🧪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).

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 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?

Game devs should add more silly features to their games that serve no purpose. For my game on every game over there's a random condescending death message. Took a whole 5 minutes to add. Here are some possible messages:

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:

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

With my fake internet wiki, I added a joke fish called the "catfish". It's an early game variant of the foxfish unlocked with a semi-secret through the internet. It does count for 100%. This is something sick me at 2AM thought of.

I've been brainstorming different collectible ideas, and my partner had the stupidest idea. Pineapples. So I modeled this pineapple in Blender (took way longer than anticipated).

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!

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.
