Hey, Remember when, 20 days ago, I casually mentioned that About Fishing crossed 100,000 wishlists? When I posted that I thought - yeah, this is it. I have all the wishlists I need! (Especially when I think about how three years ago, right before Arctic Eggs came out, that number was 12,000 and I was sweating about it) Well. Someone has to hold my hand while I say this, but... About Fishing has…
Hey, this is going to be a short news, but I just can't hold it. WOW Thank you. I mean it. Every single one of you. You have no idea what seeing a reception like this does to the person. Thank you for your trust, your support, and for believing in this project. And most importantly - none of this would have happened without all the talented people who have contributed to the project so far: Ang…
Small patch for the About Fishing Demo just dropped. Thank you for all the reports 🙏 Here's what's been fixed: · Fish duplication glitch in the aquarium - some of you figured out you could trigger this by clicking left and right mouse button at the same time. We see you · The eel no longer has a small chance to freeze when you first encounter him · Crank lure camera no longer glitches out · Cr…
Small patch for the About Fishing Demo just dropped. Thank you for all the reports 🙏 Here's what's been fixed: · The fillet station now tells you where to put the knife the first time you use it - some of you mentioned being locked out of content because of this, so this should sort it · You can now use your old playtest save file and continue your progress in the demo 💪 · Improved aquarium b…
If you're here for the About Fishing Demo - thank you. Seriously, it means the world. Two rounds of playtests, 45,334 of you showed up . And from over 4,000 filled out feedback forms , I've been constantly improving this project. This demo is hopefully another proof of that 🤞 We made you a demo. It's out right now, it'll take about 40-60 minutes to finish, and I'd love to know what you think o…
Hey, It's here. Playtest 2.0 is out right now and I'd love for you to try it - even if you already played the first one. (Actually, especially if you already played the first one.) And if that didn't convince you, I'm sure this trailer will. Here's what's in Playtest 2.0 The biggest change is the one I teased in the last dev blog - casting. It's physics-based now. I rebuilt it from the ground u…
Hey, First things first - I just want to say thank you for joining the playtest. 25,327 of you showed up to the playtest. You sent 7,895 invites to your friends - which, by the way, is insane. And 1,728 of you went the extra mile and filled out the feedback form. Those people have a special place in my heart. Now, how about some stats? 96.8% of you rated the playtest experience as positive. 96.…
Hey, Kevin (The Water Museum) here. So, this game spent over a year sitting in my folders as “Untitled Fishing Game” or at least that’s what it looked like. The truth is… it actually had a name for quite a while. I just held onto it until it felt like the right moment to show it. (proof at the end of this post) Anyway, About Fishing finally showed up in the PC Gaming Show today, which still fee…
