Fishbowl: Trailer deep dive 💜

imissmyfriends.studiosteam_community_announcements

183d ago

Hi everyone! 👋🏾

2026 is here and we are one month in already?!? Fishbowl’s release day is coming closer and closer. AAHHHH!!!

We have both thrown ourselves into our to-do lists and playtests and solving bugs and noting improvements and making the game as much of itself as we can possibly make it. We thought it might be fun to take you all through the latest trailer of Fishbowl. We know many of you spotted some interesting and unexpected things in there!

First up! The trailer opens with a little glow around Alo. If you have played the demo, you know exactly what this leads to. For those who haven’t, we won’t spoil it for you 🙂

We then give you a quick glimpse into Alo’s dream world. A dark part of Alo’s mind which holds suppressed events, overwhelming thoughts and complex feelings all tumbling out of her in her sleep.

Next up, you move through Alo’s memories from when she was little. You get to see some of her friends, her grandma’s tea shop and the nearby park she’d play in.

The trailer then shifts to present time where Alo gets a call from her Mum while travelling back home from work in an autorickshaw.

You then see Alo doing home and self care tasks around her new home. The little bar you see on top is her moodmeter. It shifts up and down as per the things Alo does in her home. Since this trailer was released, we’ve reworked the design of the moodmeter and are MUCH happier with it now. You will get to see it soon ^_^

You then see some movers and packers keep a whole lot of packages all over Alo’s home and you also see her unpacking some of them by solving a sliding style puzzle. Every puzzle that you unpack will unlock a memory and help you piece together bits and pieces of Alo’s story.

We give you a peek into Alo’s work from home job as a video editor. There are a bunch of new colleagues for you to get to know and work with.

At the end of our trailer, Alo goes to bed after a long day.

Hope you all enjoyed going through this trailer with us! If this is the first time you’ve seen our game, welcome! If you’ve been rooting for us for a long time, we are beyond grateful! If you like what you see, we want to remind you to wishlist Fishbowl.

Now back to our desks!

Love,

Rhea & Prateek

Fishbowl: Logging into Alo's job as a Video Editor 💻

imissmyfriends.studiosteam_community_announcements

243d ago

Hi everyone!

After a long break to focus on Fishbowl’s development we are now back with regular game updates! Having a community to come back to feels really special and we don’t ever take it for granted. Thank you for sticking along!

Today we’ll give you a glimpse into the video editing mini-game in Fishbowl.

Alo works as a junior video editor at Sitara LLC. It's a media company run by a big social media star named Sitara. Alo grew up watching and admiring them. When she was a kid, she’d often watch Sitara’s channel with her friends. Cut to now, having this job feels like a full circle moment for Alo.

Over at Sitara LLC, they have lots of writers, graphic designers and of course, video editors working to make sure all the work that Sitara creates and uploads is perfect!

Video editing in Fishbowl is a colour/symbol matching game. You move the clips to sort them into the correct track. The video editing levels vary from easy to hard depending on the work pressure for the day. Sitara is usually working on multiple projects at a time, so there is a LOT to do sometimes.

Although you work from home, Alo’s manager, Iris, makes sure you aren’t alone. She teams you up with various colleagues so you have company while you work—

👩🏽‍💻You get to meet new people

🔥Learn from them and what they are good at

🎯Level up your skills as well, if you’d like to!

Each new colleague you meet, will have their own ability which they will teach you. So hopefully, your everyday job is full of fun and something to look forward to!

If you aren’t very good at editing videos, worry not, your colleagues will be by your side, and you will still progress in the game. However, in a slightly different way! 😉

And perhaps, you will get to meet your boss, superstar streamer Sitara as you play along!

Hope you enjoyed getting to know about Alo’s job! We will be back and explore another fun part of Fishbowl, maybe a deep-dive into a new character next? What would you like to hear about?

