What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Feed and Grow has grown from prototype to beta version thanks to player's support. It is this beta version in Early Access where we want to test and polish new features, including the much-desired multiplayer version. In addition to that there are new playable fish, new abilities, passives, mods and scenarios with we need to test to make them more fun. For that, community feedback is the best.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“One year. During this time we want to test the specific new additions and focus on improving them.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

  • Game content – at least 3 new scenarios / maps
  • Both single and multi player versions – new fish abilities and passives
  • New playable characters
  • Smooth multiplayer game experience – as many tech issues solved to ensure multiplayer availability for as
  • Smoother animations
  • Sounds and music
  • Features that will appear during the testing – player detection amongst other fish, preffered game mods and abilities and other improvements that the community wants the most.

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

  • Many different playable creatures, each with basic abilities.
  • Three different maps.
  • Deadmatch mode and Crab madness mode.

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“During the whole Early Access the price of the game will remain the same and will be discounted.

At the release of the full version, the price will reflect all the features added. Purchasing the Early Access version will include the first full version too.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“Feedback is much appreciated. It's proved to us to be the best pinpointer on features and parts that need out attention the most. We're really happy to talk about the game with players.

We're looking forward to meeting players in game as well and you can find us on Facebook or YouTube, where we're happy to chat too.

In addition to that we will keep the community informed here with various news updates, behind-the-scenes stuff and upcoming features.”

Patch notes 0.6.44

Thanks for all the feedback you gave us on last update. In this patch we are fixing the most important issues. We really appreciate the help.

Swamp map
  • Amount of fish has been increased by 30%
  • Amount of worms has been doubled.


Swamp lurker
  • Bug fix: Things killed by turtle no longer disappear leaving no food.
  • Now turns twice as fast - this should make the controls a bit more reactive and easier.
  • Active ability - Hide in the shell - now has a proper description and actually works, causing that the turtle in shell no longer takes damage. The AI should also start using this ability when it's health drops below 50%.
  • Cost has been reduced to 70 coins.


Klej
  • Has a new passive ability - Hold
  • Swim speed has been increased to 2.7m/s from 2.3m/s.
  • Damage has been increased up by 40% - to compensate with new passive.


Browurag
  • Now has passive ability - Snap
Overall all large fish now turn a lot faster, to slighty fix that slow turning glitch.


Crab madness mode
  • Bug fix: The single roaming Green King Crab should no longer spawn.


What's comming next
Even if we are still expecting to push out a few bug fixing and a few content extending patches, we will be mostly focusing on developing the survival mode followed by multiplayer.

Thanks for your insights.

UPDATE - Patch 0.6.43

Finally
We have hacked through most important compability issues, that kept us away from pushing new updates. And so this update is pretty 'fed' and 'grown'. :D

Looking forward to see what what do you think!

Swamp map remake

We wanted to test out our new volumetric terrain system, and the swamp was last map that ever recieved any update. It used to have fish species that were already playable on other maps and the map it self was not really looking as swampy as we wanted it to. So we have decided to remake completely.


- The map now features several unique species, yes, including Swamp Lurker - the snapping turtle which was not originally ment to be playable (you will notice why - hard controls). But due to all the hype around it in comment section, we're putting it out there with 101 coin cost. :)

- Shrimps in swamp map have been replaced with worms, who should replace their role just fine.

However most of the work done will remain invisible, as it will be featured in the upcoming survival mode.


DirectX 11 rendering and other visual changes

If you notice any visual bug or glitch try restarting the game or changing a map, if the issue persists please let us know in the comment section below.

Water
- Surface shaders have been completely rewritten, now supporting proper reflections and refractions.
- Depth ( or fog one might call it ) rendering has been also rewritten and it no longer enlights the scene, but instead it absorbs and spreads light. This means looking up you will see the water being enlighten while below it should be darker.

