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!

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 a protagonist for a game concept. She doesn't have a name. I'm using split pixel art + puppet animation. Thoughts on a 3D collectathon with some Paper Mario elements?

Super cool new feature! 🧪

I had to make a tool to rapidly design levels, ended up creating a fairly intuitive level editing system, might ship it with the game as an actual feature.

A few things: More visual feedback, randomized game over message, sound, and I did way more work on momentum. The player isn't using physics because I wanted it extremely deterministic, so I ended up hard coding a lot of the "momentum". Still neat.

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.

I've been tinkering with a spherical Minecraft-like voxel toy. Makes me want to make a small game with this tech. More info below.

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

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.

A prototype of my 3D collectathon concept. Very very early development. It's about being a 2D character in a 3D world. A strange blend of A Hat in Time/Banjo Kazooie/SM64, and Paper Mario.
