Hello.
How are you?
For this whole week, our artist team has experimented with making visual feedback for Aquaculture Land. Visual feedback is one of things that is lacking in Aquaculture Land. We realized this after watching some streamer or YouTuber playing the game. They don’t know what is happening with their farm. And we also want to make the game more juicy by adding visual feedback.
Dead Fish animation
The first visual feedback that is made by our team artist was animation when the fish died. Before, when your fish died, an emoticon bubble will come out then your fish gone (basically the emoticon will tell you your fish condition). But we feel like only show emoticon bubble won’t be enough. We still need something that will show you when the fish died. Then we try to make some animation, dead fish animation, that will come out when your fish died.
Bush animation
In Aquaculture Land, bush is something that will grow in your farm over time. If you don’t cut it frequently, bush will fill your farm and make you unable to build pond. We already make a pop-up animation for the bush. But when the bush is being cut and when the bush disappears, there is still no animation. That’s why this time we make visual feedback about it, animation when the bush is being cut and disappear.

Tree Animation
The next one is animations for tree. Just like bush, trees also make you unable to build pond. The difference is if you cut down tree, it won’t grow again. We also make animations for visual feedback when the tree is being cut and when it fall then disappear.

We still experiment will all that visual feedback. We still try to find the best way to show the visual feedback for every single thing that can help player to understand their current condition and to make the game juicier.
Because we still experiment with it, if you have any feedback or suggestions about it, feel free to tell us in the comment section below or in the discussion.
