Spawn points / locations
First of all, we would like to thank you all for your feedback and for reporting many issues that allowed us to fix them - it is always a pleasure to find & kill "bugs" when we know where to search them :)
But going to merit. We would like to tell you that BIG fish have a LOW chance of spawning close to the shore / starting location. If you would like to go on a "hunt" you need to take a boat :)
Here is the current spawn-point "legend":
Here you can see how many spawn zones are currently in Florida:
And for comparison here, you can see Betty Lake:
The reason why Florida feels so empty is simple - the map is huge. I mean, literally, it's the biggest map in the game - over 50x bigger than Betty Lake. So if we would put the same amount of fish on Florida that is on Betty Lake or any other map, even Pinas Bay Ocean - it would feel EMPTY. Here is a small comparison.
BUT WHY WON'T YOU DEVELOPERS JUST ADD MILLIONS OF FISH? It would just kill game performance at this stage. Ultimate Fishing Simulator is a pretty old game, done on Unity 2017 - and updating the game on this version is just a developer nightmare (hands up - who can confirm).
So with this in mind we need to find the BEST possible situation for you - Players. Waters need to feel populated, just full of life, and at the same time - run well on low-end PCs, etc. So it's a really hard task but we won't say "Yeah Guys, nothing happened".
We made a lot of mess with this one, but from good thing is - that we had a few "night runs" and we developed for example new spawn system for Florida, which can be used on other maps :)
So what's next?
We are here for you. We will continue reading your feedback, especially regarding Florida so this map can reveal its full potential (RIP tic-tac multiplayer -.-). So if you have any thoughts, tips, feedback, bug reports, or just want to drop your angry, mad message - just do it. We read all of it and try to improve the game.
So I think that's all :) Download the update and let us know if there is anything else not working, or maybe if some fish like Blackfin Tuna can't be caught ːsteamsadː
