Ahoy, cosmic debtors! After untold aeons I have returned from the pit with ANOTHER FISH FEAR ME UPDATE!!

• Three new boats! (Whale, Steamboat, Stygian Raft). Their unlock conditions are spread across the game, so players of all skill levels have something to hunt down!

• Three new weapons! (Bullet Krill, Steam Engine, Bounty Hook). Try each of the new boats to unlock them!

• Two new fish! (Spiral Krill, Coalfish)

• Nine new achievements! One for each weapon, and two for each boat.

• Fixed a bug where the post-run summary screen, um. wasn't displaying any unlocks. at all. Sorry about that!

Each of these new boats comes with a gameplay mechanic that twists the rules of the game in a fun new way. My personal favorite is the Steamboat's DISCOUNT ability, which makes a random item free whenever you refresh the shop! This can let you do some nonsense like filling your inventory with rare bait on Day 1!

(Get it? Like, discounts powered by steam? Steam-related discounts? Eh?)

As of RIGHT NOW, FISH FEAR ME is 30% off for the Steam Fishing Fest!! Tell your friends!! Tell your lovers!! Tell your friends' lovers!!

So the WOMEN WANT ME Free Content Expansion is still coming! It's been a little slower than I'd like (I had a day job for a bit, which significantly slowed my progress) but I'm OFFICIALLY back to fishmaking full time! Things should speed up a LOT from here.

One of the things I mentioned previously about this expansion is I'm bringing on a new artist, Gwyndolyn Marchant, to do cutscene animations for the game. It turns out that when you hire experienced artists, they make things that look really good!! Check out this screen from the expansion:

Look at that! I'm obsessed, tbh. The dithering on the cobblestones is GORGEOUS.

That's all for this time! I hope you enjoy the new content :)

Happy fishing,
