🎉 That's right! Fishtronomy is Here! 🐟🌌
Despite a few small delays behind the scenes that caused us to move from our initially planned late-November launch into early-December, Fishtronomy is now officially available for release! You can now dive into the game, (get it? Dive? Like… fish… water? That sounded better in my head), and experience the small-scale cosmic adventure through space first hand – a space filled with way, way too many fish. And one quirky guide to help you through it all.
What Can You Expect from Fishtronomy?
- Silly, physics-based interactions between fish that’ll make you think (and also that get very, very chaotic).
- Minimalistic mixed art-style, featuring starry space-themed visuals with cozy pixel art.
- A relaxing yet cosmic soundtrack to accompany your journey. (Composed by the very talented Cris "Ariyassa" Luu)
- A little story about the cosmos, fish, mysterious beasts lurking in the night sky, and everything in between.
A quick fishtrospective:
Developing Fishtronomy over the past few months has been a very fun, interesting, and informative process. From brainstorming different ways that the game could be expanded and improved from the original concept it was based on to crafting a small, simple, but still interesting and fun narrative to tie everything together. This project has truly been a fun and passionate one.
From humble roots as a jam game (which had a way more confusing name) to a full Steam release, no matter how small of a release that is, Fishtronomy has had a very wonderful, exciting, sometimes terrifying, but very fun development journey, and hopefully the game reflects that by being fun to play in turn.
Okay, now what?
The game is now fully released on Steam but that doesn’t mean it’s over quite yet! Currently there’s an update being worked on which should be available later this month (December) that aims to address some of the most common suggestions and feedback that the game has already received since launch, which will hopefully make the game even better moving forward!
With all of this said…
🛒 Fishtronomy is available now—hopefully you love it as much as we’ve loved making it.
See you among the stars! 🌠
