A fish can begin as a sketch, a family drawing or a ready-made design in Drawquarium. The aquarium sandbox from developer byKaleb and publisher rokaplay is scheduled to arrive on Steam on November 13, giving players a place to draw their own underwater inhabitants and watch them move.
The idea has a personal starting point. Kaleb, a 3D artist working in the film industry, says he began developing the game partly because he wanted to see his children's drawings come to life. On November 3, he shared his response to the attention the release-date trailer had received.

From canvas to aquarium
The Steam listing describes an editor with templates as well as room to make original fish and plants. Players can also use ready-made fish. Once placed in the tank, creatures can interact with one another, while feeding and caring for them earns scales for decorations.

Publisher material says players can draw with a mouse or a supported pen tablet and import PNG images. That gives an illustration made elsewhere a route into the same aquarium as a design made inside the game.
A creative companion for the desktop
The aquarium can be set as an animated desktop wallpaper. The publisher also lists optional tools including a timer, journal and task manager, placing the drawing experience alongside everyday computer use.
A free demo is available on Steam ahead of the full release. The announced date is for the PC version; the full game has not yet launched.
