New game launcher & Cheatmod
For now you will be asked whether you want to launch the game old way or with the launcher.
As we're slowly adding modding and extensions support, the launcher comes with simple solution to DLL modding. The launcher is also targeting .Net4.8 so required framework will be automatically downloaded and installed if missing.
Cheatmod
Cheats as used to be in game are now only enabled with the cheatmod, as to prevent accidentally using them and then not being able to finish achievements.
Cheats currently in game are:
- L + I = add points
- L + U = level up / fill stomach in survival mode
- D + X = kill self
- F4 = ON/OFF - AI takes control over your fish ( we've been using this to debug behaviors, but then it's quite useful or fun to play with )
Modding - current state
Currently modded DLLs can be placed into custom folder inside the "/Mods/" folder located in the games local files.
Those with "Assembly-CSharp.dll" (if checked) will temporary rewrite "/Feed and Grow_Data/ManagedAssembly-CSharp.dll" with the one inside the mod folder, and so the game will be launched with that dll.
In close future we will be adding content modding via Unity Assetbundles downloaded by steam workshop. So far we're planning to implement custom maps, scenarios, fish and their skins.
A complete guide to creating mods (DLL and Content) with examples will be published as soon as steam workshop gets turned on.Thanks,
As always, looking forward to next update! - Developer post

Hatch & Fight for your survival in Coral reef
Do you have what it takes to survive in the reef? Remember if you start small don't think too big. As you'll always be in sight of those who are waiting for you to make the wrong move. Keep up your endurance and distance form others. Find crevices, yet be aware of eels, to protect your offspring. Of course unless you're at top of the food chain.

Update 0.13
In today's update, we're coming out with first steps into Coral Reef map ( previously called Ocean map ). Which we are transforming into survival friendly form. Additionally after months of hard work with our pals Grand Beats we're proud to show off first major step towards new amazing music and sound effects.
Jump-in and let us know what do you think!
Coral Reef map changes
One of the biggest challenges towards Survival mode was the overall ecosystem of the Reef map. Over time we filled it with a lot of different species that had no / very little participation in the overall food chain.
Some were removed some added, so far. Yet the kind of the ocean keeps it's throne.
- Dunkleosteus - removed
- three new Parrotfish - added ( so far they only differ randomly in coloration )
- Blue Tang and new three Tang fish - added
- Butterfly fish - added
- Cuttlefish - added
- Small destroy-able mollusk-like food - removed
- Sea urchin - added ( deals damage on contact ! )
- New animated light
Onward to the better, yet keeping the old feeling, we've updated the behavior of the most predators in the Reef map. This includes Moray eel, Grouper goliath, Barracudas and both Tiger and Hammerhead sharks. The main problem we've been facing was to create a focused role for each kind of fish. Eels correctly hide in crevices. Sharks seek and target meaty prey. Barracudas collectively strike upon smaller schools of fish.
Did you know? Bibos was originally meant to be the single-one Big-Boss of the map. However that shark eventually took over that role, as he had better resolution model :D.
- Goliath - new model & better stats
- Hammerhead - new model & better stats
New Audio
Finally first audio rework is here! All thanks to amazing work by the Grand Beats who did all the work on music composition and sound effects. The best thing is there's more to come!
- After this update audio settings will be reset to 75%
Big shout out for them and their amazing work!
Other changes & bug fixes
- New lighting and animations in Fish select, you can now rotate and zoom on to fish model by holding LMB and moving the cursor / scrolling with MMB
- Increased the power of Brightness slider setting in Graphics by 3 times
- Fixed / adjusted random fish movement, that caused some very active fish to shake when idling or resting
- FIxed a bug where King crab and his countless army would attack their own spawned eggs
- Fixed crabs movement bugs when ragdolls were ON
- Fixed mantis shrimp walk / swim bugs when ragdolls were ON
- Reduced mantis shrimp damage by -66% and adjusted his attacking behavior
That's all for today, have fun,
looking forward to next Update! - Developer post

