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.

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.

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.

Working on a breeding mechanic. You might be able to breed egg specific mutations that can benefit or harm your fish. Some are visual only such as markings on the fish, but other factors are things such as social level, rarity, required water and temps.

By winning races, you will earn a new currency called sea dollars. You can spend this currency to unlock a random novelty duck (no duplicates). These are new decor items that count to 100%

Working on some game juice and the new "special" block

🧪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).

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.

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.

FinLab 1.1.0 (Time & Temp) is here! This update brings a more mechanically deep experience, changes to the core loop, some fixes/changes + some more fish and decor, there is a LOT so here is the full changelog below:
