Leaving Early Access: Dec 2, 2026

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“We're happy with the game as it stands and feel it could hold its own as a 1.0, but a cozy, casual idler like this is best developed alongside the community, listening to feedback to decide what to prioritize. The places, trading and the new tiers all took shape that way.
”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We released most of our intended content and are waiting on art assets for the final batch of content before 1.0. We plan to leave Early Access on December 2nd, 2026.
”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“The shape of the game is set. What's left for the full release is the rest of the world: two more places with their own catches, and the cosmetics to go with them. As always, what we work on next is guided by what players are enjoying and asking for.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The game is fully playable and stable. The complete idle loop is in: three places to fish, each with its own journal of catches across rarity and grade systems, two tiers above Legendary, an aquarium to display your best catches, trading between lobbymates, cosmetics with colourways and skin tones, sets, titles and achievements, and multiplayer for up to 4 players on one pier, including an Arcade of mini games to play together. For most players the current content takes months to complete.
”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“We are not currently planning to change the price when we leave Early Access.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“We read Steam reviews and the Community discussions to see what players like, don't like, and would love to see added. There's also a Report a Problem / Feedback card in the game's Settings that lands straight in our inbox. All feedback is welcome!”
