We're really proud of what we're kicking Early Access off with and are getting fantastic responses to the demo and from those who have had advance access to the release build. We made the game we wanted to play, and it looks like we're not alone. And hey, if you're not ready to buy it yet, a wishlist still really helps us out!
You can expect a MUCH more content heavy and more comprehensive version of the game than in the demo.
You can expect everything listed on the store page and more.
Basic content:
50 species of fish
50 species of plants
25 types of hardscape, most with multiple variations
13 fish shops
We've also got a first pass--but I think pretty solid (I may be biased)--on the fishkeeper progression system to ease players into the experience. It starts you out with creative and more freeform organic tank building, but as you gain more experience the game opens up to be more detailed and intentional with your designs.
Unlockables:
- tank slots
- inventory slots
- tank sizes: small, medium, large, huge, & custom
- custom tanks
- shops
- tools - plant trimming, algae scrubbing, substrate vacuum
- photo mode
- backgrounds
- substrate colours
And of course, bugs! It's an early access game after all! But nothing game-breaking we're aware of, so please let us know if you encounter anything. Make use of the feedback button on the menu if you find anything you want to report, or if you simply have ideas you'd like to share.
As for future features, there are plenty more coming! We'll have frequent content updates, and more substantial milestone gameplay updates throughout the year which are roughly listed here.
On the early access note: Don't get too attached to your keeper profiles. There is a good chance major systems updates will wipe your saves. So take lots of pictures and don't get too attached to anything just yet. We'll try to make sure to give everyone a heads' up when these updates are about to happen.
