Side Order of Aquaria
One of the coolest things about releasing your project to a widespread audience, is that you get a ton of amazing creative feedback. We’ve had some really phenomenal fan art, some fabulous cosplay and even some fan music!
But beyond that - all of the tools we used to create Aquaria are built into the game itself, and any user can make their own Aquaria side story with them.
Bit Blot forum member Danger Mouse recently posted about progress on his mod called “Aquaria: Lost Treasures” - and it looks very promising. He’s been updating a progress thread nearly every day with new details and art.
The game appears to revolve around young Naija, and features completely new areas. There are also plans for a few game play additions to the game, which should help create a fresh experience for those who have already finished the official storyline of Aquaria.
You’re very welcome to drop by the thread and offer words of encouragement - and you may even decide to offer your particular talents to the project. It would be cool to create some original music, or to help out with scripting for example! I know there are some incredibly talented Aquaria fans out there, and I’d be stoked to see what they could create if they got together.
You can find the “Aquaria: Lost Treasures” thread here.
P.S. There’s still time to apply to be on the Aquaria 1.1.0 beta test! You can check out the details here.

Wohoo. ‘Grats to Danger Mouse for making front page!
Hopefully this’ll make this mod even better.

Yeah, looks great.
Congrats from me too, DM!
If I get it run on wine, I can do some testing for it, Alec…

Like the old school music.
SERIOUSLY, guys, a soundtrack release is in order.
Come on, please…?
It’s cool to see that this game is still getting content created for it…

Writing one last song for the OST right now…
Hopefully I can get it done in time.

Wow, I’m just floored, I took a break for a couple of days from working on this project since I am still on a 6 month deployment with the US Navy. In fact the real reason I had to stop working on it for a couple of days was due to two reason, one the lack of sleep I was getting from working on this project, and two crossing the line ceremony. Had to give my due respects to all the Shellbacks and Wogs for the day. If you don’t know what that is, I’m sure google will be your friend. Anyways, thank you so much for the front page coverage! Still floored! And ever so more motivated to creating more content.
