What do you think?

Really love how this looks so far, the Frutiger Aero theme is nice to look at, it reminds me of old Playrix games back in like 2014 (Specifically Fishdom)

I'll be checking it out once it comes out in November, excited to play this! ^^

Very promising!

The whole thing just brings a peaceful vibe.
Definitely coming back when it releases in November!

Main Theme
 

FinLab is a pet simulator merged with a tycoon game. Manage an ecosystem of fictional fish species ranging from fruit themed fish to undead skeleton fish. Discovery is key. Uncover many different fish species all with their own behaviors and needs.

As a tank owner, your goal is to keep your fish as satisfied and as happy as possible, and sell them back for a profit. Alongside this, you can also unlock many different decoration items and themes to design your own personal tank.

It's your tank, your way. Discover this ecosystem of unique and bizarre fish species in a Frutiger Aero themed world. Be creative, be strategic, be evil, be good, no one can decide except you.

New in the Time & Temp update (1.1.0):

  • Breeding - If your tank is not max population and you have 2 of the same species in the tank, there is an uncommon chance of an egg being bred

  • Eggs - Eggs live in your tank or in storage, if they're in the tank they will eventually hatch with updated genetics. The environment the tank is in affects the genetics of the egg.

  • Genetics - Each species has a base parent gene, hatching an egg appends the last parent gene. You can change temps, water type, markings on the fish, and more. Your egg may lean towards these factors or generate an aversion

  • Time of day, weather, seasons - Each season contains holidays, a forecast, and weather which affects temps and adds new visuals. Days and years are tracked.

  • Holidays - On holidays passive buffs will be applied including egg rates, sale price, stock, and unlocks

  • Tank Temperature - Your tank has a temp that is changeable, but will slowly return back to the environmental neutral which is measured by season + weather. Fish have desired temperatures now (which can be bred out)

I got my test fish racing scene hooked up to the normal tank scene. The game now holds onto your save data in memory and loads it on return (this works for non-signed in users too). You can choose a species, genes and markings apply. It's very unpolished.

Even though I've been programming for years, sometimes computers confuse me. Just found the weirdest bug fix in a while.

Incredibly rough proof of concept for a racing minigame (Chao garden-like). I'm prototyping seasonal minigames which may net you unique rewards. Breeding also matters a lot here, higher breeding level = faster fish. Made in about 2 hours.

With my fake internet wiki, I added a joke fish called the "catfish". It's an early game variant of the foxfish unlocked with a semi-secret through the internet. It does count for 100%. This is something sick me at 2AM thought of.

Also in development is a pause functionality. It pauses all game time (including notifications). Just a minor QOL.

Doing this silly feature to go along with my Y2K aesthetic. I'm making a fake internet for the game that also serves as an in-universe guide. The writing is terrible, I binged this feature in like 2 hours with the stomach flu.

An update on a potential 1.2.0:

I have a lot more ideas for this game! But I'm pretty tired after 1.1.0, so I'm going to take 1.2.0 somewhat slow. I don't want to share any details yet, it probably won't be as huge of a change though (probably).

I have released a major update for my fish simulation/tycoon game FinLab! It includes a deep breeding system, a time of day, yearly calendar, holidays, and more. It's out now for free on WebGL!

1.1.3 - Saving patch

Fixes:

- When loading a save sometimes it would visually only show 2 current days in the calendar

Changes:

- Placed decor and current theme now save

I'm about ship out a somewhat note worthy saving update. If you already have a save, I'm trying to design it in a way where you can still use your old save without crashing/errors, but give me like a half an hour lol
