So far I've added 13 unique fish. Some of them are really fun. Spent most of yesterday cranking them out. They're completely unbalanced but once all of them are done I'll do a huge balancing pass. Still have some more fish ideas.

🧪I am testing the concept of time and a more uncertain market. Non-free fish have fixed stock every day, and the market becomes more saturated when you output fish during the day (per species).

Teaser for a hobby game I've been working on the past couple weeks! It's a fish management game with a frutiger aero aesthetic. It combines tycoon games with a pet simulator. #FrutigerAero #Fish #GameDev #Unity #3D

🧪Testing a new feature, tank temps! Fish now have a desired temp range. This is user controlled but a) the more extreme the more expensive the daily bill is, and b) it will slowly drift to the environmental neutral (affected by season and weather).

Did you know:

In my fish game, different species have a social factor which not only affects how many peers they need to be happy, but less social fish will follow their schools less and generally will be more apathetic towards each other.

My new web game FinLab is out now for free! Manage exotic and occult fish species. And discover new species as you play. Unlock decor and themes to make your tank yours. It's your tank, your way.

What's a good time system without a weather system as a companion?

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.

After getting some feedback, I have done some tweaking to the camera. And I added a slider to control the move speed. I've also lowered the values even more. This will be in the Time & Temp update.

I've been playing this level pretty much all afternoon. The momentum is so fun. I upped the speed just for this (really puts the Accelerate in Acceleroll!) (Also sorry Apple's Emoji keyboard randomly opened)
