CHILLQUARIUM MOBILE 🐟📱

The majority of my time recently has been spent working on bringing Chillquarium to mobile! As of today, the game is available for early access on Android, and pre-registration on iOS! Big shoutout to the folks at Snapbreak for their publishing support.

It’s been a huge amount of work getting a Chillquarium port running on mobile. Honestly, it has been a much bigger undertaking than what I initially realized. Godot is overall a really wonderful game engine, but its native support for mobile development is still getting there in a lot of ways. There have been a lot of tasks which seem simple that wound up taking weeks of banging my head against the computer.

But all of this effort has definitely been worthwhile! I've been testing the game on my phone lately -- it has been a long time since I've really played my own game -- and I have to say it's pretty fun! It has been nice to sort of rediscover that with some fresh perspective. I hope you all have as much fun getting to re-experience unlocking new fish and ripping packs as I have!

You can download the early access version of the game on the Google Play Store and Pre-Register on the Apple App Store right now!

Stay tuned for more updates as we gear up to properly launch!

INTRODUCING SOPHIE 👋

After years of working as a solo dev, with so many different things in the works, I've finally decided it's time to bring someone on to help out. Please welcome Sophie to the community! You’ll see her lurking in the discord, replying to Steam reviews and forum posts and writing upcoming news posts to keep you up to date with all of the exciting things happening.

Happy fishing (and soon, birding!)

-Ben & Sophie

P.S. I finally got a real tank!

It turns out keeping real fish is super fun! It has become a minor obsession for me, I am already planning to set up a second tank next to this one. It's definitely a nice source of inspiration for future Chillquarium content as well ;)
