Hey there fellow anglers! Time has come for us to share the road map and the vision we have for the future of Fishing Planet.

From day one our team had a detailed vision of how an ideal fishing game should look and how it should feel.

Since the launch of Early Access we were trying to listen to all of you and take into account what you’d like to see and what would be interesting to you. To our surprise and joy both the community’s and our own Vision practically coincided. This is great as it proves that we are all on the same page.

Surely we made some changes to prioritization of features and perks that we’ll be introducing, but the overall image of the game will stay as planned from the very beginning. This only goes to prove once again that all anglers from all over the world think alike and essentially want the same things.

But we are not only good at planning and feeling what you may want, we really do what we say and throughout last three month since we've launched Fishing Planet we have proven that. Just take a look at a shortened list of things we've done:

• New big lake added

• Multiple achievements added
  and a lot more...

Now, we shall share what we plan on doing in future and the following list of features is divided into phases according to the time-frame of delivery.

This is only a less than a year perspective. We have a lot more in our heads =)
