Fixed the remaining game-breaking bug + a few small changes: Fixed bug where some European users were not getting offline earnings Fixed bug where alt-tab feeding stopped working You can now close the collection highlight menu

As expected, the engine change led to some unintended side effects! I've fixed the most dire ones: Fixed a rendering incompatibility error which was causing the game to crash on older machines Fixed an issue where the Oarfish was not showing up. If you had any and played before this hotfix, they may be gone now unfortunately, sorry about that! Fixed a bug where the lights would refuse to change during the day Fixed an infinite money glitch where buying 100 golden pelagic dudes packs caused you to actually gain money instead of losing it Fixed bug where swap tank buttons still showed up on newl

Hey y'all! I've been working for the last few months on migrating Chillquarium from Godot 3.5 to the current Godot 4.4. This is an under-the-hood engine upgrade that wound up taking longer than I expected, but should make the game easier for me to maintain and work on moving forward. Migrating the game led to a lot of unexpected bugs that I have tracked down, and while I think everything is working now, it is likely that there are more bugs that I have not yet seen! So if anything weird turns up, let me know in the Steam forums or in the #bug-reports channel on the Discord server. As always, b

Hey everyone! Here's a patch for a few of the most prominent issues and bug reports I've been getting based on the changes from the last patch. UX Improvements The game now saves and creates a backup when it is closed via alt+f4 or the exit window button. Achievements now require all 26 fish rather than 25, which was confusing for a lot of people. (Don't worry, if you already had the achievement it will not be taken away!) Reduced volume when opening golden packs. Cards now warn you if the tank has the wrong water type. Card packs now display the water type they need in the shop. Scroll bars a

Fixed another bug causing achievements not to update in some cases.
2025-02-04 20:45 UTC · Community Announcements · GuyOnABuffalo
Fixed a bug where new achievements weren't updating if fish grew up while the game was closed Fixed a visual bug where fish with very high incomes displayed "Earning $0.01 per day"

Happy New Fish Day Everybody! Hi y'all! I'm extremely excited to announce that after a bunch of work, Chillquarium version 1.3 is finally here! I am continually grateful to all of you for playing my game and letting me spend my time doing what I love, and as thanks I plan to keep adding stuff to Chillquarium for as long as people are interested in playing it

Quick patch notes that represent a surprising amount of development effort. Added a manual rollback system that lets you revert your save file to a previous session in case of save file corruption. Older backups are sent to the system recycle bin rather than deleted completely. Fixed one more known issue that was leading to backup saves being corrupted. My hope is that this update should kill save file corruptions for good, because even if something corrupting happens it will only mean that the previous session is lost rather than everything. Just want to say a sincere apology to anyone who ha

Fixed a bug where Spring Pals achievements were not updating properly Added a framerate cap option New rainbow fish now display as silhouettes Updated schooling behavior for Spring Pals Fixed a bug where cards could get stuck on screen I've been meaning to launch this update for a long time! Life has been very busy my way, as I've just gotten married and moved into a new house, but things are finally slowing down enough that I can get more dev time in! Happy fishing, -Ben

Hello everyone, it's been a while but I'm back with three big pieces of news! I'm announcing Wing Haven -- the bird-themed sequel to Chillquarium! Wing Haven is a game about populating wildlife sanctuaries with rare birds! It's a spiritual successor to Chillquarium, but I'm really excited about the variety that comes from having new biomes to build in and fill with native plant species. If you are interested, you can head over to the Steam page and add it to your wishlist, it does a lot for the Steam algorithm if you do! https://store.steampowered.com/app/2790850/Wing_Haven/ For the time being

Hey everyone! I'm super excited to announce that myco, the creator of (the) Gnorp Apologue and I have teamed up to create a bundle on Steam! You can get both games together for 15% off, or if you already own Chillquarium (I assume you probably do if you're reading this), then you can still get Gnorpin' for 15% off! (the) Gnorp Apologue is another awesome solo-developed idle game. It is immensely satisfying and very well polished. Seriously, the amount of dopamine I get from making my little dudes slam into this rock is off the charts. If you like Chillquarium, do yourself a favor and check thi
