Voodoo Fishin' news & patch notes

Ahoy Anglers!

We're back this week with a couple of new features and a few fixins... Let's get into it!

🐟 Ambient Fish

You’ll now spot fish swimming naturally throughout the water, adding a little extra life beneath the surface of the swamp. The fish you see in each area will represent the population there, and when the area is fished out, this effect will vanish as well.

🧊 Cooler Improvements

You've asked and we've delivered! You can now take items directly out of your cooler. While holding the Cooler press C (Gamepad Button North) to enter selection mode. We've also added a quick select with numbers 1-0.

We’ve also fixed controller navigation within the cooler grid, including the 4-slot, 8-slot, and 10-slot cooler upgrades. Moving between fish should now feel much smoother and more predictable.

🌊 Water’s Edge Improvements

We added new foam effects along the shoreline, helping the water blend more naturally with the muddy banks of the bayou.

🐢 Chum & Turtle Fixes

Fixed issues involving chum and turtles not being able to pass through the wormhole bucket

One last thing—we’re back on sale today at 10:00 AM PDT! 🎉

Voodoo Fishin’ will be 20% off for the next two weeks, so there’s never been a better time to gift the game and reel in a new fishin’ buddy—or three! 🎣

Thanks for continuing to send us your feedback and bug reports. We’ve got plenty more brewing beneath the surface! We're on track to add our Compass feature as well as Rod and Reel Enchantment in the next update.

See y’all on the docks!

Howdy, puppet anglers!

We’ve got a big ol’ update for y’all today! Our biggest since Early Access launch!

With this update, our main goal was to level up multiplayer progression, give crews more reasons to stick together, and make every fish you sell feel like it’s helping the whole dock. Let’s get into it.

New: Dock Quotas

The Dock Quota system brings a new layer of co-op progression to the swamp. Now every fish sold to the Fish Monger helps fill the shared Quota Meter.

Work together, fill that meter, and your whole crew will unlock mighty helpful session upgrades.

Cooler Upgrades

You’ll now start each run with a 4-slot cooler, but don’t worry, cher! Bigger coolers are waiting.

As your crew completes quotas, you’ll unlock 6-slot, 8-slot, and 10-slot coolers, letting everyone haul more fish before heading back to sell. This has been one of our most-requested features and we're happy to get it in your hands! (literally)

Chum Bucket

The new Chum Bucket lets you turn fish into chum, then toss that chum into the water to restock fishing areas.

Fished a spot dry? Toss in some chum and get that water bubbling again.

Fish Club

Some fish just don’t know when to quit fighting.

With the new Fish Club, you can help a fellow angler by giving their hooked fish a good whack. Stunned fish are easier to manage, and teamwork just got a whole lot funnier.

Swinging the Fish Club uses the same controls as casting, so get out there and bonk them fish for a buddy in need.

NOTE: These upgrades are in-session only. Once you leave the lobby, your cooler will reset.

Other Fixins

• ⚠️ Tutorial signage now auto-switches to controller icons when using a controller.

• 🎮 Text button sizing has been improved for Steam Deck.

• 🐢 Turtles can now be picked up and thrown. More ammo to launch at the skeeters!

• 🐟 Players can now have more than one thrown fish available for pickup.

• ⚽ Added more kits: Germany, France, England, and Canada.

• 🎣 Fishing line has been refactored to fix wild tessellation when other players cast.

• 🔄 Fixed an issue where player animations could get out of sync after host migration or when joining late.

As always, thank y’all so much for playing, reporting bugs, leaving reviews, and helping us shape Voodoo Fishin’ into the weird little swamp adventure it was always meant to be.

Now get out there and fill that quota.

See y’all on the docks!

— Blake, Brett, & Mark

Greetings, Puppet Anglers! 🎣

We’ve been hard at work cookin’ up the new Group Quota feature, but while that’s still simmerin’, we wanted to give y’all something fun for the weekend.

Today’s update adds a fresh batch of puppet parts and outfits:

• ⚽ Football uniforms for USA, Brazil, Korea, Japan, and Argentina for all you Messi fans out there.

