A Fresh Look, 3D Water & Another Dive into the Demo!

Hey, anglers!

We've been giving a fresh look to the environment, and this update brings a big visual overhaul to the water, the town, and the world around you. There are also gameplay fixes, a few new visitors at sea, and a little something for everyone who has already finished the demo.

A whole new look for the water

The water has been rebuilt as a real 3D scene, replacing the previous 2D effect. It's one of the biggest visual changes in this update, giving your time out on the water a fresh feel.

Rain and thunderstorms have received visual improvements too, bringing more atmosphere to those stormy fishing sessions.

A livelier town, right from day one

The town has had a visual overhaul and now feels more alive. We've also made it accessible from the very first in-game day, so you can start exploring it earlier.

And yes… dolphins! 🐬

We've added dolphins. That deserved its own section. 😊

Fixes and improvements

  • Improved tooltip smoothness.
  • Fixed missing translations on some items.
  • Fixed issues with quests.
  • Made the town accessible from the first in-game day.

Finished the demo? Come back for another round!

We've reset demo access for everyone who previously completed it!

If you've already reached the end of the demo, you can jump back in and enjoy the new version again. It's a good excuse to revisit the town, check out the new water, and keep an eye out for dolphins.

Thanks for playing and sharing your feedback. We'd love to hear what you think of the new look!

Happy fishing!
