Fight as One and Fully Loaded can now be properly completed.
This was a big oops on our part, but we have rectified the issue. As a bonus to players who should have received these achievements, players who load a valid safe file will automatically receive this achievement! This includes players who load their post-credits save game. Give it a shot! We're excited to see our first 100% completions roll out!
Save files made in earlier chapters of the game, when these achievements are not possible, will not unlock the achievement.


Players can now disable these for added immersion or difficulty. (Boss HP will still appear.)
Some players like hiding information for their own reasons, either to increase immersion or difficulty. This feature adds a little extra option for these players.


Player barriers can no longer be bypassed by certain enemy skills.
Confusion and Charm are no longer removed when the victim takes damage.
Player stances can no longer be disrupted by certain enemy skills. (Control and stun effects will still remove them.)
This is major quality of life improvement for players who depend on crowd control abilities to manage combat, as well as making the mines chapter way more enjoyable for Tali and Jiji players.

Hello players,
We have an announcement about scheduled maintenance.

※ There will be no server maintenance on January 2
Scheduled maintenance will be held every Tuesday, and the details will be announced on Monday or the day before.
We hope this will not cause any inconvenience to your gaming experience.

Best regards,
MVR Team

Some bugfix now. Check the changelog.

• Fix fonts issues. (chinese version);
  
• Fix UI size (chinese version);
  
• Fix some words sentences;

This update fixes a user-reported bug when HQ placement cannot be done because there are no spaces within 3 hexes of a friendly unit that are not also in an enemy unit's ZOI. Under the rules, the HQ should be able to be placed within 3 hexes of either entry point 'A' or 'I', depending upon which player is active, and the HQ can be placed in an enemy ZOC without penalty. This update implements this rule correctly.

The update also embeds the printed rules within the game so that Steam won't get stuck on "Stopping..." if the user has opened the printed rules and then exited the game. For users who would like to review the printed rules outside of the game, we've made them available in the Community Hub as a Guide.

Hello everyone!
Finally the big update is ready! The game has become almost 2 times bigger and now it has:
-New girls available for work. There are now a total of 6 of them in the game.
-Continued story and new quests (118 quest log entries in total)
-Many new scenes and animations!

For now, the new content is only available in English. There will be a Russian version soon, and a Chinese version in January. There are plans to make a Spanish version as well.
The game isn't over yet. The next updates will be mainly about UI, sounds, game mechanics, animation and scene refinements.

Hello, Aquascapers!

Following our exploration of the Similarity Challenge in the previous devlog, we're now thrilled to delve into the next step after completing the challenge: Similarity Valuation. In this devlog, we'll closely examine what this feature encompasses, including the subsequent processes, its varying difficulty levels, and the mechanics of similarity calculation.



Once players have unlocked Project License B and above, they will receive an email from clients specifically tailored to Project Level B. This email introduces a unique challenge: creating a specific aquascape design requested by the client. As a player, your task is to precisely recreate the target design.



Similarity Valuation evaluates various aspects of your aquascape design. It considers the types of items used, their quantities, as well as their placement and terraforming on the aquatic landscape. This comprehensive assessment ensures that every detail aligns with the client's requirements.



We are currently in the testing phase, aiming to enhance the excitement and challenge for players. The difficulty level will vary based on the project's complexity. Early projects will be relatively easier, allowing players to familiarize themselves with the feature. As players progress to higher-level projects, the challenges will become more demanding, pushing your aquascaping skills to the limit.

Our goal is to create a captivating experience that tests your creativity, attention to detail, and ability to replicate intricate designs. The Similarity Valuation feature aims to immerse you in the world of aquascape design, offering a rewarding and challenging gameplay experience.



Stay tuned for further updates as we continue to fine-tune and optimize this feature. We value your feedback and look forward to hearing your thoughts on how we can make the Similarity Valuation even more engaging and enjoyable.

Also, don't forget to add Aquascape Simulator to your wishlist to stay updated with the latest news and updates. Thank you for being part of the Aquascape Simulator community, and we can't wait to see your incredible aquascape creations!

Cheers!
