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!

Through sheer determination I got it up and running. It ain't much but it was very cool! Wouldn't mind making a game jam length game in VR.

Spent a lot of time fixing bugs today. Turns out the trading bug from before was not fixed, but now it works. But this is (technically) a trail and trade spin off so I added this arcade-y -+ resource text on buildings. Pretty cool.

Working on the procedural techs, you might end up with smaller tech trees or these giant tech trees, or somewhere in between.

I have built some new stuff. Tiles now have yields (civ style), tech tree got a visual pass, and now you can see a heads up on what's being sent/taken/produced.

Sorry for the spam lol but one more thing, snow visuals are improved. Including a slight frosted glass effect and way more dense snow. Winters are very snowy in FinLab! Snowstorms can last days.

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.

After spending hours debugging a CPU player, I gave up and added a timer instead. Also made this sprite of my OC who may or may not be the protagonist. She even reacts to combos. I still have ideas of how I can expand the timer + more ideas for the game.

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.

Been working on a lot of game feel, UI polish. And I got some feedback externally. It's so juicy and nice to play. The core loop is done, now I just need to add content and things
