Hey Beekeepers! Coming into the final few days of the playtest now, thanks so much for everyone that has been playing and giving us feedback and reporting all the weird and wonderful bugs - the game is now starting to get towards some sort of stability (dare I say it) I did change the save system slightly so.... maybe make a back-up just in case? I did test it hella loads though ;( (Game files are named like gamesave-json and found in your %localappdata%) This update is mostly bug fixes, although I did tweak the saving to remove the delay, update 4K screens to have the right scale level, and rebalanced a bunch of products that will probably make me public enemy no. 1 in your greedy capitalist honey baron eyes. Also there's 3 new tracks in the game and they are so freaking good - BroduxBlue is coming close to finishing off the last track now and I think we'll have an OST ready to release soon on Bandcamp/Steam/Spotify :o
Changes
- Saving the game now takes a little bit longer (1 whole second!!) but now it won't freeze the game so you can just keep on truckin', don't say I never treat you all
- Added tooltips to make it clear that pressing escape on a highlighted menu closes ONLY that menu and pressing escape when not highlighting a menu closes ALL open menus
- Updated "Microscope It Out" quest to explain the recessive + buff symbols (, +, -)
- Added the ! bubble above the player when drowning to make it clear you are drowning and will be teleported if you remain "stuck"
- Added 3 new night-time tracks that can also be bought from BroduxBlue - Pascuorum, Rubicundus, and Cineraria (they are sick check them out)
- Updated scaling for 4K monitors, it was scaling at 4x when it should of been at 5x (3200+) and 6x (3840+) respectively (I can't afford fancy monitors so I didn't know this soz)
- Doubled the amount of honey made per frame extraction (5 frames = minimum 1 bottle worth, higher productivity trait = more honey obvs)
- Rebalanced some of the bee special products to encourage selling honey/mead for better profits (honey bottle sells for $15, mead for $20)

About Us
APICO is being created by two brothers, Elliott & Jamie, inspired by their love of old Minecraft mods, casual, and crafting games. They wanted to make something relaxing, intriguing, and semi-educational (just don't think about the Water Bees). Elliott builds nice things and Jamie makes sure he breaks them.
Save The Bees
Bees are integral to our gameplay, as they are to our real-world ecosystem. We want to promote bee conservation and will be donating a portion of sales towards national and international beekeeping charities.
