Contest Announcement

[p]Hello All![/p][p][/p][p]We are excited to be close to o-fish-ally launching the Chemistry and Equipment update you all have so graciously been betta testing. Because this is such a massive update in the quality and quantity of gameplay, we want the main menu to reflect this change, and we want you to be a part of it![/p][p]We have long known that players are often MUCH BETTER tank builders than we are, so we have a challenge for you: create a main menu tank video WITH visible equipment! If your tank wins, we will add your name to the credits and shout you out in our marketing materials, so you can show off your incredible work.[/p][p][/p][p]Some parameters to consider:[/p][p]🐟 The Main Menu layout will be the same, so we need those elements to be easily visible and the center pieces of the layout.[/p][p]🐟 The depth of field is key! Visually, we still want players to understand that this game is detailed and gorgeous.[/p][p]🐟 Because this is going to be a video, water flow movement would be exciting. Try to include some wigglies to show off this new feature (see video reference below)![/p][p]🐟If possible, we would like the kind of diamond layout that is in the original menu video (1st image below). However, we are open to alternatives and would love for you to explore![/p][p][/p][p]Gord created this visually stunning moment BEFORE many of the tools in the game were available (2nd image below), so we’re excited to see your updated tanks. We’re going to include an example below of what an updated tank may look like (3rd image below).[/p][p][/p][p]To submit:[/p][p]🐟 Open the Superfins build on Steam using the instructions from the ⁠superfins channel.[/p][p]🐟 Build the main menu tank of your dreams.[/p][p]🐟 Use the tab key to put the Main Menu overlay onto your play screen.[/p][p]🐟 Use a screen capture image or video to grab a sample view of it at the angle you intend for the menu overlay to sit.[/p][p]🐟 Post the image/video in the ⁠aquascaping channel by March 31st, 2026.[/p][p]🐟 When you post your tank, include the text #mainmenu, so we can easily search for it.[/p][p][/p][p]That’s it! We’ll post our favorite tank in the ⁠superfins channel the following week, and one of our team members will send a DM to the winner with instructions on how to send us the save file with the winning tank.[/p][p][/p][p]We’re excited to see what you create![/p][p]-Fish Game Team[/p][p][/p][p]1st Image[/p][p][/p][p]2nd Image[/p][p][/p][p]3rd Image[/p][p][/p][p]Video Reference[/p][previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]

We've partnered with Quinn's Fins!

[p][/p][p]Big news! We’ve been working on this one for a while. [/p][p]Everyone keeps asking for more fish. We ran out of fish budget ages ago, so we’ve been working on ways to keep adding them. One of our solutions is to announce our first partnership with the delightful folks at Quinn’s Fins![/p][p][/p][p][/p][p] [/p][p][/p][p]We put their store in our game and our game in their store: Quinn’s Fins will now appear in the base game as a virtual store, featuring 12(!) free new in-game fish that Quinn’s Fins sells in real life across North America, and folks can purchase Fish Game from Quinn’s Fins online store. (To be clear, Fish Game will not receive any proceeds from the sale of these fish.)[/p][p][/p][p]And! If you love a fish you find in the Quinn’s Fins in-game store and want one in real-life, you can link directly to their online store from the game and order it! Since you’ve already become familiar with a deeply-simulated version of the fish, you’ll have a better idea of its real-life needs.[/p][p][/p][p]Here are the fish being added: [/p]
  • [p]Peppered Corydora Catfish[/p]
  • [p]Black Kuhli Loach[/p]
  • [p]Polar Blue Tiger Parrotfish[/p]
  • [p]Lyretail Blue Gold Guppy[/p]
  • [p]Platinum Koi[/p]
  • [p]Cardinal Tetra[/p]
  • [p]Green Spotted Pufferfish[/p]
  • [p]24-Karat Gold White Cloud Minnow[/p]
  • [p]Tiger Barb[/p]
  • [p]Blue Regal Peacock Cichlid[/p]
  • [p]OB Red Zebra Mbuna Cichlid (2 distinct variations)[/p]
[p][/p][p]This isn’t an “announcement of an announcement”. They’re available right now!
[/p][p]Note that not all of them will be immediately available and will follow the same level-unlock path other stores require as some fish are for more advanced keepers. 
[/p][p]Want to have direct influence on future fish to be added? Join the Fish Game Patreon to vote on future DLC (and to get those DLC included as part of your subscription). We also invite you to join the community Discord to share your aquascapes and thoughts! [/p][p]
