5.1.
More dev updates can you see on the official Chao World forums.

edit2:

Animated Water now inserted into the game.

I'm not a modeler but I have some fairly clean sound rips for the UI (the confirm and back sounds, chao picking up animals/chaos drives, etc.) as well as mostly clean rips of the many voice clips Chao make. The voice clips sound grainy just because of being recorded back in dreamcast days, but I doubt you'll really find clearer unless you redo them yourself.

Also, a few English corrections for that list :D
these aren't major grammatical corrections (I wouldn't worry about full proper grammar until you're polishing everything up, unless you want to get it out of the way),
but mostly I'll point out some noticeable things.

If by Heat Minded you mean the Chao gets angry easily, Hot-headed is the more common term in English.
I think it was just a misspelling but you wrote hero as here.
Your Chao is getting worse works a bit better than gets more worse (if you were going for that 'archaic RPG' feel for that line ignore this, cause it sounds like it)
If 'your Chao happens something wrong' means they did something bad, you might wanna say 'did something wrong'.
instead of implanted, you can just use planted, since it's referring to a tree (as opposed to something non-natural, though it technically works.)
'You've unlocked a new garden' as opposed to 'you've become a new garden' (I believe you meant that as getting a new garden, in which case, the correction works better. :thinking: )

Those are the only glaring details, the rest is just small grammar which as I said, can be patched up later. :D

Amazing work so far, I'm very impressed with how much progress you've made in such a little amount of time.

Well, as little as almost a year.

Still though, keep up this great work. Sadly, I've no game making skills and can only offer you encouragement, but don't give up! This is very promising.
