New last-stand map "JAWS"

The new last-stand map "JAWS" is now live. Don't stay in water for too long, and watch out for sharks!

Winter Ice-Fishing

Snow's falling again. Some unfamiliar fish seem to have shown up near the Winter Cabin.

Don't forget to check the weather before heading out!

Behind the nearby forest, an ice hole has been opened. Let's try out the new rods there!

Fishing alone doesn't have to be so lonely, so bring a radio along.

It seems an Aquarium has been built somewhere, but where exactly...?

New Gestures

A bunch of new Gestures are now available in the Item Shop, unlocked with Cookies. Check them out now!

X-mas Outfits

Seven brand-new X-mas themed outfits are arriving soon in the Item Shop, and X-mas outfits priced in Nemo Bucks will be 50% off when gifted to friends. Past X-mas outfits will also return later in batches. Stay tuned! (Check the images for exact dates)

Feature Updates

  1. In Winter Cabin:

    1. Added new fishing spot "Ice Hole."

    2. Added weather system.

    3. Added interactable item "Radio."

    4. Added new area "Aquarium."

    5. Added support for fishing while sitting.

    6. Added support to switch the current fishing rod in Tackle Box.

    7. Added support to "Lock" specific fish in the Bucket. Locked fish are kept when selling all fish.

    8. Restored snowball fights and sled pulling.

    9. Adjusted the order of entries in the fishing journal.

  2. Enabled map selection in Custom Game under "WHAT IF? Mode".

  3. Recategorized "WHAT IF? Mode" and "SMASH Mode" as "Last Stand" when creating Custom Game lobbies (previously listed under "The Lab"), and reclassified maps previously under "Last Stand" as "Last Stand Classic."

  4. Added a "sync gestures" feature. Players using the same gesture within a certain distance can sync their gestures. (Only some gestures are supported)

Optimizations

  1. Added a pity system in Winter Cabin - Fishing:

    • This system makes it easier to receive reasonable returns after long fishing sessions.

    • With this adjustment, the overall drop rate of high-quality fish is expected to increase slightly.

  2. Optimized XP rewards in Winter Cabin: XP is now granted immediately after completing board games or successfully selling fish, while the podium phase no longer grants XP and is kept for photo-taking only.

  3. Optimized the lobby settings in Custom Game by showing different options based on the selected mode.

  4. Added support for selecting microphone input devices in Settings - Audio.

  5. Added an "AI Noise-Cancelling" toggle under Settings - Sound (Previously toggled on by default. This setting is only supported on Windows).

  6. Added a list of players who contributed to translation and testing in Settings - General - Special Thanks.

  7. Added support to directly use newly unlocked achievement outfits or level-up outfits in the next game within the current lobby.
