To celebrate Halloween, we've added a few new fish costumes. We've also finally added the long awaited "Witchy" hat, as well as a new Halloween exclusive fish.

While the silo is still firmly sealed, there is a new patch out now!

You will first need to discover how to unlock the Tech Boat before you can set out to catalog the dozens of new fish that our talented artist, Formex326, has brought to life.

I'll keep the new stuff vague, but:

• Changed Magnalav approach conditions (easier to attract).
  
• Piercer gets tired of chasing the lure after some time.
  
• Lightbulb lure duration extended (happy exploring!)

• You can no longer scare fish off the boat with bombs.
  
• Selling a hat from the Hatalog no longer gives double dollars.
  
• Loading the game with Moga or Maw on the line no longer crashes the game.
  
• Selling an Abyssal after loading the game no longer results in crashbug.
  
• Fish no longer jump off the boat on loading the game with a full boat.
  
• Fish should no longer respawn as bones.
  
• Cardina Data (red skitter) bug should no longer occur.

• Last year I coded a performance enhancement that disabled far-away fish to speed up processing. It resulted in a number of obscure crash bugs, so I've undone the optimization. You may notice a slight performance drop with this patch. For what it's worth, know the fish are having a lot of fun off screen.

Made swimming a little more fun, made some visual changes, and patched a few bugs. Even added a few fish, but no major content changes. Save files should be more stable, and they are saved redundantly now, but your mileage may vary.

Maybe more to come soon?

New fish.
New Lures.
New boat,

I'm happy to announce a soft fix for the 100 quest achievement bug.

It is now possible to reset the catalog: just open it and click "reset". Doing so should reset your quest progress. If you have been experiencing the quest bug and this doesn't allow you to take new quests, please report as a bug here or in the forums.

Many fish behaviors/interactions change over time as minor updates are pushed to the game, so there's a good chance you'll discover something new along the way.

If you'd rather not reset your catalog, just wait for some new fish~

Expect more soon!

- Flick now works even when the line isn't snagged; i.e., it's actually a useful upgrade! Flicking repeatedly is less effective.
- Space bar now works like left click.
- And there's a few new small fish. Nothing fancy, but expect more soon~

Do you all prefer these small daily updates or would you prefer a sizeable content package a few times a year? Please let us know!

We decided a new round of performance improvements was overdue. This is a more aggressive version of the last performance patch; we're hoping to make room for an upcoming content update.

In addition to performance improvements, there were a few bug fixes and balance changes:

- improved save file stability
- decreased the value of the Cave Shark and Swordfish
- increase the frequency of storms (during Halloween).
- decreased the Maw's dive depth
- fixed the quest skip bug (for NEW save files)
- fixed some catalog display bugs
