Hello.

Today's devlog will talk about the upkeep system, one of the ways that we use to balance the Aquaculture Land system. We are still trying to make the system more balanced so that it is more enjoyable to play. This time, the upkeep system that we tried to implement in the game is upkeep in ponds and equipment.

Pond Upkeep
In the current version, weekly expenses that charged to the player are only from the worker's salary. To balance income and expenses, we try to add upkeep to the pond in the form of maintenance money for the pond. Calculation of upkeep that needs to be paid from one pond based on the size of the pond. So, the bigger or more ponds you owned, the more expenses will be spent by the player for the upkeep system.



Equipments Upkeep
For pond equipment, we balance the price and status of each equipment. We do this to make each equipment different from one another, not only in terms of price but also in terms of usage. Just like ponds, we also add upkeep to equipment. Upkeep that needs to be paid for equipment based on how expensive the equipment you have. So the more expensive equipment you have, the more upkeep you will need to pay. But the more expensive the price of equipment, the better the status of the equipment.



We will continue to balance the system for the next few weeks. We will try to ensure that the next version is balanced enough before updating the game. We hope after we update the game with a more balanced system, it will make you enjoy playing Aquaculture Land.

So, that's it for today's devlog. If you have suggestions or feedback, feel free to tell us.

Have a nice day.
Cheers!
