- Fishing Improvements - 1 March 2026
v0.6.0 provides a huge batch of improvements and fixes. In particular, it makes various improvements to the fishing minigame such as: better UI indicators, a more intuitive central mechanic, and improved star difficulty scaling. Previously, you had to press a series of buttons (depending on the difficulty) to progress the catch meter, but now you just have to hover the hook over the fish. With the improved difficulty scaling, I am still able to provide challenges that I originally planned for higher difficulty fish. There are now dotted lines for the hook and the fish which represent the collision of each. This makes it clear where exactly you need to go to gain catch progress. Lastly, the fish has a progress bar to represent when it will make its next action. Overall, it should be a better experience for mouse/keyboard and controller players alike. I hope that you enjoy it!\ - 2025-03-…
