We’ve heard your feedback.
Many players felt monsters were appearing too frequently and too aggressively compared to Early Access - especially in the early game.
This hotfix slows things down. Creatures should now appear less often, giving more breathing room while keeping the tension intact.
Siren
Early-Game spawn time: 60 → 110 (+83%)
Late-Game spawn time: 40 → 65 (+63%) Spawn chance remains 50%
Also removed from Driftwood bay
Sea Ghast

Late-Game spawn time: 25 → 35 (+40%) Spawn chance remains 50%

Fixed an issue where Fishacles could spawn inside safe zones
Increased hitbox size for more consistent combat
Fish Stealer will no longer appear if there are no fish present

🌏 Looking Ahead
We’ve also seen a lot of interest coming in from our Japanese players - thank you!
We’re currently looking into Japanese localization and will share more once we have updates.
As always, thanks for the feedback! ☺️
