Ultimate Fishing Simulator 2 News

Hey all,
we just released the first batch of bigger changes that are part of the overhauled systems and fixes.

It was a pain at the beginning but right now we are working smoothly and we should release small patches/updates more often! As announced earlier, you can track the progress on Trello: https://trello.com/b/sLpm1XNk/ultimate-fishing-simulator-2-dev-pipeline-public

I guess you are more interested in changes than my monologue, so let's get into the details.

[h3]Changelog | 0.23.08.09:1380[/h3]
[h3]New[/h3]

• New water system
  
• New water physics
  
• New fishing line system (only fishing line, reel drag is still old)
  
• New water effects:
  • Caustic effect
    
  • Dynamic waves
    
  • Rain ripples
    
  • Fishing line-cutting water effect

[h3]Changes[/h3]

• Changes in Stamina system (re-work in progress)
  
• Changed & improved hook connection with fishing line

[h3]Fixes[/h3]

• Fixed fish unhooking
  
• Fixed 5000 caught fish achievement
  
• Fixes in offline mode
  
• Fixed underwater camera height/tilt position not being saved

[h3]Known issues[/h3]

• Overwater camera not working for topwater lures
  
• The underwater effect can be sometimes too dark during storm/night or regular weather
  
• "Remove an item by holding RMB" - it is in this build but the key is not mapped. We will map button be default tomorrow (you can also do it by yourself in-game settings).

The list is not long - I know, but there is plenty of things that we did in the background. The most important right now is the Fish System (how they spawn, behave, etc.). We move tabs on Trello a few times a week, so you can check how things are going :)

[h3]Serious question[/h3]
But besides working on game systems that we need to do, we would like to invite you to a short survey about NEW features and what should be done first (we have our guess but maybe you will surprise us). We would be grateful for answers in the survey (only 1 question):

[h3]Feedback[/h3]
As always - we are grateful for every kind of feedback. If you have any issues remember that there is an in-game bug reported [F5] on the keyboard and you can post your feedback on the Steam forum or our Discord!

Regards,
Rafał & UFS2 Team

Hello Everyone,
we know it's been a while since we last gave you any updates on the roadmap for Ultimate Fishing Simulator 2 (UFS2). For this, we owe you a big apology. Keeping our awesome community in the loop is super important to us, and we dropped the ball there.

But, we're dusting ourselves off and turning a new leaf. We're aiming for more transparency and better communication from here on out. To show you we're serious about this, we've taken a pretty major step: our UFS2 Trello board is now public!

https://trello.com/b/sLpm1XNk/ultimate-fishing-simulator-2-dev-pipeline-public

If you're not familiar with Trello, it's a tool we use to keep our work organized. It helps us track what we're working on, what's been done, and what's coming up next. We've got everything from bug fixes, reworks to new content outlined there. Tip: Click on color or press on the keyboard [; :] to display text labels so you understand it better!



You'll see how we're navigating through the development journey and, more importantly, how we're listening to your feedback and implementing it into the game. It's not always smooth sailing, but we're committed to making UFS2 a decent game.

Take a look, let us know what you think, and remember - your feedback always makes a difference. Thanks for sticking with us!

Now you can see if your ISSUE/BUG was listed there. If it wasn't let us know!

Tight lines,
Rafal
