Demo 4.6
[ 2021-09-28 12:48:42 CET ] [ Original post ]
Hey Beekeepers! So since the Playtest has ended there's been a bunch of tweaks and bug fixes, so we wanted to update the demo to keep it in-line with the final game - especially with Steam NextFest looming on the horizon (Saturday!) This update has a bunch of gamepad stuff, balance stuff, and then a butt-tonne of bug fixes. Enjoy!
Changes
- Added a Now Playing notification so you know the name of your favourite track!
- Added a "High Contrast Slots" option in the Accessibility menu
- You can now hold shift while middle-clicking to not only gather up as many of the same item (middle click) but move it to another menu also
- Menu Objects now need two hammer hits to be picked up, giving you a chance to avoid the dreaded stuff explosion with your crates
- Dpad on gamepad can now be used on main menus as well as L stick
- B on gamepad now goes back in main menus
- Added ability to R stick click to sort on crates on gamepad mode
- You can now use the dpad for chapter selection on gamepad as well as R stick
- You can now use the dpad for mechanisms on gamepad as well as R stick
- You can now use the dpad for general slot movement in-game as well as R stick
- 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"
- 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)
- Bottles now only cost $1 each
- Tweaked world gen for the demo to try and avoid awkward lake cut-offs
- Weather, recipe, altar, and noticeboard notifications now auto-dismiss after a short period on PC like they already do on console
- Clock in the corner now explicitly says day/dawn/dusk/night
- Added a special "braid" hairstyle for Sto!

- Fixed Extractors putting output items in the frame output slots

- Fixed some types of mead not having effect info in quest icon tooltips

- Tweaked collision slightly to avoid a rare "one way" deep water layout - if this messes up collision in general then you can blame a123qwertz567 and Dues!

APICO SteamDeck [199.14 M]APICO Linux [198.93 M]
APICO is an upcoming casual-sim game about breeding and collecting bees!
Set in a series of lush environments, it uniquely combines farm building, resource gathering and production, and beekeeping minigames.
Key Features
Heart & Honey
Encounter natural bees scattered throughout the world. Begin your beekeeping journey and show them who the real Queen Bee is.
Make & Manufacture
Collect raw materials and craft resources, tools and machines to aid you. Humble hand-crafted beginnings will make way for clockwork and steam-powered tools!
Products & Profits
Take your bee-gotten gains and forge them anew. Use, trade or sell them for construction materials, technological marvels and sweet, sweet hats
Bolster & Breed
Cross-breed your bees for perfect stats, or earn unique loot by creating new species such as realistic elemental bees - endorsed by an Actual Scientist!
Create & Construct
This is your home in a welcoming land. Build and create the picturesque Apiary of your dreams, or create a deforested industrial nightmare, barely clinging to life. Efficiency... but at what cost?!
Experience & Explore
Adventure through your own randomly generated world, reveal hidden mysteries, and unlock distinct biomes with their own characteristic flora, fauna and bees.
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.
Follow Our Progress
You can follow us on Twitter (https://twitter.com/apico_game), or join our Discord (http://apico.buzz/discord).
We post regular updates of our development progress on both channels as well as important announcements, stupid GIFs, cute pics of bees - what more could you want?
