development update #44

Hello everyone,

It is Friday once again and we are very glad to be able to say once again say that we have in point of fact actually succeeded in uploading a brand new build of the game on time and as planned.

We have been hard at work adding more new art content into the game.

Female Blue Grass Guppy


The is a female blue grass guppy. Unfortunately most female guppies look rather similar to each other. They have fleshy semi-transparent bodies and quite often mostly transparent fins. We used a bit of artistic licence with this one to keep it looking interesting and identifiable. As some of you may know the male guppies are more elaborately coloured. They are similar to peacocks in the way that they have larger tales with bright colourful patterns. He is still being worked on and we are aiming to have him done next week.

Ruined Pillar:


We have not added a new decoration in a while. This ancient ruin of a pillar is the first of a "themed pack" of ancient ruins that will give players more creative options. That is after all one of the main points of the game, creativity. There are lots of things that will be added to the ancient ruins pack. Statues, ornamentations, pillars, bricks, mosaic pieces, pottery etc. Hopefully it will be enough for players to design their own crumbling temples, streets or even an amphitheatre.

Kiwi Slice:


Kiwi Invasion:


More food has been added. A delicious slice of Kiwi fruit. Perhaps it is not a good idea to put a slice of kiwi into a real aquarium because it's PH is close to 3 which might upset the PH balance in an aquarium considerably. We have not added PH to the game yet but we will and there will be numerous items that modify the PH such as the kiwi.

Duck:


Quack!...There will be some items added to the game that may at first seem bizarre but are all part of the fun and will affect other things in the simulation. For instance there will be some items that cause behavioural changes in fish and other animals that will not be revealed be us but will instead only be revealed by players experimenting and observing. I shall therefore reveal no more about the secret of the duck. It's secret has not yet been added into the game but it will be added at some indeterminate point in the future.


Next week we hope to have more decorations finished and the male blue grass guppy finished and in the game. We hope you all have a great weekend.
