Almost a year has passed since the last update and it was time to bring a few improvements to the game. These are suggestions from players, but also our own ideas that could be implemented. Originally, the update was supposed to be released in spring, but a tricky new fishing method took a little more time than planned:

Fly-Fishing

In addition to float and bottom lead fishing, spinning, spoon fishing and pilk fishing, fly fishing has been completely absent up to now. Not without reason, because this fishing method is difficult to implement in games. Now, however, it is possible to fish with a fly in (almost) all waters. The choice is made at the start of each map - you can choose between 'normal' fishing or fly fishing. This fishing method is still in its early stages and is therefore not yet available in competitions.

Bait retrieval

You can now speed up the retrieval of the bait considerably by pressing the Shift key in addition to the left mouse button!

Saving the rod setup

The setting of each individual fishing rod can be saved from this version onwards. The colour of the rod, the colour of the line, the choice of float, which lure etc. is saved by pressing 'G' and automatically set to this setting when you start the game the next day. With 'Shift+G' the setting for the rod is reset to default. This way you can permanently change any fishing rod with your favourite colours, pose and lure etc.!

New fish species

- Deuterodon - Twospot Astyanax - Piapara - Tararira (Wolf Fish) - Flatwhiskered Catfish

New fishing waters

Bhutan Fish Pond (Bhutan)
Rio Juramento (Argentina)
Sand Hollow (USA)
Khandala Lake (India)
Meandering River (Scottland)

[ 2023-07-03 19:54:07 CET ] [ Original post ]

This update brings some improvements to the game. Among other things, all maps have been revised because many fishing waters had problems with the sun in the morning and evening hours. The result is worth seeing! On a trial basis, a subdivision of different fish species in different ponds has been implemented, which was not possible before (here in Finca Esperanza, Colombia). Some bugs in the game statistics have been fixed. For example, there were always problems with double names such as eel and eel mother etc. You can read about all the other changes in the game under "News / Changelog".

6 new fish species

- Bicuda - Blue Fish - Mahseer - Nelma - Skygazer - Vampire Fish

13 New Venues

King-Mark-Caves(Guatemala)

A park for visitors with several caves. However, the game is only about the small pond.

Rice Paddies(Vietnam)

Very idyllic area with realistic looking mountains in the background.

Hue Citadel (Vietnam)

A conversion from my other game "Eve of Destruction - REDUX Vietnam". Here without shooting, but with fishing possibilities. I always wanted to know what swims around in these channels.

There are no beavers here, it is an artificial park with a pond. By the way, the swan is a pedal boat from which you can fish.

Lake Condor(Peru)

El Condor Pasa steammocking

Rio Seco (Columbia)

Very murky water due to soil erosion. Nevertheless beautiful.

Rio Perquilauquen (Chile)

Small river in Chile with a ferry and a football pitch. It takes a bit of practice to kick a ball, but it is great fun to score beautiful goals steammocking. If you prefer fishing, you can of course do it on the river or on the ferry.

Donez (Ukraine)

Border river between Russia and Ukraine. In game you can see how it could work.

Finca Esperanza (Columbia)

Pond system with different fish species per pond.

House Of The Rising Sun (Cambodia)

Namunyak (Kenya)

Fishing waters with a lot of African flair steammocking

Post10 Perpetuation in Halls Pond (USA)

[ 2022-07-06 23:26:16 CET ] [ Original post ]

In addition to new features, there are a few new maps in the current version.

Galaxies that no human has ever seen before

Kepler-452b

Don't ask how to get there. With today's rocket technology, the journey would take 26 million years! But no problem in the game - fishing on a far away exoplanet. Since it is unknown which fish are on this planet and whether there is life there at all, the most primitive fish of the earth were used as a substitute. steamhappy

Apocalypse now!

The world has been destroyed by comets and the zombie epidemic has swept mankind away. 29 weeks later you wake up from the coma and are the last survivor. What do you do first? A shelter - check. Water - Check. Search for food... Of course the first thing to do is to go fishing and catch some fish for dinner steamhappy 4 new venues and 6 fish species are included in the new update.

As mentioned above, this is a fictitious body of water in an apocalyptic scenario. Creepy background noises and hitting comets provide for atmosphere.

Story-Mode

The new story-mode was experimentaly included in the last update for some waters. With the new update all waters are now equipped with the new game mode and in menu you can have a look at the waters for which the task already is done and wich medals you have received.

