Hello Playtesters, we release a really important fix for a few things.
CRITICAL
Fixed fish stamina
Fixed drag
Fixed fish fight
Major
Fixed rod visuals ("jumping tip")
Since this update, you should see a big change in a fish fight. They should now show more speed during the fight and fight as they should from the beginning. Let us know what you think and if it needs any more tweaking.
IMPORTANT:
This update may cause your playtest equipment will change to Red Worm.
