Hi msky-dev, Retro Pond’s fish-breeding systems and shareable creations feel like a distinctive use of procedural design. We’re inviting a small group of indie developers to try an AI game-creation product for free and join upcoming model tests. Your experience integrating AI-assisted text into a systems-heavy 2D simulation would bring a useful perspective.

So elegant! I love the bold interface with low pixel count, feels just right!

Thanks. This game does not just use pixel-art styled sprites it actually runs on a resolution of 320x240.
