Hey guys! Happy to announce that a Major Update has arrived with cool new features and improvements, some of which you’ve been waiting a very long time for! So here’s a full overview of this update’s essential points, covering the new features as well as the redesign of some existing functions and giving insight on how it all works:

Navigation: depth map and markers.

We added a navigation tablet showing a waterway map that you can use without leaving your fishing spot by simply pressing the [М] button! This map will show detailed info on the bottom shape and depth of the initial waterway (Lone Star) as well as provide a general description for the bottom terrain of other rivers and lakes. Players will be able to explore a detailed depth map for other waterways as well as get information about underwater structures and fish using fish finders that will be added to the game in the nearest future. Not only does this map make navigation easier, but it also allows you to leave Marks to highlight your latest fishing spots and add a corresponding description, as well as randomly mark places on the water surface with special Marker Buoys. But what’s even cooler is that you can share your Markers with friends!

Photo Mode

Now you can capture and share your moments of triumph with others by taking beautiful photos of yourself holding that trophy catch from different angles! Just press the

button while you are still holding the fish and adjust the screen angle to your liking. You can also choose whether or not you want the fish stats to be displayed on your photo. You can make such screenshot of your catch within the Steam interface, by simply pressing F12. At this moment, Photo Mode is available only for bank fishing, but we’ll be adding this function for boat fishing a bit later as well.

Tackle Templates and Setups

Templates for your favorite tackle combos are finally here! Simply select a free slot in the Templates Menu to save the your current tackle set-up and reassemble it whenever you need with just one click! And you can even share your set-up Templates with friends!

Limited Home Storage and Inventory Expansion Yep, guys. Now that we’re introducing a true-to-life limited Home Storage, you’re gonna have to manage your space by getting rid of excess junk that you’re used to carrying around! But for those who still insist on more storage space, we’re adding a new option of Storage Boxes for inventory expansion that you can get as part of DLCs or from the in-game Store under the new SERVICES tab. Later on, you’ll also be able to get Storage Boxes as prizes for various in-game activities.

Lure Buoyancy Fixed Let’s look at the two main problems regarding lure buoyancy that existed up until now, and how we fixed them, in this simple BEFORE/AFTER overview: PROBLEM 1: The time it took lures to sink to the bottom. BEFORE: 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. AFTER: Now, just like in real life, a lure’s WEIGHT directly affects how fast it sinks. So now, it'll take more time for a light lure to go down than for a heavier one. PROBLEM 2: How the lures parted from the bottom on slow retrieves. BEFORE: Some lures would hardly take off the bottom when you made a retrieve using the first or second reeling speed. 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. AFTER: 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?

New Physics Namely: 1) fishing line made more rigid 2) lure hydrodynamics improved 3) improved collision rendering 4) line tension and rod tip action improved upon lure hitting the bottom 5) effect of wind on the lure 6) wind direction indicators and Cardinal Directions added Now you know where True North is and which way the wind is blowing

New sounds An extensive reworking of background sounds and the sound of wind added.

New Challenge for exploring added at every waterway

Enjoy exploring the game's waterways and their picturesque premises for a certain number of days in a row to complete all three stages of each challenge.

Changes to rule settings of competitions We fine-tuned the rules for all competitions based on the maximum total fish weight in your Keepnet: Cheesy Cat, Yellow Perch Goldrush, Fly like a Butterfly Swim like a Bass, Sturgeon in the Dark, Big Red Fish. As of now, the size of your Keepnet no longer affects the result and all fish count, including the ones you let go.

Convenient Support Form We added info on how to reach us, as well as a convenient support contact form directly from the game! You can access this new function from the Support tab in the Settings menu. In the future, we’ll make it possible to attach a screenshot to your support message. Please keep in mind, that the Support team’s reply will be sent to the email address you used upon registration. You can verify it in the Profile tab of the Settings menu.

We have added the ability to turn Flashlights on and off using "J". However, you can connect this function to any other hotkey in the game settings.

Chinese Language added! Ni hao and welcome, our dear Chinese-speaking friends! As you can see, this is one extensive update! We hope you enjoy the new features and improvements...and tight lines

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!

Fishing Planet isn’t just another game about fishing. 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!

Key features:

32+ species of fish, each with its unique behavior and AI.
7 scenic waterways with multiple locations, various climatic conditions, bottom terrains and vegetation.
Thousands of tackle combinations with unique physical and hydrodynamic properties.

Weather – day/night alternation, change of seasons, different weather conditions (rain, fog, bright sunshine)
Multiplayer capacity – online tournaments with personal and team scores, system of achievements, leader boards and top-player lists.

What makes us different:

Complex AI system for fish behavior that correlates with seasonal and climatic change, time of day, speed of water current, bottom contour and type (color and structure), water and air temperature, wind, etc. Biting/striking reactions for each fish species are completely realistic and natural as well as specifics of lure attacks.
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.
Dynamic water graphics – splashes, waves and ripples on the water create a fully realistic fishing atmosphere.