Are you prepared to face what it takes to survive in the Swamp?
Hatch, eat, grow and secure bright future for your offspring. Sounds easy? Take a look at what can get into your way! As the swamp water levels always change you are put in front of annoying competitors, hungry predators and tempting rewards. Observe your environment and take advantages of it.
Survival changes
Digestion & Healing processes in survival mode have been changed to appear earlier and slow down when your fish is moving. AI will no longer gain experience instantly after eating, instead attempt to rest and digest the food.Dead-match
Since many of you have ask for this feature, coins gained in dead-match mode will now be saved with upper limit of 1000 per map. The limit is added so the gameplay won't lose the risk/gain element.
- note that this won't work after using cheats
Other changes
- Re-balanced Snakehead damage and attack speed, added Rage passive
- Changed Arowana hunting behavior to prefer eating babies
- Changed Catfish hunting behavior to prefer large fish
- Wachuma has been removed
- Ubur has been removed
- Raptors in swamp are enabled only in Dead-match mode
- Bottom dwellers ( Carp and Sturgeon ) have new passive ability that helps them to find hidden food
- Pikes in swamp got transformed into Muskellunge
- Scared fish AI now uses sprint only if a predator is facing its way.
- Added new option to toggle VSync on/off into Video settings, by default it is turned on
Thanks,
as always, looking forward up to next update! - Developer post

Survival game mode
From now on you'll have to play through three different fish life-cycles, completing all tasks you have been given will unlock a Star based on the difficulty you have chosen. ( Easy = Bronze, Normal = Silver, Hard = Gold ) Each star will permanently unlock species for each tier.
Mating & Eggs laying
After mating you can't gain experience, any gathered experience is used to develop eggs. Once the eggs are fully developed you can continue
leveling up. Hatch delay after laying has been increased to 60seconds.
-
Hunger & Condition
- Hunger no longer affects your stamina regeneration
- Hunger bar is now always visible next to stamina
- Eating now gives only 1/3 of experience
- You can't eat if you're full ( > 95% stomach )
- If you're above 75% of your stomach ( bar will turn white ), you can rest (don't move for few seconds) to digest. This will reduce your stomach content to 50% and either give you the remaining 2/3 of experience or refill your condition. (prioritizes Condition)
- New: Condition (next to HP), acts as healing reserve and slowly degrades over time
- You can't heal just from eating. Resting will start to consume your Condition, healing you in the process.
-
AI
- New obstacle avoidance for fish, fish should no longer get stuck trying to get out of water when scared
- Now sees vegetation as obstacle, therefore you can now hide in grass
- Now randomly looks for food in longer distance instead of just static radius
- Raptor hunting behavior has changed to utilize Ambush
- In survival mode if fish falls below 20% hunger it will abandon it's fish group and search for food alone
- In survival mode if fish falls below 20% hunger it may try to attack and eat anything as desperate move
-
CAMERA
- Added new water level anti-clipping, so camera will not get inside your model when looking down
- Added new terrain anti-clipping, so camera will try to position itself correctly in narrow space
- New auto-spectating controller, (LMB) to switch to a random creature, (RMB) to gain full control
- After death the controller will spectate last creature that damaged you
-
Other major changes
- New on bite scales ripping FX
- Some species now have slightly shifted HSV on their materials per individual fish
- Increased accuracy on player/terrain collision detection so your fish can no longer bypass terrain in high speed
- Taking more than third of your max. HP will critically wound you for 5 seconds
- New "move" "tail slap" has been added to most fish, it can be activated by double pressing shift. Has a chance to break bite and stun anything holding on you from behind. Chance is higher the smaller they are than you.
- The force needed to break a bite joint now scales with fish size and it's mouth type ( small fish won't be able to just bite on bigger fish and ride it ) ( strongest: teeth, claws, weakest: beak )
- Reduced duration of Electric eel shock stun, also fixed a bug where it would shock you even if dead.
- Swamp lurker has unfortunately went extinct in Swamp.
Aligator gar
BlueGills
Carp & Sturgeon
Snakehead - new model
Catfish - new model
Pike - new model
Perch - new model
Sorry for the late update, we've been refactoring the game code and that took us way more time than we expected to get the game running again without many game-breaking bugs. The refactoring was mainly aimed to get the game running at better frame-rate and with fewer crashes.
Now that's done and we get back to work on content, we'd like to ask you for suggestions on Passive / Active abilities for species that don't have any. For example the Carp and Sturgeon have only temporary ones.
Post them here please: Suggestions ForumOnce again, thank you for your patience.
As always, looking forward to next update.

