What do you think?

Really love how this looks so far, the Frutiger Aero theme is nice to look at, it reminds me of old Playrix games back in like 2014 (Specifically Fishdom)

I'll be checking it out once it comes out in November, excited to play this! ^^

Very promising!

The whole thing just brings a peaceful vibe.
Definitely coming back when it releases in November!

Main Theme
 

FinLab is a pet simulator and tycoon management blend about raising, managing, and selling fish. The fish however are a variety bizarre and strange fish species. Your goal is to keep them happy and satisfied, to sell them to buy even more exotic fish.

Unlock strange fish such as fruit themed fish, to undead skeleton fish, to satanic manta rays, and more. Exploration and discovery is key to your success.

FinLab also contains an in depth breeding and genetics simulation, which allow you to breed any attribute on any fish in and out.

There are also tank themes and decorations to unlock to design your own tank. It's your tank and your own sandbox.

Some holidays in FinLab will be very similar to our real holidays, where as some are made up. They provide passive buffs that day, for example sell price/stock, egg progression, etc.

The last bit of content is added. Now it's time for balancing/QA. I don't know how long this will take (I'm expecting a lot of bugs), but I'm hoping to have it out ASAP. Here's a teaser of what's in store for the Time & Temp update:

I'm working on a holiday system, it's the last major feature. Then I need to QA/Bug fix. Added some new fish/decor, most of which have to do with the holidays but it's nothing insane. However so many new systems are in, QA is going to be awful.

Status on the update: It still needs some bugfixing, a lot of QA, and I still have a bit more content to add. Hoping to get it out very soon but this is quite a large update.

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.

Kind of a boring feature but worth mentioning, with your Gamejolt account I'll save a fairly primitive serialization of your game state with a save/load system. I did something similar with Trail & Trade. It's just tricky to figure out bugs.

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!

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.

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.

🧪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).
