- 【Update Notes】We've adjusted many gameplay elements! - 1 July 2025
Thank you all for your amazing feedback during the Steam Next Fest! After going through everyone's comments, we found that most of the problems stem from one central issue: “the game isn’t idle enough.” So we went back to the drawing board, redesigned, and polished a lot of core systems to ensure you can enjoy a more relaxing, fishy experience. Here’s what’s new in this update:Fixes & Adjustments： Village Construction ModuleMany players said the village-building experience demanded too much attention — needing to wait for the right cards while also fearing villagers might deplete planned tiles, invalidating layout bonuses. So we've made the following changes:Construction has been removed from the deck and moved to a dedicated building UI.Basic buildings and environments now use unified shapes, no longer consuming special card art (rare/special buildings will retain unique visuals).Villa…

Why is there no language support besides Simplified Chinese?Before releasing the Demo, we reviewed our own localization and realized… there were way too many mistranslations, missing lines, and awkward expressions that would have completely ruined the first impression for non-Chinese players. So to ensure a decent first experience, we temporarily disabled other languages.Once the game’s full script stabilizes, we’ll be redoing t…
