Version 4.1.1 Released

Aquarium Genesis v4.1.1 – First Tank Hotfix & Quality Improvements 🐠

The first aquarium is now easier to get started, with improved localization, smoother progression, and additional stability fixes!

This update focuses on one important goal: making sure players can actually experience the game without getting stuck during the initial aquarium cycling phase.

Previously, preparing your first aquarium could take far too long before fish, shrimp, and snails became available. Version 4.1.1 introduces a practical solution while keeping the original aquarium simulation intact.

🐟 What’s New?

💧 First Tank Starter Assistance

A new optional starter assistance feature is now available!

• Fill your first aquarium completely.
• Activate the new starter assistance option in the Info section.
• Your first tank becomes ready for aquatic life.
• Start purchasing fish, shrimp, and snails without excessive waiting.
• No additional credits or free animals are granted.
• Players who prefer realistic cycling can still follow the original process.

The choice is yours: realistic preparation or faster access to the actual gameplay!

🌍 Localization Improvements

We’ve improved German and English language support across several parts of the game.

• Improved translations for dynamic notifications.
• Updated event log messages.
• Improved health and aquarium status descriptions.
• More consistent terminology across the interface.

⚙️ Gameplay & Stability Improvements

Additional testing and adjustments focused on:

🔧 Compatibility

🧪 Testing & Known Limitations

Automated tests have covered the main gameplay systems, including the first aquarium setup, animal purchasing, saving and loading, breeding, and ecosystem simulation.

Some edge cases and real-device behaviors may still require additional testing.

Player feedback remains extremely valuable, especially regarding mobile usability, game balance, and long-term progression.

🚀 What’s Next?

Future development will continue focusing on:

• Reliable and balanced gameplay progression.
• Further German and English localization improvements.
