Properties Update
That Other Fish and I have taken some time to plan what we want to include until full release. We'll release a news post about this later, but in short we're going to add 6 more heists to the main story and greatly expand on the Penguin Village and related features like a completely new perk system. This will also include a lot more mini games and social aspects for those who just want to hang out with others and spend their Fish Coins somewhere. Apart from the new heists, modernized Penguin Village, and perks, most focus will be on enhancing what's already there.

Small Patch - Big Download
Maybe you've seen some weird lighting glitches lately? Well, that's corrupted lightmaps, so we've decided to rebake all of them and upload again. Lightmaps take up quite some space, so that's why the download is bigger.
See you soon!

Winter Sale

Noot noot everyone!
Small Patch and Missing Files
We've released a tiny patch fixing some issues with the water overlay, and we just wanted to say that there was some odd problem with our patch system that uploaded an empty folder for Windows. If you were affected by this, don't worry, it's fixed now. Restart Steam and verify your game files if this latest patch doesn't automatically download for you. We hope you can enjoy the game as intended now.
Noot noot!
Heist and Housing Update
We're happy to announce that we've finally gotten the two latest heists out, along with the housing system we've talked about a lot. This means that the main story is getting closer to being completed, with around six confirmed heists left to make. The housing system is also a pretty big deal, since it was something we talked about a lot but never really got around to making it happen... but now it's here!
The two new heists are Goldflipper Hideout and Cherry Blossom Island, which continue on the big hunt for the Iron Flipper organization and related mysteries. This also means more blueprints, which means more cool items!
The housing system - found under Properties in the Post Office - consists of some premade maps where you get the shell of a house where you can place your own furniture. Some of the furniture is just decoration, but there are a lot of interactive items too. Right now there are just 3 properties for sale, but very soon we'll add another 7 so that there will be 10 properties in total. Each and every one will be unique with its own special features, like jetskis and fishing, or ghosts invading, or something completely different.
I think this also sums up the future plans, which is to finish the 6 upcoming heists and add 7 more properties. This means that we'll end up with around 20 heists and 10 properties, along with a bunch of social game modes like Pizza Panic, Penguin Village, etc. that will also get some additions.
So, what's new then?
Additions
- 2 new heists!
- Goldflipper Hideout: a tropical island with a big base hiding a missile
- Cherry Blossom Island: a peaceful group of islands with a massive newly-built shipping complex
- 10 new blueprints
- Property buying in the Post Office
- 3 properties: Forest Cabin, Private Island, and Old Castle
- Hundreds of furniture of options for your property
- Several new clothing items
- Added and refined graphics options for even more performance
- Added a save feature for outfits
Fixes and Enhancements
- Enhanced explosions
- Increased performance for lower end hardware
- Increased visual fidelity for higher end hardware
- Nerfed backup forces so they no longer spawn on easier difficulties, and on harder difficulties they eventually stop (no more infinite backups)
- Greatly improved networking stability
- Fixed the boat and submarine sometimes not moving correctly
We hope you will enjoy this update, and the updates to come. Stay safe and keep nooting!
