Fall update: Fish IQ, and the Codex, Too! Hey, friends! Welcome back to another Black Hole Fishing update! I've been releasing some smaller stealth updates over the past few months, but it's finally time to pull all those changes together and throw a big party! If you haven't pla
Changelog: There were a lot of small changes in this one, but here are the highlights: 1. Performance is increased. I see a 2X framerate improvement on my computer, but ymmv. 2. We added 3 save slots and gave the save system one more look-over. Auto-saves are easier to access now
Summer Update - What's new, and what's next? Hey, friends! I just wanted to share an update on Black Hole Fishing. It's been a little while (I got to learn about burnout 🙃), but I'm back and updating again. Here's what's new, and what's still coming: Do you hear that? Right befo
Changelog: Added FPS Limiter Added Bleach achievement to prevent confusion for new players (code is added, I will set up the actual achievement soon) Added more story beats on compression events Added 2 new animations for prestige and game won Fixed achievement triggering early E
Thank you everyone for an amazing launch! (and for 250 reviews)! So, Black Hole Fishing is my first game ever. I feel like the launch week was a bit rough (lots of bugs and issues right away), but in general, I am still happy with how things went! We managed to hit 1,500 concurre
Changelog: Fixed an issue from the last patch which causes some cards in the hand to be invisible under certain circumstances Multiple performance updates - frame rate is up to 3X lower :) Mainly targeted hatchery and fish scoring Notes: I'm hoping that this will be my last small
Changelog: Traits are now in 2 columns in the fish card. Fish cards grow on hover so they are easier to read. Fish card text is slightly larger as well. Misc. performance improvements and bug fixes (sorry, I forgot what I put in here...) The eye trait regression has been fixed. N
Changelog: Cleaned up some UI elements, more clarity in the Fish Lab Made quick scan 3X faster when scanning consecutive already-unlocked cards Performance improvements in the late-game (more to come) Added another cannon upgrade to make sardinos less scarce Note: There is an unl
The last hotfix caused eye color traits to disappear in some circumstances. This has been fixed. In other words, I made an eye patch XD. (I finally got some sleep now, so expect the quality of the jokes to drop going forwards) Note: Thank you everyone for the feedback this week.
Changelog: Fix multiple display issues Currency patch - all numbers should display correctly now Prevent tool-tips from spawning as sub-windows (was causing FPS monitor to snap to the tool-tip) Hatchery navigation fixed - broken in hotfix 4 Add tool-tip descriptions in a few plac
Changelog: I was able to confirm that one of the achievements still wasn't firing after the last patch. That is fixed now. I also added some extra checks when loading a save. Income indicators on the black hole are reporting correctly for very large sums. Note: Thank you everyone
Changelog: Fixed fish freezing in expeditions after timer expires Added extra safeguards when loading a save. Auto-saving is more reliable and slightly less frequent. If a save fails, all saves and auto-saves will be copied to a new folder before attempting to load or recover. Ha
Patch 1 introduced lag in a couple of areas. This should be fixed. Also, I reduced the Hatchery trait limit back to the intended design (4 max per fish, so it matters which ones you choose). I like the idea of expanding this in the future, but I want to make sure that any exploit
Patch notes: Fixed mass stall around 2 billion Fixed currency rollover issue (partial fix) Corrected a few invalid costs (stocker price drops) Fixed speed scanner prestige upgrade Some achievements were firing conditionally based on how you moved cards (clicking vs dragging) Hey
