The release date is near, and we are grateful for your feedback so far. We have implemented many changes based on your input and right now, we’ve made a huge change on how Research Points (RPs) work. This adjustment ensures that if a level feels too challenging, you will have access to more RPs, more technologies and new maps at a faster pace.

During testing, we played through all maps using only the basic setup, without spending any RPs. It is entirely possible to succeed this way and we believe the game will feel easier once you fully grasp the mechanics. To keep things challenging, we are also introducing the Mutator system, allowing levels to become more difficult later on!

Here are the latest changes:

• Added a new UI explaining how to earn RPs.
  
• RPs are now awarded for: surviving each new night, completing the level with each vehicle, and surviving 10 nights.
  
• The next map will unlock after surviving 5 nights on the previous map.
  
• Rebalanced the costs of certain technologies in the Tech Tree.

That’s all for now.

Have fun!

Hello Humans! 👽

We are glad to announce that Who Are You!? has been featured on IGN! You can watch the latest trailer and find more information about the game at the following links:

⏩ IGN Page Trailer

⏩ IGN US

⏩ Youtube IGN

⏩ IGN INDIA

⏩ Youtube GameTrailers

On the other hand, we've been working on the characters of the game, so here's a sneak peek of Amanda's concept! What do you think? We'd love to hear your thoughts.

See you soon, Human.

The world of Highreach is coming to life with Points of Interest (POIs)—dynamic locations that can spawn enemies, hold valuable loot, and even play a crucial role in your journey through the game.

POIs are spawned structures that are scattered around the world, just waiting for you to explore them.
They can be towering structures as well as small enemy camps. It is always worth exploring POIs, sometimes for loot and sometimes for a combat challenge!
Loot chests can hold crucial recipes, valuable jewelry and even quest relevant items.
Some POIs even tie into the backstory of companion characters.
But all this loot needs to be guarded of cause, bigger POIs are home to a considerable number of enemies, some even unique to their structures.



Each island in Highreach features pre-designed spawn locations for POIs, ensuring that every adventure feels fresh and exciting. These locations have a chance-based system, meaning different POIs can appear in different places with each playthrough. To keep exploration balanced, a sophisticated system distributes and weights POIs based on their size and type—creating an immersive and different world every time you set foot in it.



POIs come in four sizes, each offering unique opportunities:

• Tiny – Mostly decorative, but some hide special interactions.
  
• Small – Expect a few enemies and minor loot rewards.
  
• Medium & Large – These are full-scale structures filled with enemies and multiple loot chests, making them high-risk, high-reward locations!

As you explore the first biome, you’ll encounter three distinct POI types:

• Rodling Camps – Hostile enemy settlements filled with danger and loot.
  
• Fallen Kingdom – Ancient ruins with secrets waiting to be uncovered.
  
• Abandoned Camps – Scattered remnants of past explorers… but are they truly abandoned?

And this is just the beginning! Future updates will reveal even more POI types, ensuring there’s always something new to discover.



What do you think of the POI system?
Let us know in discussions, leave a like, and share your thoughts!
If you’re excited about what’s to come, spread the word on our social channels:
https://highreach.carrd.co/ ☁️

Stay tuned for more updates, and we’ll see you in Highreach! ✨

Launching today (along with 1 free fish being added to the base game, the Weather Loach!)!

2 new content DLC for Fish Game, as well as adding one new free fish to the base game. We are also launching a Patreon to continue adding more fish to the game. I'm sure you have questions, so please read to the end.

First, however, here's the DLC details!

FREE PACK includes:

• Bloodfin tetra
  
• Bronze corydora
  
• Bicolor red & black common goldfish
  
• Chocolate neon tetra
  
• Julii corydora
  
• Speckled shortfin molly
  
• Creamsicle shortfin molly
  
• Golden common goldfish
  
• Koi guppy (with 4 tail types!)
  
• Green guppy (with 4 tail types)

And, as voted on by the community, ASIA PACK #1 includes:

• Bicolor plakat betta (red & blue)
  
• Black line rasbora
  
• Interrupted line danio
  
• Lake tebera rainbowfish
  
• Porthole rasbora
  
• Siamese algae eater
  
• Tiger hillstream loach
  
• White cloud minnow
  
• Zebra hillstream loach

Like always, every fish is designed to behave like their real-world counterparts (as closely as our systems allow).

