Have you ever imagined how exciting it would be to manage a modern farm? Furthermore, imagine if you could combine fish and vegetables in one harmonious ecosystem. Well, Aquaponics Life, created by local developer Maulidan Games, brings that wonderful dream to life. What’s more, this game features a very soothing 3D visual concept. You will play as a digital agricultural entrepreneur. Therefore, the goal is not just about making money. You must also actively maintain the complex yet rewarding balance of nature.

Ecosystem Simulations Defying Logic

In fact, this game is different from conventional farming games. This is because you have complete control over a sophisticated greenhouse. Here, the principle of mutualistic symbiosis is the key. Furthermore, players must actively manage the aquaponics system. You can use fish waste as plant nutrients. Then, the plants will filter the water to keep the fish healthy. As a result, this unique mechanic requires you to think tactically. So, you must choose the best combination of fish and vegetable species to create a sustainable cycle.

Business Strategy in a Dynamic Market

The excitement of the game will peak when you encounter the Market Condition feature. The reason is that commodity prices in the market will fluctuate every week. Therefore, you have to rack your brains to read market trends. For example, determine the best time to hold stock in the warehouse. Or, sell the entire harvest to reap maximum profits. What’s more, this management aspect isn’t just about money. In addition, you are free to customise your grow beds. Moreover, experimenting with nutrient mixtures also provides its own satisfaction as your agricultural business grows rapidly.

Pausing for Perfect Quality

Unfortunately, the development of Aquaponics Life has reached a dead end. This is because the Maulidan Games team is struggling to simplify aquaponics science into fun gameplay. Ultimately, the developers made a difficult decision. They have put the game’s development on hold indefinitely. This is because they refuse to present an unfinished experience to players. Of course, this decision demonstrates their high dedication to quality. Despite this, they are willing to pause this major project in order to find a more suitable formula.

Transformation into Aquaculture Land

We won’t be able to experience Aquaponics Life anytime soon. However, the good news is that the spirit of the game has evolved into Aquaculture Land. In fact, the game has already been successfully launched on Steam. Specifically, Aquaculture Land offers an exciting freshwater fish farming simulation. Additionally, its pixel graphics are captivating, and its mechanics are highly addictive. Therefore, let us support this homegrown creation while we wait for Aquaponics Life to make a comeback.
