Fishy Friends! - More Words!


Hey there, friend of the fish!

Over the week we've seen a surprising and pleasant amount of plays on our project, thanks a bunch!

Now onto the update! A large part of Fishy Friends is personality, trying to make each fish feel unique and fresh. To reach this goal we use a mix of pre-written names, nouns, adjectives, and blurbs to construct a nice little description (this is in addition to the generated look of the fish of course).
We found, however, that these could be expanded upon much, much more, to avoid repetition as much as possible. Especially names are a big one for us, as we want players to find the names of themselves and their loved ones with a cute and personalized fishie.

So with this update, we've added

505 names

186 adjectives

85 blurbs

Quite a lot, especially in the names department. So try out Fishy Friends and see what new descriptions you get!

Many of these were added through the help of feedback, from places like the Pico-8 Discord and Reddit. So thanks a lot everyone, and be sure to leave your own suggestions in the comments, or wherever we can read them!
