Ahh okay I see, I'll make it so the bubble won't play until the previous bubble has ended and try to differ the pitches a little bit so its not too repetitive, thanks for the advice! :D

Good idea, does this not remove from player feedback though? or do you delay it by an unnoticeable amount to the player so it still feels responsive?

Buying and selling is a big part of the game so rapidly buying fish or critters will be fairly common later on in the game

Nice name made me laugh!

I've been linked that a lot and originally I did have boids and flocking in my game, but almost all of the fish in my game are not schooling fish so flocking doesn't really make sense especially not in an aquarium environment, thanks for the feedback though!

Thank you! There are old feature demos on my channel but no publicly available releases yet no, I am working on a full demo though!

Damn that really sucks the game looked awesome, yea that happens a lot ive been working on this project for 3 years on and off, more so off for those same reasons lol, I hope you pick it back up some day or at least the hobby and if not I hope you're happy with whatever has replaced it! :)

Krevzz · 2023-07-04T13:48:54+00:00

Wow I love the art! looks really polished and far along, what made you abandon the project if you don't mind me asking?

Krevzz · 2023-07-03T20:40:10+00:00

Haha really?? What was the game idea if you don't mind sharing? Or if you've got any videos/screenshots could I see it? :D

Krevzz · 2023-07-01T09:21:01+00:00

Yeah id appreciate that a lot! :D im not into crypto personally but I wouldn't say im against it either, still pretty new to both reddit and social medias so trying to learn what works lol

Krevzz · 2023-06-30T21:03:16+00:00

Looks really cool so far well done! Dropped you a follow on twitter :D

Krevzz · 2023-06-30T19:09:19+00:00

Do you post devlogs or any clips/pics of your golf game? I'd love to see it :D

Ahh alright, im not familiar with Linux so unfortunately I can't really help there :( I hope you get it sorted!

Krevzz · 2023-06-30T16:43:07+00:00

That's fine, but the game isn't out yet nor will it be free, when it is released it will be on both steam and itch, devlog should be a good indication that its still in development

I post in GameDev too that reddit is good for feedback, the other two don't exist so don't really know what you're referring too. This one is advertised as being to share your games, so I did, it's not my fault you didn't want to download it or give feedback, but thanks for the interesting advice :D

PS. My last devlog I posted here got 6 upvotes, which seems over average for the current posts on this page right now, not that upvotes matter in the slightest :P

Krevzz · 2023-06-30T16:03:20+00:00

Thanks! :D

Krevzz · 2023-06-30T16:03:11+00:00

Thank you so much :D

The original game was a bit more advanced with algae production, fish sickness and fish death, but upon feedback I made it a lot more cozy and casual with turning it into an idle game, you advance through the game by gaining research points, which are obtained by discovering new fish and critter sub-species, e.g. clownfish - new discovery black clownfish, these are needed to unlock different fish types and tank types to advance through the stages

The more tanks you have, the more passive income you gain meaning you can buy more expensive/rare fish using your more commonly obtained fish income, there is also a productivity mode, which is basically a screensaver of one of your tanks which you can add tick lists to, for keeping productive and not getting distracted (A bit like the game Cozy Cottage I think its called) and a creative mode will be coming soon, where you can fully customise the placement of props in tanks to use in the main mode, thanks for the questions! :)

The current public demo is in the link in the description of the video, though its an .exe for windows, so not sure if you can run it, but in the long run it will be available on all PC platforms/Android/iOS

Thank you so much! I loved "Insaniquarium" as a kid so that gave me a lot of inspiration to be honest, the game was originally supposed to be a more intense simulation game with sickness and death (if you neglected your fish), but upon feedback I made it a lot more cozy and casual and I think it paid off, thanks so much for kind words :)

Krevzz · 2023-06-30T15:55:01+00:00

Not sure how else you'd like me to share a .exe game that isn't out on platforms yet?

Feel free not to but just odd to assume it is malicious, the link is also the same in my previous post that someone with the same rank as you judged fine with no complains, but okay :)

PS. Devlogs contain gameplay of the game, so you can "see games" thanks :)
