Discover which of Tomodachi Life personality types you are - Tomodachi Life Personality

# Product Hunt First Comment - Creator Statement --- ## 💙 Official Creator First Comment (Recommended) ``` Hey everyone! 👋 I'm so excited to share Tomodachi Personality Calculator with you today! This project started as a nostalgic joke with my friends: "Wait, what's YOUR Tomodachi personality type?" None of us could remember the exact trait combinations from the game, so... I built a calculator. **Why this matters to me:** Tomodachi Life was more than just a game—it was a creativity sandbox where you built relationships, nurtured Miis, and created hilarious stories. The personality system was genuinely clever: 4 dimensions, 4 levels each, creating 16 unique archetypes. It perfectly captured *why* Miis felt alive. **What we built:** Two ways to discover your type: 1. 🎛️ **Sliders** - Adjust traits instantly and see results in real-time (perfect for quick testing) 2. 🎯 **Quiz** - Answer personality questions and get guided to your type (deeper, more narrative) The design is intentionally retro—we wanted it to *feel* like a DS game brought to the web. Warm colors, chunky UI, satisfying animations. No ads, no tracking, fully open source. **Special thanks to:** - The Tomodachi Life community for keeping this game alive 20+ years later - r/tomodachilife for inspiring conversations about the personality system - My beta testers who answered countless "which personality are you?" questions 😄 **We'd love to hear from you:** → What's YOUR type? Does it match your real personality? → Should we expand this to other Nintendo personality systems? → Found a bug or have a feature idea? Jump on GitHub! This is a passion project, made by fans, for fans. If you loved Tomodachi Life even half as much as we do, I think you'll find something fun here. Give it a try and let me know what you think! 🎮✨ [GitHub] [Website] [Twitter] ``` --- ## 🔥 Community-Focused Version ``` Dear Product Hunt community, Remember Tomodachi Life? That quirky Nintendo DS game where you created digital doppelgangers, set them loose, and watched the chaos unfold? We do. And we never got over it. Today, we're reviving one of our favorite features: the personality quiz! 🎮 **The story:** During COVID, I kept thinking about that personality creation screen. The sliders, the instant personality preview, the way it perfectly captured character archetypes. It was *genius UX* for a 2013 game. So I built a web version. But not just a copy—I wanted to create something that would: ✨ Feel authentically retro (Nintendo DS vibes are eternal) ✨ Work on any device (phones didn't exist when Tomodachi Life came out!) ✨ Be 100% free and open (because great fan projects should be) **What you get:** → 16 personality types from the original game mechanics → Interactive sliders OR guided personality quiz → Shareable results (finally tell friends your type!) → Zero tracking, no signups, no BS **Real talk:** This is made by one person who spent way too much time recreating Tomodachi Life's personality algorithm and designing it to look like 2013 called and wanted its UI back. It's not a million-dollar startup. It's a love letter to a game that deserved better online recognition. **What we need from you:** - Try it out and tell us which type you are - Share it with other Tomodachi Life fans - If you find bugs, report them (I'm actively maintaining this!) - If you have ideas, the GitHub discussions are open The Tomodachi Life community is surprisingly active in 2026. Let's celebrate that! 🎮 Play now: [link] 💻 Contribute: [GitHub] 💬 Chat with us: [Discord invite] p.s. – If you made a Mii in Tomodachi Life, you already know your type. This calculator just confirms what the game already knew about you. 😉 ``` --- ## 😄 Casual & Humorous Version ``` Okay so here's the thing about Tomodachi Life: It released in 2013. It's now 2026. Nobody has stopped playing it. And somehow, NOBODY ever built a web version of that personality quiz. Until now. 🎮 **What is this?** You answer some questions (or wiggle sliders around), and we tell you which of 16 Tomodachi personalities you are. It's free, it's silly, it works on your phone. **Why does this exist?** Because I spent 3 hours last month explaining to my friends what a "reserved but energetic" personality means in Tomodachi terms, and I was like... "I could just make a website instead of doing this every time." So here we are. **What can you do?** → Find out your Tomodachi type (there's literally no downside) → Share it with friends and start personality debates → Contribute to the code if you're into that → Just vibe with some retro DS UI aesthetics The design is intentionally nostalgic. If you played Tomodachi Life, this should feel instantly familiar. If you didn't... well, now you have an excuse to finally understand what all the fuss is about. **The ask:** Give it a shot. Tell us which type you are. Break it for us if you can (we'll fix it 😅). And if this gets enough love, maybe I'll build personality calculators for other Nintendo games. Imagine: - Animal Crossing personality types - Fire Emblem archetype matcher - Splatoon team role finder But first things first—let's see if Tomodachi fans are ready for their renaissance! 🎮 Play: [link] 📱 Mobile-friendly & works offline 🤝 Open source (MIT) 💬 Comments & ideas welcome!
