Hey Everyone! First of all, we would like to invite everyone to your Discord, where you can get in direct contact with our dev team: [url=https://discord.gg/5AnMchrWYZ]https://discord.gg/5AnMchrWYZ[/url] Second, we are releasing today's update with the Christmas Event and a few more things but without SANDBOX mode, as it is causing issues with disappearing inventory which we are still investigating. [h2]Changelog | 0.23.12.21:2548[/h2] [list][*] Christmas Event [*] New Audio System (ex. new reel sound, new throw sounds, etc.) [*] New Save Systems (fully stored in cloud & app data) [*] Changed map: Slovakia 2.0[/list] [h3]Christmas Event 2023[/h3] The event is the same as last year and there are two reasons for that. First, we are digging in the code and project to push the NEW FIsh System on public beta ASAP, as this is right now a game-breaking issue when it comes to catching big fish. Second - a lot of players didn't know about last year's event, so we are giving just the same tasks, and rewards as last year. [b]The event will be disabled on January 7th, 2024.[/b] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/36994199/497e04f4688fbe3e825f218cf4bafeae3c3888a8.jpg[/img] [h3]New Save System[/h3] So it is here finally, the proper Steam Cloud support and syncing all your saves between different machines. It was done from scratches, saves that were saved in the Windows registry have been fully moved to AppData by re-working the whole system how data is stored and saved from the game. [h3]New Audio System (partially)[/h3] So, the old audio system was messed up a lot and while doing this we found out that many sounds that were implemented in the game didn't even "play" in the game. It's not perfect right now but the current system allows us to implement a lot of sound options and configurations with channels, 3D audio/spatial, etc. We will improve this system but from main things that you should notice are: new reeling sound, new casting sound, new lodge sounds, and some new environment sounds. [h3]SLOVAKIA 2.0[/h3] You will probably ask WHY? And the answer is: FLY FISHING. As the development is moving forward we are slowly preparing to do fly fishing mechanics and we need maps that will allow you to enjoy it to its full potential. Slovakia was supposed to be a mountain river with a proper river current (that is still in the works). So the map was I would say re-done in 90%. The old map is still there, but you can check how it changed by just looking at the minimap: [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/36994199/ec57d307dbdef794cea58a3b10128381cdb27734.jpg[/img] Yes, you are correct - 1,2,3 fast travel points are the old map ;) So let me show you some screenshots.
