Hello fishers.

This is the update note for this update

I was gonna tag this as regular update but I don't think there are enough new content to warrant that since it's mostly adjustment and minor additions. anyway onto the update.

Due to several demands I’ve added a controller support. Now you can use a controller such as Dualshock in the game.

The controller did work before but they are quite lacking. so in this small update I decided to finally make controller support actually work fully. It can now navigate all menus in the game.

noted that even with controller support, fishing will still be significantly harder to do with a mouse due to lack of precision. but it is still playable. In the setting Fishing Controller mode will have a Smooth option to make aiming when fishing more smoother. (Smooth option is on by default)

If you have suggestion to make controller more easier to play with you can do so at my Discord server or just in Steam discussion

There is also a setting related to mouse control Fishing Mouse mode : Constraint , This will force the mouse to be near the fishing circle (or beat catcher). This is useful to make sure the mouse did not move too far away.

An RELAX attachment has been added. This type of attachment is meant to make a game easier. This game is designed to be challenging but I do understand that there are people who may find the game’s difficulty frustrating. so RELAX attachment can make the experience more smoother. You can still experience the whole game with this but fish quality rank will not go beyond B rank. You can pick up the attachment at the The lake - outer area, it’s the first area in the game.

Another thing is that I added a localization for Thai language. Why Thai? It's because I can speak Thai and I need to add features to change language later in case I want to localize more languages in the future so it's convenient to use the language I already knew.

Also the Godot game engine that used to make this game is updated to version 4.6. This should not affect any normal player or but I felt like mentioning it just in case.

Alright that’s all for this update. sorry if this update took a long time despite it's lack of actual content. in the past months I was dealing with technical stuff related to localization.

the next update there will be actual new content. Thank you for your patience.

Hello everyone!,

Here's the workshop update! (Game version must be 0.4.5)

The custom fish feature is now available! took me a bit longer to make than expected.

the custom fish features is now available! You can download custom fish made by other player from Steam workshop. And of course if you want to make your own fish there is a fish chart editor for you to use!

You can access custom fish features on the laptop in the (recently named)HOME area.

There’s a new thing in the Home area. An Aquarium!

This will allow players to showcase their favorite fish that they caught. You can only put a few fish in here though. And despite being in the same update as the custom fish update. You can’t put custom fish in here.

There are also 3 new cosmetic

Some fish now let you unlock new cosmetics in the shop through resonance levels.

Now of course you would need more pearls to trade for them so I added a few more pearls to pick up in the area and rare fish will now drop a pearl upon catch.

If you encounter any bugs or glitches please report them at

Chavafei Discord server
Form

This isn’t much of an update for the actual game. I apologize.

But I assure you that I’ll be working on the actual new content soon.

That’s all, Have fun everyone!
