Nordic Lake Demo Patch 9th September 2026

On Steam

Thank you all for trying out the Demo ahead of Next Fest. So far we have gotten a healthy number of players, and thanks to all who have wishlisted the game!

I feel very honored to have this many people give the demo a try!

This is a short rundown of most balance changes, thank you for StormPE for great suggestions in the discussions! This should result in a better and more balanced demo experience.

Changes

  • Predators prefer larger creatures, making for a more balanced game

  • Perch can hunt juvenile perch, making Ruffe able to have healthier populations

  • Cormorant balance tweaks

  • Starwort re-balanced

  • Plant nutrient consumption rebalanced

  • Fish should steer away from potential predators slightly more than before

  • Reduced Zander max size slightly

  • Made the min cover threshold for fish above Ruffe, so Ruffe will stick in the cover and survive better

  • Entering cover will allow fish a higher chance to escape predators

  • Updates to tutorial related to cover, cover also now visible when dragging plants
