Rockfish - Troubled Odyssey

Spoiler: Initial speech

Frankly, I didn't think I was going to work on this project again, but I decided to give it another go in the end. When Pixel released this game, it certainly took me by surprise. My joy and curiosity to learn about this project, and the challenges it showed us during development, is beyond words. In the midst of all this, I started thinking about the remake I had done before, and thought, why not port it to this engine? That's when I spent all this time working on and learning every part of this game, to bring it to you!

Have you ever wondered what this little project by Pixel would have been like if it had been a full game (or something like that)?

So I present to you the following mod:


Troubled Odyssey is a Rockfish mod that improves on some of the game's mechanics and recreates areas shown in Pixel's development diaries (also known as Devlogs).
This mod has its story and some characters unrelated to the story of the original game, in an attempt to expand the universe in which the little fish takes place.
The mod began as a proof of concept on the server where the original Rockfish was released. Shortly afterwards, I decided to continue working on this mod, and the rest is history.

Keep in mind that, due to some technical limitations of the game engine, the mod had to be divided into chapters in order to fit all the content made so far. Don't be fooled by these limitations, however, as these chapters can communicate with each other. I encourage you to explore this communication, as they can reveal secrets.

Mod downloads:

• Demo shown on the QVGA server
• Chapters 1 and 2 of the mod (chapter 3 hasn't been started yet)
• Mirrors
• W I D E Version

Spoiler: Screenshots

I'm open to suggestions and feedback for improvising the mod.
Don't expect too many new things from this mod compared to the original Rockfish, as its engine is still under study.

 

rockfish remake deluxe... we're eating good tonight boisengirls (and everything inbetween)

 

I helped playtest this and can confirm that it is of very high quality: With both chapters it is longer than the actual rockfish demo and dare I say a better experience. More things to do and secrets to find with a metroidvania influence as opposed to the short and linear original.

 

Little bump to announce I did an updated version using a new engine made by @alula.
This new engine lets you configure the screen resolution, along with some small tweaks here and there.
