Fishing Update

Fishing Update is Live!

You can now fish in any body of water, we have 6 water biomes right now: river, lake, shallow saltwater, deep ocean, cave water and mixed water (town center), each biome has different fish.

Like critters, fish always exist in the world, and it is up to you to find them, unlike other games where the fish only spawn when you are fishing.

Fishing is more than just pulling the line when the fish bite, there is a fish battle minigame where each fish species has a different fighting style and different moves, bigger fish are harder to beat.

There are currently 30 fish, each fish except for one can be filleted into its own unique cooking ingredient with different cooking effects and properties.

Critters are integrated into the fishing system by being bait, you can use almost any critter as fish bait, and each fish will have different reactions to each bait.

During this update we managed to remove the first placeholder gathering spot, the Fishing Boat is no more, you can now acquire Fish, Crustaceans, Kelp and Clams by yourself.

The collections screen track fish too, try to complete it by catching the biggest for each fish! We are still working on it to add crops and more stats next update.

The shop had a small overhaul, we tried to make it more intuitive to use, we also rebalanced how much you get from selling critters and selling fish work the same way.

We will now focus on exploration and the removal of the 3 remaining placeholders, we will expand the map, add new biomes and allow the player to gather every resource without needing to stay near the town.

Unfortunately development will probably slow down for the following months as we can no longer work on the game full time since it is not selling, we will need to find at least part time jobs or freelance work to stay afloat.
