GONE Fishing · build 24767294 · published

On SteamNotes only · this build shipped before we watched the app

Yoooo I got some quite exciting new content for yall. It has been a while, as my brother and I have been quite busy cooking recently. This is the first of two major patches, the second one is coming soon. Remember how I've been mentioning the final level and boss fight? Yeah…. Its going to be insane; my brother has been straight cooking with it.

Btw yumi, you better stop baiting me with these video titles, not cool man, not cool…..

NEW Season begins!

With the beginning of a new season, let us salute those who served well last season. Congrats to Hoodie Prophet for bagging the number one position. In case you are curious, the formula for score samples each fish in the game and takes into account the top 10 largest catches for each given species

Actually insane though, as a whole we had over 5 million unique catches this season... that's CRAZY

GONE FISHING HAS BOATS AGAIN

What you read is true… Boats are BACK.

After months of boat depression, I decided it was time to give the people what they want.

It was not an easy path, but boats are now fully replicated and even allow for item storage. This means that regardless of fps, ping, or any other factors, boat should be a smooth experience for all players in the server

  • Each map has its own respective boat

    • The Lake: Wooden Row Boat (the classic og boat that used to sink on first contact but holy moly were the clips so funny)

    • The Swamp: Airfan Boat

    • The Jungle: Rib Boat

    • The Canyon: White Water Rafting Boat

    • The Arctic: Large Fishing Vessel

  • Oh what’s that? You’re just gonna fish from the boat all day so you can be all safe and cozy?

    • If you decide it is wise to fish at night, the giant squid will make his presence known.

    • At first you will see some warning tentacles, this is your sign to park your boat and dip

  • If you decide to continue fishing, good luck chief

  • Boat Crashing

    • If you crash the boat, you will send anyone on the boat flying so drive with some self preservation

  • Item Storage

    • Boats now support item storage such as fish, beer, bait, etc…

    • Items can be stored by simply dropping them onto the boat.

    • There is an issue at the moment with ragdolls and boats so I would recommend not dropping any ragdolls on the boat unless you want to see absolute chaos

  • In the event that your boat gets stuck, there is an option to unstuck your boat at the bottom right of the escape menu

    • Any items that were on the boat should still be there

GONE Fishing Aquarium App

New Mythical Catch - Megalodon

  • Catchable only on The Canyons Map

  • Moby Rod Recommended

GONE Fishing has lore???

Yes… Yes it does. Lore has been on the back burner, but it has been in development for quite some time. The first of it is being added with this update. You will learn the first bit of lore with the plane crash scene when starting a new save. More in game lore coming very soon though.

The OWWF is watching you ;)

Added TNT Fishing

  • When TNT is lit in water, expect fish to rain (i cant figure out where i got this idea from its totally not been done before especially not by any very very popular game released very recently)

  • Be careful not to light tnt to close to your boat as not only do fish blow up but so can your boat

  • TNT now also lights other nearby tnt when exploded within a 8 meter radius

Changes

  • Reduced Spawn rate of Shark attack.

  • Reduced number of jump scare creatures

  • Made all boats around 30% faster than they used to be in the og days

  • Changed the ocean water on the jungle map to more resmeble intercoastal water rather than open ocean

  • The clock at the bottom right has been removed. It will become a purchasable upgrade in the next patch. After a lot of playtesting it was decided that the absence of a clock helps build tension and immersion in the game as players must pay more attention to the environment instead of some wack ui text on their screen

  • Fixed a bug where skeeter would use the tnt he gave you to try to kill you

  • Fixed a bug where skeeter would sometimes not play the correct animation when inspecting a fish

  • Fixed a bug where skeeter would spawn on day 1 or the first day of loading a save on the jungle map

  • FIxed a bug where the intro cutscene would play for a client when it was not supposed to

  • Lots and lots of other fixed that are lost to space and time as I did not write them down

very much looking forward to getting the rest of the new content out for yall, me and my brother are gonna take our time with it though as the ending is crucial and we want to make sure it is of exceptional quality (and bug free)

thank you for playing gone fishing

love you long time
