Loan Shark News

[p]Hello there fisherpeople![/p][p][/p][p]Now that we're reaching the end of the Autumn Sale and of our first major discount for Loan Shark (let's wave our fishings rods for the newly indebted anglers out there), we want to keep the boat afloat with a huge announcement...[/p][p][/p][h2]🎉 The Multiple Endings Free Update (aka Hooked Edition)![/h2][p][/p][p]We’ve been listening closely to your feedback. [/p][p]One review in particular (the most liked one, in fact) summed it up perfectly:[/p][p] [/p][p]We hear you![/p][p]You wanted more endings to play. We also wanted more endings to deepen the story.[/p][p]So we're adding some.[/p][p][/p][h2]🔥 New in the Next Update[/h2]

• [p]Three new endings are being added to the game.[/p]
• [p]Two of them will be fairly easy to reach.[/p]
• [p]The third… it’s a little different. There's a secret path, an alternative way other than serving Cagliuso. You'll have to be compassionate and listen to find it. It's all about being a kind soul, after all.[/p]
• [p]In this new, more hidden ending, you will meet a new character.[/p]
• [p]New achievements to unlock, for a total of 16![/p]

[p]This update is all about giving your actions more weight, and expand on what we believe is the game's main theme (the dangers of independence) and its main pillar (the narrative).[/p][p][/p][h2]📣Tell Us What You Think![/h2][p]Thank you to everyone who’s been playing, reviewing, and pushing us to make the game better. Your feedback, either on Steam or on social media, was a huge reward because you took the game seriously as much as we did while we were building it. [/p][p][/p][p]This update is our way to thank you as well as to celebrate Loan Shark. This little game started as an experiment, but has now become the base for our work as indie developers. We are so proud of it. It's a dark game, but made our future brighter.[/p][p][/p][p]That's why we would love to hear again from you about the new endings! Update your review, text us here on Steam or on our Discord, email us. We tried our best at adding new endings and nuances to the story while remaining true to what we believe is the soul of Loan Shark: being a dark story about failure and broken dreams.[/p][p][/p][p]As always, stay hooked.[/p][p]

[p]Hello everyone,[/p][p]We finally have good news for AMD users!
[/p][p]As we reported earlier, AMD driver update 25.8.1 introduced a serious issue that caused invisible or flashing textures and made Loan Shark unplayable for many of you.[/p][p][/p][p]The fix is now live. AMD has released driver 25.9.2, which resolves the rendering problems not only in Loan Shark, but also in many other Godot-based games.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]⚠️ Please note: this update is not yet available through auto-update. You’ll need to download and install it manually from AMD’s official page: https://www.amd.com/en/resources/support-articles/release-notes/RN-RAD-WIN-25-9-2.html[/p][p][/p][p]Once updated, Loan Shark should run smoothly again.[/p][p][/p][p]Thanks again for your patience and for sticking with us through this hiccup. We’ll keep monitoring things in case of further issues, but for now, enjoy the game![/p][p][/p][p]Nicola

[p]Hi folks! This patch fixes a small bug where the loan shark's timer would reset to 45 Minutes whenever it ran out, allowing people to "get to port" using the boat and waiting, something that should be impossible.[/p][p][/p][p]Some poeple previously reported this issue and it also happened in the latest video from Markiplier :p [/p][p][/p][p][/p][previewyoutube][/previewyoutube][p][/p][p]We found the fix a couple of days ago and planned to release it with some other content, but I'm releasing it immediately seeing how common it might've become. Also, we are working on new endings and might add some "special" ones just in case you manage to break it. Thank you all![/p]
