Hey there fellow anglers! They say time flies... Is there a word that can describe how fast the past year has passed? It has been almost too fast. A year and one day ago we have released Fishing Planet to the open world and let everyone play the game and leave a review. Right upon release we had issues with inventory which appeared only during massive usage of our servers by real players. I remember the days really good. As Killerwhale likes to joke "We were replying in support emails 24/7 with a 30-minute break to put face on the keyboard and cry". But the most memorable thing for me was the immense support from you guys despite the bugs, the inconsistencies we had. It helped us work better, move faster and cry less. Some things stay with you until the end and it this community has given us moments we will never forget. In particular, the story of our dear and beloved Mod Flaguitars. We love you Fla, you take a lot of negative but you are one awesome guy. Thank you. Posts like the one I am about to paste here will keep us moving no matter what. "I love fishing planet is for the following reasons. I have a high-level disability and have a great love for fishing but never really get the opportunity to do it much anymore! I have been searching for many years now looking for a game that has the realisms of fishing as you would in real life. But most of the arcade games are totally ridiculous. Fishing Planet is a game that I can play unaided all by myself. As I cannot use my hands, I use a mouth operated mouse called the Quadjoy and just by using the sipping and puffing for left and right mouse functions. I can compete on a level playing field with everybody else in the game which is the most important thing for me. I have made my way up to level 20 now has been a blast, with much appreciated assistance through some pretty awesome people along the way giving pointers and hints nudging in the right direction. Not forgetting numerous friends made from all over the world from within the game Looking forward to the future upgrades of the game and it's unlimited potential for going global for all types of species. Especially barramundi from down under But most importantly because of my disability and being stuck in bed for long periods of time. Fishing Planet has been a great out for me, being able to immerse myself in to very graphically pleasing environment catching fish leaving the real world behind Cheers Ilovesunshine a.k.a. Richard" Richard, all of you guys. Thank you for being with us, thank you for supporting us, thank you fro criticizing us and helping us in any possible way. We do this for you, we do this to show how immense the world of sportfishing is, how beautiful the nature. We frequently say that we have a small team, but that is not true, our team is huge and all of you are a part of this team (the grumpy ones too). P.S. The Anniversary patch is true, it will feature Alaska, a special tournament, lots of fixing and nice perks you will definitely enjoy. E.T.A. later this month. Tight Lines!
