Hi, Thank you for your feedback, it is a good idea. But we cannot promise to implement it in the game in the nearest future.

Hi, Thank you for your report! We will check that issue. Thank you

SabiScs, Thank you for the great work! We will send rewards to the winners during this week.

The Developers Diaries: New Fish and Waterways! Filled with inspiration and driven by our passion for fishing, we’ve been working on a global update of our game for quite a long time now. Sparing no efforts, we’re dead set to give you a renewed Fishing Planet experience of the highest quality! And since our game is celebrating it’s third anniversary this August, we decided to share some developer inside scoop and give you guys an idea of the great wonders ahead: like the completely new European waterways, even more kinds of fish species, and a few other features you’re sure to love!;) So read on… Waterways: We’re finally adding a completely new region of the world to Fishing Planet - Europe! Now you’ll be able to enjoy fishing the many European waterways, complete with their own unique vibe, scenic surroundings, beautiful nature and all the realistic details inherent to the region! The global map will be represented as a 3D globe. We’ll be adding 10 new waterways in total, all scattered around different European countries. Now you can go on a real fishing adventure and travel to countries like the Czech Republic, Great Britain, Italy, Russia, the Netherlands, and a few other places that we’re keeping a secret for now!;) The first iteration of the new waterways will include 5 new rivers and lakes of the European region. At this stage, we’ll be introducing waterways of: The Czech Republic: The Netherlands: Italy: Russia: and Great Britain: You’ll get the chance to indulge in meditative fishing on a delightfully serene little pond, amidst the charming Czech woods, or land a trophy fishing the wide canals in the Netherlands, surrounded by a mesmerizingly urbanistic landscape, or even fill up your keepnet on the boisterous Carp ponds of Great Britain. And that’s not even mentioning the inimitable dolce vita vibe of captivating Italian scenery, that you can enjoy along with fantastic sunsets and the fishing rod in hand! Fish: Along with the European waterways, we’re introducing over 20 new fish species! Read on to find out more about some of the fish that’ll be added in the first iteration... Czech Republic will be the place to go if you’re up to catching some savoury Tench, Prussian Carp and plenty of Common Roach. You’ll love fishing in Italy, as the local waterways are well known for plentiful Asp, Common Barbel, Grayling and Carp. And how about conquering the tricky Eel in the Netherlands? Great Britain is sure to uplift your spirits as its waterways are abundant in Grass Carp. But what you’re bound to enjoy the most on this Foggy Albion, is the humongous Common Carp - big like you’ve never seen!;) Russia will be the place to go if you’re up to hunting some Sterlet. But that’s only one of the countless species inhabiting the deep underwater kingdom of Akhtuba river, including Zander and Blue Bream. Aside from all of the above, you guys are in for many more new kinds of fish, that will be quite a challenge to catch and will call for your best fishing skills!;) But the introduction of new waterways means not only more species of fish, but also more opportunities! Alongside the European region, we’re introducing …. feeder fishing, ta-da! Now you can enjoy bottom fishing with the aid of feeders to constantly attract more fish to your spot! Why are so many anglers hyped about feeder fishing, you might ask. Well, thing is, while the fish consumes some of the bait in the feeder, the rest of the bait gets spread around the bottom of that area, which efficiently attracts other fish, thus multiplying your chances of a good catch! This function is literally a gateway to new possibilities, substantially increasing the quantity and quality of your catches! But even that’s not all. Multi-Rod Fishing: For now on, you’ll no longer need to constantly switch between rods and lures, making the frustrating choice of what fish to catch first and what tackle to use. The multi-rod function will double your chances of a catch and let you enjoy a variety of fish hunting options! No more tough choices. From now on you can just set up a bunch of rods simultaneously and enjoy waiting for the bites. Soon enough you’ll get a chance to experience all these updates firsthand and try them out yourself! However, such a massive update calls for great responsibility on our part. We want to make sure that everything functions like clockwork and give our full attention to even the smallest details. This means that we still have a big chunk of work ahead of us. And it’ll require at least a few months to do everything right. But trust us, it’s definitely worth the wait!;) In the meantime, stay with us to keep track of the updates and… tight lines!;)

Hey. The right answer is Russia. Those who answered the right way, please, send me a private message with your nickname and gaming platform to receive prizes.

