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.

Working on the procedural techs, you might end up with smaller tech trees or these giant tech trees, or somewhere in between.

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.

After spending hours debugging a CPU player, I gave up and added a timer instead. Also made this sprite of my OC who may or may not be the protagonist. She even reacts to combos. I still have ideas of how I can expand the timer + more ideas for the game.

Working on some game juice and the new "special" block

I have released a major update for my fish simulation/tycoon game FinLab! It includes a deep breeding system, a time of day, yearly calendar, holidays, and more. It's out now for free on WebGL!

Been working on a lot of game feel, UI polish. And I got some feedback externally. It's so juicy and nice to play. The core loop is done, now I just need to add content and things

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.

Super cool new feature! 🧪

I had to make a tool to rapidly design levels, ended up creating a fairly intuitive level editing system, might ship it with the game as an actual feature.

Spent a lot of time fixing bugs today. Turns out the trading bug from before was not fixed, but now it works. But this is (technically) a trail and trade spin off so I added this arcade-y -+ resource text on buildings. Pretty cool.

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!
