What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“While we're happy with the game as it stands and feel it could hold its own as a 1.0, we do also have quite a few ideas we would like to implement first. We figured a cozy, casual idler like this is best developed alongside the community, carefully listening to feedback to decide what to prioritize.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We plan to stay in Early Access for a few more months while the game grows with the community's feedback. If things go as we hope, we're expecting the full release by the end of 2026, and we'll set a firm date once we're close.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“The main thing between now and 1.0 is more content. We're happy with the shape of the game today, and Early Access is about growing it alongside the community. The Aquarium and the Arcade both grew out of feedback after launch, and titles got a bit more love once it was clear players enjoyed them. We'd like to add more fish and more cosmetics before the full release, and as always, what we work on next will be guided by what players are enjoying and asking for”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The game is fully playable and stable. The complete idle loop is in: a collection journal with 80 species across rarity and grade systems and per-fish mastery, an aquarium to display your best catches, cosmetics, titles and achievements, and multiplayer for up to 4 players on one pier, including an Arcade of mini games to play together. For most players we expect the current content to take a few months to complete. We plan to keep adding to it throughout Early Access.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“We are not currently planning to change the price when we leave Early Access.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“We read Steam reviews and the Community discussions to see what players like, don't like, and would love to see added. There's also a Report a Problem / Feedback card in the game's Settings that lands straight in our inbox. All feedback is welcome!”
