Devlog 03 - Translation & System Balancing (Breeding & Fish)


Hello.

In today's devlog we are still talking about balancing. In the previous devlog we discussed the system upkeep in ponds and equipment, this time balancing for fish and breeding. There is a discussion about translation too.

Unlock Fish
We made a slight change to the flow to unlock new fish. We try to balance the system by add cost if you want to unlock new fish. Besides having to reach a certain level, you need to buy a license for the fish to be unlocked. The player also needs to pay a sum of money each month for each fish license he buys. It's like a tax for the fish license.



Breeding Cost
For the current version, you can use the breeding feature when you reach level 7. You will earn breeding points when the fish reach level 3. With these breeding points, you can use the breeding feature and make your basic fish status increase.

We changed the concept slightly by adding costs to breeding. So besides using breeding points, you need to pay some money to use breeding feature. As with breeding points, the amount of money that needs to be paid will increase each time you breed the same fish.



Localizor
Translation is one of the ways that we use to make a collaboration with the community. We already made a thread about community translation in the steam discussion before (you can check it here).

Right now, we're doing a collaboration with a translation platform that will make the flow of community translation become easier. The platform name is Localizor. With Localizor, you just need to sign up and choose your translation language. We have prepared all the words that need to be translated. Just translate the words into your chosen language and let the community vote if your translation is good enough or not. We hope with this kind of way, we can add more language to Aquaculture Land faster so you can play Aquaculture Land with your own language.

In the Localizor, you can also translate other games like Academia, Overcrowd, Airport CEO, and others. You can collect some points (from votes you get from community) and redeem steam key.

For your information, the developer that creates Localizor is the same as the developer that creates Startup Company.

But if you don't want to use Localizor and still want to help us with translation, feel free to tell us in the community translation thread.

We try to give system upkeep and routine expenses to some features to make the system more balanced. Especially the economic system. We got feedback that said the economic system is still not balanced enough. It's still too easy to earn money, income and expenses are still not in balance state and something like that. That's why we try to balance the system because we want to make Aquaculture Land is enjoying but still challenging to play.

We will end today's devlog here. As usual, if you have suggestions or feedback, just tell us in the comment section below. We will always wait for your feedback and review for the game. We will do our best to make Aquaculture Land better.

Have a nice day.
Cheers!
