Hello,
We are Maulidan Games, an indie game studio based in Indonesia, focusing on developing management-simulation games for PC. Right now we are developing a new game called Aquaculture Land.
Aquaculture Land is a freshwater aquafarming management game with sandbox style mechanic and 2D pixel art visual design. Player will act as a businessman that runs a freshwater fish farm. They will manage all things related to fisheries, produce some high-quality products, fulfill the needs of customers to get benefits, and develop the business.
We already released Aquaculture Land in Steam Early Access. But don't worry, we will release Aquaculture Land in itch.io too. So if you prefer using itch.io than Steam, you still can buy the game through itch.io. We still preparing for the Aquaculture Land store page in itch.io, it will be ready soon enough.
Because we still on early access state, if you guys have feedback or suggestions, feel free to tell us. That will really help us to make the game better. We will do our best for Aquaculture Land. And hope you will support us from now on and join in our journey to make Aquaculture Land better.

Features
- Pond-Based Fish Environment (Sandbox Style) - You can build your own pond for fish farming. You can manage your pond condition to meet the best condition for the fishes.
- Pond Equipment - To manage pond condition, you need to add some equipments such as aerator, purifier, and generator.
- Diverse Types of Commodities with Each of Its Unique Characteristics - You can raise many types of fishes, crustaceans, and mollusks with each of its unique characteristics to create a diversity in their farm.
- Feeding Your Fish - Fish will get hungry sometimes. You can feed them to make sure they stay alive.
- Employee/Worker - Worker will do the farm job for you. By default, worker will automatically do their job such as maintaining equipment, feeding fish, etc. But you can choose whether to make them stay self-initiative or player-directed in doing something.
- Business Time - Manage your resources efficiently and produce high-quality fish, crustaceans and mollusks to keep your business running!
There are two options for you to get money. Customer order and market selling. First, you can take some order from customer that need some certain fish to be sold. Second, just check the market price statistics and look for what kind of fish that has the highest price, then raise that fish and sell it to the market.
In this current state, there won't be any goal or quest, you can make your farm in any way you want. We already have done the main loop such as build pond, nurturing fish, harvest fish, and then sell it to market or through customer order. We also already did some update based on feedback and suggestions from our player.
We already did some updates and add new features called Fishing Pond and Breeding.
- Fishing Pond - The main purpose of Fishing Pond is to become your stream income while you're waiting for your fish to get big enough to be sold.
- Breeding - Breeding feature is a feature that you can use to increase your fish basic status. With this feature you can increase growth speed, fish weight, and fish quality. You can make a superior fish with breeding feature.
Aquaculture Land development will be more towards management games like Megaquarium or Kairosoft rather than games like Stardew Valley or Graveyard Keeper.
We hope with making store page in itch.io, we can reach more player that really like to play managemen-simulation game. We will update the devlog of our progress here periodically. And we will update you if we already finish our store page in itch.io. We hope you will enjoy playing Aquaculture Land.
Have a nice day everyone.
