Main Update
NEW - Wounds and bleedingJust a work-in-progress visual effects that should enhance the gameplay up a bit. Wounds themselves heal / disappear after a while being at full health points.
The wounds are visible only on Graphics Quality "Good" and above.
Wiggling
All fish now wiggle a bit after landing a bite. Aside of the damage it now also disorientates and your prey, giving it less chance to escape.
Sprint
Sprint stamina usage is now much more important for hunting and surviving. Sprinting consumes stamina faster, but at the same time gives a greater speed boost.
AI
Artificial intelligence has been modified just to fit all of the changes, in other words AI from now has better reaction times and overall is less likely to get stuck.
Regeneration
- Fish, crabs etc. no longer regenerate health after taking damage for 2 seconds.
- Stamina regeneration is now reduced the more damaged the fish is.
Eating update
As we are steadily moving towards our goal of implementing a fun herbivore gameplay, several changes have been made to eating:
- Coral food such as starfish now have to be destroyed into pieces in order to eat it as a small fish. Fruits and shrimps can still be devoured instantly.
- Medium and large sized fish now leave one or more of some new gigantic chunks of meat, that need to be chewed down into smaller pieces to eat them.
Gaining experience and Coins update
We have greatly reduced ( -65% ) the experience required to level up for small fish and increased it a bit for large fish ( +10% ). Additionally in the Normal difficulty fish drop +25% more experience in meat, this bonus experience becomes +50% in Hard difficulty .
Coins are now easier to obtain, as eating meat now gives one additional coin.
Crab madness returns as a full mode
Originally we hacked together this mode for the aprils fools event, but since the community liked it so much we’ll be improving it gradually so that it can be a full mode and it will be permanently available.
First set of changes:
- Crabs can now jump
- Crabs can now move sideways
- Crabs have been given new animations
For players that permanently unlocked the crab madness mode during april fool’s prior to this update, we are sorry for going back on our word to bring the mode back only during april fool’s and we'll be rewarding you with a special achievement to mark your victory against the evil crab king.
