Hello adventurers! We're thrilled to announce that our Seasons, Sails & Scales Free Content Update is OUT NOW on Steam! 🥳

Seasonal Events bring limited time events to Nice Day for Fishing, planned for Halloween, Christmas, and Easter! As of today, the Halloween event has begun, running until 3rd November.

In each Seasonal Event, Honeywood has had a themed makeover and there's new challenges to complete! During all Seasonal Events, we’ve added a Goblin Shop, which will sell unique seasonal items obtained with a seasonal-specific currency!

Every season requires you to obtain seasonal currency, each in a varied way…

• During Halloween, lanterns will be floating around the map, some of which require you to progress further in the game to obtain. With lanterns, you can purchase items like a Bat-Rod, a Franken-monster Mask, and more.

• During Christmas, festive presents need to be dredged from the sea like treasure chests. With presents, you can obtain items like the Sugar Cane Rod, a Snowman Sail, and more.

• During Easter, you guessed it, you’ll be collecting Easter Eggs spread across the world! Eggs will allow you to purchase the Carrot Rod, a Bunny Hat and more.

Elites are new, larger and tougher enemies that, depending on your level or gear, can feel harder to take down or even feel like a mini-boss! For this Content Update, we’ve created 60 new enemies, all of whom are Elites. This doubles the number of enemies in the game!

When you defeat Elites, they will drop a new currency called Shady Scales, which can then be used to purchase Sails in our new Sail shop.

In Freda's new shop, Sails can be purchased using Shady Scales that are obtained by defeating Elite Enemies. We added four attributes to sails bought at the shop, with these sails now impacting your boats behaviour when equipped! These include and will define your boats:

1. Acceleration- How quickly your boat will accelerate.

2. Deceleration - How precisely your boat can stop.

3. Average Speed- How fast your boat will travel in normal speed.

4. Sprint Speed- How fast your boat will travel when using the fast / sprint speed.

The way the stats numbers work is slightly different than a standard scale, which might make some look deceiving. Each increment of an added attribute may look to have less effect. For example, the difference between Acceleration 7 and Acceleration 9 is less noticeable than the difference between Acceleration 1 and Acceleration 2.

Our advice here: just try it out! Use the numbers as general directions. Try out multiple sails, and then select the sail that best fits your playstyle!

We’ve added a Secret Boss to the game! Only true heroes will be able to unlock him, only players with open eyes will be able to find him, only the toughest heroes of Azerim will be able to defeat him, but the reward will be worth it.

We've added a "Use as Skin" button, which allows you to equip one items stats and another item’s visuals to have the most stylish NPC in Honeywood! This can be done for Rods, Hats, and Sails, allowing the player to choose the look of Baelin and his boat independently from the attributes of the equipped items.

A fun and well-requested feature has been implemented in our Content Update, as you will be able to trigger Baelin’s one voice line!

• Pressing \[C] or the right stick \[LEFT] will make Baelin say “Mornin”.

• Pressing \[V] or right stick \[UP] will make him say “Nice day for fishin’, ain’t it?”

• Pressing \ or right stick \[RIGHT] will make him say “Hua Ha!”[/p][/*][/list]

  There are two to three versions of each sentence, with a random version being selected and played each time you press part of the voice line. This addition has no impact on gameplay, but we’re excited for you to have access to this feature for some funny moments with Baelin!

  We’re keen to see how players use this and can truly imagine some of you just playing to constantly spam “Morning. Morning. Morning. Hua Ha. Hua Ha. Morning.” 😃

Hello adventurers! 👋

We have epic news to share with you: we have locked in a date for our free Content Update...

We're super excited for you all to experience our free update, which brings so much new Content to Nice Day for Fishing! This includes additions like Seasonal Events, Elite Enemies, Sail Stats, and more.

And on that note, today we have our second Content Update Dev Log detailing our new Secret Boss, using Items as Skins, and triggering voicelines for Baelin! So let's set sail on what's to come tomorrow in our latest update:

We’ve added a Secret Boss to the game! Only true heroes will be able to unlock him, only players with open eyes will be able to find him, only the toughest heroes of Azerim will be able to defeat him, but the reward will be worth it.

René spontaneously conceived the idea for the Secret Boss and integrated it into the game through testing. The whole team liked it, so we kept this feature in our Content Update and got to polishing the Boss up! We don’t want to say too much, but here are some hints for those who want them:

First, unlock the Boss. Secondly, find the Boss.

Finally, defeat the Boss.

Jokes aside, there is a subtle hint in Content Update to assist you, if you are ready. As the Boss is totally optional, we just went ALL IN on the Boss’ difficulty. Expect him to be even harder than the final boss of the game… 👀

We’ve also added a very cool reward for defeating the Secret Boss, another of René’s amazing suggestions! We immediately loved this idea, but it took some time to balance the reward as we wanted it to be a reward that really respects the fact you’ve beaten the hardest enemy in the game, but also ensures it isn’t unbelievably overpowered. As a final touch, we fine-tuned the reward to add a visual effect that signals that the item is truly valuable! Can you defeat the Secret Boss and unlock this valuable reward?

We’ve had the idea for a while to add in a mechanic allowing players to merge items together, keeping one items’ stats and the other items’ visuals. At first, we had the idea of adding some sort of transmogrification feature when adding more interesting-looking items to Nice Day for Fishing, but we needed to find a proper balance for their in-game attributes.

We eventually moved away from transmogrification since our game allows you to only have one of each item, so permanently altering an equipment item's visuals seemed like a bad idea. We didn’t feel like this was the best way to implement this feature, given that each of our items is unique! With this in mind, we came up with the idea of using equipment as gear or as a skin, allowing players to freely choose the best-looking outfit and still retain the desired in-game stats with very few actions required.

To do so, you’ll head to your inventory in our Content Update and instead of selecting the default ‘equip’ button, you’ll select the second option to use it as visuals. This will use the skin of one item but the stats of another! This can be done for Rods, Hats, and Sails, allowing the player to choose the look of Baelin and his boat independently from the attributes of the equipped items.

Overall, we didn’t want to create situations where players would find a cool looking hat or rod and not be able to use it due to its low stats, as that feels like a lost opportunity for fun for the player! Even more, once the player obtained the best gear in the game, there is no reason left to hunt for all the other hidden items. With our Content Update, you’ll be able to hunt for hidden treasures and equip items even once Baelin is maxed out and Level 40! Just keep the stats of your best equipment, but you’ll still be able to use the visuals of that cool pirate hat you just found… ARRRR, Nice Day to Shiver some Timbers, ain’t it?

Combining this with our new sails feature and the Seasonal Event items, too, makes this a perfectly timed addition to our fishing adventure game! This means you don’t have to sacrifice your epic mage build just to wear our new seasonal items.

We’re happy that players will be able to add more variety to their outfits and boats, and we hope you all enjoy the added customization that this feature brings to Nice Day for Fishing!

A fun and well-requested feature has been implemented in our Content Update, as you will be able to trigger Baelin’s one voice line!

• Pressing \[C] or the right stick \[LEFT] will make Baelin say “Mornin”.
