[/list] [b]A Brief Talk...[/b] Now that hopefully some of the chaos has settled, I just want to thank everyone for hanging in there and playing WEBFISHING. I could've never ever expected the response to this game, and frankly, I want to apologize for some of this nonsense. The launch product was rushed and a bit of a mess (Context: I setup the initial ground work for this project in 2023 for a few weeks, and then spent only 4 months finishing it this year! A 5~ month total development time!) and I ended up not really being proud of the product I had put out. Hopefully, this patch addresses most of the major issues with the game (and I can finally sleep a bit :) ). I'm beyond grateful that you all decided to spend your time on this silly $5 game, and put up with all the bugs and nonsense that have from with it. Happy fishin, folks!
