- Game Update | 1.25.05.30:4047 - 31 May 2025
Drag System - Core Update We've overhauled the fishing drag system and how equipment handles overload during fights: The fish now pulls the line only when the pulling force exceeds the reel's brake setting, calculated as MaxKgReel * Drag. Previously, line tension was triggered as long as the drag was set below 100%, without considering the reel’s actual strength in kilograms. Equipment damage has also been improved: now, the weakest component (rod, reel, or line) will always break first. Previously, if two or more parts were overloaded simultaneously, one of them could fail, regardless of its strength rating. We've also updated the calculation of rod bending force. Just like with damage, it now respects the reel’s true strength (MaxKgReel * Drag), not just a percentage-based drag factor. This should result in more realistic and skill-based fishing mechanics. As always, we tested this on…

- [Pre-Release Notes] Alaska, Dynamic Waves and more - 2 May 2025
Hello Everyone, We are finishing a new update that should be out next week. It will include New Map: Alaska (river, lake + new fish species).

Tweaks in trophy lodges, weather, and underwater will be more transparent on all maps. The update will be out next week. Alaska Level required: 18 Alaska is famous for its rivers filled with salmon, but there is much more to explore here.

- Upcoming update - New residence, fish growth - 11 April 2025
Hello, Just a few words to say that we are still fixing the bugs for you, and the update will be released in a few days, together with a new residence preview and fish growth system. Residence will be now placed on the map, you will be able to catch bluegill and pumpkinseed. The building is bigger, different, and modular, so with bigger fish, we will be able to make it larger. We have one other idea for big fish like sharks, sturgeon,s but for no,w its just an idea in our heads. Some of you pointed out that not enough big fish are spawning on the map, so we came up with the idea to bring to life our previous idea a bout fish growth. The system will still spawn fish randomly when you enter the map, but fish in your area will grow up till they reach max weight. After they reach it, they will be alive for a while, then they DIE, and new fish with random weight is spawned, and the cycle rep…

A bit of a comedy, but we managed to tame the stamina system. We are eager to hear your thoughts. It's up to adjusting, so if something is too easy/too hard, we now have an easy way to adjust that.

Disabled immediate fish pickup when their stamina is above zero (previously, if a fish attacked the lure close to the player, it could be picked up instantly). Fixed various null reference issues. Fixed white cubes appearing near the hook. Fixed the fish pickup indicator appearing in the catch panel. Regarding Fisher Online There was a case between our games.
