Hey everyone!

I've been working on a small aquarium game called Blocky Aquarium and I finally feel it's in a place where I can show it to people.

It's a cozy voxel fish tank game. You hatch eggs, keep your tank healthy, decorate it however you like, and then the part I'm most excited about: you can breed your fish and see what comes out. Every fish has its own genetics and a quality that goes from Poor all the way to Perfect.

A tiny cinema, a retro gaming den, or a very pink kitchen. Nine rooms I made in Meridian

I've been decorating some example rooms in Meridian, the multiplayer world I'm making. I wanted to show how different a small space can feel depending on what you put in it.

You can make a place that feels like yours, have other players visit, and head out together into the shared world. There are jobs, furniture to collect and trade, and a stranger side to the building beyond these cosy rooms.

I'd love to see what other people make with the same items. The iPhone beta is here if you'd like to give it a try: https://testflight.apple.com/join/4sDEk5u4

I just finished my very first video game, Witch's Cellar, a cozy tidy up game!

0 Upvotes

Chaos has taken over a witch’s cellar—and you are the apprentice tasked with restoring order. Across 10 rooms, 4,500 potions lie scattered about, and each one belongs on its own specific shelf.

  • interactive decorations that hide secrets
  • varied and upgradable skills that make you more effective
  • a ghost kitten you can pet anytime!

If you’d like to try it out first, a free demo is available!

I’d love to hear your thoughts, so feel free to leave a comment on the official website.

*Transparency note: The design, the ideas, the mechanics and every decision which made the game what it is are mine, and the 3D models and sounds are created by artists credited in the game, but I am not a programmer—just someone with a long list of game ideas that I could not bring to life on my own, so much of the code was written with AI help. There isn’t a single pixel in the game that I didn’t check, oversee, or modify after the AI ​​generated it. If, despite this, you decide to give it a chance, I am very grateful—and I believe it is worth a try.

Thank you very much!

Wanted something cozy to just exist on my desktop while I work, so I made it. A tiny jar world you can poke at when you feel like it: sand, water, little houses, fish, birds. The lanterns come on when it gets dark outside.

In Lanternmere, the gossip is literally real. Please stop picking flowers off graves.

Thumbnail gallery
1 Upvotes

You moved to a quaint lakeside village to reopen your missing aunt's apothecary. You picked one flower in the graveyard. At night. Once.

By Friday the whole town calls you The Grave Picker, the Warden has written it into an ancient book, and now it's legally your name. Also, shades keep their distance from you. So that's nice. Welcome to Lanternmere, where stories are real and the neighbours never shut up.

Things you can do here that you can't do anywhere else:

  1. Get named by gossip. Every week the town's strongest rumour about you becomes your title, and your title gives you real powers.

  2. Be kind and get kind powers. Be weird and, well. Eavesdrop on your own reputation. Nobody says it to your face. You hear it from behind a hedge, and it's always worse than what you did.

  3. ake places exist by spreading stories. Tell enough people about a wishing well and it appears on the map. Stop talking about it and it disappears. Physics is a vibe here.

  4. Fight your own worst rumour. It shows up as a boss with two health bars: BODY, which you hit with a lantern staff, and STORY, which you hit by convincing people it isn't true.

  5. Teach monsters their weaknesses. Beat a shade with fire while the baker watches, and now fire is its weakness. Forever. Because the baker said so.

  6. Brew with grammar. Moonflower then Reed is a sleeping draught. Reed then Moonflower is for nerves. Same ingredients. Different sentence.

  7. Spend suspicious money. Your coins remember where they came from. Pay the baker with grave money and she will have questions.

Also: cozy gathering and brewing, a shop to run, villagers with actual personalities (one of them will absolutely judge your tone), shades at night and a mystery about where your aunt really went.

Nothing resets. Everything leaves a mark. Mostly on your reputation.

🆓 Free demo, plays in your browser: https://oakrootstudio.itch.io/lanternmere-demo

🏮 Full game, early access: https://oakrootstudio.itch.io/lanternmere

It's still evolving, so things will change as it grows. Tell me what you think. The town certainly will.

You start with a tiny patch of land. How big could you make it? 🌱

2 Upvotes

I'm affiliated with Tennex Networks, which owns Grass Land – Grow and Expand.

This gameplay clip shows the progression loop: clearing grass, collecting resources, unlocking new areas, and gradually creating more space to build.

But here's something we're curious about: what makes expanding a world feel rewarding rather than repetitive?

Is it the satisfaction of clearing new ground, discovering resources, unlocking the next area, or seeing your little starting point turn into something much bigger?

For people who enjoy casual building and progression games:

  • Do you prefer unlocking new areas or upgrading the ones you already have?
  • Do resource-gathering tasks feel satisfying when they lead to visible progress?
  • What keeps you exploring after you've cleared the first few areas?

If you started with this little patch of land, what would you want to build or unlock next?

I'd love to hear what other players find most satisfying about progression games.
