Hello! I love Smarter Every Day and the developer. My computer isn't good enough to run the game.. so I don't actually know what its like (but hope to some day). I just had some ideas that may or may not be implemented as I cannot play;

I hope so much success for you and your family <3.

1. Chill/Lofi Mode - I imagine just streaming my fish and tank to to my T.V. and leaving it on as background as I do work or read (almost like a virtual fire place). You could have some relaxing music. In chill/lofi mode all pet maintenence (cleaning/feeding/etc...) is turned off. I don't want another stressor in my life I just want to have a tank which allowed me to express myself creatively, filled with fish and decor that makes me happy, that I can leave on. Not to say cleaning mode is bad, i'd just like the option to be lazy when life is difficult.

2. Alternate settings- I don't know what the backgrounds or settings of these tanks are but being able to have cool different backgrounds could be nice, add ambiance, and help transport the gamer do their fantasy location. i.e. maybe I want my fish tank in the window of a house in Paris with the Eiffel tower in the background. Maybe I want to be in Japan, or maybe in a forest lodge on a rainy day.

3. Alternate views - Perhaps my tank could be viewed through the eyes of a creature in the tank. I'm imagining I take control and see through the eyes of a creature in the tank (maybe it can walk on the glass or float wherever I want). I can move it to where I want and set the perspective and enjoy the view from there.

Anyways, good luck and I hope to try it out some day!
