APICO News

Hey Beekeepers!

APICO is part of Farming Fest, with a 60% discount on the game and all OSTs until May 6th!

Unfortunately because of this event I can't schedule a discount on 20th May when the new 4.0 content drops as it would be too close, so if you've been waiting for a good time to pick up APICO or wanted to wait for a sale to try it with all the content updates - this might be the time! The next sale won't be until Summer later in the year (although I am trying to request a Daily Deal from Steam for 4.0!)

Bee sure to check out all the other games in the festival here

Hey Beekeepers!

To get you ready for the final content update for APICO, FletchMakes will be streaming the new content along with me, Ell!

Tune in here on Steam on Friday 26th April at 5PM BST to see a sneak peak of the new gameplay as well as ask me things about the new content or the game in general

Hope to see ya there ~ Ell

Hey Beekeepers!

Exciting news today, I can reveal that the 3rd and final free content update for APICO, "Hive Of Industry", will be dropping on PC+Switch on May 20th, aka International Bee Day, aka APICO's birthday!

This update will bring new honeycore mechanics, automation machines, cute pets, seasonal events, a butt-load of decoration, new music, more bees, more butts, and a whole lot of QoL bits and bobs you've all been after - check out the trailer below for a preview:

If you still want to know more, you can check out the patch notes for the upcoming content early over on the wiki!. It's a big one (and thats without all the bug fixes!) but should make for a wonderful farewell for us all.

Keep an eye out over the next few weeks for a few events, including a livestream / AMA type thing, plus the new soundtrack in all it's glory

Hi friends, hope you’re doing well!

It’s already the beginning of a new month, and you know the drill: it’s time for a new recap!

APICO took part in Humble's Exceptional Indie Allies Bundle, along with 6 other amazing games, to celebrate Black History Month and raise money for NPower.

Big thanks to everyone who supported the cause - so far you’ve helped raise over $25,000! (Also if you’re quick you can still grab the bundle today!)

Ell took a little week break from finishing APICO’s Honeycore Update to join this year’s LÖVE game jam with their submission, “Synthesis”! In Ell’s own words;

this year the theme was “interface” so… you know I had to! I wanted to make a bit of an abstract puzzle game where the player isn't taught any controls and has to learn through trial and error, and I'm happy with how it all ended up! It was also my first time making music for a game so... enjoy that lol

You can try out the jam game over on itch.io here!

Whitethorn Games, APICO’s publisher, held a celebration of gaming across all the games in their catalogue through a showcase and Steam event (you can catch the vod here)

While we didn’t have anything to show, there was some nice sneak peaks at our sibling games, like Magical Delicacy and Botany Manor!

It’s been a bit of a slow year so far, with not much to share while Ell plugs away at finishing the final update, however we have got some lovely things planned for the 4.0 launch to look forward to, so be sure to keep an eye out.

We’ll also havs the Steam Spring Sale coming very soon (March 14th!) with the deepest discount to-date for APICO and the soundtracks, so a perfect time to pick up APICO and catch up with everything before the last update

Aaand that was February at TNgineers! As always, thank you so much for your support
Take care!
Manon, Ell and Jamie
