Hey brothers,
I am going to start working on update 1.5 consisting mostly in adding more fish to the game. I am requesting suggestions for what species you would like to see in the update. I can add only 9 more fish in the update, so I will select the specie based on the volume of request for each fish. Just replay to this post with your suggestions. So far many players have asked for Cubera Snapper.
I will announce what fish will be added after I get the results. If you have any other suggestion to make the game better, don't hesitate to suggested as well.
Regards,
Carlos

Hello Carlos,
Can we please add a map as bluewater with marlin, mahi mahi and spanish mackeral!
And with the fish could you change them so we can tell which one is bigger, cause they all look the same size.
Thanks,
Tom

Hello Tommo,
On your suggestion, a lot of players have asked for that same thing. What I have planned to do about that is to create an small free game tittled along the lines of "Spearfishing BLUE" with just that level and the kind of fish you find in that environment. I can't add a full level to the current game because it would increase the game size beyond what the app store accepts. This small game will have ads though since it will be free. The next update 1.5 will add 9 more fish as explained in my post and it will refine some details as needed.
So far the players haven't reviewed and rated the game enough to keep the game up in the charts so at the moment the game is loosing visibility and thus sales which makes very difficult for me to keep updating it as frequently as I would like.
It would be helpful if you and anyone you know that owe the game, would sign up to this forum. I am trying to have more interactivity with the players so more people can know about it.
Regards,
Carlos

Hi Carlos,
Big fan of the game and glad you are avid on bringing out improvements. Is there a reason why the App Store won't allow you to add more updates? It seems a fair few games have a much larger content than FreedivingHunter..
As for suggested fish species I would like to see the Cubera Snapper also, as well as Mulloway, Spanish Mackeral, Kingfish, Dogtooth tuna, anything from the Emperor family, Tuskfish and Parrotfish.
Also, is it possible to make certain fish earn more experience. For instance, harder fish found at greater depth or ones that are harder to locate earn you more points towards leveling up? This would encourage players to dive those more difficult locations, because at the moment besides a couple of extra fish species, there is no real bonus in playing the harder locations. Furthermore, I like the idea of earning money and buying your own gear as suggested in previous posts by players. A blue water spearfishing game would be great also, I would buy it!
Overall, I enjoy the game and it is the best on the market of its kind. Cheers.

Hello ccspearfishing,
Thank you very much for all your comments! Before I answer your questions let me tell you that update 1.4 is available since last night in the app store!
About the updates and the app store, the problem is that there are things that some players have asked for that it would require the same amount of effort that it would required to make a new game, because I would have to change the core programming in order to achieve the changes in the gameplay. Also the max size the app store advise is less than 100 mb, but you see games that have more than that because there are some companies with enough budget that they can have a server where players can download the extra content on the fly, and I don't have any resources but my passion for this game, so I can't afford having a server.
About your suggestion on erning more experience by capturing fish that is harder to catch, I like the idea and I will see about the possibility of doing that.
About the blue water game I am planning to create a small free game just with a blue water level and the species found in blue water, this small game would have of course adds which is the way free games work on the app store.
Please if you have friends that play the game invite them to sign up to this forum to see if it can get more active, also invite them to review and rate the game to help the game game to go up in the app store charts.
Welcome brother!
Regards,
Carlos
