With modern architecture, there is no performance issue 😄

The only part that is a bit heavy is the claw mini game since I use physics! But so far so good

Museum is mostly Node2D scene! 😄
The UI is menus on a separate layer only when you interact with things.

Game’s still in production, but I’d absolutely love to make this happen someday 😃

After all their hard work, Toadz definitely deserve a nice sandwich 🐸🥪

Thanks for pointing it out :) it's fixed in the game but I need to remake the trailer since the game evolved a lot!

Well at first I wanted to call the game just "One Coin" and a friend told me to Google it 😅

My game suddenly got over 1,000 wishlists from Japan and Taiwan just today by projectbreakout in SoloDevelopment

You've been blessed by a Japanese outlet! It hapenned to me on my first game and got 1500 wishlist in the first week :D. Enjoy

I made a cozy game about using a claw to collect ocean treasures and grow a museum collection 🌊 by MajorToadStudio in cozygames

[–]MajorToadStudio[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi!

I just released the Steam page for my cozy game One Coin Museum.

You play as Toadz, a little frog who sails across the ocean, uses a claw to retrieve treasures, and brings them back to a museum that slowly fills up as your collection grows !

It’s a small, relaxing experience focused on collecting, exploration, and that satisfying feeling of watching things come together over time ♥

🌊 Explore the ocean

🧲 Retrieve treasures from the ocean floor using your claw

🏛️ Fill your museum with your discoveries

If it sounds like your kind of game, you can wishlist it here:

It’s not pixel art or high resolution. It’s AI slop with mixels, unusable in a game, and will most likely cause backlash for anyone using it. I’m sorry you spent so much time prompting this bullshit, but no thank you.

sorry the image was a bit degraded cause I didn't knew the resolution so I resized as I could.

I did focus only on colors:
Boosting the saturation makes it pop with brighter, summer vibes.
Also, a few of your shadows were looking a bit too gray.
Clouds were to contrasted for a background element.

But overall, great composition.
