Version 0.6.2.0 is Uploaded!

Since the last update was kind of light on features, I felt bad and got this baby ready for you guys. The most important new feature is the fishing system which allows you to craft or find a fishing rod and catch fish from the reefs around the islands. Another big change is you can now swim or climb ladders with small items in your hand like pistols or binocs. Full change log below!

Change Log

  • NEW CRAFTABLE ITEM: Fishing rod. If you start a new game, there are a couple of these in the world. You can also craft this at a workbench. To use the rod, hold the fire button with it equipped to wind up your cast, release and you'll launch a lure. Watch the lure, a fish will approach if it is cast in an area with fish. When a fish is nibbling at the lure, press fire again to reel it in. If there is a big splash, you successfully caught the fish and it will appear in your inventory.
  • NEW FEATURE: You now only drop large items when swimming or climbing a ladder. Small items like binocs, pistols, etc. should stay in your hand. Note that this may cause some funny clipping issues when swimming.
  • Fixed a bug where exiting the vehicles while their inventory screen was open would leave the player unable to look around or move, and with the mouse cursor stuck on the screen.
  • Added more sharks into the world! Yay!
  • Optimized the fish system a bit, this should net a 2-4 FPS gain depending on your system.
  • Increased the village attack audio volume by 2 times.
  • Added a couple more scrap cloth items into the world since more crafting items require them.
