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!

Been working on a lot of game feel, UI polish. And I got some feedback externally. It's so juicy and nice to play. The core loop is done, now I just need to add content and things

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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?

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%
