Ultimate Fishing® Simulator News

Game Update | 2.3.23.12:241

Changelog:
  • Added missing lures support (ex. Sakura lures);
  • Added more fish that can be attracted by Dragonfly, Fly, Maggot, Red Worm, Wax Worms, Leech on Florida;
  • Improved efficiency of live bait and cutbait for sharks;
  • Added more Blue Marlin spawns on the deep waters.


Issues we are aware of right now:
  • The big "catchable" area of Florida requires more fish spawn points without dropping the performance and making loading times longer. This one is a complex task but we have an idea for it right now.
  • Gray snapper icon showing black drum in the encyclopedia
  • Hook prompt should have few options, so everyone can pick what they can

[h2]Important note about Hook Prompt[/h2]
Hook prompt information has 3 states:
  • Hook is too small
  • Hook is too big
  • Hook is proper

The "check" for hook/lure size is only in a radius of 50m. That means, the system is checking only fish 50m from the hook/lure:


But besides hook size/lure size, you need to remember that each lure and bait attracts different fish. So if no fish meets hook/lure requirements, you will get the "user" smaller/bigger hook prompt but besides the hook/lure size, there is also a BAIT/LURE type.

So if you are using for example a float with a big hook ex. #5/0 In the starting location, you will get a prompt about using smaller hooks as fish in that area, are not mostly not attracted by live bait or cutbait.

So you need to remember about picking proper bait for the area you are fishing. Big fish are spawned in 95% of areas accessible only by boat.

You can check the bait/lure-attracted fish list in each item section:


It is probably the last update today, as Christmas is starting and we would like to spend this 2-3 day with our families but you can always reach us on Discord and I will try to reply to you ASAP.

Game Update | 2.3.23.12:231

Changelog:
  • Add more fish spawn points in the starting locations & coastal locations
  • Fixed Atlantic tarpon


Hello everyone,
many of you told us that there is not enough fish at the starting location. With this update, you should instantly see way more fish just around the deck but the more fish we add in the starting location - the longer the loading time will be for the map. So this update will increase map loading some around 5 seconds.

Ex. Spawnpoints

We will work on improving this system more, we will also work today - so pray for us, so our wives don't kill us that we nerd in front of the PC instead of helping clean the house for Christmas ːlunar2019laughingpigː

In terms of fish not being displayed close to the "surface". All fish in Ultimate Fishing Simulator have a type of "depth" where they are spawned, etc. So each fish that lives in the bottom will be hard to spot with Hunter Vision. Florida starting location has a BIG deep hole just under the deck (pic rel):




So here is how you should see fish now there:



Thank you for sticking around and we wish you all a Merry Christmas.

Regards,
Ultimate Fishing Team
