Amazing Cultivation Simulator was released on Early Access in January 2019. It’s been a long road, and finally the game moved to full release with a brand new English localization. We’re witnessing how sales from outside of China are experiencing a huge spike. We want to thank all the international community of gamers for your support – for us is very special to see a game with such a deep root in Chinese mythology, religion and beliefs being so appreciated by Western players.

We've been testing and improving the English version for several months. In this process, we counted on the help of players who helped us finding bugs as well as grammar and spelling errors. Our deepest thanks to them for their invaluable help. Since their work has been essential to make this project successful, they deserved to be in the game credits: please take a look after finishing your adventure!

That said, we want to announce that tonight an extraordinary event will happen in the world of the game… but only the worthy ones will get to experience it! But don’t worry if you just got the game and are taking your first steps as a cultivator: you’ll get this special event as soon as you meet the conditions (as explained in our previous post), regardless of how much time has passed.

But this full release does not mean the end of the road for Amazing Cultivation Simulator. We will keep working hard to make this game the best way to live the magic of Chinese supernatural fantasy. We kindly invite you to join our wonderful community on Discord or the Steam forums, and send us your suggestions and feedback to improve the game – be it ideas for gameplay, future content, or ways to improve the English localization.

Again, from the bottom of our hearts: thank you.

Hi Daoists! We want you to know that something very special is about to happen. Starting from today, if you reach 300 in-game days in a playthrough, a notification for a special event will show up at the upper-right corner of your screen.




Something has changed in the Cultivation world -- a mysterious place has appeared somewhere, but only those who are worthy can find it and enter it. Once you reachthe 300 in-game days mark, you will be able to access it and unveil its secrets...

In the world of immortality seekers, a great event has unfolded: an ancient, out-of-this-world land named the Great Bamboo Forest has been discovered by some especially adventurous cultivators. It’s a land full of new resources: gather tasty bamboo shoots for cooking, and cut down bamboo stalks to construct buildings of various styles, or to make fishing rods! And don’t forget the cute, mysterious creatures that lurk within: the pandas!

Witness the panda's charm for yourself as it sweeps across the world of cultivators!


A newly-discovered creature—the panda, native to the Great Bamboo Forest. Nurture them, and fill your sect with their cuteness.



Wild demon pandas sometimes will invade your sect.



Yet sometimes, panda monsters who have failed in their shapeshift may invade your sect.
Pandas that have become enlightened transform into Panda Yaoguai. They are blessed with traits unique to their species and can unlock secret bodies exclusive to them if they become physical cultivators.

-Panda Talents: Pandas are cute and naive, lazy, and naughty. Their bodies are familiar with Yin and Yang, which have some benefit for cultivation.

-Panda Original Miracle:

• Origin Force (Mixed): Rapidly burns the source of life to stimulate the original Yaoguai force to drastically increase the artifact mastery, Qi barrier, and secret body power and endurance. Release the skill again to stop this effect.

-Panda Secret Body:

• Mixed Element Body: A secret body passed down from the bloodline of ancient panda Yaoguai that uses Yin and Yang to remold the body. Once achieved, It can slam down everything.
  
• Yin Yang Hug: A secret body passed down from the bloodline of ancient panda Yaoguai, good at artifact suppression. Using Yin to remold the left arm and Yang to remold the right arm, after achieved two arms can cut enemies into pieces, like the heaven and earth mill.

Xiuxiu and Xianxian are brothers. Xiuxiu transferred his life force to save his brother, who was born disabled, preventing his mind and body from growing on its own. This sacrifice also resulted in the two sharing a curious symbiotic connection.
The Divine Panda Brothers are natural diplomats. Sending them to any NPC sect will rapidly improve your relationship with them.
You can now invite them to your sect, and watch them grow as your sect develops and expands.

-Pet Miracles:
Ambassador of Immortals: Send it to another sect to improve our relationship.
Natural Friend: Tame a wild animal.

-Pet Magics:
Otherworld Magneto-light: Hurt enemies.

-Yin Yang Corrosion:
Greatly Reduce enemy's defense with Yin Yang Power.

• Added a new plant that can be grown and harvested: bamboo. You can now collect bamboo stalks and bamboo shoots (the love of every panda!) from them.
  
• Added food and dishes that incorporate bamboo shoots.
  
• Added new buildings constructed from bamboo stalks.

-Bamboo bed
-Bamboo Folding Screen (2 styles)
-Waterwheel
-Bamboo Lamp Post
-Bamboo Pavilion




You can now catch fish in bodies of water all across the world. In this world of immortality, there’s countless strange and wonderful fish each with vastly different habits; figuring out how to catch them all can now become a joy for every inquisitive cultivator. And you’ll be able to catch a whole lot more than just fish… This is the world of cultivators, after all!
