The game-changing Update is almost here! We have put a lot of effort in delivering it and you should know - fishing is now addictive as never before. Things shall be tuned but we are sure that current update will change the way you fish!
Read the updates with attention!
Additional tackle parameters
New parameters influencing casting mechanic 1) Rod Casting Test 2) Lure Weight 3) Lure Windage 4) Line Thickness – visibility factor in Fish AI increased 5) Reel Type (cast reel or spin reel) 6) Line Type (braid or mono/flur) 7) Min Cast Weight (of lure) for cast reels
New bobber params enabling unique sensitivity and lifting capacity for each bobber type
BALANCE YOUR SETUP WISELY! THE SETUP IS ALWAYS A BALANCE NOW!
HEAVY LURES CAN BREAK THIN LINE AND IF THE LINE IS STRONG ENOUGH AND YOU CAST A STONE-HEAVY LURE YOU MAY DAMAGE A LIGHT ROD.
STRONG LINE REQUIRES A STRONG REEL AND MAY SAFE YOU FROM THE INITIAL STRIKE OF A FISH BUT BREAK YOUR REEL IN THE LEAST APPROPRIATE MOMENT.
IDEAL CASTING DISTANCE DEPENDS ON PUTTING THE RIGHT LINE, LURE, ROD AND REEL. IT ALL MATTERS!
BOBBERS NOW SINK IF YOU USE A TOO HEAVY BAIT. READ BOBBER MAXFLOATWEIGHT PARAMETER.
Fish AI
Introduction of fish fatigue - the more tired the fish is the lower its power is and the lesser load it can create. Each species now gets tired differently, some create only several bursts of energy and then get shocked, some like smallies will fight until the very end.
Introduction of hiding spots for fish - now Fish AI can determine the underwater objects (snags, stones, holes with plants) where it can hide. If the fish determines an underwater object close to itself it shall try to escape to that place. When a fish enters such a place you can get snagged due to plants and other trash.
Detailed tuning of fish physical body parameters to simulate its movement in water when you reel it in and it resists, how the body turns in the water and how the trajectory of fish movement changes.
Fish escape due to ultra-high line tension or low line tension tuned. Do not leave your line slack - the fish may get rid of the hook.
Fish sizes/weights now vary significantly. The hook size is still a factor you need to keep in mind but the overall impact on the size of the fish you can hook and catch is now a lot less strict. You can now catch a unique using a small hook, if you manage to fight it somehow =) So don't relax it is getting a lot less predictable
Improving distribution AI and diminishing hot spots
Item durability system
Items are now separated in two groups - items that wear out due to daily use (clothing, rod cases, etc) and items that gradually wear out per each use (tackle).
The more load you put on tackle the faster it will wear out and if you exceed max loads it can break instantly.
New Load Indication
Casual angler Indicator now demonstrates which specific part of your set up is under load, letting you react and lower your rod thus projecting load on reel and not line or rod. This way you shall need to use the tackle wisely and move around with the rod with attention during the fish fight.
Pro angler Indicators a more detailed indicator for pros that fight monsters and when seconds to reaction matter (and they will, they will)
A complete new Ultralight DLC
Now that the loads work properly you will very well consider that using UL tackle is a great option. UNIQUELY AVAILABLE IN THE DLC A thin almost transparent but immensley stron line, beautiful rod and reel featured in different sizes and MicroSpinner along with MicroSpoons http://store.steampowered.com/app/423361
Drag
Reels will now have 6, 8 or 12 drag positions thus giving you more control.
Drag setting are now distributed equally per each position, no more exponential growth
When drag works it light up on the UI
Similar fish/hook weight/size issue fix
a game-changer – MONSTER WILL OCCASIONALLY BITE
Ability to sell items
Line cutting window added when equipping line
Now when you equip line we give you option to choose how much line you'd like to equip. Line is now stockable anymore, equipping line means creating new piece of it.
Chat overhaul and improvement