Original postMosasauroidea
In late cretaceous ages a super-family of marine reptiles dominated seas and oceans.Scaling from early tiny mosasaurs like Aigialosaurus whose probably took advantage of cold-bloodness, breathing air and kept distance close to the shores where their stronger arms and legs could be of use.
Up to late massive Prognathodon that developed a special fluke on their tails that gave them the thrust while swimming. These late 'mosas' gave up on their walking agility in trade for swimming efficiency. They also possessed a very interesting feature that is yet only known to moray eels - Second pair of internal jaws which were useful (with combination of tongue) in devouring flesh since their teeth were for gripping not for cutting into smaller pieces.
Thanks to all of these features mosasaurs eventually out dominated their older siblings the Pliosaurs such as Kronosaurus. They used very unique way of swimming that can only be compared to turtles or birds. Depsite being the biggest in early cretaceous they simply could not compete with modern mosasaurs, even if they had stronger jaws and were very efficient in swimming for long distances, simply too slow in acceleration.
Therefore they went extinct.
Main changes and bug fixes
Gameplay
- Achievements can no longer be gained after using cheats, also "Cheater" appears under coins if you used them.
- Survival currency does not save after using cheats.
- "pink food" that grows on the bottom now gives double experience.
- Your babies no longer get scared of you if you open your mouth.
- Megalodon has been resized to keep scale with Prognathodon
- Re-balanced costs, speeds, damages and sizes of many species.
- Bosses now seek much further for prey - so they will see you just when you see them.
- Aggressivity has been recoded, so even smaller predators will attempt to attack a weak or otherwise afk creature.
- Babies have gained double speed.
- Bigger fish now require more EXP to level up but at the same time bigger prey leaves more meat.
Graphics
- Fixed multiple "missing" eyes on creatures.
- Fixed instant rotation on some parts of creatures when changing direction ( mosa, ichty, etc )
- When changing graphics quality optimal image effects now turn on or off.
- Fixed model / animation bug that happened after spawning
- Fixed water splash effects
Controls
- *Teeth - biting indicator no longer disappears when facing depth.
- While controlling a creature it's no longer possible to do a more than 180 degree turn which caused camera to "jump" from one direction to other and the creature turned opposite direction.
- Game now slows down when opening the in game menu - Pause returns
Networking
- Launched new more stable facilitator server.
Heavy thanks to all of you who gave us feedback.
As always looking forward to next update!

