The Dev Diaries: What’s coming in the new update?

Hey guys! We get a lot of questions from you regarding our future plans for the game and what we’re currently working on. Well...we’re happy to tell you that our team is already getting bigger, which means that now we can introduce even more cool features and improvements in the nearest time. So today we’ll give you some inside scoop on the newest features that are being added to the game in test mode as we speak! It only seems right to mention that we often draw our inspiration for the new features from your letters, guys. Many of you kept asking for a Navigation functionality to be added - and voila, here it is! Ever since kayaks were introduced, you can catch fish all over the waterway. This, however, made it a bit difficult to remember the places for best biting. And that’s why we’re adding a couple of features to ease your navigation and let you keep track of all your favorite fishing spots! -Depth Map. Every location in the game will now have its own unique depth map, so that you can know the bottom terrain and decide where to look or the fish you’re after.
-Markers. Now you can mark your favorite fishing spots right on the map! But that’s not all. This function allows you to add a description for every Marker, noting what kinds of fish you caught there, what tackle you used and most importantly you will share your Markers with Friends in the future! Buoyancy improvements. Yep, we made quite a few changes here! Up until now, all lures regardless of their weight would sink at identical speed. Be it a 4-gram spinner or a 56 gram bass jig, they’d go down the same. Not anymore! From now on, just like in real life, a lure’s WEIGHT directly affects how fast it sinks. So now, it’ll take almost 20 seconds for a 4-gram spinner to go down to a depth of 5 meters, whereas a bass jig of 56 grams will plummet in just 5 seconds! Remember how frustrating it was when you couldn’t even get some lures off the bottom when making a retrieve at first or second speed? And this would happen regardless of the lure’s weight. Heavy or light - they all behaved the same when you were making a retrieve, which of course wasn’t very realistic. But now, most of the lures will be showing some action even at the slowest retrieve speed, with the lighter lures lifting off the bottom and having more buoyancy than the heavier ones. Awesome, right?:) Tackle Setup Templates We’re introducing the setup templates to make it easier for you to organise all the different tackle you use depending on the waterway, the fish or a certain competitive event. Those of you who collected copious amounts of different objects overtime will find this feature particularly useful! Now you can use personalized templates to restore and assemble the needed tackle setup with just one click of a button, without having to filter through your inventory in tedious attempts to find the necessary objects, and so - spend more time actually FISHING!;) Oh yeah, there’s one more feature we’d like to highlight: the Photomode!
How often did you find yourself wishing you could save your triumphant catch moments - after all the hard planning, timing, and preparations you put into it? But there was no way to capture it! Well, that’s about to change! Now you can take beautiful photographs of yourself holding up that Trophy catch at different angles. And then - you can send the pictures to your Friends! Share your joys and triumphs with the world! Well, that’s a quick overview of the new patch that’s coming your way;) All these cool new features will be added real soon...so keep track of our updates! And yes, we are always eager to hear your thoughts on how to make the Fishing Planet experience more comfortable and fun! So if you have more ideas about improving the boat navigation functionality or making the shore fishing more convenient - let us know!

Aside from a rare few, there were no decent fishing games created over the whole 30-year history of game development. And not a single one in recent years! Don’t we anglers deserve better than that?

Fishing Planet decided to set this historic injustice right and finally make a game that fishing enthusiasts were waiting for all these years! And according to our Beta Testers, we hit the mark!

Stunning eye-candy graphics, superb hydro and aerodynamics, realistic tackle behavior and damage based on actual simulation physics and, most importantly, fish with artificial intelligence for completely lifelike behavior make this a true-to-life fishing simulator that can help you improve your actual angling skills!

The combination of unique graphics, realistic game physics and sophisticated AI will bring the realistic world of fishing directly to your computer screen!

Photorealistic graphics – using latest high-end tools for ultimate photo-realism: photogrammetry, all waterways are based on real location.
Unique system of game physics and realistic tackle damage – rods, lines and reels break according to their actual individual characteristics. Realistic aero and hydrodynamic environment for lures and retrieves.
