Hello everyone,A new build has just been uploaded to steam that includes some new decorations.Four industrial looking rusted pipes and a set of dentures.The dentures are a little strange but I am sure some players will find them to be a lovely addition to their aquariums.There were also a few small bugs fixed. The time it takes for powered objects to break due to maintenance has also been lengthened.More decorative items, bug fixes, and feature tweaks will be coming soon in the next update as long as my PC does not combust due to this heatwave.We wish you all a good weekend and a great Summer

Hello everyone,Small update this week. There is a new decoration added to the game. An aged olde style wooden barrel. This was actually quite an intricate little model that was very fiddly to make and paint in the game's art style but I think it turned out quite nice. It can really tie an aquarium together, so to speak, and animals can use it as a hidey hole.Next update with new art content will come soon. We hope you all have a lovely weekend!The Fishery Team.

Hello everyone!We bring you a nice little update to start off the week. A classical aquarium decoration!A submarine wreck!These types of decorations always create a really nice atmosphere in real life aquariums and now players can add them to their virtual ones. We have been wanting to add more decorations like this for a long time but always something else had to take priority. However now we can focus on adding more cool items like this, so expect more interesting decorations to come into the game soon.Here is how it looks in a tank with a bit more life.There were also a handful of code bugs

Hello everyone,Another new build of the game has been uploaded to steam. Actually quite a few builds have been uploaded in the past few weeks. A lot of them fixed some very tricky and rare bugs that were causing issues for a small selection of players. There were also several small tweaks to some features that players asked for, such as changes to the sandbox settings which allow the game to run without needing any intervention to keep the aquariums happy and healthy. More art content has been added. Not as much as I had hoped but I don't want to get back into the habit of delaying builds so I

Hello everyone!Sorry for the delay for this update. I had a kitchen accident and I had to get some stitches. I have only been able to use one hand so I have focused on fixing code bugs instead of doing art content (I need 2 hands to make new fish). My injury is slowly getting better and I'll be able to get some good art content into April's update.Some bugs were fixed that players pointed out to us. Light colours not correctly being loaded after being customized by players. live bearing fish only produced female offspring. There were also a lot changes made to some code that appears to cause p

Hello everyone!Our latest build is on steam and available for all of you play. It consists entirely of new guppies.Upper Sword Tail:Spear Tail:Spade Tail:Fan Tail:Double Sword Tail:Delta Tail:Lower Sword Tail:We can cross guppies off of our to-do for the rest of the early access period.March's update will also contain new art content too, but it will be more varied. There will be some new decorative items, food, utilities etc. We will probably focus on art content for a while since a lot of time over the past year has been spent on the user interface and other technical aspects of the game.

Daphnia now breed properly.

Hello Everyone!Build 86 is live and it fixes some major issues with the water chemistry system. The biggest issue that has been fixed is the chaotic nature of the water chemistry. It was too reactive and most aquariums needed a lot player intervention in order to stay healthy. It was also not very fun to play. This has now been changed and everything is a lot less chaotic and more predictable. Players should now be able to add fish, plants, food, etc into their aquariums without everything going badly soon thereafter. The numbers will of course be tweaked in every update until it is as close t

Hello everyone!Build 85 is uploaded. It is another small update. It fixes a bug where some male tetras and male guppies never get become fertile enough to breed. This update also enables specific species of fish to give birth to live young instead of laying eggs. All mollies, platies, and guppies in the game have this ability.More updates are coming soon. I'll be back on the forums to answer all the comments soon too.We wish you all a very good weekend.The Fishery Team

Hello everyone!This week's update includes build 84.It is smaller than the previous update but stress responses are now back in the game. The puffer fish now inflate as they become more stressed. In future updates stress responses will vary among all species and in some instances might create an interesting outcome that players may find useful. For example stress certain plants so they release fertility hormones into the water and increase the speed at which fish breed and the number of their offspring per breeding event.There were also some fixes to the fish shaders. There were quite a few un

Hello everyoneBuild 83 is finally on steam!I won't go into too much detail and list all of the changes again here because they have been talked about in all previous news posts for the last couple of years, and those posts are much more detailed. However the most noticeable changes are the new user interface design and the support of many new languages. Those two features required so much work to get finished.Almost every part of the game has been changed in some way. 90% of the code has been changed, hopefully for the better. There is still a vast amount of work left to do in order to finish

Hello everyone,It has been a little while since the last post. I had to take a break to recharge and focus on some other things, and it did me some good because I have been getting lots of things off of the to-do list since returning to Fishery.There has been a lot of focus on food.Daphnia has been added. Though these are a little bigger than real life daphnia. These are a food item that your fish will eat. They can also breed and be placed in storage, which means players could have a dedicated daphnia breeding tank which, if maintained well, will produce endless food for player's fish.Tubifex

Hello everyone, Here is some more progress for you all to see. Maintenance visualized: {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32801732/c4143e402ae1e40d973339b195c8074f3ec8b675.png I spoke about the maintenance feature for utility devices a few updates ago. The shaders have been tweaked to visualize this feature. Once a device is placed into an aquarium and time passes, the appearance of the device will become more dirty looking as it's maintenance value creeps higher. Players will know when a device is nearing it's breaking point because it will look filthy. Once maintenance is then performed by the player it wil

Hello Everyone, This week a lot of work has been done on finalizing all of the aquariums that will be in the game for the rest of the early access period. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32801732/74c096c981b34de486561b0880937febeb4d7a9b.png There are now 30 aquariums of various shapes and sizes that will be available in the next update. I spoke in a previous news post about adding the initial small cylindrical and spherical aquariums. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32801732/810d201190b396fc0e6b3ad95ecafb2c391563e0.png This week the remaining 10 aquariums were added. Time was also spent refining how "squishing" feature
