This week we don't have an actual update, mainly because a very large update is in preparation, so we don't want to interrupt our work on that beauty before everything is ready.
But we did want to share some details on the first important part of that update - so called "Creative" mode.
Many of you will recognize this from dozens of your suggestions we received in weeks following the game's release. So, since you wanted it so much, we've decided it really can be a very good addition to the game.
What exactly is the creative mode?
Well, the creative mode is one of three main game modes that will be unlocked with the next major update. All of these modes will be selectable when you start a new game. And creative mode sets a specific game conditions and rules. Basically, when playing in creative mode, challenges are turned off (shark attacks, pirate attacks, megalodons), your resources are infinite, and your citizens/drones will always be replenished to any needed number. In addition, the research tree will be fully completed and therefore, all buildings and options will be available from the first minute of your play-session,
Your only task will be to unleash your imagination to the full extent and build your own paradise beneath the waves. You'll have no limits, you can build anything anywhere and your only concern will be to make the wildest possible vision of your underwater city, unrestricted by any game rules, resource shortages or citizen happiness.
We're confident you'll have plenty of ideas what to create in this mode, and hopefully you'll share your creations with the other players too!
In other news - the second part of the incoming major update, Atlantis Project is entering final testing soon. Its introduction requires some changes to balancing variables, and since many players have wildly different ways to play Aquatico, it is necessary to find a fine balance for everyone.
We are hugely excited to bring you all these additions, and we're positive they will enhance your game experience significantly, both when using "serious" game mode with all the rules in place, and when using creative mode to construct your insane visions.
Until next time!
Keep an eye on your oxygen levels!