New waters

Nile (Egypt)

New fish species

- Candlefish (aka Hooligan) - Nile Perch - Elephantfish - Nile Tilapia

[ 2020-06-29 09:03:45 CET ] [ Original post ]

The new update brings 2 completely new fishing possibilities.

Story-Mode (experimental)

You have to complete a variety of tasks, for example catch fish for a village feast or a big catfish and even use a pilk to detonate an old aircraft bomb. There are no limits with the different stories steamhappy At the moment the story mode is still 'experimental' because of course it hasn't been implemented for all waters yet and for later on a kind of evaluation with 'rewards' is planned. But you can already try the new mode for some waters.

Pilk fishing from a fishing boat or cutter

In addition to trolling, you can now go pilk fishing from a boat in most oceans. Pilking can be optionally selected when starting the map.

New map: Fehmarnbelt (Germany)

Try pilk fishing from a cutter on the (in Germany) famous "MS Anja", which starts from Heiligenhafen. The real ship has a slightly different name, but it looks very similar to the real one steamhappy

Canoe Spawn

With the new update you can now spawn a canoe in every possible water (F4 key) and fish from boat! If you have accidentally placed the boat in the wrong place (for example on land), you can reposition the boat by pressing the F4 key several times.

Display of the catches at the water

Long overdue was the display of the catches made at the fishing waters. This is now possible (key F3)!

New map: Serchio with Ponte del Diavolo (Italy)

A pretty historic bridge, a large dam and big fish can be found in this varied body of water.

New map: Dalyan Bogazy (Turkey)

Whoever's cold can warm up here. Very beautiful river and landscape in the southern Mediterranean part of Turkey.

Update with many extensions and improvements

Small splashes on water surface during casting and stroke, jumping fish that now jump at different places and different camera positions in boats (keys 1-0) are nice new features. But much more extensive are changes in the main menu with new functions.

New submenu to select fishing waters

All waters at a glance, sorted by water type, make the selection easier for beginners and advanced anglers. Additionally, you can (by clicking on the dice) go to a randomly selected water.

Daily News

In the 'News' section you can now find additional daily news, which are automatically created by the game. So every special feature is displayed, for example new world records, new casting records, especially big fish caught etc.

Tournaments

There were performance problems in the competitions when the competition had been running for several days. This was simply because the many fish had to be evaluated at certain intervals and the more fish caught, the worse it was for performance. This problem can now be avoided by switching off the HUD. Furthermore, it is now possible to display the fish species of the water in competitions (key F2).

New fish species and new 3D models

Newly added are the octopus and the stingray, which can be found in oceans all over the world. The ray in game is representative of the hundreds of ray species that exist around the globe. For a few species of fish the 3D models were exchanged for better ones. So for the ugly Nase there is finally a much better model available. Also Rockfish and Piranha have been exchanged for new -animated- 3D models!

Music by Julia Westlin

Really dreamlike music by Julia Westlin comes into the game with the new version (Radio - key R). Julia is an independent musician, songwriter and painter from Sweden. At this point I would like to thank Julia for her support and the permission to use the music in game! Please support Julia with many thumbs up on Youtube. https://www.youtube.com/user/JuliaWestlin

New Setups

Especially for river fishing a setup without float was introduced. This allows you to let the lure drift in the stream. In levels 4 and 5 without additional bite indicator you have to keep an eye on the line to see the bite - just like in real fishing! This setup is the last in the group of floats, just 1 before the sinker! For bottom fishing additional beep sounds have been added for the 'electronic bite indicator'. Furthermore, a control beep is made immediately after the cast.

Predators on the prowl

We know it from the water: hundreds of small breeding fish flee in panic to the water surface and create eddies. Predatory fish are hunting here! For anglers a sign to unpack the blinker :) This effect is now also in game and can cause a frightening moment every now and then.

Bats

At the last competition in Bodiam Castle, England, I was fishing at night and I saw this spotlight illuminating the castle. My first thought was: 'there should be bats flying around'. And bam! Now there are bats flying, which looks really good :) It has nothing to do with fishing, but it lifts the atmosphere.

lbs und inch

The game is based with it's statistics on the metric system with grams and centimeters, which is used worldwide. In the USA and a few other countries it is not so common yet. That's why now when you catch a fish, lbs and inches (pounds and inches) are displayed in addition! But this only applies to the catch display! To change the complete statistic system would be much too complex and would be the source of too many errors.