Original postPlacodermi - Armored fish
This extinct, prehistoric class of jawed fish once dominated the oceans have been resurrected in this update.
Placoderms were in many ways very similar to sharks whose have been developing alongside placoderms. As air bladder was not yet evolved in their times, both of them required thick, not very movable pectoral fins that helped them to convert motion into sinking, rising or being upright.
Titanichthys - Great map
- largest placoderm that decided to go whale-filtering styleArmor on their head and thorax did not allow for very efficient gill movement, so they had to keep swimming to not drown. But unlike the naked sharks the armor also reduced their elasticity and streamlining making them very vulnerable to attacks from back. They had to face any attacker with their head, so they developed a large tail fin to counter the turning problem.
Coccosteus - Ocean map
- a very tiny placoderm - literary mini dunk would be ideal for aquariumsMost of placoderms turned their facial armor plates into thick ( not real ) teeth that were very effective at crushing / breaking through most of Devonian prey armor (mostly arthropods and other placoderms).
Dunkleosteus - before named 'Browurag'
The pop-star of placodermsGame changes
- Placoderms take heavily reduced damage from front and increased damage from back
- Placoderm AI has been adjusted to face threat, instead of running away with slow speed
- Snap passive now charges even without mouth open and increases bite speed.
Green Moray
-was hard to take a screen as they are not usually seen
Replaces old eel visually and gets a AI rework to hide in between rocks.
Still will need a better rework as in real life they have second pair of jaws to help them swallow prey, but that's on a list for Mosa's dentist as well.Herbivores / Coral fish
Wachuma visual rework
Blu visual rework
- All fish now instead of running straightforward from predator attempt to run away from it's way and mouth, so when the predator is too close they'll go behind him and then away.
- Herb/Coral fish have now have way reduced speed but increased agility.
Barracuda
Replaces old eel visually and gets a heavy stats rework to appear more fast accelerating and streamline predator. Also they and Goliaths have been temporary removed from Great map.
Xiphactinus
Why not just throw in one of those kick-ass predators.
Sharks
Game changes
- Now can not stay still but have to keep swimming - like placoderms
- Shark AI now attacks bigger prey from back or side. 2x especially when attacking pacoderms.
- Shark AI now attacks crabs / crustaceans prey from bottom.
- Shark AI now does not let go, to utilize their passive.
- Cartilaginous skeleton makes them way quicker to turn around than bony fish similar to their size.
- Megalodon is now way bigger.
- Other species and their cost have been adjusted.
- Tiger sharks and Hammer heads now eat each other.
- Great White (boss in ocean map) - now eats big chunks of meat instead of just big fish
Crustaceans
- all eyes in game are now shiny
- Now take reduced damage from top and increased from bottom.
- Trilobites received burrowing animation,
- Crab AI now defend them selves way more effectively. ( scales with game difficulty )
Other changes
-new catfish model
- New fluid like tail animations on most bigger fish.
- TESTING FEEDBACK - under 30% HP after few seconds fish go into "wounded" state, they can't swim properly and turn bellies upwards. During this time they bait nearby predators.
- Big fish now cost more but drop more meat.
- Big meat now takes longer to break but gives more exp.
- Some of the reworked fish don't have babies reworked.
- Starfish like food now gives more exp.
- Optimization - you can now bite at max only 10 objects.
- Ocean map is now available for testing on multiplayer.
Ocean Map
- Heavily optimizations have been done, should yield at least +40% FPS
- New rocks have been added for Morays to hide within. ( we will continue on updating the map visually in next updates )
- Spawns have been replaced for balance.
Difficulty
- Easy- AI has bigger reaction time, swims slower + more herbivore count
- Normal- No significant changes
- Hard- AI has less reaction time, defends better + more predator count

Original postNew Multiplayer in Swamp map
Our 2 years old implementation of multiplayer was way too hard to maintain and too complicated to even just setup. So we've decided to create a new easier, simpler and more stable one.
The old one was so deeply connected with everything in game that we had no other choice than to just rewrite 80% of whole game logic code. (spaghetti code ) After constant three months of removing - fixing - implementing. Somewhat stable "release-ble" version is in our hands, ready for further debugging.
We have also improved our error reporting tool to send us the location the error occurred and the stacktrace so we can start fixing these pesky bugs.
The temporary solution we came with, seems to work well enough despite the latency and packet loss connectivity over the internet comes with.
btw piranhas are brokenLooking for feedback
We know that the current deathmatch mode is broken in it's essence, yet it's the most flexible mode for a "very" nice multiplayer experience. That's why we've added some sandbox-like server settings that let you guys set what fish should spawn, how many and at what price.
So please somehow ignore any game beaking bugs (restarting the game should fix most of them and we will start working on them as soon as we get the bug reports)
Finally go and try some of the entertaining modes which we will make into presets. For example try playing as swamp crabs, trying to jump over waterlilies while dodging predators underneath.
Other changes
Pike - Remake
Piranha - remake
Puffer fish - Remake
Megalodon
and some seals
Version 0.9.0a
-Fixed a unavailability to spawn in survival mode.

Bug fixes
- Fixed a bug where water "fog" color wouldn't change when translating between cold/warm water.
