Love the Aquarium. Bought the retail boxed version from Fry's. It looks fantastic on my system.
Observation:
I just downloaded the update to version 1.1 and noticed my framerate dropped from a smooth and steady 75 fps (refresh rate) @1280x1024x32 down to 62 fps after the install. Running Windows XP, Pentium 4 2.26 GHz, 512 MB DDR, GeForce4 TI 4600.
Suggestion:
Is there a chance of releasing a toolkit so the fast-growing user community could create add-on "fish modules" for download from fan sites? Perhaps a small utility could take 3D Studio files as input and spit out your format? Maybe it could read behavior scripts written in a simple text-based language? That sort of tool set would speed up the process of adding new fish, as well as providing the tinkering user community with a means to enhance your product. This approach has worked to increase the popularity of numerous other software packages.
Just a thought.
