Hey friends!

We just pushed our first post-launch patch.

First off, I want to apologize for the delays on the Day 1 patch. I had all of the changes ready 12 hours ago, but I couldn't get the game to launch (any version, including the released version). After way too many hours of troubleshooting, I discovered that the fans were no longer spinning on my graphics card. That would do it ːsteamfacepalmː

Anyways, we are back up and limping, so I was able to get a few major issues pushed. I'm going to try to do smaller, more frequent patches going forwards so I don't get stuck pushing a large batch of changes.

There are a few major issues remaining which I am looking at now.
1. One, the Hatchery allows you to bypass the 4 trait per fish limit that I intended. This is making most of the late-game trivial, which was not my intention. The goal was for the money economy to top out around $1T, so all costs were balanced around that range.
2. One of the Steam achievement issues has been fixed, but there is still a problem where achievements don't re-trigger if the Steam API misses it the first time. This means that some players can't get some achievements for arbitrary reasons.
3. There isn't nearly enough text/tutorial/tooltips, and some of the UI is still a bit weird/unintuitive.

I'll get back to work, and I hope to have the next patch out in much less than 24 hours :)

Thank you all for the overwhelming response, this has been an amazing launch (despite the bugs and hiccups)

Black Hole FishingGame update2 Sep 2026Performance patch and bugfixing (V 1.0.4.8)Changelog: There were a lot of small changes in this one, but here are the highlights: 1. Performance is increased.
