Hey Fools! Developer Dan is here to bring what you’ve all been waiting for: A first look at the new Fish & Ships update!
We’d originally planned to release Fish & Ships this month, but we’ve needed more time to bring everything together. We can tell you that we’re working through testing and console porting and will be releasing early November. We apologize for this delay and are doing everything we can to make sure you get your hands on this amazing new content as soon as possible. To help with the extended wait for the update, here’s a quick overview of what to expect!
This update not only introduces exciting new game content but also brings significant improvements in performance. We are thrilled to announce that we've made substantial enhancements in both the game's memory management and loading times, resulting in a smoother and more enjoyable gameplay experience!
First of all, in this new Ship of Fools chapter, you’ll notice an unusual-looking bell that seems to do nothing (at first) near the dock. You can still spam-ring it to tell your shipmate that their cannon selection time is over and it’s GO TIME!
You’ll then soon be introduced to your new gooey and tentacley best friend Otto!
Otto is a “Reverse Kraken”. And now I hear you say: “Ye scurvy dog! What in Neptune's name be that?" (I know you all start speaking like an old seafarer while playing Ship of fools). In fact, a reverse kraken does the opposite of what a regular kraken should! Instead of sinking ships, Otto builds some! Is he related to Tentacles Shadow of the Undergrowth? Who knows…
The new ships from Otto will not only look awesome, but will also introduce fresh new ways of playing the game. Each ship comes with its own unique ammunition, artifact and set of challenges that will drastically change decision making during a game. Otto will let you select the ship you want at the beginning of every run, if you’ve met the conditions for unlocking them. You’ll also have tons of new items to unlock while using each ship.
Alongside the Fish and Ships update, we will also be releasing the second Pack of Fools: The Water Garden Duo! We won’t be saying too much about them yet, but please start spreading theories and fake news on what their abilities could be.
The exact release date of this update will be announced in the upcoming weeks. This date will also see the release of the Water Garden Duo as well as a new “Aquapocalypse Edition” that includes all the DLC alongside the OST (OST available on Steam only). Thank you all for your patience, we can’t wait to see what you think!