PS: Some news! Fishbowl is part of the Midwinter Spirits event on Steam starting this week! 🥳

PPS: If you’d like to give the video editing game a shot, do check out the Fishbowl demo on Steam! 👾

Love,

Rhea & Prateek

Fishbowl Recap: 4 Years of Development

imissmyfriends.studiosteam_community_announcements

474d ago

Hi everyone! 💜 Thought we’d do a little recap of our recent development journey and take you all through it! 🌟 Last year Fishbowl was announced as part of Sony’s India Hero Project. It was quite a surreal feeling to have our little game be partnered with this industry giant. As our first game, being a first time studio and a two person team, we still pinch ourselves over this. We are super grateful and we are working very hard to make a game we feel proud to send out in the world one day. 🕹 In May we launched a short demo of our game! In case you haven’t gotten to playing it yet, give it a go. In case you have played it, thank you so much for checking it out! Hope it gave you a good taste of what's to come. 🎨 We got to experience the joy of seeing Alo and Paplet in fanart! It made us bawl our eyes out! Thank you so much Louie Jams for this gift. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44105038/d4f78d311e78d9edebbfa462d62f30fb06162617.png Credit: https://ko-fi.com/louiejams 🙌🏾 Fishbowl was a finalist in the Gamemaker Awards for Most Anticipated Game of the Year and the Winner of the Wings Award at SXSW Sydney. Through the award monies we were able to support four causes close to our heart - Citizens for Justice and Peace, Internet Freedom Foundation, The Wire and Dreams on a Pillow. 💪🏾 We made a lot of progress on Fishbowl We have a very, very, VERY rough version of the full game being playable. We will soon focus on the art and animation, connecting the narrative systems, internal playtesting and QA, reaching script lock, making music, adding sound and all that very good and very intimidating stuff for the new year. Wish us luck! 🦋 Lastly, we are now on BlueSky and you can follow us there! We haven’t been very active on social media due to our work schedule but we are hoping to share consistent updates soon. All our other socials are linked below too and since you’re here, you are in the right place for important updates already! 🙏🏾 As always, thank you so much for being here, for supporting us and encouraging us on. After two years of part-time and two years of full-time work, we are going into the fifth year of development with a lot of determination. We can't wait for all of you to be able play what we have made! Love, Rhea & Prateek 💜 imissmyfriends.studio

Fishbowl: Trailer Tour, Beyond the Demo!

imissmyfriends.studiosteam_community_announcements

723d ago

Hi everyone! Fishbowl’s trailer was released alongside our demo and we'd love to take you through it! But before that, if any of you played our demo, please take a moment to leave us a review. It would help us a LOT in continuing to make Fishbowl visible to other players on Steam. The first person you meet in the trailer is Iris. She is Alo’s manager at work and Alo directly reports to her. You will have many conversations with her about work and also life. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44105038/5069523c90b87f05b55d444ce883191f025e972f.png Iris loves film making and she is also a DIY queen! We’ve made sure to have her home reflect that. There are a lot of objects that Iris has made herself. This sewing machine is inspired from the Usha sewing machines which were really popular in India at one time. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44105038/bd7a6e3eea1b4db64ae1235cb3464170ea008a44.png We then show you a bunch of self care and home care tasks that Alo does at home. The game starts off with the home being pretty barebones and as time goes by new activities and a few areas get unlocked. The home becomes more ‘alive’ over time. The thing with all the care tasks in Fishbowl is that you can do as much or as little as you are able and you will get an outcome as per your choices and decisions. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44105038/df742225f97ba97bc16fdd7fd2d40ae6939d5cfa.png Next up is our job that we do from home. Alo is a video editor and video editing in Fishbowl is a colour/symbol matching game. You are partnered with different work colleagues and they have their own abilities and challenges that they bring along to the video editing game! This is Bulbul who seems to have messed up a previous file. Alo is going to try her best to help fix it. Do your best Alo and Bulbul! 💜 Bulbul is an intern who has also moved to this new city like Alo. She lives in a teeny tiny studio apartment where the kitchen, hall, bedroom are basically just one room, AND with six other roommates! She’s figuring out how to cook so it's cheaper than ordering in and we are excited for you to see Bulbul’s story unfold in Fishbowl. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44105038/eee6091da642b855178a554263175e8f4366383b.png We then have Menguzonuo whom we all know and love! She has been working here for a long time. She is a pro at video editing and usually wants to finish work quickly! A quick note on what we are actually editing! We work for this big social media influencer and content creator named Sitara and we are basically editing their vlogs and films and all such. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44105038/ccff4ae703e32fab1bece1b26ad2cc9e2b3fb646.png This is Alo’s mum! She runs Alo’s grandmum’s tea shop. As you know, Alo’s grandmum, Jaja passed away a little while back. And here, Alo’s Mum is thinking of giving away all her things. There are many such crucial choices in our game, which will create big and small changes in the story that you experience, as well as in the endings. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44105038/6e2b14efc01fe03690ba77f3c5e883dbd1782f5e.png Alo ends up with all these packages containing things which belonged to her grandma. Jaja preserved these sentimental objects over the years. You now need to unpack them one at a time and progress in the story of the game. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44105038/c4236dfc9cc49a300dbbf9d5063d4ec1f721cb05.png This is Zuari, Alo’s childhood bestie who is a bit concerned about how Alo will go through all these packages. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44105038/c4542253107be0ea25255424cac5df2a3678cd05.png These are our unpacking puzzles! When you interact with a box, an unpacking puzzle opens up. It is full of objects that feel nostalgic and sentimental. Also, some you can’t really make much sense of. To solve the puzzle, you free up the object at the bottom. So move things around and try to ‘get’ the special object underneath. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44105038/2fd9e213dea8d602f71adc8dde519258a10d50da.png This is our journal! All the objects in the boxes will go into Alo’s journal which will tell you a little bit about them. The object that you uncovered might give you a memory. How you get these memories is a bit of a secret and we’d love for you to play the demo to know more about it. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44105038/f3f2c699f1b958650a5f8b32838e49843d3cae46.png This scene is an example of one such memory that Alo has received from an old object, a beloved record player. Memories sometimes unlock an activity. This record player lets you play tunes from the past whenever you’d like! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44105038/533659f33a0a0a721bd3fb4dbda405f692b18f78.png Along with memories Fishbowl also has this dream world of sorts which tells you more about the past as well as Alo’s inner thoughts. We have created this area with a lot of care and it has little details that will tell you more about the story if you are paying attention and observing with a keen eye. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44105038/2e922cdac6ded4be1b5415570ef441f5402304be.png Our trailer ends with smol Alo and her friends on the terrace looking at the evening sky filled with stars. Hope you enjoy playing the demo and meeting some of these characters, experiencing some of these events. A reminder, if you’ve already played it, do leave us a review here and share with us what you thought of it! Love, Rhea & Prateek 💜imissmyfriends.studio

