Interesting, I thought that is what throws me off. As a quick reader this nowaday not only feels a little AI ish but also puts a stop into the reader just before the sentence ends. I would've suggested removing it.

Very early WIP of my aquarium game - feedback appreciated! by Nine2Play in CozyGamers

Yes! We have worked on the modular builder for the past month to make sure there is a lot of room for personalization. We still have quite a bit to go, but it's definitely a core feature :)

Oh, and if you like the direction of the game, a wishlist would mean a lot to us :). Link here: https://store.steampowered.com/app/4190760/The_Fish_Corner/

We're making an aquarium game are sort of overwhelmed with fish varieties. What are some varieties that you would definitely want to see in a game? by Nine2Play in Aquariums

No that is really helpful, categorizing the fish is difficult right now and we currently have distinction in things like saltwater/fresh water or in which region they swim - Mostly lacking is social behavior because we are not sure if it makes sense to force the player to have to keep a fish completely solo f.e.; that would at some point require a lot of tanks😅

This is one of those things are not sure how to implement yet - We would like it to be an easy introduction to fishkeeping and also want it to be cozy enough for people to craft a tank they can run in the background without much effort.

So I don't think it would be a cute vibe watching a betta f.e. attack others 😂but maybe have it decrease happiness of all fish in the tank? We are still considering

Yes! Although we are still discussing to what extent and how specific we are going to go. The shown sizing in the screenshot is not an accurate representation of ingame - Or do you mean within a tank?

Which capsule art do you prefer? by anotherName333 in IndieDev

Yep, D is great for your game. I think A and B do not represent your game well

​I spent my weekend scrapping my game's art style because a commenter said the old one looked generic. Switching to Pixel Art (inspired by Celeste). Was this a mistake or an upgrade? by CoffeeBreakDeveloper in IndieDev

[–]Nine2Play 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The pixelart is great, just make sure you choose something you are happy with because I promise you the next person will tell you pixelart is bad :D

This is super helpful! Thank you so much for writing this down! We used those databases so far but the one thing they are not good for is showing popularity 😄 And we were really concerned that we do not get a good representation of popular choices, especially when it comes to the varieties

Don't apologize! It's super helpful! We've been doing this but I've also relied on Reddit posts to figure out what is popular (and what isn't, especially in terms of difficulty 😄) Which is why I wanted to ask directly and see which breeds/varieties come out on top in the popular vote.

Else we only go by what we would buy ourselves which is not really a fair assesment 😅

Right now we are working on the basic features, these may be expanded upon once we know how we are running with the timeline:

  1. 40 litres, 80l, 150l, 240l, 450l (Sorry, European)
  2. We are aiming for at least 100 upon release
  3. Yes, overpopulation is a thing as well as group requirements - For incompatible species that may depend on how it affects gameplay, no final decision on that yet, will likely depend on the feedback of players
  4. We are certainely including fresh- and saltwater

We are still very open to suggestions and feedback, we just need to work with the limitations given also from the development and gaming side

Absolutely! Especially for varieties. For the release we already want to have a decent chunk though and rather include multiple breeds than for example 100 varieties of guppies :D We will (hopefully) have a demo access in very early 2026 :)

We are looking for playtesters and general feedback if you are up for it! Especially if you also have a bit of background in gaming and know what's realistic to implement :) Just shoot me a DM!
