- Star Journey - 29 May 2026
Hi everyone,I'm making great progress on a new game where you are a starship captain with a crew. You can also modify and build starships!Travel a living starmap of claimed worlds, hostile fleets, neutral powers, spaceports, unexplored systems, and dangerous anomalies. Take command from inside your ship: pilot through space, raise shields, fire torpedoes, manage power, repair hull damage, consult your officers, and decide where your crew goes next.The frontier is full of incidents waiting for a captain’s judgment. Rescue stranded survey teams, investigate suspicious distress beacons, uncover ancient probes, stabilize unstable anomalies, make first contact with new civilizations, and decide whether defecting enemy captains deserve asylum. Some missions lead to diplomacy. Some lead to discovery. Some are traps.Beyond the bridge, the war continues. Factions move fleets, defend homeworlds,…

- A compilation fresh water tropical fish drawing - 20 April 2025
Hello! I made a nice clean artwork showing most of the fish I've drawn over the past few months for Peacequarium. I need to make another version for the baby fish in the future. Also tomorrow the Minimal and Chill Steam Showcase will start and it has amazing games in it. Share the link with anyone you know who likes these games. Peacequarium is in the Minimal Input, Maximum Fun section. Thanks, GTGD
- Minimal & Chill Steam Showcase - 14 April 2025
Hello! Peacequarium will be part of the upcoming Minimal & Chill Steam Showcase from April 21 to 27! https://store.steampowered.com/curator/44955240/sale/MinimalandChillShowcase Over the coming months there will be more updates coming to Peacequarium! Thanks, GTGD
- Faster UI - 1 February 2025
Hi everyone, I've removed the sliding UI behaviour and so made the different menus in the game load faster. Peacequarium has grown a lot over the last six months, with many more menus being added, and so I think the sliding UI had become a bit slow and cumbersome when moving from one menu to another. Best Regards, GTGD
- Two positive soundtracks added! - 29 January 2025
Hello everyone, I've added two pleasant soundtracks to Peacequarium and a music volume slider in the game settings panel. I've also reviewed my auto save code and I can confirm that the game auto saves every hour. I want to share that the music is freely available and made by Liborio Conti who makes professional soundtracks and provides them completely free without copyright. I'm not aware of anyone else doing that, and at a professional level, so I believe we should promote artists like him so more people get to experience their works. Best regards, GTGD
- Showing achievement progress and hiding completed achievements - 23 January 2025
Hello All, another small update, and this time I've added a toggle for turning on / off completed achievements to help you just see the achievements you haven't completed yet. When you open the achievements panel you'll see the toggle at the top. I've also added numbers to achievements that have stats so you can better understand how far away they are from completion. I've reduced the gift opening timer to just a few seconds instead of a minute and I've fixed a bug where a breeder fish will keep on breeding spawn cards even though there is not enough space in the tank if the player tries to spawn all of the spawn cards. If you encounter any issues please do let me know so I can try and fix them. I haven't forgotten about trying to show the rarity of collector fish achievements to help the player understand what sort of rarity the fish they are trying to collect is. Once I have a good so…
- Option to only sell mature fish and Twitch authenticator code generator - 20 January 2025
Hello All, A regular update, in this update I've added a toggle for only selling mature fish. When active you cannot sell baby fish including when pressing the sell all button. This is for those players whose strategy is to quickly grow fish and sell them for a profit which makes sense! Also I've changed the Twitch authenticator code generator link to another website because the previous site has been closed by the developer. This is the new link https://antiscuff.com/oauth/ If you have any questions or other thoughts then just let me know. Best regards, GTGD
- Demo Launch! - 23 December 2024
Hello! We've made it to the launch of the demo and thanks everyone who has been playing the beta and giving feedback! For the demo I've created a new cozy background, the winter cabin! I've kept the requirement for unlocking it pretty low so you can enjoy it sooner rather than later. Also don't forget to pet the husky! I've also added a new quest for the demo which is restoring dirty client aquariums. You get to vacuum up solid dirt, place plants that grow and make the water clean, and feed those hungry fish! Once you return the client aquarium you'll be rewarded with an awesome jade treasure chest. I hope you all have a lovely holiday and a better year ahead!
- Aww those poor client fish! - 13 December 2024
Hello! The demo launch is coming soon, 23 December! I've added a new type of quest which is to clean up client aquariums and this is in the demo! It's up to you to clean up dirty aquariums and make them beautiful. With client aquariums you need to suck up the solid dirt, place plants that will grow and make the water turn blue again and feed the hungry fish. Once restored you can return the client aquarium and get a jade treasure chest! You can also move the plants if you wish by left click dragging on them.
