We are happy to announce the Clubs are here! Inspired by the feedback of our amazing Community we put a lot of work and love in this feature and now we are incredibly excited to present it to you. It will be an amazing opportunity for you not only to identify your fellow anglers, but also create a safe place for sharing fishing knowledge and experience. So get your best fishing tackles and get ready! If Clubs nail it, Leagues will follow, so we are patiently waiting for your feedback. The epic community get-together is coming!

What are Clubs?

Clubs are an in-game social feature that will unite you with your friends and make team fishing easier than ever. Clubs can have a large number of members. You will be able to create your own community and hold your own events! Here are some Clubs features and functionalities you will get Membership: Players can join a club and become members, usually by sending a request or receiving an invitation from an existing member or the club leader. Communication: Clubs often have built-in communication tools such as chat and Discord channel. This allows you to coordinate strategies, share tips or simply socialize. Club Events: Clubs may organize regular or occasional events where only the club members can participate. In this iteration you could create your club room and fish with your club fellows, but this feature will be extended with the future updates. Club Benefits and Additional Experience: The possibility of receiving additional experience (XP) for catching fish in the same waterway surrounded by your clubmates using the Club Room. The more players in the room the greater the bonus everyone gets! These benefits also include exclusive in-game items, bonuses, xp, tips and separate space for fishing only with your clubmates. Sharing tackles and markers: You will be able to collect ANY BAIT WITHOUT LEVEL LIMITS from your teammates and will receive additional experience (XP) as a reward for donating baits or fish tags. One of the key perks of joining the clubs are:

• special chat only for club members where you can share baits and marker buoys
• a unique club room for fishing together, which allows you to receive an additional experience bonus for catching fish

How can you create or join a Club?

Every player who reached level 5 will be able to join or create a Club and start their own story of success in Fishing Planet. To create one from scratch, select Create Club from the Play menu. From there you will be able to choose a name, create a logo and preferred primary/secondary club specifications. To create your own club:

• hoose a Club Name and add a Description
• Select your Country or chose International flag
• Create Club Logo by using in-game club logo editor with all available elements in it
• Invite players to join

All club members are able to invite new players. Club membership is available for players of level 5 and higher, however level restrictions of the specific Club are determined by the Club President when the club is being created. Creating a logo will be possible from the available elements in the game creator and it will cost a certain amount of credits or baitcoins depending on the elements you choose. We are also planning on adding an option of uploading your own custom club logo in the future updates. As we mentioned above, players can send requests to join clubs or can be invited by already existing club members, but all the requests have to be approved by the Club Leader. As a Club Leader you can:

• Invite new members
• Set Club information and required level minimum for members
• Set a country of club origin
• Set Club logo
• Change Club Name
• Set Club activities
• Disband Club

If you do not want to own your Club anymore, you can also transfer ownership to another member.

Separate Club Menu

You will get a new Club menu tab that will help you better navigate through all necessary information. You will be able to scroll through all available clubs and choose the one you like to join or create your own club. There also will be all the info about clubs you joined and your own if you have one. All the club invites will also be there together with much more useful info. Previously we made a detailed review of the Clubs with a bunch of screenshots of the gameplay. If you havent seen it yet, we encourage you to read more about the Clubs feature in Developer Diaries. We are very excited about this feature and are eager to hear what you think about it!
