Hello, Aquascapers!

Following our exploration of the Similarity Challenge in the previous devlog, we're now thrilled to delve into the next step after completing the challenge: Similarity Valuation. In this devlog, we'll closely examine what this feature encompasses, including the subsequent processes, its varying difficulty levels, and the mechanics of similarity calculation.



Once players have unlocked Project License B and above, they will receive an email from clients specifically tailored to Project Level B. This email introduces a unique challenge: creating a specific aquascape design requested by the client. As a player, your task is to precisely recreate the target design.



Similarity Valuation evaluates various aspects of your aquascape design. It considers the types of items used, their quantities, as well as their placement and terraforming on the aquatic landscape. This comprehensive assessment ensures that every detail aligns with the client's requirements.



We are currently in the testing phase, aiming to enhance the excitement and challenge for players. The difficulty level will vary based on the project's complexity. Early projects will be relatively easier, allowing players to familiarize themselves with the feature. As players progress to higher-level projects, the challenges will become more demanding, pushing your aquascaping skills to the limit.

Our goal is to create a captivating experience that tests your creativity, attention to detail, and ability to replicate intricate designs. The Similarity Valuation feature aims to immerse you in the world of aquascape design, offering a rewarding and challenging gameplay experience.



Stay tuned for further updates as we continue to fine-tune and optimize this feature. We value your feedback and look forward to hearing your thoughts on how we can make the Similarity Valuation even more engaging and enjoyable.

Hello, Aquascapers!

Today, we're thrilled to unveil an exciting addition to Aquascape Simulator's higher level license projects: the "Similarity Challenge." As you progress through your aquascape journey, clients will task you with replicating specific target designs. However, before taking on these projects, a Project License must be purchased to validate your capabilities.

Now, let's dive into the details:
1. Higher Level License Projects: At this stage, clients entrust you with their vision and expect you to recreate a specific aquascape design. These projects require a higher level of skill and attention to detail, challenging you to showcase your ability to mimic intricate designs.



2. Target Design: Each higher-level license project comes with a target design provided by the client. This design serves as a blueprint for your aquascape creation. Pay close attention to the client's requirements, including the arrangement of hardscapes, placement of plants, and overall aesthetic.



3. Attention to Detail: Observe every detail in the target design, ensuring your creation mirrors the client's expectations. Focus on replicating specific plants, the layout of hardscapes, and the overall theme for the desired similarity.

4. Valuation and Client Satisfaction: Your design will be evaluated based on its proximity to the target design. The more closely you align your aquascape with the provided blueprint, the higher the valuation and client satisfaction you will receive. Strive for perfection to maximize your rewards.

This new similarity challenge adds a layer of realism and professional development to your aquascape journey. It tests your observational skills, attention to detail, and ability to recreate designs, allowing you to refine your expertise.



While lower-level projects grant creative freedom, higher-level projects demand precision. Rise to the challenge, impress your clients, and unlock new opportunities as you establish yourself as a respected aquascape designer.

Hello, Aquascapers!

Today, we're eager to highlight the key features that define the immersive and rewarding experience of Aquascape Simulator. Let's delve into the elements that make the game a unique and enjoyable venture:

1. Nature Exploration: A feature that allows players to gather various aquascape elements using a wide range of available equipment. There are 4 expansive exploration spaces that you can enter after purchasing access tickets. The environmental variations include forest, river, beach, and rocky areas. This nature exploration is presented in a first-person view.



2. Item Hunting: Part of the players' activity prior to developing the desired layout and composition of the aquascape. Each item has a specific location that needs to be visited. There are four types of items that can be collected: rocks, wood, plants, and fish. Occasionally, certain types of items require special tools to obtain them.



3. Aquascaping: The main activity in this game, with the primary objective of creating aquascapes with the most desired layout and composition for clients or the market. This activity is supported by various abilities within the sandbox system, such as item deployment, modification, deletion, terraforming, and item snapping.



4. Co-Op Multiplayer: A feature that allows players to invite friends or other players to join them in collecting hardscape items to create more captivating aquascape designs. By collaborating with others, players can enhance their creative possibilities and make their aquascapes truly stand out. Work together, gather the perfect hardscape elements, and unleash your best design.



5. Client-Based Projects: The first type of business model where players can earn money by completing aquascape projects at clients' homes. There are four project levels corresponding to the player's reputation: Level C, B, A, and S (Paludarium). Each level has specific characteristics, where higher levels indicate greater complexity and appeal in the expected aquascape. This business model is also effective in gaining reputation points.



6. Similarity Valuation: A feature that challenges players' ability to recreate stunning aquascapes with precision and attention to detail. Players are presented with reference to aquascape. Their task is to carefully examine the reference and replicate it as closely as possible. From hardscape arrangements to plant selection and positioning, every aspect must be carefully considered to achieve a high similarity score.



7. Market/Bidding System: The second business model that allows players the freedom to create their own dream aquascape. The completed aquascapes will be submitted to the auction mechanism and evaluated by multiple bidders based on their individual preferences, enabling players to choose the best offer they can take. This business model is very effective in generating cash.



7. Story & Business Expansion: is the player's journey in playing this game through the improvement of equipment quality and the scale of their business. In broad terms, players start their business from the cycle of searching for items in nature and building aquascapes from them. In the long run, players can establish their own cultivation system and sell aquascapes at the Paludarium level.



These key features form the core experience of Aquascape Simulator, allowing you to explore, gather, design, and sell your aquascapes. Whether you seek tranquility in nature, artistic expression, or the thrill of a bustling marketplace, our game offers something for every aquascaping enthusiast.

We're thrilled to have you join us on this immersive journey. If you have any questions about the discussed features or anything related to the Aquascape Simulator game, feel free to leave a comment or post on our discussion forum. We greatly value your feedback and engagement.
