hi guys, somni here. i have the very special priviledge of announcing the winner of our fish face popula- ah, you can already see it.

not only do we get to celebrate 'Origami Fish' invading it's way into all of our hearts, but we also get to celebrate the project hitting over ONE THOUSAND plays, with over a hundred downloads too! getting this experience as a game developer is something I thought I'd stay daydreaming about, but it's real!.. and I'm glad it's happened on the free tiny fishing game that i spent a weekend making with my friend!

you know, i spent my childhood drawing up what was essentially entire fan wikipedia sites onto paper in order to map out my game ideas. i treated them like they were real and needed all the health and attack stats for the enemies to be stored somewhere. i still have giant folders of paper where i keep them all safe.

unfortunately, i stopped doing this after i got too old for that silly stuff at the young age of seventeen, because my art classes made me fall out of love with drawing and so i pivoted to programming. if my mother hadn't tricked me into going to a university for game development, i would've given up and gone to a computer science course i would've hated. if that had happened, i would never have discovered that i actually do like drawing art for and designing video games (how could i possibly had known that otherwise)

me and uh theChatster already have more game ideas we want to make, so keep an eye on our pages because we are going to keep being unapologetically strange, and hey you could check out our previous games in the mean time! you should also see the silly art we make for our not-video-games, you can find our links at the bottom of the page!

HELLO theChatster here! Thank you guys so so much for over 1000 plays, that's wild!! The Origami Fish love is deserved, they are my favorite too. 

On an emotional note, it's been an absolute joy reading and responding to all of the lovely comments we have received on our game over the past week, both of us are recent graduates from a game dev course and it means the world to have a project we intended to be a 'little fun activity during the summer' become something so much more. To see people resonate with its message, or even just  be amused by the fish is so wonderful.  With the industry being in the state it is at the minute, having our game jam game entertain people, even if for a little while, is a beacon of hope and encouragement. I'm mostly an artist, but this was actually the first time I was able to contribute MUSIC to a game which is a milestone I am extremely proud of- I'm so touched that people enjoyed my synth loops!!

Thank you to each and every person who has taken the time to check out fishface, whether playing yourselves, watching the trailer, or even finding us from of the many youtube videos (a CRAZY thing to be typing) made about us! We've been featured by ManlyBadassHero and many others from all around the world, including someone who streamed a live translation in Chinese (WOW!) If you'd like to check out some of the videos, I have complied a playlist HERE

P.S As designer of the Waste Of Flesh...I have lovingly drawn you guys a depiction...