New map: Frank Falls, Canada

Atmospheric map in the wilderness of Canada. Must be seen by day and especially at night.

New map: Rio Salado, Argentina

The name says it all: Rio Salado. Here you don't fish in the cloudy, but in salad :) Not bad!

[ 2020-04-14 09:36:59 CET ] [ Original post ]

Floats

The new update will improve the float sinking animations. Each fish species has a different bite, but most will pull the float below the water surface. But there are also fish species wich willraise the float, i.e. carp, bream, barbel and others. This, too, has been taken into account.

Private Tournaments

Until now, only public competitions were possible. If you want to hold a competition with relatives or friends, you can now do so! Mark the contest as 'private' and set a password. Give the password to your friends and they can join the contest!

Sauer, Luxembourg

The Sauer is a river in Luxembourg that offers a high biodiversity. Even salmon and sea trout are present!

Changes with fishing

The rotation speed of the rod (to the fish) has been increased, which makes the drill look more realistic.

Changes with tournaments

The two-hour competition had to be cancelled without replacement due to unfairness in the evaluation. With these short competitions it was too easy to push yourself up the list of cup winners. As a result, these competitions will no longer be evaluated and will be removed for the future. So you can now only create competitions between 1 - 7 days.

Bugfixes in competitions

Unfortunately, there was a translation problem in the competitions, which is why some turneys were displayed incorrectly or not at all. This bug is now fixed!

In addition to eliminating a few smaller bugs there are 3 new fishing waters in game:

• Lake Brienz (Lake in Switzerland)
• Maguare (a small pond in Colombia)
• Theiss Lake (Lake in Hungary, here just a part of it!)

In Norway - Faerder Lighthouse - the deep sea fishing was added. It works just like in previous deep-sea fishing maps like Tanzania and Fiji! In addition, you can now catch the following new fish species:

• East/North Sea: Flounder, Halibut, Common Dab, Turbot, Pollock, Saithe, Common Ling and Porbeagle!
• Europe: Vimba Bream, White-Eye and Linear Carp. For Europe a bug with the Crucian Carp and Bullhead was eliminated, wich prevented that these species could be caught.
• Asia: Grass carp and Pacu
• North America: American Shad
• South America: Traira (Tigerfish), Skipjack Tuna, Dourado

If you want to perfect your fishing, you can choice fish bait for specific fish species. In addition to new plastic fishes and -frog, blinkers and pilker there is now a selection of baits for floats and sinkers. Worm, corn, maggots, boilies, dough, bread, various types of nut, cheese, cherry, strawberry, bacon, beetle, spider and bait fish for targeted fishing on specific fish species. It is important to know that the choice of bait reduces the number of possible catches (!) and only to thetargeted fish will bite. An example: Nuts are mainly used for Orfe and Chub. All other fishes will hardly or not bite at all! So it will take much longer to catch something, but the desired species of fish will be on the hook. The individual baits are described in game. Another news is the setting of the field of view in game. You can set it between 40-70, standard is 50 (so far 60). This gives you a much better view on floats. 'F' changes the value (it's also discribed in the box with the shortcuts). At the request of some players, the rate at which fish get off from the hook and strikes fail were increased. So the game gets a little closer to reality. However, this rate is just been carefully adjusted! And last but not least: The animations of the rods during the drill were smoothed, that means they don't 'flutter' anymore.

The game was released just 2 days ago and the start was really impressive. Thanks to all of you who helped and gave the first feedback!!! 2 small-rather insignificant- bugs have already been localized and fixed for the first coming update! What has surprised me very much was that in just 2 days you've already caught over 3000 fish !!! This is sensational, but I'm afraid that the statistics are bursting very soon. Therefore another solution for the statistics is needed and I am already working on it. At the moment, clicking on 'Today caught fish (World)' causes an FPS collapse. This is because more than 1500 fish have been caught 'today' and these have to be calculated and displayed from the world record file, which requires some processing power. Currently it affects only this one menu item and the error is also fixed for the upcoming update! There are also new ideas for the game. One point will be that you can choose different baits to fish specifically for certain fish species. Of course, this should be done easily and without many menus, much like selecting the fishing rod or the setup. Following the motto 'Keep it simple'.
