Halloween Minipatch

To celebrate Halloween, we've added a few new fish costumes. We've also finally added the long awaited "Witchy" hat, as well as a new Halloween exclusive fish.

Another Swimming Hotfix

  • Now press "Enter" to slow velocity while swimming (instead of "Space"); this no longer drains O2.
  • Flicking with an uncooled Magmer on the line now snaps the line.
  • Added 3 new fish (one contest winner) and a new hat.
  • Phase 100% no longer gets stuck on rocks.

Ancient Ancestors Update

While the silo is still firmly sealed, there is a new patch out now!

You will first need to discover how to unlock the Tech Boat before you can set out to catalog the dozens of new fish that our talented artist, Formex326, has brought to life.

I'll keep the new stuff vague, but:

[h2]Balance Changes:[/h2]
  • Changed Magnalav approach conditions (easier to attract).
  • Piercer gets tired of chasing the lure after some time.
  • Lightbulb lure duration extended (happy exploring!)

[h2]Bugfixes:[/h2]
  • You can no longer scare fish off the boat with bombs.
  • Selling a hat from the Hatalog no longer gives double dollars.
  • Loading the game with Moga or Maw on the line no longer crashes the game.
  • Selling an Abyssal after loading the game no longer results in crashbug.
  • Fish no longer jump off the boat on loading the game with a full boat.
  • Fish should no longer respawn as bones.
  • Cardina Data (red skitter) bug should no longer occur.

[h2]Performance:[/h2]
  • Last year I coded a performance enhancement that disabled far-away fish to speed up processing. It resulted in a number of obscure crash bugs, so I've undone the optimization. You may notice a slight performance drop with this patch. For what it's worth, know the fish are having a lot of fun off screen.


Swimming Hotfix

Made swimming a little more fun, made some visual changes, and patched a few bugs. Even added a few fish, but no major content changes. Save files should be more stable, and they are saved redundantly now, but your mileage may vary.

Maybe more to come soon?

November Hotfix

  • Mythic hats are now purchasable after level 45.
  • Slightly increased spawn rate for some huge fish.
  • Fixed a bug causing Bombats not to bite rocks.
  • Fixed a bug preventing the Mamo from being caught.
  • Other minor bug fixes.
