🛠️ Patch Notes – 250611

[p]Hey crew! 🌊[/p][p]We’ve got a fresh batch of fixes and improvements coming in hot — thanks again to everyone who's been playing, testing, and helping us find these weird little gremlins. Here's what's changed:[/p][hr][/hr][h3]🟢 Safezone HUD Update[/h3][p]We’ve cleaned up the HUD so it’s clearer when you’re in a safe zone.
When you're here, you can breathe easy — time won’t run out on you!
[/p][h3]💀 Player List – Now With More Death[/h3][p]You should now see your glorious (or tragic) fate reflected in the player list.
Dead? It’ll say so. Alive? Keep it that way.[/p][p][/p][h3]✅ To-Do List![/h3][p]We've added a handy To-Do List on your HUD!
Now you and your crew can keep track of objectives without yelling over each other (…but feel free to yell anyway).
[/p][h3]🌊 Ocean Surface Tweaks[/h3][p]The ocean's gotten a tiny visual upgrade — nothing major, just a bit more detail to help it feel alive. Or maybe it's just hungry. Who knows.
[/p][h3]🚤 Lobby Name = Boat Name[/h3][p]Typing in the lobby name from the main menu?
Your boat name should now update properly to match what you're typing. No more "Boaty McBoatlobby" confusion. (Unless that’s your thing.)
[/p][h3]🎣 Fishing Line Fix[/h3][p]Other players can finally see your fishing line again while you’re reeling in a catch.
No more haunted invisible lines — it’s all very normal and not cursed at all. We promise. 👀
[/p][h3]🔊 VOIP Stability[/h3][p]We've done some tinkering to improve voice chat stability.
Still a bit tricky to pin down, but it should be more reliable now. If it's still acting up, let us know — this one's a sneaky one. :c
[/p][hr][/hr][p]That’s it for now — thanks again for sticking with us, and for all the bug reports, chaos, and cursed fish energy. More updates soon![/p][p]❤️

🎣 Hotfix Patch Notes

[p]Hey fishers! 🐟[/p][p]We’ve reeled in a couple of slippery bugs that managed to flop their way into the build:
[/p][h3]🪣 Starter Area Crash Fix[/h3][p]Some of you discovered that casting a line in the starter area as a non-host caused the whole game to go belly-up.
Turns out, we forgot to tell the game there was fresh trash to be found there… whoops! 😅 That’s sorted now — cast away without fear!
[/p][h3]🔌 Connection Stability[/h3][p]We’ve tightened up the bolts on session disconnects and reconnects. Things should feel a lot more stable now when hopping back into a crew.[/p][p]Thanks again for reporting these, and for being part of the chaos with us. Keep the bug reports coming — and maybe a few fish, too.
[/p][p]❤️
