Along with our latest update for Patron and the biggest discount to date, we've also bring some news from our friends at Digital Reef Games!
The Aquatico team has released the first video showing off some of the key gameplay features that you can expect in the game.
If an underwater city builder is your jam, head on over to the Aquatico Steam store page, check it out and wishlist to get all the latest news and info!
Aquatico is a survival city builder set deep beneath the waves. Choose your strategy, obtain resources, build your futuristic city and prove no challenge is too hard.
Today we’re releasing the next update and this one is linked to several features frequently mentioned by our players.
First of all, we’ve added another manually created map to play on. There are also several changes to how Foresters work (their efficiency and types of trees they plant – now they depend on the map type and the prevailing vegetation in that specific biome).
The next frequently asked change relates to ranches – sometimes the rate of using animals for meat production impeded production of other possible resources from the same ranch. With new changes, this shouldn’t happen anymore.
In the bug-fixing department, we’ve modified the duration of several tooltips (when left too long on-screen they obscured the view of the grid making building-placement tricky), and also fixed some potential stability and performance issues.
CHANGES
ADDED: Additional hand crafted map
UPDATED: Forester will not plant just random types of trees, but the type of tree which already exist closest to the location of the planting
UPDATED: Every tree planted by the Forester will now grow 10% faster
UPDATED: Hint displaying the name of the building will now disappear after a few seconds, to avoid visual obstruction
UPDATED: Changed the way ranches work – only 50% of animals will be slaughtered for meat, and only adult ones come into calculation. Basically, you’ll always have some adult animals remaining for additional products, such as milk or similar
FIXED: Addressed several reported bugs and glitches
Enjoy and until next update! Overseer Games team

Greetings Patrons!
Since the last update there was a bit of a pause, but we're certain it will be worth the wait. There were some new things we've been preparing for the game mechanics, lots of new content and numerous glitch fixes. Some game elements had to be replaced so it took a bit of time.
So, what's new? First of all, there are several new buildings (and fancy buildings btw ːsteamhappyː ), with appropriate several new professions for your workers. You'll be able to test it all on two additional new maps. And once you get filthy rich, there is a new system for placing big beautifications (plazas) - much easier to use and organize the marvels you have in your head. Additionally, a number of new beautification objects has been added, from fancy metal, brick and stone fences to more statues, parks, courtyards and such.
Some of these additions are mutually non-exclusive, so you can, for example, pave a large area with wide plazas, then place other objects on top of them. We tried to make a system that will allow you to showcase your in-game success as easy as possible.
With beautification objects like statues, don't forget you can also cycle between available models with the corresponding shortcut key (if there are more then one possible type).
Tower bridge is another new object, just in case an ordinary bridge disrupts your desired fancy city "skyline".
This update also brings a number of bug fixes, based primarily on your reports. We'd like to thank you all for the feedback and reports in the past weeks. If there are more things to be ironed out, keep us aware and we'll pursue them in future updates!
That's it for now, I'm certain I forgot a lot of smaller details, but you'll notice them as you play.
CHANGES
ADDED: Two new additional world maps: Sierra and Wrapped island
ADDED: New 4 buildings: Prison, Embassy, Farm center and Tax office
ADDED: New 5 decorations; Squares and Courtyards
ADDED: New Tower bridge object
ADDED: New iron fence object
ADDED: New system to place and expand plazas
ADDED: New 3 visual types of plazas
ADDED: New 4 professions for workers: Prison guard, Ambassador, Agriculturist and Taxer
ADDED: New in options menu: atmospheric effect. You can now enable/disable weather effects
ADDED: New graphics for main menu and loading screen
UPDATED: Another batch of optimizations with various calculations
FIXED: Resolved numerous smaller technical issues
Have fun and until next time! Overseer Games team

Time for another quick update.

Govern on!
First look into 2022
Hello everyone!
Welcome all to 2022! Hope you enjoyed a good celebration and fingers crossed this Year will be kind to everyone!
As our Patron citizens work hard to expand their city and build a good life for themselves, our team is also steaming ahead. At this time, we'd like to share some pieces of immediate plans already in motion for the upcoming update:
- Additional buildings and beautifications for your city - New quests offering rewards upon completion (of type „reach X amount of production for certain resource, then gain reward in different resource from our King) - Additional hints for some game mechanics - Tweaks and optimizations for transport mechanics - Another optimization pass
Numerous smaller fixes and improvements, based on your continuous feedback, are ofcourse mandatory.
This will be only first of updates for 2022, more to come afterwards.
On a side note – during holidays a lot of players spent many hours ingame, and we wish to congratulate everyone that successfully completed the entire research/expansion tree. According to provided feedback, many of you used all sorts of tactics to succeed, and it was great to see what some of you pulled off, in terms of both population heights or development pace.
With upcoming updates, we'll try to expand the amount of possibilities even further!
Govern on!
