Will the Aquarium be ported to HTML5 like towns and rally? I couldn't buy anything in Phin Phang shop for alchemy while in mobile. I'd also like to play Booty Grab in my phone and tablet too.


It is not up to me, but the technical requirements are a nightmare for the aquarium.

As Codemonkey said, the main issue is that flash is a very good at handling things like animation, while converting things like the swimming behaviors into HTML5 would be a tremendous amount of work for the number of fishes we have.

What will Housing be like when we transition to HTML5?


I will be like, a lot of work!

I'm not sure. We have to get the new spaces system (Rally) nice and polished before we can even start thinking about houses.

What are the plans to move the games off flash to a another platform after flash gets turned off?


We will convert or replace as many games as possible using HTML5

Games: Conversion
When will game conversions to HTML5 be expected, and which games would be in the list?
It would be nice to finally play on mobile.


I'm working on it. I'm not sure which games will make the list. Jigsaw can be a bit tricky. Which one is your favorite?

The nostalgic classic Slots, Fishing, and zOMG xD
Thank you for all of your hard work, and all the staff. I wish all well for everyone and the families.


Slots should be easy enough since we built that code for lucky catch.

Are there any new games that you'd like to see?

More skilled puzzle games like Tiles, Switchem and Word Bump, plus I hope those aren't at the bottom of your list to convert.

Is Switchem now in HTML format?


Those are the type of games I do best. Switchem is indeed in HTML5.

[responding to codemonkey's first question]
Puzzles and then fishing... gonk Somehow I feel like you'll have to completely remake fishing... Can I suggest the stardew mechanics...? I totally feel like Chucklefish stole this from Gaia. lol But I find fishing in Stardew a ton easier than on Gaia with just the clicking mechanic than the movement mechanic, probably easier on mobile too ?


You can certainly suggest it, but I've not a clue to what you are talking about. Stardew? Chucklefish?

[dreamsk replied to this with a YouTube trailer for the video game Stardew Valley.]
