Development Update July 2025

Hi everyone! Thank you all for a great first couple of weeks with Stu the fisherman, I've been enjoying getting all of your feedback and making improvements from said feedback.

This update will cover some of the bits coming soon to give you an idea on how development is progressing.

New UI!

I've developed some new, much sleeker UI for the game, giving it more of a fisherman's log / travellers journal feeling!

The log and fisherman's shops have been adjusted into these beautiful book formats with tabs and defined structure.

Scoring, Progression and Flair

A whole new progression system has been added revolving around progressing up a forever growing target score. Each target met will have a reward such as Wood, Food, Metal or even Trinkets!

Interactions with fish and scoring now have bursts of particles and shaking to add energy and feeling to your progression.

Rainbows!

A whole new fish variation and numerous Trinkets to interact with that new variation.

Rainbow fish count as any colour, meaning that they trigger all of your blue, red and green trinkets during scoring. New trinkets involve abilities such as converting fish to be rainbow when caught!

Outro

Once again, thanks all, I look forward to seeing your feedback with this next update. I'm incredibly proud of how much the game is progressing.

All my best,

Ben