• 🎉 Minuteman and Frontiersman outfits in celebration of America’s 250th birthday next week

• 🎩 New hats: Sombrero, Turban, Bowler, and a Caddie variant

• 🧐 Top Hat & Monocle reward for the To Valhalla Achievement

• 👑 King’s Crown reward for the Catch 10,000 Fish Achievement

• 🐟 Fish Hats for all Species Completionista Achievements

• 🧨 Taco rewards are now firecrackers for a little 4th of July swamp-boom celebration

Thank y’all so much for the continued support. Keep the feedback, bug reports, and swampy suggestions comin’.

We’ve got just over 3 months until we leave Early Access, and the schedule is jam-packed. Group Quotas, new enemies, rod and reel enchantments, more fish, more tackle, and plenty more are all coming down the pike.

Tight lines, Blake, Brett, & Mark

Ahoy Puppet Anglers! 🎣

It’s been a bit, but we’ve got a fresh update for your weekend fishin’ sesh: new puppet parts are here!

The base set of customization options has been expanded, giving y’all more ways to build your perfect swamp-struttin’ puppet right away.

We’re also starting to tie special puppet parts to Achievements. Some of these rewards are already in place, and we’ll be backfilling the rest over time so every Achievement has its own unique reward.

On the level-side: we spent some time fiddlin' with the area we'be been referring to as the Cultist Corridor. Yes, we're going to keep expandin' the swamp :)

Thanks again for all the support, bug reports, reviews, and spooky swamp energy. We’ve got plenty more cookin’.

Our next update should introduce y’all to Rusty Remy and his floating Junk Shop. Sell that Junk in your Cooler for a premium, or pick up what you need for those Recipes.

Hey Fishin’ Friends! 🎣

We’ve got a small but mighty update for y’all today! 🛠️🐊

📖 Journal Anywhere

This has been one of our most requested features, and we’re happy to finally get it in your hands.

You can now press J to open your Journal anywhere! 🎉📚

This took a bit more under-the-hood work than it probably sounds like, so thank you for being patient while we got it properly refactored. This also comes with a small tutorial update, so you’ll need to complete that before heading back into the swamp.

Phantom Wormhole Fix

We fixed an issue where the previous dock’s sound event could stick around after using the Wormhole Bucket. No more spooky leftover bucket sounds haunting your ears. Well, not those sounds anyway. 👻 Should make for an easier hunt :)

🇫🇷 French Localization Improvements

We’ve also updated various French text with improved translations. We’ll continue refining localization as we go, so thank you to everyone helping us make the swamp feel better in every language.

Thank you again for playing and supporting Voodoo Fishin’. We’ve got more cookin’ for the coming months, and we can’t wait to share it with y’all. 🐟🔥

Tight Lines! 🎣

Ahoy, fellow puppet anglers 🎣

We’ve been getting a lot of questions about Steam Deck compatibility, so here’s the latest.

🧪 Current Status

Voodoo Fishin’ is fully playable on Steam Deck and runs great.

We recommend using the default Balanced graphics settings for the best experience.

⚙️ Performance

• Smooth gameplay on Balanced settings

• No special setup required

• Works great out of the box

📌 About Verification

We’re not officially Steam Deck Verified yet.

Valve handles verification based on player interest and internal prioritization, so there’s no exact timeline for when that happens.

💬 Playing on Deck?

If you’ve been fishin’ from the couch or on the go, we’d love to hear how it’s treating you.

We’ll keep y’all posted as we move toward official verification.

Tight lines, cher 🎣

We’re back this week with a brand new feature: the Wormhole Bucket!

This little beauty is your ticket to gettin’ around the swamp a whole lot faster.

Here’s how it works:

Each session, TWO Wormhole Buckets will spawn somewhere out in the world. You’ll have to hunt them down first, but once you find them, you can pick them up and place them wherever you like.

Got a favorite fishin’ hole? Want a quick escape route when your cooler’s packed to the brim? Set those buckets up just right and poof!... you’re back at the Monger before the swamp knows what happened.

We can’t wait to see the clever spots y’all put these things. Note: This feature is not available in the Demo Tight Lines 🎣 P.S. Next week's update is a Journal change MANY of you have been asking for...

