Hi everyone! 💜
Thought we’d do a little recap of our recent development journey and take you all through it!
🌟 Last year Fishbowl was announced as part of Sony’s India Hero Project.
It was quite a surreal feeling to have our little game be partnered with this industry giant. As our first game, being a first time studio and a two person team, we still pinch ourselves over this. We are super grateful and we are working very hard to make a game we feel proud to send out in the world one day.
🕹 In May we launched a short demo of our game!
In case you haven’t gotten to playing it yet, give it a go. In case you have played it, thank you so much for checking it out! Hope it gave you a good taste of what's to come.
🎨 We got to experience the joy of seeing Alo and Paplet in fanart!
It made us bawl our eyes out! Thank you so much Louie Jams for this gift.

🙌🏾 Fishbowl was a finalist in the Gamemaker Awards for Most Anticipated Game of the Year and the Winner of the Wings Award at SXSW Sydney.
Through the award monies we were able to support four causes close to our heart - Citizens for Justice and Peace, Internet Freedom Foundation, The Wire and Dreams on a Pillow.
💪🏾 We made a lot of progress on Fishbowl
We have a very, very, VERY rough version of the full game being playable. We will soon focus on the art and animation, connecting the narrative systems, internal playtesting and QA, reaching script lock, making music, adding sound and all that very good and very intimidating stuff for the new year. Wish us luck!
🦋 Lastly, we are now on BlueSky and you can follow us there!
We haven’t been very active on social media due to our work schedule but we are hoping to share consistent updates soon. All our other socials are linked below too and since you’re here, you are in the right place for important updates already!
🙏🏾 As always, thank you so much for being here, for supporting us and encouraging us on. After two years of part-time and two years of full-time work, we are going into the fifth year of development with a lot of determination. We can't wait for all of you to be able play what we have made!
Love,
Rhea & Prateek
