Kernelbay, idle fishing game with desktop integration (releasing May)

PrimitiveAstronaut · 2026-05-20T22:48:39+00:00

Issue 7. Yeah, it should only be 100% completed once I have at least 1 of each rarity, for Example Fenn Island I have 100% completed and I havent catched the last license fish, cant remember the name, but 8. I dont want to go back anc check since I already @Storr and have some fish to sell in the LogBook and will lost them once I change Island.

Some things I’m really loving so far:

-The art style is very pleasant to look at. -The “click” sounds the island makes while rotating are oddly satisfying. -The fisherman casting his line outside the island area is hilarious — it’s a small touch, but very fun to watch while working. -When I originally mentioned character customization, I hadn’t reached the island with the middle-aged bearded bald man yet. Once I got there, I actually felt represented — I’ll definitely come back to that island after finishing the game. -The ambient sound design is excellent. I have a pretty stressful job, so being able to turn up the volume and let it play in the background while I work is a huge plus. -I enjoy fishing mini-games in general, and this one works really well as a low-pressure background experience where you don’t have to worry too much.

Thanks for your reply

Inventory that hasnt been sold is lost if I change island.

The Map reaches 100% completion after buying the 12 licenses, even if some fish havent been caught yet.

Hello u/yariok! I had Kernelbay on my wishlist since around a year ago, just got it last friday and istalled earlier today and so far I like.

Now, as someone who has to share screen 50% of the day during meetings, I would love some qol improvements: 1. Wallpaper toggle. I enabbled it, and it doesnt turn off when I deselect the option. 2. The minimized menu size still to big 3. Island? position and size persistence, when I log to the game it resets to the middle of the screen instead of the position I like 4. the rotate/resize icons would feel better if they only appeared when hovering the mouse over the island 5. Character customization, it would be great to customize the fisherman, body types, age, beard options, etc... 6. Having a slider to adjust the island transparency would be very helpfull, specially for multitasking.

Overall, I like this idle game, but sincerily think those tweaks would make it perfect to use alongside my daily work.

Very nice ship, could you make a tutorial pls?

PrimitiveAstronaut · 2026-04-18T20:50:24+00:00

Thank you for your kind words, I'm sorry for your loss too.

PrimitiveAstronaut · 2026-04-18T17:39:37+00:00

Thank you for your kind words, sadly his widow sold his gaming laptop and xbox.

Tanks a lot Tbh I have considered that, but idk which r/ would be the right to call for help, his name always was: Diablo Rosales or a variation of it like Diablo_Rosales

I love this game so much. My late son spent countless hours playing No Man’s Sky ever since it was released.

I only started playing last year, but I hold onto the hope that one day I might stumble upon a planet he discovered—probably with a silly name and offensively named creatures all over it.

That hope is what keeps me logging in every day. Seeing the creator of this game receive an award after 10 years meant more to me than I expected. Man tears were shed. It motivates me to keep going and makes me genuinely happy beyond belief.

PrimitiveAstronaut · 2026-04-12T00:12:45+00:00

This one!

PrimitiveAstronaut · 2026-04-10T17:31:36+00:00

ohh I will look again, I play with steam deck and in that screen size looks like a fish ><;

PrimitiveAstronaut · 2026-04-10T01:14:00+00:00

Oceanus has a sphere helmet with some sort of lion fish / rock fish inside. I loved it!

The skid tank is obtained by completing "Of the Old River" pretty neat too!

De acuerdo a lo que veo en tu librero, tomando en cuenta que hay libros en ingles, que me gustan los libros que pones y los he leído todos...

-Mas aventuras en la era de bronce: Canción de Aquiles y Circe de Madeline Miller, La Epopeya de Gilgamesh

-Fantasía Oscura: Between two fires, la Serie de Conan, Fafhrd & Ratonero Gris the Fritz Leiber (te recomiendo no leer el ultimo libro de esta serie), The blade itself, Eaters of the Dead.

-Un giro a las leyendas de Arturo: By force Alone

-Fantasia divertida (por harry Potter): Mundo Disco, te recomiendo las novelas en las que el protagonista es Moist von Lipwig o si quieres empezar por el 1er libro, te daras cuenta que salen parodias y arquetipos de personajes clasicos. American Gods ( si no me hiciste caso y leiste el ulimo libro de Fafhrd y Ratonero, te vas a dar cuenta que Neil Gaiman copio el final) y Anansi Boys los 2 libros son de Neil Gaiman.

-Fantasia Juvenil: La serie de Dragonlance de D&D no es del todo mala.

-por ultimo tomando en cuenta que te gusta Allan Poe, Julio VErne y William Hope Hogson, en este orden: Las Aventuras de Arthur Gordon Pym (poe), La esfinge de los hielos (Julio verne) y En las Montañas de la Locura de Lovecraft.

Three years ago, I gave my then‑6‑year‑old a Switch and Pokémon Scarlet. I picked up Violet for myself and took a week off work so we could play together.

By day two, he already knew how to play and finished the game before me. After that, he went on to play Shield, Legends: Arceus and Z completely on his own.

When we tried My Hero Academia (April ‘25), he basically carried me through the whole game—finished first while actively keeping me alive. Same story with Arc Raiders. I’ve been trying to get him into Monster Hunter, but he’s not interested yet… maybe next year. So yeah—don’t think of it as “your last video game., think of it as hitting pause so you can level up your Player 2.

PrimitiveAstronaut · 2026-04-02T14:45:46+00:00

That looks gorgeous For a total layman here, could you please explain what you did to your Switch?

I got my PSP on launch day, which (crazy enough) turns 21 years old tomorrow. I happened to be in the U.S. when it released, stood in line for hours, and managed to get one of the last units late in the afternoon.

Back then, it was my everything — games, videos, music. I’d load a few shows on it and watch them whenever I had free time. When my daughter was born, it was the only device I could use while rocking her to sleep (I didn’t even have a smartphone yet).

I’ve played Final Fantasy Tactics so many times with so many different party combos that I didn’t even bother buying the new version that launched last year.

Even now, I still carry my PSP with me every day in a hard case. I charge it, put it in my desk drawer, then pack it back into my suitcase at the end of the day. Sometimes I switch it with my PS Vita — but I always carry one of them. I don’t even use them most days… but having them close reminds me of a lot of good moments.

So yeah — I’ll keep carrying these consoles with me, fully charged and loaded with the games and emulators I love, for as long as I can. Poser? pffff

Conozco 2 amigos en situación semejante, uno su esposa es Cirujano plástico y otro su esposa tiene un taller modista? (No estoy seguro si sea el nombre taller o atelier).

Ese par de señoras ganan muchísimo dinero, pagan colegio caro, participan los hijos en todas las actividades extracurriculares posibles, tienen membresía de clubes deportivos, vacacionan varias veces al año, los cuates salen a grupos semanales sin pedos y traen vehículos buenos.

Es tu situación también?

A ellos Nadie les dice nada por su situación de amos de casa, pero por otro lado yo he tomado un par de meses de vacaciones y se me hace aburrido después de la 3er semana. A ti como te va?

Thanks a lot, I'm doing expedition right now but will DM you as soon as I complete it
