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!

New venue: Big Game (Finnland)

Worldwide Sports Fishing

Worldwide Sports Fishing is a 3D fishing simulation for fishing-beginners and -professionals with fishing waters all around the globe.
Each water has it's own fish species with different drilling characteristics.

Caught fishes get stored localy (on PC) and online and you can compare your records with the records from other players and friends.

Special feature: you can recommend your dream fishing water and it will get into the game - if possible!

Fishing Waters

There are different fishing waters like rivers, lakes, ponds and coasts where you can go fishing. Each fishing water has it's own fish species which occur in this water.

Drivable Vehicles

You can go fishing anywhere at these waters. To get to these fishing spots you can run there or use your motorboat or canoe.

Hotspots

In the case of large waters, you also have the opportunity to get to different hotspots with a quick trip!

Fish Species

The different fishing waters just have the fish species wich are actually found there. A lot of different fish species, whether fresh- or saltwater, whether predators or non-predators are waiting to be caught..

Day/Night cycle

Nearly all waters have a Day/Night cycle and you can select the daytime on start of the water. So it's possible to fish at any day- or night-time you want!

5 Difficulties

You also can select the difficulty levels, wich are:
1 - Sunday fisher
2 - Rookie
3 - Normal
4 - Difficult
5 - Professional

Level 5 is similar to real-fishing so it may take a long time to get a bite!
But in level 5 you get five times the number of points for a caught fish, which is reflected in the world rankings and your own statistics!

Propose new waters

As a special feature, you can suggest your own dream waters for the game. If possible, this will be included in the game and will be released with the next update.

Indie

The game is 100% indie and was made by just one person.
