Fishing minigame has been removed and replaced with a more immersive fishing style where the player will cast a bob (Rubber Duck) and wait for something to pull it down before reeling in.
This is an effort to eventually faze out the minigame from Landless since it does not fit in the Survival Genre. This also includes the minigame for hacking, but will be fazed out soon when we have a suitable alternative to swap.
Fishing also has a chance to attract sharks
Test Notes:
-Buoyancy corrected on the sperm whale and mega shark meat chunks
-Getting damaged while in the harpoon seat will now knock the player out
-Being knocked out by a sperm whale should not permantly alter your harpoon perspective
-Whale swimming height slighty elevated
-Hammerhead sharks speed has been reduced by 20% and health increased by 200%
-Trophies added for Sperm Whale, Megalodon Shark, and Leviathan. After you finish chopping them up a skull will appear you can loot
-Trophies can be placed in your homes
-Buoy build states have been removed, when player plops down a buoy, it will be fully constructed
-Fixed certain merchant ships that were missing merchants
-Elimination contracts fixed, this was altered when we attempted to repair the collection contracts. Both should be working now including the shark lady.
-Makeshift battery cost has been reduced from 10x to 3x. The makeshift battery approach is acting as placeholder until we implement a more efficient system.
-Wrecked cars added to the Leviathan Zone
-Dead Megalodons will no longer flip the boat
-Dead Megalodons will no longer grab the player
-Megalodons bite attack now working properly and will drag the player down before letting go to allow the player some time to reflip his/her boat and get back into combat readiness.
-Megalodons colliders have been refined
-Player should no longer get stuck in the Megalodon
-Sperm whale should no longer spin in circle under the water when attempting run away from a player that has been capsized
-Sharks no longer tread water and will swim until aggroed
-Shark respawn timer reduced to 2 minutes down from 5 minutes. Default was 1 minute
-Megalodon should no longer fly
-AI optimization for megalodons and sperm whale
-Harpoons should no longer shoot blanks after killing a megalodon or sperm whale.
Dev Notes:
We are going to be running tests all weekend to do our best to prevent game breaking bugs on update day.