Thank y’all so much for all the feedback and bug reports. We’ve seen an amazing outpouring of support since our Early Access launch just over two weeks ago. This update brings in some of the most requested quality-of-life features y’all have been asking for:

• 🧰 New Tacklebox tutorial to help get y’all sorted out quicker

• 🔢 Multiples of Tackle now stack with a number, so your box should be a whole lot easier to read

• ✨ New sorting button by Rarity to help you find the good stuff faster

• 🌗 Brightness and Gamma settings are now available

• 🎮 Invert Y support added for both Controller and KBM

A little more polish, a little less rummagin’, and a better time out there on the swamp. Hope y’all are ready for some fun new features. Our next update should include something we’ve been itching to finish for a good while now. We won’t spill all the beans just yet, but let’s just say y’all will be getting a much faster way to move around the map. ✨ Tight Lines!

Howdy y'all! We're back with a fresh round of fixins:

• Green Mason nerf - lowered endurance

• More work on lobby crashes

• Less chance of rejoining a public match you just left

• Shadows turned off on Low Quality as a short-term bridge to help some players get going

• A message for when rebinds aren’t available before tutorial completion

• Better connection error messages

• Localization improvements

• Better retry logic for database connections

Thanks for sticking with us as we smooth out some of these bumps in EA. Our next patch should be a proper feature update that includes a Tacklebox tutorial, multiple item stacking in the Tacklebox, as well as a sort feature. Tight lInes!

A fresh batch of fixes just came out of the swamp:

• Collision fixes

• More work on crash fixes

• Audio adjustments: Turned up Skeeter, decreased volume for tutorial sign drop, crabs, enchanted decoy, Easter egg open

• Fixes for fishing line desync

• Localization updates across various locales

• Improved the ability for players in different regions to join the same lobby

Thanks for ridin’ through Early Access with us. Tight lines!

A few more hooks, fixes, and fishy adjustments rolled in today:

• Increased the spawn rates of a few Legendary Fish, including Banded Skipper, Miami Drug Runner, Slippery Lilly, Spitting Cinder, and Lil Sao Bento. These remain the rarest fish in the game.

• Portuguese localization has been improved

• Some improvements to Japanese and Russian localization

• Fixed an issue where unequipping a rod would not work on the first try in some situations

• Improved the rod flex animation so it’s easier to judge when your line is about to snap

• Fixed an issue where some temporary notifications were not dismissing properly

Thanks for ridin’ through Early Access with us while we keep tunin’ the bayou.

Another day, another swamp tune-up:

• Reduced the speed bonus on Fish near their max weight. This has felt a little off since adding controller support. The biggest fish should now be easier to catch.

• Korean localization has been improved across the board.

• Moved Sprocket Tooth spawn locations. Sorry, not sorry to the crew that was cheesin’ the Tooth.

We’re keepin’ the tweaks comin’, so keep the feedback flowin’. Tight lines!

A few more tweaks from the tacklebox, y’all. We made some localization fixes and took another pass at early progression and pricing.

• Fixed localization for Reset Account

• Updated Korean and Portuguese tutorial localization

• Lowered the price of the Katana Rod

• Slightly buffed the Clockwork Rod

• Lowered the price of the Garage Special

• Lowered the price of the Bamboozler

We’ll keep tuning progression, prices, and early game pacing as we go. Thanks for all the feedback and for helping us smooth out the swamp.

Just pushed a small balance patch that should help early progression feel a bit better.

We adjusted Rod and Reel pricing to smooth out the early game, and we’ll keep making changes like this in the coming weeks as we continue dialing progression in.

We’ve also got more stuff planned to help the overall climb feel better over time.

Well now, what a fine start to Early Access. Huge bayou thanks to everybody who’s been fishin’, reviewin’, reportin’ bugs, and hollerin’ feedback our way. We’ve hit some all-time highs this week, and for a little 3-person crew, that means the world. Y’all are helpin’ us tune this thing up right, and we’re gonna keep workin’ to make the swamp better with every patch. Patch Notes

Hey y’all, just a quick swamp-side heads up:

We’ve now patched the Voodoo Fishin’ Demo ahead of Early Access on March 31.
