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.

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%

I ended up really disliking my road trip game, so I'm experimenting some more. Cooked a quick A* implementation, it's such a pain to set up but it's much nicer than Unity NavMesh. (It mostly works :P)

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.

Steam Deck! Running on the LCD model but should run on the OLED just fine.

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.

Been running some art style experiments. I kinda wanted the sprites to pop a bit more and blend easier, as well as going back to my original vision for the game. So trying 4:3 + CRT shader + some pixelization + sprite outlines. I need to test it on Linux.

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!

Actually got my A* working and optimized. It's not my first time coding A*, but it's still a really neat algorithm.
