- Fisherman's Island, Major Update - 16 October 2024
Hello everyone! The next update of Fisherman's Island is about to arrive. We are in the testing and debugging phase, so we still have a few weeks to go! Our last message was in February, where we detailed the new sprint and fatigue mechanics. These mechanics are still in place, but the user interfaces have been updated since then. Please refer to this post to learn more about these mechanics! Please note that the 2024 roadmap is no longer valid and is completely outdated, as the development goals and especially the publication schedules have changed. The 2025 roadmap will be much more realistic in terms of updates. The release of the next update will also mark the beginning of a new era for the development of Fisherman's Island: more updates, but of smaller sizes. This means that starting with the release of version a1.1.0, we will continue to develop large updates, but smaller updates…
