- Version 1.4.6 Patch Notes - 19 June 2023
Updated Daily Tournament rotation and made improvements so that the rotation can be changed more easily in the future Added a new Daily Tournament type (Anchor Down) which may be in the rotation in the future Anchor Down Daily Tournament: You must anchor your BOAT at some point during the tournament. When you do this, all fish in your livewell will be released and you will not be able to move your BOAT for the rest of the tournament. The 8 largest valid fish in your livewell at the end of the tournament will be counted (provided you have anchored). Updated the way that Single Column Mode on the Fish Journal panel works. It now allows you to freely adjust the number of entries you wish to see (up to the maximum) and the setting will not change based on the number of fish discovered or when changing lakes. If you have discovered fewer species than the set value, it will just show all spec…

- Anniversary Sale and a Thank You - 21 April 2022
It’s hard to believe that Intergalactic Fishing was released two years ago today. I just wanted to make a quick post to thank everybody who has supported the game over the last two years. Thanks to everybody who bought the game, thanks to everybody who left a review, thanks to all the content creators who made videos about the game or streamed it, thanks to everybody hanging out in the Discord answering questions and helping new players. Every little bit helps a small indie dev like me and I really appreciate all your support! Intergalactic Fishing is on sale through the weekend at a new all-time low price, so if you haven’t played it yet, now is a great time to jump in! Thanks again, I appreciate all of you! - Ben

Added several alert messages to Equipment Shops and the Loadout screen that better explain when you try to make an illegal change to the Loadout such as trying to purchase an item you cannot afford or trying to equip an item that is already present in the Loadout (previously there was no feedback, it just didn’t work) Fixed a bug where Lure Mod tooltips could pop up over the Select Species to Overlay Stats window on the Design Lure screen Fixed a bug that could cause a main quest module to function improperly if you changed lakes while it was being used The progress bar on Exploration Tools modules now only shows up when a test is in progress A list of patch notes from all updates can be found here: https://steamcommunity.com/app/949600/discussions/4/2253433385454123585/

- Version 1.4 - Gamepad support, QoL improvements, and bug fixes - 1 March 2022
With version 1.4, Intergalactic Fishing adds gamepad support! The game should be fully playable with just a compatible gamepad and you should also be able to seamlessly switch between using a gamepad and mouse/keyboard if you would like. The update also adds a couple new modules and several quality-of-life improvements. The Ecosystem Analyzer module analyzes the local ecosystem to make predictions about the number of fish species living in the lake. There is also a new high-end Exploration Terminal module that includes the functionality of the Ecosystem Analyzer module. The Full Grown Size of a species is now reported as an exact weight rather than a weight class (like Huge, Big, etc.). These changes should make exploring and hunting for big fish a bit more intuitive. Improvements have been made to the tutorial and help screens and more tooltips and alert messages have been added to hel…

- Version 1.3.3 Patch Notes - 12 November 2020
Changed the first stage of the License Test (tutorial) to require the player to move the BOAT to a certain designated location instead of requiring them to move away from their current location. This should be more straightforward and will also allow the player to move around as much as they want before progressing so that they can get the hang of BOAT movement. Updated and expanded several pieces of dialogue in the License Test to be more clear and descriptive and to better explain the resistance bar, dissecting fish and the fish journal, and some other concepts Added some dialogue to the Mayor of Ankobo that will alert the player that they aren’t likely to catch many fish in Ankobo Lake. This dialogue will show up if the game detects the player is fishing at Ankobo Lake before starting the main quest. This will hopefully help to better explain to new players that they should move to o…
