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.!

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.