Fishbowl: Stories told through things left behind 📦

imissmyfriends.studiosteam_community_announcements

899d ago

Hi everyone! Today we want to tell you about the unpacking puzzles in Fishbowl and our thoughts behind them. When you solve unpacking puzzles, you will rediscover childhood memories from our main character, Alo’s, past. The puzzles require you to move objects around in order to ‘get’ the one at the bottom. These puzzles have you unpack objects belonging to Jaja, Alo’s grandma, who passed away a little while ago. They tell stories of significant moments in Alo’s life, growing up. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44105038/0282ae032f2fc743c0db32de3dcd5e715fede898.png Some of these objects will be dear to Alo, reminding her of a simpler time spent together with friends and family, while others may dive deep into some secrets. We are hoping for our Indian friends to be able to spot a lot more than catches the eye. Like the Maggi and Hot and Sweet ketchup there. IYKYK. Also, spot the box of ‘mathri’, a savoury flaky cookie or cracker from North India (Rajasthan) popularly eaten with ‘achaar’, Indian pickle. Yum! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44105038/fe2f001ef523b8ba8d4f6977bd7e0488e9543348.gif Let’s dissect the objects in this one puzzle. Don’t worry, we won’t give away the object at the bottom which will give you a memory! 📗 Cross Stitch book: Jaja preserved this book through all these years. 🪡 Cross Stitch Embroidery: Some floral embroidery Jaja was working on. 🧵 Colourful threads: Jaja made sure to collect new colours of threads to add to her collection. ✂️ Scissors: Jaja’s trusted scissors which Alo was not allowed to play with when she was little. 🚃 Train: This wooden train toy is inspired from wooden Channapatna toys made in South India (Karnataka) that we love. If you like how this train looks, google it to see lots more beautifully hand-made toys. 🪙 Coin Purse: Jaja’s little coin purse, which would double up as Alo’s when she’d wrap Jaja’s sari around herself and pretend to be all grown up. 🧶 Yarn: Just some blue wool. Maybe Jaja was about to start making something new! 💔 Hope you enjoyed going through the objects in this puzzle with us. Fishbowl has lots of them so stick around for more. We are excited to share how to solve the puzzle and the memory you will get too, but all in good time. What would you like us to post about next? Leave a comment below! Love, Rhea & Prateek 💜imissmyfriends.studio

