We know you've been waiting a while for this fishing update. "There are only a few fish," "the UI gets cut off" — we've read every single piece of feedback you've left in the community.Since we did a foundational overhaul for the combat system last time, we decided to take the exact same approach for fishing: tearing down the old system and rebuilding it from scratch, rather than just patching things up.
📌 This update focuses on Lake and River only. The Ocean is still deep in development — we wanted to get the "one fish, one track" system fully cooked in two waters first, before rolling it out everywhere.
Let's dive into the core of this update! 🫧
11 new friends have jumped into the ecosystem! Each fish has specific weather, time-of-day, and water depth conditions — your Fish Encyclopedia is waiting to be filled:
Regular Fish: Carp, Flowerhorn, Crab, Turtle, Shrimp, Crawfish
Lake Sovereign: 👑 Alligator Gar (Only appears in deep water on non-sunny late nights)
Regular Fish: Asian Arowana, Catfish, Sturgeon
River Monarch: 👑 Taimen (Only appears in deep water on non-sunny days)
Upgraded Judgment: Introduced a four-tier judgment system (Perfect / Great / Good / Miss). Every tug on the rod now has clear, satisfying feedback!
Redrawn Art: The fishing UI, background ripples, fish shadows, and rod tension animations have all been completely redesigned and redrawn.
This is the secret we are most excited about in this rework — Each body of water has its own exclusive theme song, and every regular fish corresponds to a specific instrument track within that song.
・Goldfish = Bass Guitar
・Shrimp = Drum Kit
・Carp = Chord Electric Guitar
・Crawfish = Lead Electric Guitar
・Crab = Electric Piano Chords
・Flowerhorn = Synth Lead
・Turtle = Synth Pad Horn
・Loach = Bass Synth
・Koi = Drum Kit (R&B Lo-Fi)
・Bass = Flanger Rhythm Guitar
・Catfish = Plucked Rhythm Guitar
・Arowana = Electric Piano Lo-Fi
・Sturgeon = Synth Bell
Every time you catch a fish, you unlock its corresponding instrument track for that song. And the moment you finally hook the 👑 Fish King — its rhythm chart is the complete, full-mix ensemble of all the instrument tracks you've collected so far!You thought you were just fishing? You’ve actually been assembling a song this whole time 🎵 The Lake has its theme, and the River has its theme. Experience the complete, beautiful masterpiece during your ultimate showdown with the Fish King.
"The fishing UI gets cut off when casting from the edge." — We completely rewrote the UI positioning logic. Now, no matter where you stand on the pier or riverbank, the fishing interface will always be perfectly centered on your screen.
🧋 Useful Items: Coconut Jelly, Herbal Jelly, Popping Boba, Twigs
💎 Mysterious Treasures: Pearls, Ancient Coins
🌿 Other Finds: Water Grass, Driftwood
🤣 Unexpected "Catches": Empty cans, old boots, plastic bags... (Don't be surprised, you'll actually hook these sometimes)
Honestly, this fishing rework wasn't as "do-or-die" as the combat overhaul. But we still chose to slow down and do it properly with a "serious" upgrade.We want you to feel the changing weather and the distinct personality of each fish, all while piecing together the song of the waters layer by layer with every cast. We firmly believe a great fishing system deserves its own unique melodies and character-filled fish, rather than just being a repetitive, few-second QTE loop.Thank you all for your patience 💖 Head over to the pier — your new friends, and their melodies, are already waiting for you in the water~
