So, there is no plan on implementing another sailing option to use instead of fast travel? the fast travel breaks the immersion so would be really nice to have a time compression travel like the ones implemented on 'Fishing: Barents Sea' and 'UBOAT'

It is planned but it's not a feature but more like "redesign" of current feature.

That is very nice to know, maybe you guys should consider add it to the roadmap described "redesign", that will for sure attract more players and avoid refunds. For me personally, would be a dealbreaker not having a 'time compression travel' option planned.

Despite that the game looks great and shows great potential

Thanks for the quick reply! Keep up the good work!

I was streaming the game today and my viewers asked me, can I join you? As soon as they noticed how many tasks I had to do... well in short... co-op would be great and you would sell much more.

So far we didn't plan multiplayer but we will have a really good crew feature. It will be updated with new crew members and tasks that they can do.

[Thunderheart]

Multiplayer is a major aspect, if not top aspect for a large part of the streaming and sim game community. I really hope it is considered and added down the road. I do believe it would increase the games appeal and sales drastically. Even just a co-op mode would help. The joy of playing with friends is why many of us play these games and stream them.

At the moment the game is unplayable
npc is not working after I load save.

You don't have a date for faster fixes or we have to wait for each update.

I wouldn't mind downloading game fix updates

I would really like a portuguese translation pt-br.

Many in Brazil are fans of the deadly fishing program

Fast travel is fine! i love it! if dude doesn't want fast travel he doesn't have to use it. THATS WHAT THE OPTION WHEN YOU CLICK THE MAP IS FOR, HELLO. Click the map it 'asks' you if this is what you want to do. Don't click Accept. as a matter of fact, never use the map at all, but asking for this option because it's a deal breaker for you then don't buy.

what I mean is that the game is buggy with npc and for me the game still becomes unplayable because a fishing where you have to do everything slowly is really tedious.

At the moment I will wait for future updates to later play, but my rating was positive to help the game.

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE include a free mode/sandbox where you can just do this endlessly. This is one of those games where you can just kick back, relax and have fun.

The issue with saying that, is the cost to develop a multiplayer game is substantial. Also we did not meet the goal for them to produce multiplayer to begin with which is why they aren't planning for it.
