Official v1.0 Release Available Now!Hey all,I took the past few weeks really polishing up the code behind the scenes, making it ultra stable, ultra slick. This is in addition to the smattering of new goodies throughout the experience, and some nice text and UI clean-up. This is a polished realization of the original idea I set out to make and I feel happy and comfortable to say it is a finished complete idea.Off the bat, right out the gate, I'll comment and add that development is not over! It's just different. There are things I still want to add and tinker with over time, but they fell outside the scope of my original concept. And rather move the goalposts of that original scope, I am celebrating the victory of finishing the original idea now. And I'll continue tinkering as I see fit. And work on other fun ideas as well. I just like making games.Thanks all who joined me in this Early Access, I've never done this before. Release an un-finished game, that is. I'm not a multi-million dollar developer, the concept of releasing an unfinished game doesn't come naturally to me. But the process was great. I got some great feedback, was able to implement some great community thoughts. And I was able to finish my own thoughts.To celebrate the release, Desktop Ant Farm Simulator will be going on it's first ever sale! If you've had it on your wish-list, I hope you take the time to consider hopping on and supporting the studio. This was a completely solo project behind the screen, a departure from Beef Cat Ultra (our previous team project). There's another team project gearing up it's Steam Store page, but that's for another day.Anyways, thanks again everyone. This was a niche little passion project and I'm very happy with what I put out. In Early Access, I included on the store page that the price would increase after Early Access. I changed my mind. I want to keep it very affordable, very impulse buy. It's a niche little app of a game and I want people to feel like the value...

So come pad that digital wallet of yours with some sweet premium currency, and get a vision of sweetness in return.We love you so hard,The Pandas

Fixed: typing stopped counting on Windows - Windows could silently disable the game's keyboard listener, after which typing no longer moved your train for the rest of the session. The game now re-checks the listener every few seconds and restores it automatically, so if it drops out it recovers on its own within seconds. - Mac was never affected by this. Known issues on Windows - Typing while the game's own menu window is focused isn't counted yet. Click the train strip at the bottom of your screen — or any other window — and your typing counts again. We're working on this one. - Keystrokes typed into a window running as administrator can't be counted at all. Windows deliberately hides that input from normal programs, so this one we can't fix.

Circuit Rugs are now floor decorations, allowing characters and regular furniture to be placed on top of them. You can register a music folder from your PC as a playlist. The folder name is used by default, and the playlist can be renamed, refreshed, or removed in the app. Supported music files added to or removed from a registered folder are reflected automatically. Local paths and playlists remain on the current device and are not shared through Steam Cloud or multiplayer. Multiplayer role, host, and member-count information in the room HUD has been consolidated. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/46141871/6c3ece5738c650695e07da758ee62f5105eba9b5.gif {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/46141871/58a6d6616deecb8af96046d9d9b8665b0958eae0.gif If you encounter an issue, please let me know through the Steam Community Discussions.

We heard the community calls for tannins, and here they are! With 8 new botanical pieces and 5 new substrates, players can now create the blackwater aquascape of their dreams. A new in-game store will also spawn wood that leaches over time.Real world tannins impact the water chemistry, so in-game tannins in Fish Game do, too. The Chemistry Panel will show tannin levels, and players can watch how these levels impact other stats like pH and light.Tannins don’t just impact water, they also support fish health and lower some species’ stress levels. Some fish species are also just big botanical fans, so keep an eye out for their responses to botanicals and botanical substrates.Just like a home aquarium, botanicals and wood stop leaching tannins over time, so be sure to look out for leaves degrading and seed pods darkening. Wood also returns to an inert state, leaving the piece beautiful but tannin-less.Need more leaves? In addition to the new botanical pieces and substrates, all players will be getting a new plant: Ceratopteris thalictroides (aka Water Sprite). Want even more? Get the Plant Variety Pack 1 DLC and enjoy 10 new plants!If you want to have a say in what DLC content gets released next, head over to our Patreon. Memberships above $3/mo will be able to vote on which DLC are released next, and memberships above $5/mo will get DLC Steam codes automatically sent to their inboxes without having to purchase them while subscribed (plus other tiers with other perks that you can check out).
