Hello everyone,
it was almost 2 years since the last update and today I come with great news, hope you are all excited.
New developer
We are reading all your posts and checking the community almost on daily basis. We really were struggling with a lot of demands from your side and we couldn't fulfill your requests. So we did some paperwork and here we are today! Announcing more support, content and QOL updates!
For over one month now we have been learning together with new developers the game which we took over after the great Bit Golem (good job Hubert!).
So welcome on board 3T Labs and Pancake Games. We will be working together on the next updates, fixes and DLC's.
Quality of Life (QoL) updates and new DLC
Learning a project after other developers is a pretty hard job. You probably think "it's like jumping into someone else t-shirt", believe me - it's not ːsteamsadː
So we are discovering every secret place in the code, how gameplay mechanics work, fish models, maps, and more.
Our first task was to check the project and fix minor bugs that we could find, then we wanted to show you some results of our work, so we decided to prepare a DLC.
We created a fishery based on New Zealand - Taupo Lake and Tongariro River Delta. And I can already tell you that is a pretty big map. We put there completely new fish species and... (wait for it) re-done old fish species like brown trout, rainbow trout, koi carp and more! Taupo Lake DLC will be out on August 22, 2022 19:00 CEST.

But here is a thing - we are testing it on our side and still learning the project, so there will be no separate VR DLC tomorrow. We will release it a bit later to DOUBLE-CHECK if everything works.
The same comes with bugs and some in-game features. No one will test it better than you - players. We fixed more than 30 bugs with this DLC but still, we could miss some of them. So we would like to ask you to write down every problem that will occur in the game after tomorrow's update. We promise to FIX EVERYTHING as fast as we will be able to. Please post all your feedback here:

Future of the game
We would like to push in the future more QoL updates including some important fixes like the old annoying reeling sound!
But wait? Only so small things? No way!
Yea, you are right. No one knows better about this game than you - Players! So we will run surveys where you will be able to request new features, inform us about the most annoying things or choose locations for future DLCs.
So watch out for steam forums and the news section! We will post soon first survey there, so keep an eye on it!
Thank you for your time. We are back on track with Ultimate Fishing Simulator 1 and we will do our best to work close with you - the Community,
Regards,
3T Labs & Pancake Games
