Despite my recent unrelated prototype, I'm back to making 1.2.0. It will be the final content update for a while (probably). It's also relatively small. Today I was bug fixing/finishing racing, which used assets directly from the unrelated prototype.

Simple arcade-y puzzle block game prototype. It's actually pretty fun and was fairly low effort. Puzzle game coming soon maybe?

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.

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.

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.

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.

There's also going to be a few new decor objects and a few new fish in this update! Probably won't go overboard but I still have some ideas.

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.

When an egg is active, it will be placed in the tank. You can get a ton of interesting colors based on your fish species!

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.

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