Hello everyone
it's been a while since we delivered anything for Ultimate Fishing Simulator 1 and here we are today! :)

[h2]Taupo Lake[/h2]
So most of you will think it's just "another" DLC but it's not! But first things first - Taupo Lake DLC is out now and you can get it with -a 15% discount for the first 7 days (in bundle probably an even higher discount). Taupo Lake VR DLC will be released a bit later but VR should work on Taupo good (need to be tested).

This DLC is a bit different from than previous ones. We implemented new fish species and new 3D models for old fish species (ex. Rainbow trout, Koi Carp).



As we didn't want to mess with the whole game - new models are available SO FAR only at Taupo Lake. Based on the player's (you're) feedback if you will like them we will replace old models on all maps.

On Taupo, there is also a new boat with boosted speed so you should be able to roam faster around the map.

[h2]Fixes/Changes[/h2]
So as we promised today we are dropping a few small updates in the code, some of them are available right now in the whole game, and some only at Taupo as they are experimental and could mess whole game.

So here is the list. Experimental updates only on Taupo.

• First changes in fish roaming around waterbodies (should fix dead spots)[on Taupo fish roaming for the experimental purpose was boosted up even more)
  
• First changes in the amount of fish being spawned (boosted up on Taupo)
  
• Experimental: Changed fish bite logic
  

In terms of fish amount, especially in Taupo - if you will experience FPS droop it may be caused by the high number of fish being spawned, please inform us where you experience this problem.

If you will experience any problems IN BASE GAME - please report them and we will try to fix everything ASAP.

Thank you everyone for your support! And we are already working on some things you have reported for the last two days!

Hello everyone,
it was almost 2 years since the last update and today I come with great news, hope you are all excited.

[h3]New developer[/h3]
We are reading all your posts and checking the community almost on daily basis. We really were struggling with a lot of demands from your side and we couldn't fulfill your requests. So we did some paperwork and here we are today! Announcing more support, content and QOL updates!

For over one month now we have been learning together with new developers the game which we took over after the great Bit Golem (good job Hubert!).

So welcome on board 3T Labs and Pancake Games. We will be working together on the next updates, fixes and DLC's.

[h3]Quality of Life (QoL) updates and new DLC[/h3]
Learning a project after other developers is a pretty hard job. You probably think "it's like jumping into someone else t-shirt", believe me - it's not ːsteamsadː

So we are discovering every secret place in the code, how gameplay mechanics work, fish models, maps, and more.

Our first task was to check the project and fix minor bugs that we could find, then we wanted to show you some results of our work, so we decided to prepare a DLC.

We created a fishery based on New Zealand - Taupo Lake and Tongariro River Delta. And I can already tell you that is a pretty big map. We put there completely new fish species and... (wait for it) re-done old fish species like brown trout, rainbow trout, koi carp and more! Taupo Lake DLC will be out on August 22, 2022 19:00 CEST.

But here is a thing - we are testing it on our side and still learning the project, so there will be no separate VR DLC tomorrow. We will release it a bit later to DOUBLE-CHECK if everything works.

The same comes with bugs and some in-game features. No one will test it better than you - players. We fixed more than 30 bugs with this DLC but still, we could miss some of them. So we would like to ask you to write down every problem that will occur in the game after tomorrow's update. We promise to FIX EVERYTHING as fast as we will be able to. Please post all your feedback here:

[h3]Future of the game[/h3]
We would like to push in the future more QoL updates including some important fixes like the old annoying reeling sound!

But wait? Only so small things? No way!

Yea, you are right. No one knows better about this game than you - Players! So we will run surveys where you will be able to request new features, inform us about the most annoying things or choose locations for future DLCs.

So watch out for steam forums and the news section! We will post soon first survey there, so keep an eye on it!

Thank you for your time. We are back on track with Ultimate Fishing Simulator 1 and we will do our best to work close with you - the Community,
