    THE WEATHER UPDATE

    this update adds a synchronized day and night cycle, changing weather, heavier fog events, a proper sun and moon cycle, and a compact clock and weather display. fish now come in five collectible quality tiers with improved sale values, cooler and logbook indicators, and quality-aware catch showcases. we’ve also added the foundation of player leveling with catch xp, animated xp feedback, persistent progress, persistent single-player world time, and slightly shorter bite waits to keep fishing moving.

    THE LOGBOOK UPDATE

    this update gives the art tools a much cleaner and more complete interface with erasing, single-stroke undo, grid hiding, restoring and finalizing, plus independent left/right docking controls for both chat and painting. the paint toolbar is more compact, the default layout keeps chat on the left and paint controls on the right, and the art kit has been temporarily lowered to 50 fish coin for easier testing.

    the logbook also received a substantial presentation overhaul with consistent fish portrait sizing, a five-column circular catalog, better handwritten paper styling, original fish facts, a cleaner no-scroll details layout, improved spacing and typography, and clickable portraits for viewing the full fish artwork.

    THE PAINT UPDATE

    v0.3.3-prealpha adds the first pass of collaborative surface painting, including placeable grids, shared multiplayer artwork, multiple marker colors, adjustable brushes, undo support, grid management, snapping, and host cleanup controls. the new art kit and its upgrades are available through the fishing shop, with a compact paint toolbar for managing unlocked colors, brush sizes, and grid sizes. this update also includes some additional world lighting adjustments and general stability work around the new drawing and shop systems.

    focused on making the world, character and fishing feel much more complete. we’ve replaced the capsule with the animated character model, added walking, running, sitting and the new emote wheel, tightened movement and jumping, improved lighting and added horizon fog. fishing received a major overhaul with reliable surface tracking, cleaner casting and reel-in behavior, animated bobbers, longer and more varied bite times, improved multiplayer presentation and a much cleaner fishing/showcase ui. fish can now be dragged from the cooler onto the hotbar and shown off to everyone in the lobby. we also increased multiplayer update cadence and fixed the exported fishing rod attachment so the release behaves consistently outside the editor.

    enjoy!

    this update is focused on making netfishing feel more polished. i added the categorized logbook and expanded the fish catalog with new catfish species and updated artwork, improved the water presentation, fixed fish selling and expanded the fishing shop so fish can be sold directly from the cooler, and tightened up the ui scaling across different screen sizes. i also improved the shared notepad, chat docking, title presentation, dialog layering, shop backdrop, and removed a few distracting overlays and fishing status messages. save and networking are compatible with the last release but I would still recommend updating as soon as possible to enjoy all the new eye candy!

    netfishing v0.3.0-prealpha.2 is ready to go.

    this ended up being a much bigger update than i originally planned. multiplayer is now working, along with player profiles, chat, mail and gifts, moderation tools, portable player data, inventory changes, accessibility improvements, and a pretty substantial menu/ui overhaul. there’s also a new animated background for the tab menu, which is a small thing but makes the whole game feel a lot more put together.

    it is still very much pre-alpha, so there are definitely rough edges, placeholder elements, and things that need another pass. the inventory layout in particular is functional but not finished, and there’s still plenty of controller and resolution testing to do. that said, this is the first build that really feels like the beginning of the actual multiplayer game instead of just a collection of separate systems.
