Reworked the first-day tutorial into an optional task tracker with shorter, action-focused objectives.
Tutorial progress and the tracker's collapsed state are now saved correctly, while improved screen handling keeps the tracker from obstructing or blocking other interfaces.
Improved the scripted first customer and fixed tutorial crashes, duplicate quest cards, fish-lock tracking, and negotiation softlocks.
Skill Tree and Progression
Added a complete Skill Tree with 20 skills across Customer Relations, Fish Care, Breeding, and Business.
Added Shop Levels, XP, Skill Points, prerequisites, and persistent gameplay effects for purchased skills.
Added progression milestones, end-of-day XP breakdowns, catch-up rewards for existing saves, and a notification badge for unspent Skill Points.
Tanks and Fish
Reworked fish movement with more natural routes, smoother turning, better wall avoidance, loose schooling, and improved separation.
Improved aggression chases, escape behavior, collision handling, and the movement of large fish in smaller tanks.
Fish can now be dragged to a new position inside their tank, with their new position saved automatically.
Improved preview movement and added depth tinting so fish sit more naturally within aquariums.
Improved sponge-cleaning performance. Cleaning no longer stutters or lags on larger tanks and bigger sponge upgrades, and now runs on the graphics card instead of the processor.
Added assisted cleaning completion after reaching 85% cleanliness, made lighting react to cleanliness, and fixed distorted dirt previews.
Added more tank feedback, including fish-placement splashes, click ripples, feeding reactions, cleaning sparkles, and smoother progress bars.
Reworked fish growth. Baby fish now start small and grow steadily to full size as they age.
The Auto Feeder no longer reacts while the tank is locked or being cleaned, and now squishes when activated or deactivated.
Fixed egg hatch tooltips being cut off near the edge of the screen.
New Fish
Added six new Guppy varieties: Blue, White, Leo, Koi, and Flame.
Male and female Guppies now have distinct appearances.
Guppy swimming animations are tuned per variety and gender, giving each combination its own movement.
Fish Animation
Swimming animations now match each species' actual speed.
Shop and Customers
Fixed customers changing their requested species or quantity during an interaction and fixed two-fish requests being rejected incorrectly.
Customer conversations now flow directly into the fish selection screen instead of displaying the customer's request twice.
Customer counter-offer prices now update instantly in the price field before the customer's chat message types out.
When you tell a customer "Can't help you today," they are permanently removed from that day's customer queue and will no longer unexpectedly return.
Corrected lifespan quiz answers and improved tank-condition questions.
Improved singular and plural dialogue phrasing and removed a redundant negotiation step.
Rebalanced World Events so negative events are less common, cannot occur consecutively, and have limited strength and duration.
Prevented negative market conditions from leaving a stocked shop without enough customers when suitable fish and visitors are available.
Internet and Trade Hub
Added the Guides section with information about fish care, shopping, trading, licenses, breeding, customers, and shop management.
Expanded Trade Hub stock so Uncommon and Legendary fish can now appear alongside the other intended rarities.
Added first-time explanations for Internet sections and World Events; notifications now pause while hovered.
Added Fish Store filter result counts and restored previous page positions when returning to Internet sections.
Interface, Feedback, and Audio
Standardized the top navigation, improved store-name fitting, and added a compact five-star Shop rating display.
Added visual reactions when important values change and fixed outdated money values briefly appearing when entering a tank.
Fixed repeated sale-income feedback and added visible autosave confirmations.
Improved Fish List wrapping and clipping so long names and status icons no longer overlap.
Added sound feedback to previously silent buttons. Roughly 39 buttons across the game now have proper click feedback, including:
Shop screen: "Let's See", "Just a Second", "Send Away", quiz answer buttons, the shop builder button, and the tank overview close button.
Fish selection: add fish, price up/down, and "Nevermind".
Tank screen: fish detail panel tabs, the fish list toggle, rename, pickup, and the next/previous fish arrows.
Pause menu: Back to Game, Save, Load Game, Quit, and all save/delete confirmation buttons.
Main menu: save deletion confirm and cancel.
Tanks overview: settings and tank size selection.
Day summary: Return to Day, End Day Anyway, and Next Day.
Inventory: back, decoration edit toggle, quick sell, and rename.
Fixed audio volume sliders not updating correctly. SFX and OST volumes now independently adjust the proper audio buses.
