In this episode, we interview two of the developers of Fish Game, Erin and Ryan Davis! We talk to them about their lives and about how they came to be involved with this exciting and very realistic game. If you are looking for a realistic fish simulation game then this is the game for you. Enjoy our conversation as we nerd out about the intricacies of developing a fish videogame!
We can’t even begin to tell you how much we recommend Fish Game. It is such an incredible and charming simulation of freshwater fish keeping. Definitely give it a try! You can find the game on Steam and you can also support them via their Patreon. If you check out our Twitch or our Youtube, you can find previous videos of us exploring the game when it was really new, including a tank design competition that Josh and Christine took part in! This game is such a clear labor of love for all involved, and it is great to see how many updates have occurred and continue to occur since we first discovered it!
This podcast is brought to you by the Hillstream Loach, the flying squirrel of the aquatic world. Like a flying squirrel, their large flat fins span their entire bodies, giving the appearance of a flying saucer, and they use these adaptations to cling to the surface of rocks in fast flowing streams. In Germany, these loaches are called “flossensaugers” which translates to “Lizardfish”. Despite its name, no hillstream loaches are lizards, nor do they reside on hills at all because surely they'd dry out and die. And we wouldn't want that for our flat little friends. Cheers to you, hillstream loach and may you cling to life as you do so well to rocks.
