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:


  • Day/Night cycle

  • In-game clock

  • Weather and seasons (affects temp)

  • Yearly calendar

  • Monthly forecasts

  • Tank temperature

  • Holidays

  • Saving/Loading with GameJolt (primitive but it works)

  • Breeding (including genetics, egg hatching, etc.)

  • A handful of new fish designs, most of which have to do with holidays/time (not all)

  • A handful of new decor you can unlock (not very much but some)

  • Fixed fish stock per day (except free fish)

  • Per-day market saturation to prevent spamming fish

  • All fish have a desired temp

  • Nearly all stats of a species can be bred out

  • Environmental factors affect eggs

This is basically a different game lol, I've been keeping busy.

WIP of a space pack (unrelated to the cosmic fish)

Working on a song for the desert. Unsure if this will make it in, but I felt like making it.

The movement system in the previous project (Unity) was heavily geared for 2.5D and would require major updates to adapt to full 3D so I remade the entire Godot system in Unity from scratch. + An outline shader test

🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡

Experimenting with bigger tank sizes, it will allow more fish, more decoration, and new leviathan class fish, such as this new species D0LPH1N_ALPHA_V3. Of course it will come with a heavy price.

Remade the weird sky in Unity. I had to make the sun a physical 3D object with CPU code not GPU which is more expensive, but other than that it's all GPU (including sun rotation and pulsing)

I think I have a bit too much fun writing the wiki. Shoutout to the 5% of players that read all of this lol.

Finished up the update for my aquarium simulation game. Manage many different exotic and occult fish species in your own personal tank. It also includes a breeding and genetic system. Play for free on the web here at GameJolt!

I had some really hard difficulties figuring out the code for this. There was a lot of issues. I ended up just duct taping code from the first game cutting all 2.5D stuff + adding new stuff. Also this showcases BLJ for good measure lol (sorta a bug)

Went on a really big side quest today with audio, but audio is fine for now. I have decided to give my core mechanic a little experiment. So I've been setting up the systems for it. Portals felt right.
