Patch 1.0.2
This patch introduces many changes and fixes to Adventure mode, with a big focus on the Lake level. Many players have shared feedback that the Bacteria enemies can be too difficult to overcome. Additionally, there was no reason to purchase more than one pet/critter (Clam) in this level. When it comes to Adventure levels, my intention is to provide players with a bit of challenge and sense of accomplishment when completing the levels, however the levels should definitely not be overly difficult or rage-inducing. Read the patch notes below and let me know what you think of the improvements! Keep in mind, there are more changes and additions planned. This is just the first round!
Please let me know if you experience any issues or bugs with this latest patch.
Changes:
- Ocean Conservation 2024 Pack added
- Added support for taking Steam screenshots in-game, now you can take photos of your pretty tank designs and share them! (shoutout to Sbeve in Discussions for mentioning this)
- Adventure stage upgrade costs have been reduced:
- ($5k, $15k, $25k > $5k, $10k, $15k)
- Enemy spawn timers have been tweaked as a result of reduced tank upgrade costs:
- stages 1: 3 mins > 3 mins
- stages 2: 5 mins > 4.5 mins
- stages 3: 7 mins > 6 mins
- Upgraded food now fills a fish's hunger meter more, so they stay full for longer
- Alert text now displays 15 seconds before enemies attack
- Lake level Bacteria enemies will now take damage while cloning, resulting in less clones being spawned overall

- Clams have been given a subtle filtering animation. The animation will not play while a clam is resting
- Fish who take damage from an enemy will briefly and quickly swim away from the enemy
- Shops have had some additional buttons added and restructuring done to include new DLC content
- Fishpedia has had some additional buttons added and restructuring done to include new DLC content
