And we have ground aquatic animals! In this case I modeled a cute trilobite (which is funny because atm it's the only real animal in the game lol). This could easily extend to crabs or slugs/snails. Their behavior isn't that complex though.

I think I have a bit too much fun writing the wiki. Shoutout to the 5% of players that read all of this lol.

The post-game prehistoric pack is done, it still needs to be unlocked without cheats, but I'll get to that. Also might tweak the theme color a bit.

Smaller fish pack, contains the mummyfish and the anubisfish, + a new water + a pyramid decor + a new theme.

Working on my 2d art skills, threw together this simple top down demo. I have a vague idea for a game I want to prototype. It's setup in a way where I can easily swap the sprites of each body part, good for armor, hats, etc.

That's absolutely wild. 3 solo games and one collab later, here I am. Glad to make GameJolt my home!

Spent a few hours today remaking some Sims build mode functionality. Not really making a game with it atm, just a curiosity. Walls are unbelievably jank, but not bad for a couple hours. I'm mostly messing with the system in case I make something like it.

Finished up the update for my aquarium simulation game. Manage many different exotic and occult fish species in your own personal tank. It also includes a breeding and genetic system. Play for free on the web here at GameJolt!

WIP of a space pack (unrelated to the cosmic fish)