Fishbowl goes to Kyoto for BitSummit

imissmyfriends.studiosteam_community_announcements

1141d ago

Hi folks! We are back with another Fishbowl update. A longer one this time ^_^ We are very excited to announce that Fishbowl is selected to be part of BitSummit! This is such a dream come true! We are looking forward to showcasing the early version of Fishbowl’s Prologue at the event. We hope to get lots of feedback and a lot of support for our game. As ecstatic as we were to be part of the event, our first thought was researching the process for a visa to Japan. Visa processes can be gruelling and time consuming, moreso since the pandemic. Luckily, we made it and our visas arrived way before time. Yay! Super grateful to the BitSummit team for helping us with all the required event documents, it made everything so much easier. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44105038/b5712d953ff4018e1edfd70be025ca7e21a314ba.jpg With our visa-stamped-passports in our hands, we could truly sit with the happiness of going to Kyoto, visiting Japan for the very first time, that too, with our very first game. It all feels surreal. We feel very lucky and happy. That said, we now have a running countdown of the amount of work we need to finish before our flight takes off. We are doing our best every single day to make our Prologue as good as it can be. It will set up the little world of Fishbowl for you, introduce you to our main character Alo and give you hints on what to expect in the rest of the game. We are trying to scope it such that it gives you a go at the main mechanics and experience the overall premise of our story with a lot of little mysteries underwraps 😉 For BitSummit, we are localising our Prologue to Japanese and seeing the dialogues and start screen in Kanji and Kana feels so special. We hope Japanese players enjoy playing Fishbowl. Even though Fishbowl is a narrative heavy game, which means localisation can be hard to do, we want to try our best to localise it in as many languages as possible. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44105038/e64b8e139c7522350062b03158ba66a0d5b910ab.gif We are also figuring out what we want the Fishbowl booth at Bitsummit to look like. We are preparing some special little treats for a few lucky players. We are also trying to be as sustainable and mindful as possible with all the things we print, make, carry. If time permits, we are hoping to do a few things in Kyoto: 📚 Visit Kyoto International Manga Museum 🧺 Picnic at Kyoto botanical gardens 🐾 Take a walk on Philosopher’s Path 🎟 Visit Ghibli Park (we got tickets!! we will be taking a train for the day to visit 🤞🏽) 👾 And of course, meet devs and industry folks we look up to, play many new games and make some friends If you are in Kyoto between the 14th-16th July do drop by BitSummit at Miyako Messe and lookout for the Fishbowl booth. We’d love to meet you! Love, Rhea & Prateek 💜 imissmyfriends.studio

Fishbowl is on Steam!

imissmyfriends.studiosteam_community_announcements

1166d ago

Hey folks! 💜 Excited to be making our first post on Steam! We dreamed of having our Steam page up for so long, glad it's finally here! As two people who are not from the game industry but dreamed for the longest time of making games and telling stories together, having a Steam page just makes it all seem real, like it's actually happening, we are not just sitting at home and working on something ‘imaginary’ for hours. Haha! So, we feel grateful and very happy to be here and to share updates with all of you! We’d love to tell you a little bit about us, and our studio. imissmyfriends.studio is the two of us— Rhea and Prateek and Fishbowl is our first game. We started as beginners, with no prior experience in game development, only having watched as many talks, tutorials, documentaries on the subject as we could learning new skills and sharpening old ones. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44105038/58c5767efd535bffa0cf7e3df26ca0dd7b49e71c.png In the middle of the pandemic, we decided to finally start our gamedev journey. Since April 2021 we’ve been navigating between measured discipline, sinking self doubt and boundless excitement which typically accompanies making a game. The idea of Fishbowl is closely inspired by our mindset during the pandemic. Through this time, we were reflecting on our lives in isolation, what it meant to support our loved ones long distance, and to take care of ourselves. You play as Alo, a twenty-one year old who just got her first job in a new city and is living by herself while grieving her grandma’s death. The choices you make each day in figuring out life will lead to a unique journey of self discovery. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44105038/14454edabc913f7f2029f16acbdbec4355a933ce.png Fishbowl is a warm and cozy story about living in isolation, nurturing friendships and understanding grief. We are making this game, just the two of us, with both our hearts combined, squeezed and poured into it to the brim. We hope it resonates with all of you! If you are reading this and haven’t wishlisted our game already, please do! ^_^ You can also follow us on Twitter for frequent updates and of course, we will continue to share our journey of making the game here as we go. We still have a long way to go, so please come along and be a part of it. Love, Rhea & Prateek 💜 imissmyfriends.studio
