  • at the exhibition, it is possible to buy an automatic vacuum cleaner that will save us from cleaning up the rubbish after tourists
  • in aquariums, algae appear more slowly, and soil formation is gradual
  • in store aquariums an option has been added that customers can only buy fish from them if the player wants to
  • added consumption system for some items such as: fish food, soil, paint. Items wear out and need to be disposed of after finishing
  • in the aquarium in the largest reservoir, plants no longer disappear! The bug that after loading the game all the fish appeared in the same place has also been removed
  • fixed a bug that prevented some players from passing the first level in the child's room (it was not possible to buy goldfish)

We are on Simfest!

Hotfix #3 is in the house!

Hello and welcome to another, not one and not only, hotfix reveal!
Let us present to you...

  • new improved way to rotate items (much more intuitive)! When editing a decoration, holding the right mouse button, left-click on it and drag it in the direction in which we want it to rotate. Let me know if you like this way of arranging more ːsteamhappyː
    PS. Unfortunately for this reason some freshwater plants turned 90 degrees in your games, we are sorry for that, but thanks to this change a new rotation system was possible. It is enough to pick up such a plant and put it back in for it to repair itself
  • improved inventory! after completing the tutorial (from the level in the basement), the items will go directly to our inventory after purchase, and only when it is full, they will go to the table!
  • lamps and heaters in the aquarium level no longer fly off when you try to inspect them
  • guests' rubbish that landed outside the building will be removed and nothing else will get there anymore
  • fixed bugreporter bugs, now it will no longer break the game after sending it, so feel free to write us some bug letters ːsteamhappyː
  • our father at the beginning explains where he has so much strength that he is able to lift a filled aquarium by himself
  • lamps always remember the correct color
  • one of the materials applied to the wall was incorrectly saved and disappeared when loading, now it works correctly
  • when letting guests into our locations, we no longer see the currently worn item, while we view our exhibition from different angles
  • small UI fixes for display text
  • fixed bug with plants that sometimes became transparent on display
  • you cannot paint the walls with a paint bucket alone
  • the power door remains closed after loading the game
  • many minor bugs fixed

Let us know how you like the new update!
Thank you for keeping us informed and improving the game!

Hotfix #2 is here!

Hello fellow Aquarists!

Happy to tell you, hotfix #2 is now ready to be downloaded!

A list of changes and bugs that we've taken care of:
  • fixed bug that in the basement on the work table there were two aquariums at once. Once the game is loaded, the bug will fix itself and won't show up anymore
  • removed bug with the mouse disappearing and preventing from endind some conversations...
  • decorations now have a static option in the audit mode. When we set the decoration in this way, it will not move and react with other decorations (no more broken compositions by accident! ːsteamhappyː) until we change it or pick it up
  • the rubbish exhibition will no longer appear in inaccessible places (we are working on those that are currently in the wrong places, how to get them out for you... ːsteamthumbsupː)
  • more than one dead fish can be caught in the net. we still catch alive one by one
  • fixed system that allows you to prevent selling items to customers in the store, now works properly
  • in the oceanarium, in a large tank, you can put food for the fish from the top ːsteamthisː
  • improved visibility and commands for the aquarium cleaning quest for the client
  • small fixes for UI display in some languages
  • angelfish is not an anglefish anymore...
  • assigning custom keys to interactions correctly completes the task of using them
  • when changing the language, the names of items and descriptions are now correctly changed to the new language

Thank you for your feedback, comments, DMs and reviews! Without them we wouldn't be able to adress so many issues. We are happy to be sharing this experience with you together. It's our biggest joy to improve the gameplay and make it fun for you ːsteamhappyː

Sea you soon!
