Enlarge your aquarium, try themes and floors in the Aquarium Studio, and find the Field Guide, Updates and Community in the site header. Everything since 0.8.0 is here.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Your aquarium
|
||||
|
||||
- Enlarge your aquarium at level 25: a wide panoramic tank with room for 30 fish and 60 decorations, for 200,000 coins.
|
||||
- The Aquarium Studio replaces the shop's Aquarium page. Try themes, rooms, floors and equipment on your own aquarium in a live preview, then buy everything you like at once. It shows what your aquarium is wearing, slot by slot.
|
||||
- New floors for your aquarium: buy one once with coins and swap between the floors you own at any time.
|
||||
- Plants and decorations stand on the sand instead of sinking into it.
|
||||
- Every aquarium now lives at fishies.lol/@name, and old links forward there automatically.
|
||||
- A new aquarium button beside the Map lets you switch aquariums and see the next one at a glance.
|
||||
- A shield beside the water readout shows how long your fish stay well while you are away, auto-feeder included.
|
||||
- New keepers receive their filter, heater and Conditioning Box as gifts at the moment each one starts to matter.
|
||||
- Every fish has a Grade from 0 to 100, and the shop shows each species' Stars and Care level.
|
||||
- The level-up screen waits until your sale has finished. A jump of several levels is shown once, and you can page through everything you unlocked with arrows, keys, the wheel or a swipe.
|
||||
- A Next goal line suggests what to try next. New gear arrives as a gift with a card, and six quest chains lead the story on to level 100. A quest shows where it sits in its chain.
|
||||
- Keepers who finished the tutorial long ago receive the Home Sweet Home achievement.
|
||||
- Several of the same item sell from the stash one after another.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Moving around
|
||||
|
||||
- Travelling between aquariums is seamless: no loading screen when you visit someone or go back home.
|
||||
- The Map opens at full size straight away, and tapping your home itself swims you home.
|
||||
- Pictures appear only once fully loaded, behind a Fishies spinner. Embedded aquariums load in seconds with a progress bar.
|
||||
- Panels and the shop open faster, and pages load less language data.
|
||||
- News, profiles and the forum no longer fail to load when the site is busy.
|
||||
- Panels pop open from where you tapped and slip away when closed. Coins and XP fly to your counters and count up, tabs glide, and buttons squash when pressed.
|
||||
- When visiting an aquarium, the map, chat and follow bar line up and no longer cover the tank's equipment.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Keeper OS and the game's menus
|
||||
|
||||
- The top-right button opens the Keeper OS over your aquarium, with every notification in one place and a simpler Settings.
|
||||
- Quick buttons for full screen, sound, account and settings. On Android phones the game goes full screen and sideways on your first tap.
|
||||
- Account opens straight in the Keeper OS, with a clear way back to your aquarium. The dock shows icons only; labels can be turned on in Settings.
|
||||
- Settings and notifications use the game's own buttons and switches. Settings > Sound has a proper track list.
|
||||
- Settings > Display lets you choose the graphics engine, WebGPU or WebGL.
|
||||
- Links in chat and Community open the Reef Journal, an aquarium or a thread right inside the game.
|
||||
- The Reef Journal has its new name everywhere, covers every part of the game in every language, and lists every keyboard shortcut.
|
||||
- The Keeper OS guide in the Field Guide covers the quick buttons, dock labels and the graphics engine.
|
||||
- Tooltips appear at once in the game's own style. Big coin and XP counts read like 87.6K.
|
||||
- The Aquariums and Map buttons now match.
|
||||
- The Keeper OS fits phones held sideways, laptops and desktops at 125% and 150% scale, and the aquarium switcher's cards fit inside the menu.
|
||||
|
||||
#### The website
|
||||
|
||||
- Field Guide, Updates and Community in the site header open their pages on the site, for everyone, signed in or not.
|
||||
- Log in in the site header opens the sign-in panel where you are, over the whole page. The forum and other pages no longer send you into the game.
|
||||
- The sign-in panel says when new aquariums are closed, and hides guest play while they are. A failed sign-in is explained wherever you are.
|
||||
- Google sign-in always asks which account to use, so a shared browser never signs in to the last account by itself.
|
||||
- Discussions is now Community: clear categories, a thread for every update and patch note, a Markdown editor, author cards and link cards.
|
||||
- A post that cannot go yet says why: a title that is too short, or an empty post.
|
||||
- The FAQ says Fishies is on the App Store for iPhone, iPad and Mac.
|
||||
- The game's text, catalogue data, soundtrack and an embeddable aquarium are public.
|
||||
- Whispers come from keepers you follow back, unless you open them to everyone in Settings.
|
||||
- "See what's coming" opens the Fishies roadmap.
|
||||
- Icons across the game and site are painted icons now. Thirty-one new ones join the set, gold buttons look the same everywhere, and the video player has a warmer reef look.
|
||||
- The header no longer shows two look-alike account buttons when you play as a guest.
|
||||
- A guest who visits your aquarium is listed as Guest, not as a link to a page that does not exist.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Graphics and performance
|
||||
|
||||
- WebGL is the default, which fixes flickering shadows. WebGPU stays available in Settings.
|
||||
- The game lowers its drawing resolution on its own when a device cannot keep up.
|
||||
- Fish out of view cost no drawing time, and the aquarium does less work every frame, so busy tanks run smoother.
|
||||
- Aquariums recover from graphics startup failures on supported devices. Open Water pauses safely during a graphics interruption and resumes when drawing is restored.
|
||||
- Fullscreen on large, high-resolution screens runs smoothly again. Slow fullscreen aquariums can reduce their drawing load to stay responsive.
|
||||
- A window that fails to load no longer takes the whole game down.
|
||||
- Aquarium updates reconnect reliably after a temporary service interruption.
|
||||
- The Aquarium Studio opens faster after the first time, and long shop lists scroll more smoothly.
|
||||
- The loading screen's background is calm open water, without fish swimming behind it.
|
||||
- The phone and desktop apps download much smaller, and their first update arrives faster.
|
||||
- The desktop app updates itself the next time it starts.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Fixes
|
||||
|
||||
- Placing an egg no longer makes the music stutter or play twice over itself.
|
||||
- Chat messages and forum replies appear again right away.
|
||||
- The net tells you plainly that a legendary fish is never sold.
|
||||
- Fish cards always fit on screen; long details scroll inside the card while its name and buttons stay put.
|
||||
- On phones held sideways, the Conditioning Box no longer hides under the water gauge.
|
||||
- On phones the shop list scrolls smoothly in one column, and its filters say what they filter.
|
||||
- Aquarium link cards always show a picture of the aquarium.
|
||||
- In the desktop app, the scrollbar starts below the window bar.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Copy
|
||||
|
||||
- "Noir" is she, in every language.
