- Changed the first stage of the License Test (tutorial) to require the player to move the BOAT to a certain designated location instead of requiring them to move away from their current location. This should be more straightforward and will also allow the player to move around as much as they want before progressing so that they can get the hang of BOAT movement.
- Updated and expanded several pieces of dialogue in the License Test to be more clear and descriptive and to better explain the resistance bar, dissecting fish and the fish journal, and some other concepts
- Added some dialogue to the Mayor of Ankobo that will alert the player that they aren’t likely to catch many fish in Ankobo Lake. This dialogue will show up if the game detects the player is fishing at Ankobo Lake before starting the main quest. This will hopefully help to better explain to new players that they should move to other lakes in the ULT Network instead of staying in Ankobo Lake.
- Added a new “Helpful Tips” entry to the Help panel that compiles some useful gameplay tips
- Added a “Not right now” option to the final (repeatable) stage of the Gambling Gary random event so you can temporarily dismiss Gambling Gary if you aren’t in the mood to gamble without having him leave forever
- If you had already permanently dismissed Gambling Gary, he will come back (whenever the random event is triggered next) and you will then have the option to bet with him, temporarily dismiss him, or permanently dismiss him
- Updated the dialogue responses to make these three choices more clear
- Added a new option in Settings to change the temperature scale (Celsius, Fahrenheit, Kelvin, and Rankine)
- The color of the species text on the list of feeding activity schedules on the Time panel will now change to better indicate when a species is in a period of high feeding activity
- Fixed inconsistent capitalization of some terms in dialogue and UI elements
- Fixed a rare display bug related to the Travel panel
- Fixed a crash that could occur when opening the Objectives panel
- Fixed a bug where the License Test (tutorial) could get stuck in the transition between the intro and the dialogue
- Made some mostly behind-the-scenes improvements to UI drawing
- Proactively fixed an issue that could have caused minor issues with daily tournaments after the new year
