FIXES
FIXED BUG WHERE CLIENTS COULD NOT UPGRADE?
Turned Physics Simulation off when bobber hits water. ( This will fix a alot of the issues where the bobber hits the shores and spins off into the distance, This will also allow people to fish in way more areas and allow them to fish further from shore ) .
Fixed Bluetooth Fishing (Players not being able to see other players actively fishing)
Fixed Bug where Shark attack would sometimes be silent
Fixed Animation Bug where if you swapped item slot mid cast, then go back to fishing pole, it would be stuck in “full cast” animation.
Fixed Bug Where Wood footsteps would not play in cabin
Fixed Bug where The proper amount of gold would not be taken from player when buying upgrades (it was subtracting gold as if there was only 1 player in the game!)
Fixed bug where the fish point value of a fish would not always be correct or would reset after gambling it.
Fixed bug where the butcher table and large grill would appear in the shop after loading a saved game even if the player had bought them on the previous save
Weather Slider now turns down weather:)
Sticky Hook Perk on Client
Fixed Mermaid changing value in hand.

Increased Base Value of MolaMola by 10%
Decreased Based Value of Muskellunge by 25%

The new map “The Canyons” is scheduled to be released on the 4th of October! It is just needing a few more creatures along with some additional testing before it will be pushed to live.
This map is going to be a bit different from what you are used with gone fishing. This map will include new types of dangers such as aerial creatures and rock slides. This map is very linear and was designed with the intention of players using the new tunnel item to better navigate the map. In addition, this map takes a new spin on the day night cycle. Rather than the shark creature coming out at 22:00 to hunt down players who have yet to hide in the cabin, players will be able to fish much later into the night. Given this, other creatures will become progressively more hostile the later it gets. The intention with this design is to force players into more intense situations by forcing them to fish later in the night without the soft lock that the shark creature presents. You can expect 33% shorter day times but an additional 50% more time at night before the shark creature comes out.
New content on the map:
8 new bait types
3 new creatures/monsters
10 new fish
Lots of other new stuff:)
In addition, the portals you are used to using as fast travel will soon serve a new purpose. As of now the portals teleport you back to the cabin, however, as I finish up work on the expansion areas for each map, these portals will teleport you to new areas on the same map. For example, on the Jungle map, the portal will teleport you to a volcanic island which will have both high tier bait and fish as well as new dangers. The primary bottleneck as of now is of course, the creatures. They take the most time to create and implement by far however I am hoping to have expansion areas for all of the maps released before the end of October.
Thanks!