If you were hoping for different fish, good news! That's what the Patreon is for! But first, I'll answer some questions that came up on Discord that I think are very valid:

WHY ARE YOU SHIPPING DLC WHILE OTHER SYSTEMS ARE STILL BEING DEVELOPED?
"I wish ________ fish was in the game" is the #1 thing we hear that is actionable without interrupting core development. Ryan's our only systems developer, Josh is our modeler/tech artist and Erin does all the fish painting. Josh & Erin are able to integrate new fish without having to pull Ryan away from systems design.

WHY START A PATREON?
Fish Game is a niche title made without publisher support. We are so far from profitability. But I'd like us to be able to keep working on it as long as possible for the players who love it and so the people working on it can have jobs.

IS DISCORD GOING BE FOR PATREON SUPPORTERS ONLY?
No. Patreon just doesn't have an front-end display option more nuanced than "Discord Access". Patreon subscribers will have access to one channel specifically dedicated to voting on DLC.

WILL IMPORTANT GAMEPLAY FEATURES BE LOCKED BEHIND DLC?
No. DLC will be content only: fish, plants, hardscape, and non-essential hardware. Patreon is *solely* for people who want to support Fish Game more than with an initial purchase.

WHAT ARE THE PATREON PERKS?
The full details are on the Patreon Page here. But here are the highlights for most players:

1. We have several content DLC packs ready to go and while we haven't scheduled them all, releases will be regular.
   
2. Memberships above $3/mo will be able to vote on which DLC are released next.
   
3. Memberships above $5/mo will get:
   • DLC Steam codes automatically sent to their inboxes without having to purchase them while subscribed.
     
   • A name of your choice (subject to approval) that the game will randomly assign to fish in stores.
4. There are also higher-level tiers the let you choose a fish you want in the game and help design its behavior.

Thanks for reading!

Gord & the Fish Game team

We are excited to finally announce the official release date for Shadowveil: Legend of the Five Rings. Launching on March 4th 2025!



If you'd like to jump into the action as soon as possible, you will have a chance to experience the game as part of Steam Next Fest between February 24th and March 3rd.





With love,
- The team at Palindrome Interactive

Yesterday, we ended the #CruisingGreece World of Trucks event for Euro Truck Simulator 2. To celebrate the conclusion of this successful event, we're excited to announce the release of the Greek Mythology Pack! So in this blog, let's wrap up and recap the latest WoTr event as well as present the beautiful Greece-themed paint jobs pack for ETS2.


The #CruisingGreece event began on December 4th with the release of our latest ETS2 map expansion. Although our #BestCommunityEver had almost two months to complete it, they managed to reach the community goal in just twelve days! The collective target was to drive 200 million kilometres while delivering cargo to or from any city in Greece. This is simply astonishing. You accomplished this sooner than any of us believed!

In total, you have driven 387,426,427 kilometres! More than 93 thousand players took part in the event and over 48,000 finished all 15 jobs and accomplished their individual goals. Although it wasn't a deciding factor for the community goal, we wanted to share this statistic too - you've completed 827,116 deliveries while participating in this event!


We would like to thank everyone who participated in this event and the team behind its production. We hope you are enjoying the beautiful rewards they prepared for you!



The Greek Mythology Pack was initially supposed to be released along with the map expansion. However, due to some unfortunate technical issues with the previous paint jobs, we needed to retouch and rework them a little. Now that the work is done, the end of the Cruising Greece event seems like a great opportunity to release it.


Travel back to ancient times with the Greek Mythology Paint Jobs Pack! Perfect for hauling cargo across Greece's scenic landscapes, these designs bring history and myth to life on the highways of Euro Truck Simulator 2. Now, every journey becomes a heroic odyssey.







This DLC lets you adorn your truck with the spirit of classic Greek myths through five detailed paint jobs inspired by legendary creatures. Each design captures the essence of a timeless tale from Greece’s epic past, transforming your truck into a chariot of ancient myths as you journey across Europe. Paint jobs included in this DLC:

• Medusa
  
• Hydra
  
• Cerberus
  
• Minotaur
  
• Pegasus

This paint jobs pack is already available on Steam, so make sure to get it and cruise the roads of Greece like an ancient king!

We hope you are excited about this new content! Remember to follow us on our social media (X/Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, Bluesky, TikTok) so you won't miss out on any news from the world of Euro Truck Simulator 2, and share screenshots and videos with us featuring the new paint jobs. We'd also really appreciate it if you could sign up for our newsletter to stay informed, even when you're not able to check out the blog or our socials. Drive safe!

Have a great week!

Brave Ones!

In this Year of the Green Snake, we wish you the same grace, wisdom, and strategic thinking as this ancient symbol! May your adventures be thrilling and your achievements grand. May luck slither behind you like a snake and help you reach new levels!