Invisibility and camouflage
Previously only one species could go invisible - the Dreu Eel. However there was a glitch that broke the rendering so much it actually made the eel more visible.
- A new invisible creature has been added, who finds it first, should call it in the comment section.
- Invisiblity shaders have been recoded, now making a pixel noise disappearance.
- A new passive has been added - Electro-reception - which reveals invisible creatures. But at this moment only Hammerhead has it.

Real-time Global illumination
ONLY FOR MONSTER COMPUTERS
- Is a new image effect that can be turned on in Graphics settings. Meanwhile it's not yet completely finished, it will be replacing the ambient occulusion in future.

New gameplay interfaces

The HUD rework was necessary for the upcoming Survival mode, where we needed new space for various controls and indicators. So for now it only does what it previously did, except that now it's a little bit more cool :D

Deathmatch
Max level 10 is no longer a thing, so the unlimited deadmatch has became the main one.

Balance changes
Over the time since last public update, the blance changes have been changed so many times so it would be impossible to write down all of it. The current state of the game difficulty and balance might or might not be broken and we are seeking for any feedback, so we could correct it.

Anyway, we are looking forward for your reactions in the comment section!

I love this game!!! I cant stop playing it!!!1 Maybe a day and night cycle would make it a little more interesting like only certain fish appear at night. and since theres three ability boxes make some of the fish have nighttime abilities.

Its multiplayer, its mayhem, its Awesome!

Fish overpopulation is simply an understatement, as different fish will either become common or rare according to their movement patterns. I have been in games where the Raptor Fish and Bilbos just decimate the whole ecosystem because of their sheer numbers. Crab Madness certainly made a twist on the game as you took on the role of the lowest hunter in the ecosystem, just to become royalty if you managed to survive what the Ocean Map has to throw at you, including the big shark who hunts whatever it wants whenever it wants.

The game is Difficult, but what is there to expect from a Deathmatch/FFA game? The FFA comes into play when you become a larger fish, since the bigger fish don't have as many predators and therefore don't have as much to worry about much like the smaller fish, who are easier pickings for the big fish.

The game could use more balances because of how Overpowered the Catfish can be, as a level 5 can eat almost anything without having to tear the fish to pieces.

this is a really good game even in early access. but i rage every time i die because it happens over and over and over again. but i gotta get lucky one of these times. i hope in the future they will add different maps like a lake, channels, brooks, creeks, seas, and bigger even tide pools. it would also be cool to see people fishing so you could eat the people if you were big enough or people on a large ship in the ocean or somthing. also storms and big waves. I realize its only 2 or 3 guys but im just saying it would be really cool. and some more fish suggestions like mudskippers, stingrays, whales, mosasaur, great white playableand some more prehistoric sea creatures. or even an aquarium mode where you play as small fish in an aquarium. sorry, i have so many ideas but yes its a very good game and cant wait for more cool updates and releases. im a fish inthusiest and really love fish so i just thought id share some of the many other ideas that i have.

Best fish-eat-fish survival game out there.
May be 14.99$ but it's worth a good game.

- Host a server for you and your friends to play!
- Grow and grow and soon be dominant! (but it ain't that fun because no challenge, because everything would just run)
- Find out more in the game!

GO BUY THIS GAME NOW!

And it may look poorly developed but its a two man team.. From what I've heard.
What are you waiting for?! Buy it!

Unless you are too low. Thats okay, just get a steam card.

(Review based on Single Player)

Imagine a concept similar to the survival mode in The Isle (e.g the player is an animal in a dynamic kill-or-be-killed ecosystem, and must earn the right to play as more powerful animals) except your a fish instead of a dinosaur, and it's consistently fun instead of being tedious with long periods of boredom: that's Feed and Grow.

That said the only major downside so far is the majority of mid-priced fish don't seem to be worth playing as. I wouldn't mind the fact that they're easily killed by both packs of cheap fish (especially once they level up) and expensive fish, if they had funner or more useful abilities.

Your better off just leveling up a starter fish and hanging out in a pack of fellow starter fish npcs (that will also level up, especially if you help them hunt) until you earn enough to by the more expensive fish. I also wouldn't mind harder modes were more challenging (perhaps hard mode could use a hunger system?)
