Four Days to 1.0: The Locals Are Hiring
Lost Arcade
The full release is almost here, cher. You've already met the swamp's regulars and helped each of them out once. Come 1.0, they've got a whole lot more for you to do. Say hello to Missions.
37 Missions at Launch
One favor was just the warm-up. Fetch, deliver, chum, scavenge, and race the clock across 37 missions at launch, with more coming after release.
Rewards You Can't Get Anywhere Else
Every mission pays! And some of them give you Tackle and Puppet Parts that can only be earned by completing missions. If you want the look, you'll have to do the job.
A New Day, A New Spot
The locals don't sit still. Each NPC moves to a different spot on the map every day, and their mission of the day is random. Check back daily to see who's where and what they need.
Familiar Faces, New Favors
- Lil' Lucile still has an empty seat at her tea party, and a lot more chores than she let on.
- Jonah Swol has a whole new training program, and you're his spotter.
- Kenny the Mechanic's engine keeps finding new ways to fall apart.
- Sketchy Steve has more favors to ask. Still don't ask questions.
Two New Species: Flattus Lopsidedus & Murkus Squintii
Twelve new fish are waiting in the swamp. One species is flat as a pancake and only sees half the bayou. The other haunts the murkiest water with big glassy eyes and squints at the sun like it's nursing a hangover. Every one of them is worth bragging about.
Something's Watching
Not everything in the swamp wants a favor. Two new threats are moving in for 1.0. One has too many legs and a real talent for hanging around where you least expect it. The other is big, old, and very far from home, and the locals swear they've only seen it in blurry photos. Keep your line tight and your boat lights on.
What a Ride!
Early Access has been one heck of a trip down the bayou, and we couldn't have made it without y'all. Every review, bug report, wild suggestion, and late-night fishing session helped shape this game. Voodoo Fishin' is better because of YOU. From all of us at Lost Arcade, thank you, from the bottom of our stuffing.
And that's still not the whole haul. We'll see y'all on the water October 13 for the full release of Voodoo Fishin'!
Tight lines! -Blake, Brett, & Mark
