Fishing Grind news & patch notes

I completely remade the save system so unfortunately some of your data will be lost but most of it should be fine.

The development of this update was a bit of a mess. It was on and off throughout the last year and I didn't write down every change I made. This is however the bulk of it, so... I hope that's sufficient.

There is also supposed to be a threat in the new map but there currently isn't. I have one for it that's almost done but it has some game-breaking bugs and I need more time to work on it.

New Update for "Fishing Grind" 0.3.8

Hey everyone! Here is a small update for you all. I have been busy with life stuff, so the update is not very big. However, I am now on my retention arc and so updates might be more frequent. In all seriousness though, I did a lot of code reworking in this update to hopefully make development easier and bugs less common. Part two of the update is now in development and might come out within the next 8 months.
