#### Update 0.90g (14 December 2018)

Dear investigators, today we reach a very important milestone for us, the
version 0.90, which is the first Content complete version. The release date
is very close and we just need to work on the last bugs and balance to reach
the 1.0!

Read the patch notes and prepare yourself for the new content!

##### NEW CONTENT:

* Shub Niggurath's encounter: This encounter completes the storyline of the Witch. Face this terrible creature or die trying!
* Thief's quest line: We have completed all the minievents, encounters and locations of the Thief storyline.
* Nyarlathotep's encounter: This encounter completes the storyline of the Thief. The Black Pharaoh brings death and madness on his way! Will you survive?
* Unlock the Ghoul: Now you can unlock our new playable character (Ghoul) in one of the locations of the Thief.
* Introducing to the Ghoul: Our last playable character, and the most twisted of all. He is a strong melee character and tank with increible skills:
* * Melee attack: The Ghoul attacks with his inhuman claws at close range.
* * Savage attack: Using both claws, the Ghoul performs leap followed by several quick attacks that, not only will do a lot of damage, but also will provoque a bleeding effect to the enemies.
* * Regeneration: The ghoul can quickly close the wounds and regenerate his health.
* * Dodge: Use the somersault to avoid traps and obstacles.
* * Canibalism: The ghoul cannot use medkits, as he is much closer to the beast and his body has suffered already plenty of alterations, but he may find something tasty on his way.
* Ghoul's quest line: We have included all the minievents, encounters and locations of the Ghoul storyline. This is the first time that we include this, so it may need some updates or tweaks in a new patch before the full release. Your comments will be more than welcome!
* Azathoth's encounter: This encounter completes the storyline of the Ghoul.
* Ending scenes: We have included the final ending scenes for each story line.

This patch is one step away of the 1.0 version. It is our first Content

in this version, and improve the balance to its perfection. We are commited to
leave this game flawless before its official release!

Please share your comments with us, tell us your thoughts!!

this stage without your help!

#### Update 0.85g (14 December 2018)

Dear investigators, the version 0.85 comes with a lot of new content, and
starts showing the light at the end of the tunnel. We are very close to
finishing the development of this game and fully release it.

For now, please enjoy what we bring you in this update, and as always, your
comments are more than welcomed. Here we go!

##### NEW CONTENT:

* Witch's quest line: We have completed all the minievents, encounters and locations of the Witch storyline. Remains only the final encounter agains the Great Old One, and the items that give you the Info necessary to face it. They will be included in the 0.90.
* Witch's exclusive items: We have included in the shops and in the chests items exclusive for the Witch. Find them and feel the power!
* Unlock the thief: Now you can unlock our new playable character (Thief) in one of the locations of the Witch. Find her before it is too late!
* Introducing to the thief: First hands-on of the Thief. Start getting the feel of our first melee character, while we prepare the locations and the storyline:
* * Melee attack: The thief has a really sharp dagger for close range attack.
* * Range attack: The thief is a master of the blades. Find or buy throwing knives and you will be able to kill enemies at distance. There are several types of throwing knives: Regular, poisoned & explosive.
* * Dodge: Use the somersault to avoid traps and obstacles.
* * Stealth: The Thief's main skill. Activate it to become virtually invisible. The enemies won´t see you and you will have a boost on the damage. Careful though, because it has a limited time, and you may be seen in the worst situation. Calculate your time, hit & run, and you will survive.

##### GENERAL UPGRADES:

* Map of the level: The map of the level now shows in different colors, the rooms that you have visited, and those that you haven´t. If you use now the Eye of Azathoth to reveal the whole map of the location, you won´t find yourself lost between so many new rooms, not knowing, which one you visited, and which one didn´t.
* Also, we have included many quest icons ! for minievents that didnt have it.
* Level of difficulty: When you start a New game, now you can choose a difficulty level between Easy, Normal & Difficult. To those asking, the level of difficulty that you were playing in the previous versions was Difficult.
* New level selection screen: Now you will be able to revisit locations that you completed previously thanks to our new level selection screen. Start a New Story, select the character that you played with before, and the new screen will popup, with a list of the locations for this character. Those in white, can be visited again.
* New visual effects: Now, the debuffs and conditions have a visual effect over the characters and enemies.
* New traumas and conditions: The character can now suffer special traumas. You will need Essential salts to cure them.
* Great Old Ones info system: We have finally implemented the Info system for the Great Old Ones. Now it won´t be possible to face a Great Old One without having 100% of info about it. If you access its location, you will lose all your sanity automatically. These powerful beings shouldn´t be faced if you are not trully prepared!
* Final soundtrack: We have added new more tracks to the locations, as well as variations of the previous ones, to increase the variety of the in-game music.

This patch brings a lot of new stuff, so please share with us your thoughts
and comments.

Thanks a lot for your support!

#### Update v1.1.6 (15 December 2018)

Howdy all and happy holidays!

The brand new Winter Update for Megaquarium is brimming with new features,
improvements and even some new stuff to build!

##### New and improved Staff Management

Managing your staff just got a whole lot easier with a new and improved
'Manage' tab and zoning tool

The new 'Manage' tab shows your staff in a vertical list rather than a grid.
Each row has enough space to show useful information such as what they are
currently doing, which zone they are assigned to and what their skill
priorities are.

What's more, you can directly adjust the skill priorities right from this tab,
rather than having to bring up each individual staff window.

You can also get directly into the new and improved zoning tool by clicking on
the zone button itself...

I'll be the first to admit that the old zoning tool needed some improvement,
but I'm really proud of its replacement!

All the zones are shown at the same time and in different colours, so it's way
easier to get a overview of how your zones are set up.

Even better you can now directly edit zones and reassign staff with a few easy
clicks, all from inside the tool, no more having to go find each individual
staff member just to edit a few zones.

##### The Chicago tank!

Players have been calling out for a new rounded tank that is larger than the
Belfast or Small Tunnel Tank but not quite as big as the Mega Tank. One that
comes out early enough in the ranks for your fully grown Spotted Eagle Rays.

Well, I listened! Introducing the brand new Chicago tank. Rather than just
being a large version of the Belfast tank, I've tried to design something
interesting.

This tank comes in two variants, one with the access on the inside edge, and
one with the access on the outside. This means it can be used as an internal
or external corner of your wall of tanks.

##### New large decorations

The update also comes with 6 new decorations spanning sizes between 2x2 all
the way up to 6x3.

I'm also planning to add some brand new plants in the early part of next year.
They are fully designed, I'm just waiting on the assets from my artist.

##### Other changes

* Added information about the max size an animal can eat when fully grown to its tooltip.
* Slightly reduced volume of small tunnel tank.
* Swapped Angel and Lemon shark ranks so that you have access to the Mega Tank at the same time as the Lemon Shark
* Added difficulty tooltips on the main menu.
* Redesigned animal animation system to avoid clipping issues and weird movement of larger animals.
* Fixed various issues to do with animals eating each other.
* Fixed bug where negative prestige would not show on prestige bar on load.
* Fixed various minor graphical bugs.

As always, please let me know if you notice any bugs. I'm around until this
Thursday and then I'm on my hols for a couple of weeks.

Happy holidays everyone!
