Ice Lakes 1.5 - Midsummer Mega Update
- Ice fishing cabins - 2 new maps - 3 new fish species: Bluegill, crappie and flounder - 2 new tournaments - 2 new jig types: Spinners and spoons - 40 new jigs - 5 new bait types - 2 new characters - New achievements - Lure colors now match bait colors - Multiplayer host can kick players by typing to game chat "/kick playernick" - Lots of known bugs fixed - Balances and improvements to gameplay - Dedicated servers (alpha release)
Fish cabins can be found from the two new maps. Players can go inside the warmth of a cabin where the freezing winds and cold weather does not distract the fisherman by freezing the hole. You don't have to worry about slush preventing the fishing. Another great thing about these cabins is that occasionally some species may find a good spot under or near them.
Two new maps are concentrated on environments taking their inspiration from the North American continent. Also the species you can get from these maps are more typical to that region, including the new fish species.
Species from the New World are swimming to Ice Lakes. Bluegill and Black Crappie make the fishing even more diverse. Flounder on the other hand, is an interesting fellow. They can lay on the bottom from very shallow to very deep waters. Catching flounders gives a whole dimension to the game.
Two completely new tournaments increase the total number of tournaments to 14! New tournaments continues the theme of the North American ice fishing and concentrates on the new maps and species.
A whole new wave of different jigs and baits are added to equipment selection. In total there are 40 new jigs and 5 new bait types. They will also introduce two completely new jig types; Spinners and spoons. Moreover the 20 new mormyshka and balanced jigs are special type of jigs that can be used in more focused way since they are at their best only for one species each.
Select one of these two new characters, the dark knights of ice fishing, and show how the fishing is done!
Finally there are also dozens of new achievements. Take your goal and go for it!
The first version of dedicated servers are released alongside with this update. However, it is still in alpha stage and has not been properly tested at this point.
What lies ahead? This update also makes a groundwork for new things to come. Dedicated servers will be improved, night mode and some new game modes are new features we are planning to release in the next updates.

Ice Lakes is an ultimate ice fishing game with a sandbox approach to wintertime fishing. Rare subject, stunning graphics, realistic physics, fish behavior system, wide selection of fishing gear, single and multiplayer with different game modes in the various locations around the world, changing season, day time and weather conditions that also affect fish behavior makes Ice Lakes the ultimate ice fishing simulator.
In this game players can roam freely in the beautiful open world maps and explore river, pond and lake locations in diverse environments. Dare to go deeper into the wild where no fisherman has gone before and find the biggest catches. All maps are playable both in single player and multiplayer modes.
Finding the best fishing spots by learning the depth maps and bottom topology of each location is fun, but requires patience and dedication. Nothing wins the expectation of finding the best location or catching the biggest fish from each lake.
The real excitement starts when it is time to throw fishing lines into the water and start fishing! The right equipment for right conditions are as essential as is mastering the location. The realistic fish behavior system, fish AI and fish swarms for over 20 fish species makes this game a lifelike fishing experience. Fishing gear can be chosen from a wide selection of different jigs, rods, augers and baits. A perfect combination of equipment for different species depends on the season, but especially weather and daytime conditions. Controlling a rod and a jig in the water in a right way and at the right depth in Ice Lakes is a skill of its own. Rod and jig physics guarantees that fish react authentically to player's actions.
Fishing independently without time limits or competitors makes Ice Lakes a relaxing game to play and tune your fishing skills in the comfort of your home. On the other hand, lengthy tournaments and very customizable single competitions will test the player's skills and knowledge, but will reward them with new equipment and limitless fame.
