Source: Lagoonia Upgrades Fun in the Sun Hamburg, June 7, 2012. Lagoonia‘s island entertainment has just been upgraded with new multiplayer buildings: a bowling bar, tavern tent and village school. These lively structures can only be made with the help of fellow South Sea residents, and are useful for personalizing gameplay. Visiting the bowling bar makes an islander feel carefree and young, which lowers his or her age by five years. Alternatively, the village school quickly teaches young characters the skills it takes to perform tasks, and raises the attendee’s age by five years. Finally, by grabbing a few beers at the local tavern tent, enemies will quickly turn into friends. Another important feature included in the update is the ability to choose the look, name and age of incoming islanders. Furthermore, the Romanian language version started. The focus of Lagoonia is on relationships – both between characters and players, and players with one another. One can plan and create many things that make the island livable and fun: from a warm fire and a cozy shelter, to useful fish nets, and later in the game lighthouses and waterslides. The game is free and no download is required – the only technical requirements are a browser and an internet connection. The game is currently featured in the Google Chrome Store.