- Demo Launch Date Announce - 7 November 2024
Hello! Peacequarium development is making great progress and the feedback coming through has been continuing to help make it a better game! I can now share the date for demo launch and it will be the 23rd of December! All of your save progress will continue from the playtest into the demo version, only Steam items will not be transferred because they are bound to the AppID. Support for really big numbers In fact numbers so big that a game can not display more than that! The game now supports up to 1e303 Centillion and pretty much beyond that the game can’t display more numbers and treats it as infinity. If you do get that far I’ve added a reset button in the settings menu that will reset your income multiplier and money so you don’t have to reset your save file and you can keep on enjoying your aquariums. Water colour of your choice Many players were wanting this so I’ve added a Custom…
- 🐠 Give thy fish a name! - 1 October 2024
Big numbers and full screen The numbers in Peacequarium can now go up to Vigintillions 1e63 and the earnings per second scales up as per the cost of the green Income Multiplier upgrade. This ensures that your earnings per second keeps pace with the big numbers so it doesn't feel that getting to the next level of big numbers is out of reach! You can now play the game in full screen windowed mode! Open your settings menu and press the toggle screen size button. On Windows you can dock the game around the screen like any other window! Naming your fish You can name your fish from the fish/sell menu. Just click on the fish name such as Koi and start typing and the default species name will be replaced with your name for the fish. Fish traits and glowing fish I've added fish traits which give the fish some uniqueness. Fish traits are Steam inventory items (I've changed them to not tradable or…
- Giant fish, Unicorn horns, and Glowing fish of course! - 15 September 2024
In the last month I've made some mega improvements to Peacequarium to make it more fun and engaging and I've been taking player feedback very seriously. I believe I've incorporated all feedback that contributes to making Peacequarium a better experience and I've successfully integrated Twitch, Steam Achievements, and Steam inventory into the upcoming full game and the playtest! The most exciting feature I've added are fish traits which add more character to whichever fish you apply them to and makes them more useful. Traits don't persist on closing down the game which creates a nice sink for the trait item economy. I've successfully got a gatherer trait working in the full game and any fish with that trait will collect any wholesome buff it touches automatically (and be wearing a red cap :D ). The playtest has four of the traits available and these are supplied as Steam items over time…
- 🐠 The gift 🎁 someone sold on the Steam marketplace! - 30 August 2024
The playtest has been bringing in so much useful feedback that I've decided to change it to an open beta! I have made so many improvements to the game since the launch of the beta, so I'll focus on just a few that I think are pretty cool, and these are now part of the beta which you can play. Steam Inventory Integration I've made several games and released them on Steam, but this is the first time I've integrated the Steam inventory service. It was really quite difficult for me to figure it out, but now I understand how to and it is cool. If you are also a developer then I've written this post on the Steamworks Developer group on how to setup the backend integration and I'm surprised no one has done this previously! When you play the Peacequarium Beta you'll be rewarded with gifts and fish that are added to your Steam inventory based on playtime (which works great for an idle game!). Yo…
- Playtest is live within Wholesome Games Steam Celebration! - 16 August 2024
Hello Aquarists, We've reached a big milestone and today is the launch of the play test! It's a closed beta and everyone who signed up till now should have received an email about the playtest being activated. The playtest will run till the 20th/21st of August and will then be deactivated. Please do fill in the survey form that you can access from within the game and for longer feedback you can use the Peacequarium Steam Discussion board. Here are some gameplay tips: Hold down mouse right click, or Left Ctrl, to feed your fish and make them grow faster. Remember the aquarium has a a capacity and you can't buy more fish when it is full. You have to sell fish to make space for new fish. The amount of gold the treasure chest gives is based on your Income Multiplier upgrade. When you have the can of worms, use it to chain a gold fever fish with a super feed or vice versa to have a massive E…
- Playtest in a few days and that cute fish with a leaf on his head - 12 August 2024
Hello Aquarist, Just a few more days to the public playtest! I'll switch it on at about 12am ET time on the 16th of August and I'll turn it off at about 12am ET time on the 21st of August to roughly coincide with the Wholesome Games Steam Celebration. Here are a few helpful things to look for in Peacequarium that will facilitate your progress. 1. The gold fever fish. When you see this guy just hover your mouse over him and you'll gain a 20x increase in your earnings per second for half a minute! 2. Super feed, This will add your earnings per second to your feed strength and so help you grow your fish faster. Btw, this chains with the gold fever fish! 3. The treasure chest. Just hover your mouse over it when you see it and it will give a heap of gold. The amount of gold is tied to the number of income multiplier upgrades you've purchased. 4. The research buff. Hover your mouse over it to…
- Upcoming Playtest and Wholesome Games Celebration! - 7 August 2024
Hello all Aquarists! I'm working towards launching the Peacequarium playtest when the Wholesome Games Steam Celebration starts on the 15th of August (Peacequarium will be a part of it!). It will be a closed beta limited to everyone who signed up before the start of the playtest and run for about a week and then it'll be switched off. In the meantime I'll be writing some more posts on some of the features of Peacequarium so make sure to follow so you can be informed better than anyone else and get your own aquarium off to a great start! Best Regards, GTGD
