Hello!
Back again with Aquaculture Land devlog. For your information, last week we just updated Career Mode to Aquaculture Land. It is still a short version of Career Mode, but there are new kinds of things you can try like a new way to take requests from your customers, new type of request, and more. You can see the details here.
And today we will discuss the main features of the redesign that we do on the Career Mode, the customer request system. As we mentioned before, in this new design, all things will be more customer-centric. Your goal in playing Aquaculture Land is to build relationships with your customers. You will have a customer relationship level that shows how close you are to the customer. And to raise this level of customer relationship, you have to complete requests from customers.
Main Request and Repeatable Request
In this new design, requests from customers will be divided into 2, "Main Request" and "Repeatable Request". Main Request is a request related to the story of the game and you can only do it once, whereas Repeatable Request is a request that you can take repeatedly to raise your customer relationship level with existing customers.
There are 2 types of Main Request, Unique Request and Customer Request. And for Repeatable Requests only the Customer Request.
Unique Request
Unique Request is a request in the form of a scenario that you will only encounter for the purposes of the story. It's a little bit different from Customer Request type which directly involved with the customer, unique request more towards a thing that you need to do besides fulfilling the request from customers.
Unique Request: Reach Relationship Level 2 on Bernard.
Customer Request
Customer Request is a type of request related to the main features that are involving customers such as customer orders, market, and visitors (fishing). Actually there are 7 types of Customer Requests we design for the game. But, we only implemented 2 of them in the short version of Career Mode. And that 2 types of Customer Requests are Urgent Order and Market Demand.
Customer Request: Urgent Order Request
Urgent Order Request is a type of customer request in which customer will request an amount of fish to you. If you have played Aquaculture Land before, you will be familiar with this type of request. You just need to pay attention to the weight required and the minimum average quality of the fish.
Customer Request: Market Demand Request
Market Demand Request is one of the new types of customer requests. This request is a customer request which is related to the market. Before, we already implemented a feature called market demand where if you are selling one kind of fish to the market too often, their market demand will decrease, and that will affect their market price (the lower the market demand is, the lower the market price becomes).
Market Demand Request needs you to decrease the demand of the fish to a certain point, according to the target demand of the request.
Later, the types of Customer Requests will be spread among existing customers. There will be some customers who have requests that are related to customer orders and some that are related to the market and visitors.
Every time you’ve completed the request, you will get a customer relationship exp. and some money for rewards. You can raise the customer relationship level for each customer this way. And when customer relationship level reaches a certain point, you can unlock some features or items. A little sneak peeks, you will get something special if you can reach level 10 (max level) of your customer relationship level.
There are 5 types of Customer Requests that we still working on. Another request related to order, another quest related to market demand, and other 3 types of customer requests related to the visitor. But, let's talk about it another time, okay?
So, this will be the end of today’s devlog. We hope this new main feature will make you more enjoy and feel more challenged when playing Aquaculture Land. And as we mentioned before, we already implemented these new features on Career Mode. So, if you want to know how are these new features, make sure you try the Career Mode.
And as always, if you have any suggestions or feedback about these new features or maybe about the game, feel free to tell us. That will really help us to make Aquaculture Land better so you can more enjoy to play it.
