ROGUEFISH Playtest · published · build 23736698
Fishing trips can now be sent to 4 different isles that have different fish to catch, materials to loot, elites to battle, bosses to defeat and modifiers that spice up your trips.
A suite of statistical models have been developed to algorithmically calculate new balance changes. Nearly every number has been tweaked.
24 relics have been reworked or added to make relics feel more interesting and impactful. This includes new status effects, bonuses for eating cooked fish, and even a way to make chests permanently free.
New ranged enemies and powerful elite versions of enemies have been added that charge at your ship, explode when defeated, and do other things... Have fun with that!
The skies of ROGUEFISH are alive! Animated clouds, a real sun, and twinkling stars all change dynamically throughout your fishing trips!