We would like to thank our players for providing us with a constructive feedback and healthy criticism. As we noticed, underwater items feature makes some confusion and irritation among players. Based on community's feedback we decided to reduce a catch rate of underwater items. Also this update contains a minor bugfix. We will provide regular user surveys that will form an integral part of the ongoing procedure of Fishing Planet development.

New waterways are on its way and the work is in full spate! We are ready to present you some screenshots. We hope you will like it! Stay tuned for more information and prepare your rods! PS: Those who will guess the origin country of this waterway will get some interesting presents from Fishing Planet.

Hello, thank you for your feedback and proposition. We appreciate our players a lot and try to do everything possible to make Fishing Planet as comfortable as we can. We are interested in gathering the ideas of our users and always try to discuss it in our meetings for implementing them in game. We have a lot of updates was promised to our players which in progress now as well. Considering your feedback, it is very important for us to read a constructive criticism to understand better user's needs.

With regard to our community’s multiple requests for more information about the coming update, this time we’ll be telling you about the new Missions system that we’ve been working on for months straight! Underwater items are actually a part of this functionality that already saw the light of day in the previous update. But now we’re actively finalizing this full feature’s first iteration. One thing’s for sure - whatever your game level, you guys will love this update!;) So if you happen to catch an old boot - don’t get disappointed too quickly - it just might be the mission key to finding a real treasure! When you first started playing Fishing Planet, the one thing you had to go through was the game tutorial. But learning new stuff and improving existing skills is something one should be doing all the time, right? And that’s exactly why we’re introducing Missions - to make sure you’re always up to speed when it comes to the game’s newest features and secrets! Worry not, angler! We haven’t forsaken the FP’s expansion, and the core part of our team is diligently creating new waterways and introducing more fish species! But in the meantime - why not test your skills by completing our fun new Missions? So what are Missions? Well, basically Missions are a system of objectives to help the player master new mechanics by introducing him to game content through engagement in various activities. This is a rather complex feature, and therefore we divided it into a number of iterations. Missions of the first iteration are tutorial in nature, based entirely upon the learning process to help the less experienced players get a better understanding of the game, like how to choose the best tackle and baits. But at the same time, there’s quite a lot to be gained here even by the more experienced anglers. Missions are available to all players. Perhaps there’s a certain feature you overlooked or great fishing spots you were missing all along - you might be surprised by the cool thing you can discover while completing Missions! All Missions include a number of tasks for the player to complete and will be available all throughout the game, depending on your progress, waterway, fish and object you catch. In short, it’s a great way to go over some stuff you might have missed!;) We should also point out, that Missions are not mandatory - meaning, you can decide for yourself whether you want to participate or not. But we do hope that you’ll see more incentive in getting various rewards, that will depend on the Mission’s difficulty level. And of course, Missions are a great way to explore the beautiful nature surrounding the waterways, when you want to take a break from fishing. These first tutorial Missions will feature hints to help understand what’s required of the player to complete them. Now, the second iteration of Missions will focus on engaging the most experienced players of higher levels. These Missions are designed for pro-anglers and those who never take the easy way out!;) The implied tasks will require a lot of effort and skill on your part, but with great rewards to match the sweat and tears you put in! These Missions will be introduced a bit later - because there’ll be hundreds of them! And we wish to present you with a finished, high quality output, which in turn requires much time for development and testing. Once the Missions are released, you can test yourself and find out just how well you know the game, as well as learn some cool things! So brace yourself for new adventures!;) Speaking of Missions, maybe you have some interesting thoughts and ideas on the tasks you'd find interesting and would like to see in the game? We will show you more screenshots next week
