Hi anglers!A short update from us, because it's been a while and you deserve to know where things stand.Work on the Remaster is very much ongoing. We're on it every day. But we'll be honest with you: everything is taking longer than we expected. Not because anything went wrong, but because the deeper we get into the project, the more we find that needs to be done properly rather than quickly.The VR rebuild in particular has turned out to be a massive undertaking. Rebuilding every mechanic to work the way it should in VR is far more complex than simply porting what already exists, and we'd rath

Hello Everyone,It's finally time to update the beta, which includes all maps, including fully reworked DLC maps. I won’t go into detail here, as everything is covered in the changelog below.Stage 2 is not available in Playtest. It is available only to all current game owners and includes the remastered DLC versions.Stage 2 is now primarily focused on performance testing and optimization across the new and updated maps. We’re carefully analyzing stability, framerate, and overall gameplay performance.We appreciate your help in reporting any bugs you encounter and filling out the feedback surveys

Ultimate Fishing Simulator began as a small prototype and a big dream in late 2015. We launched in Early Access on Steam in 2017 and released the full version in 2018. Since then, we have consistently expanded the game with new mechanics, maps, features, and DLCs, improving it year after year.At the start of 2024, we set out on our boldest adventure yet: creating a completely free Remastered version. For our small team, it has been a mountain to climb. Every day, we chase a single vision - to deliver a richer visual and gameplay experience while preserving the heart of the original. I’ve lost

Hello Everyone,Stage 1 is a huge milestone — the entire map has been rebuilt from scratch. With it comes a brand-new sky system, a new water system, an updated weather system, and fully refreshed fish and gear models. Our goal has been simple: to make the game look and feel better than ever, while maintaining the same smooth performance and frame rate as before.The Challenges Along the WayThe road to this point wasn’t easy. Along the way, we encountered many surprises - entire features and add-ons stopped working after migrating to the new Unity engine. We had to rebuild and rework them from t

Hi! It's been a while since the last Status Update and I will say the remastered version is a long and bumpy road. It took tons of time, research, whiteboards, brainstorms, and most of all trying not to affect any game mechanics that have been in the game since 2017. I have to admit (and I believe other members of our small team will agree) that our heads are full of ideas about what we can do, and how we can do it but then here it comes: Engine Update ːsteamthisː. "Aye, why multiplayer is not working?", "The sky disappeared"," Why rods are not bending anymore?" and so on. Huge engine in the b

Hello Everyone, it is time to drop some light on how the works over the “rework” are going! What did we achieve, what we would like to achieve and what things we are struggling with 🙂 So what does the “remaster” mean at all? What is it? What you can expect? To be honest, it is a really complex matter that we divided into a few sectors but first things first. By the remaster, we mean that the whole game, especially the background code, scripts, and assets will get an overhaul while keeping the core gameplay mechanic in its current form (maybe besides cringe reel drag that is not working proper
