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.

When an egg is active, it will be placed in the tank. You can get a ton of interesting colors based on your fish species!

Macroquad's 3D is actually a lot more in depth than I thought, my first impressions are pretty good.

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.

It was revealed to me in a dream I needed to add a wall jump, so I did. It reminds me a lot of Mario Sunshine.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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%
