"Feeder-fish" The new Screensaver from Prolific Publishing.

Same poor goldfish and then you'd buy different creatures that would gobble 'em up. Lionfish, Arrowana, you name it. I'd pay at least the same as for Jim's...

DL,

You forgot to mention Tiny in your request.

Most every feature that has been mentioned for MA will be in GA, and the other way as well.

One ting different about GA is that the tanks sides are closed. We are probably going to offer an On/Off for this.

I like the edge, and as the goldfish get more curious over time, they will do some interesting things as they push up against the glass.

This is a work in progress, and the fish CL (Computer Logic) is going to get better constantly.

Feeding the fish will come. We are working on the details this month. But don’t know when it will go in.

Our primary focus is to get to version 1.0, which will feature more fish, and bubbles. Then we want to accelerate the path.

Jav400 · 04-25-2003, 10:18 AM

For anyone wanting to request or submit new fish/creatures for the photo page, there are a few simple things that would help us get your request processed quickly and up on the page. Of course, you are always welcome to continue to post photos and/or information here.

If you wish, you may also email me photos directly. Send them to my standard forum email address Jav400@comcast.net and I will take care of them for you. We will continue to shoot for high standards for photos, so we would request that you follow a few simple guidelines.

1) Submit photos of high quality, showing a single fish/creature as the primary subject, not a group or schooling shot.

2) About any file format or size is ok, as I will need to change and/or adjust those to fit the new page anyway.

3) Include the name of the fish/creature that you're requesting.

4) Please do not submit duplicates of fish/creatures already shown.

5) Please put Goldfish Wishlist in the subject line.

With this information I should be able to handle your requests in a timely fashion. Hopefully, in addition we will get the voting process in place before too long so everyone can see which fish are the most popular.

Thanks,
Jav

I really would like to see BUBBLE EYES,CELESTIALS AND POM POM!

Marian Nichols · 04-25-2003, 04:02 PM

I second that as well any color veiltail.

1. Q: I really saddens me that Mr. Reichart CTO of Prolific Publishing takes such a dim view of the most beautiful goldfish that was ever bred
a: Mr. Wayne, my first name is Reichart. Pleasure to meet you.
b: I agree they are very pretty. I do not take a dim view of them.
c: What I wrote was "Will not do fish with brains on OUTSIDE of head." which has been interpreted as a negative statement. My statement was free of opinion, although laced with sarcasm.

The reason we will not be doing fish that have their brains on the outside of there head is because it will require too many polygons.

The day may come when this is possible. Pom Poms have the same problem.

However, over time, and with more power, and some more options, anything is possible.

loub516 · 04-26-2003, 06:53 AM

Looking forward to that day. For now I find the current GA and it's possibilities very satisfying.

feldon34 · 04-30-2003, 03:34 PM

Normally, I can do without the PETA people but that just seems cruel to breed creatures to look that way. My opinion.

04-30-2003, 11:43 PM

Wow! I said in an earlier post that the GA goldfish didn't seem quite believable. After looking at some of these pictures, I take it all back. It's these poor mutated creatures that don't look believable! I'll take Ginger (the one I thought was the least believable) over these others anytime.
Reichart, thanks for not creating the GAA (Genetically Abused Aquarium). Keep up the good work.

Reichart · 05-01-2003, 10:49 AM

Thank you. One of the hard parts of our job is waiting for the hysteresis.
One of the things I’m doing today is going through this WHOLE site on GA, and documenting everything everyone has said here, and log it in the Features or Bugs database. Things that are mentioned by more than one person get pushed up in value. Things that get mentioned multiple times by the same person get pushed down in value (just kidding).

What we are already seeing a lot of here is “I hate x”……….”Wait, I love x”

So, I’m patient.

Never-the-less, we continue to improve, and I can tell you now, there is some cool stuff coming.

ROBinLA · 05-01-2003, 03:49 PM

Think I'll have a PETA sandwich. <:0

Oh yeah. Looks like i'm in the minority here, but I always thought Ginger looked most realistic.

Reichart · 05-01-2003, 07:27 PM

Hey Wayne, Rob, I look forward to seeing your faces.
Take a few second, and upload an image.

I sort of think of this place as Cheers, and I want to know if I'm talking to a Norm or a Cliff.

feldon34 · 05-01-2003, 09:36 PM

Hopefully you're not tlakking at all. Might be an occupational hazard.

Wayne, how much would you be willing to pay for your list of 40 (8 x 5) fish?

Reichart · 05-05-2003, 06:14 PM

Unfortunately, it's impossible for the screensavers to be designed in the point of view from the TOP.

A: Impossible? We are actually considering this, along with seveal other views.

Reichart · 05-05-2003, 06:17 PM

[QUOTE I have this strange feeling that the 3rd and as yet unseen goldfish will be calico (fingers crossed).

Either way, I just hope it's got the traditional orange color somewhere on it's body.[/quote]

A: Nothing I love more than “intuition” in writing. However, you will be happy to know that our 4th fish is indeed a Calico, named Cali.

Wizwad · 05-07-2003, 05:44 AM

I downloaded the new beta (N505.0.9.868) last night and was blown away! I really love it. It is SO much a better beta in every way! The plants are excellent (except for the blue bit on the front right plant, which would be better if it were more green) and "Cali" is gorgeous.

Is it me, or has the tail shimmy been slowed down? That also makes it much easier to watch - more relaxing.

From my point of view the only things which still need to be "fixed" are the lighting on the nacreous scales, which should change as the fish moves (see the copperband butterfly fish in the Marine Aquarium) and there's something strange, still, about the mouths. They look good as they open and close, but they don't quite look right.

(I don't really care about the front LEFT plant beeing rootless. Sorry Cliff!

)

Now I'll go and join /Happy Turtle and grin with pleasure.

Marian Nichols · 05-07-2003, 10:20 AM

I too am very please with the newer version. I agree that the swim motion of the caudal fin does seem slower. Still a pleasure to observe. For someone like myself who has waited 10 years for a decent aquarium screeen saver, to finally fine one as spectatular as the Marine Aquarium, and now the Goldfish, my favorite, just is just iceing on the cake!

cjmaddy · 05-07-2003, 11:59 AM

(I don't really care about the front LEFT plant being rootless. Sorry Cliff!

)

Mark, Whilst I'm clearing up this point on another thread, may I clarify it here also?

I too will not lose any sleep if the plant in question never has any roots! - I was emailed by Prolific, with a download link for the GA pre-beta, and asked to comment! ..... That is all I am doing, - commenting, - as asked!
