Hello guys.
How are you today?
Today we still talk about fishing pond. This past week, our artist team make a new design for fishing pond. So, there will be a different look between your normal pond and your fishing pond. We also add a feature to moving out your fish from one pond into another. And some water plant design to show you. Without further ado, let’s check it out!
Fishing Pond
So, actually, our artist team make two designs for how fishing pond will look like. Then we decided to use this design. We chose this design because it’s suite better than the other one.
We decided to make this kind of look because we want to make fishing pond and normal pond looks different. So, you can easily distinguish between fishing pond and normal pond. At first, to distinguish between fishing pond and normal pond, we only used a piece of board with fishing sign on it for fishing pond. But, we thought that fishing board (or sign) is not enough to show or to distinguish between fishing pond and normal pond. That's why we tried to change the appearance of the fishing pond.
We are still looking for a good and smooth way to show the process when you change from normal pond into fishing pond (it won’t be that instant).
Moving Fish
After we have planned a fishing pond feature, we thought that it will be bad if every time you run out of fish on your fishing pond, you must change your fishing pond into normal pond to nurturing some fish. After your fish big enough, you change your normal pond into fishing pond again. That will take too much step for you, right? Or you could change your other normal pond into fishing pond while you're nurturing some fish, but that's kinda troublesome. That's why we come with this feature, moving out your fish. With this feature, you can easily fill your empty fishing pond with new fish from your normal pond.
With this kind of feature, you're not only can move your fish from normal pond to fishing pond but also you can move your fish into any pond you have. You can come with strategy to save your fish from a bad pond with move it to a better pond.
Water Plant
Actually, water plant is an old feature that already done but we decided not to show or use it when we released Aquaculture Land on Steam Early Access in early phase. Water plants will be alternative pond equipment you can use for producing dissolved oxygen for your pond. It won’t produce any noise and cheaper than aerators. It can be used for decoration too and make your pond look beautiful. But, thing to remember, it will increase your pond parasite. We already make several designs for water plant and each of it will have different statuses, just like other pond equipment.
There are still things to do for those new features. We’ll do our best so you can try it soon and enjoy playing it. If you have any suggestion about today’s devlog, maybe about how the change process from normal pond into fishing pond, or if you have any feedback, maybe about new design for fishing pond and water plant, feel free to tell us on discussion.
