Multiplayer Playtest Ended!
[ 2021-11-28 19:00:17 CET ] [ Original post ]
Hey Beekeepers!
Thanks so much to everyone who took part in this playtest and helped us weed out the less friendly bugs from the multiplayer!
I'm reasonably confident now with the multiplayer offering, definitely way more than I was before! For the most part a lot of the multiplayer bugs are duping related (things we can't really prevent due to it being a relay server) or a few rendering bugs that were pretty minor (as apposed to getting bugs that crash you or disconnect you randomly!)
The only major bug we had was on Linux but we managed to fix that one (shout out to Vil for his patience on helping me find that one!). I would of loved to have been able to test more concurrent people (400 people played the playtest out of 1500 sign ups, and 75 games were played online this week) but i mean, if we have 1000 people wanting to play APICO online at the exact same time that must be a pretty high quality problem to have as it'd been we must of had like 10,000+ people buy the game haha!
That's the end of the last playtest for APICO ever now! The demo will be up, as always, and I'll be updating it to match some of the fixes found during the playtest in the next week or so - but outside of that our next stop will be release!
Thanks again, and can't wait to let you all have the game properly in the new year! <3

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.
