Update 0.2 - A whole new look!

addedRainbow FishMentioned in the devlog update, a whole new variant of fish has been added, these fish count as any colour, meaning that they count towards trinkets such as stone, glass and shell which all target colours individually! With this new variant come all new trinkets that convert your fish into the rainbow variant!

changedNew UIThe UI has been given a face lift! Away with the oversaturation of blue and in with a lost sailor feel, featuring pages and books that feel as though you're logging everything as you fish day to day.

New Stu, New Art!

And finally I've had some very talented artists create some absolutely gorgeous new artwork for the game!

First off we have a whole new Stu by @sansh_pixel on Fiver. Love this new more detailed design!Steam post image

And secondly we have this incredible new banner art by @sheilenwei!

I hope that you all enjoy this update as much as I've enjoy making it!

All my best,
