Hello.
It’s been a long time since we posted the last devlog. These past few months we’re focused on implementing visual feedback and new UI design to the game (and fixing bugs and balancing too). Along with it, we also redesign the order feature. In this new design, we want you to make a relationship with the customer so you will become their trusted aquaculture businessman.
So, without further ado, here's today's devlog for you!
CUSTOMER
There will be 11 customers (in total) for the new order feature. Each customer will give you a different order based on their job and personality. Yes, customers will have their own job and personality. What kind of fish they will order and other criteria like deadline, quality, and weight will be based on their job and personality. There will be customers from supermarkets, restaurants, food vloggers, and many others.
But if you want to get orders from different customers, you need to unlock them first. You need to reach a certain farm level (player level before, now we called it “Farm Level”) along with fame level and loyalty level to unlock them.
Customers will have loyalty level. To make a good relationship with them, you need to make sure that their orders are fulfilled properly. You will get a loyalty exp point every time you fulfill their orders properly. With this loyalty exp point, you can increase your loyalty level. The higher loyalty level you reach, the greater the reward you get from the order.
ORDER
The new order will have few more criteria than the old one to complete it. Deadline, quality, fame point, and loyalty point will be added to order. If in the current version, the focus is only on weight of the fish, in the new design you need to pay attention to the deadline and quality of the fish too. Because if you can’t deliver the order within the deadline, your order will be failed and deleted. And if your fish quality is lower than your customer needs, you can’t deliver it.
Beside that, order will not only give you money and farm level exp and loyalty point, but also a fame point. You need to collect fame points to level up your fame level. You will see this fame level as a bar that contains fame points. This fame level will affect your order and visitor. The higher the fame level, the faster orders and visitors come. So, if you want to get order quicker, you need to make sure you’re maintaining the fame level in a good state. There will be certain conditions that can make your fame points decrease. And the worst thing if you get your fame points very low, you will find it difficult to get orders.
We have prepared everything we need for this new design of order feature. We are currently balancing all things relating to it. We hope that everything will run smoothly so that we can show this update to you soon.
