Dev Q&A with FishWiki Discord PM @ 5pm PST



Hi everyone, I've been asked by the large & vibrant FishWiki Discord community to stream the game and do an AMA. We'll also be streaming to Steam. If you want to join their Discord, feel free to do so here.

Steam Deck Update

We're still working on getting the "verified" certification, but wanted to let everyone know we've published an official control scheme (which you can change with Steam Input if you don't like it) and are labelled "playable".

Not the MOST exciting update, but a lot of people are asking about compatibility. We know what needs doing and weren't expecting full verification, but for those chompin' at the bit & willing to read the control guide and squint a little, you can play the game on your Steam Deck. Please note: cloud saves aren't yet implemented, so your Steam Deck and PC tank collections will be separate.

Here's what still remains before we achieve the coveted Green Deck Check, hopefully this can help you decide whether you think it's worth a spin or if you'd rather wait for the full meal:



We'll keep you posted on when these items are taken care of, and let us know if you notice any deck-specific issues. Feel free to hop on over to discord: https://t.co/IFOVmV5mbW.

Hotfix Nov 4, 2024

Just a quick hotfix for a couple more bugs, and a couple bugs we thought were fixed last night that it turned out weren't.

-Fixed bug with unlocked inventory slots that would dump their contents in the tank on game load.
-Fixed bugs with tank settings preventing world background from saving.
-Fixed bug allowing duplicate tank glass backgrounds.
-Fixed a large number of fish having flexibility values of 0, allowing them to fold in half. (This fix may only affect new fish)

2D fish remain, alas/rejoice
