Let’s take a closer look at the teams behind the scenes, turning Fishing Clash into the ultimate fishing adventure.

Live Ops: Crafting Daily Adventures

The Live Ops team is the heartbeat of Fishing Clash, creating over 1,500 events in 2023 alone. This dynamic environment is where new content is brought to life every day, tailored to the needs and feedback of our players. From unforgettable duels to the formation of clans, Live Ops ensures that the community aspect of the game is vibrant and engaging.

– Designing daily events and content for a game like Fishing Clash involves a combination of creativity, player behavior analysis, and a deep understanding of the game’s mechanics. It’s crucial to understand players’ preferences and playing habits – to build an exciting and immersive event players will find worth playing and spending – shares Damian Blicharski, Senior Live Ops Designer.

Understanding that we’re creating these events for our players is at the core of team’s philosophy. Their feedback is not just valuable — it’s essential. It informs their decisions, helping them to refine and adjust their approach to ensure that the gaming experience remains engaging, enjoyable, and aligned with community’s expectations.

– As a member of the Live Ops team for Fishing Clash, my daily goal is to enhance the game experience through engaging events and attentive response to player feedback. This effort is crucial for keeping the game lively and ensuring our community feels heard and appreciated – says Artur Meller, Product Manager at the Live Ops Team.

The aim is to strike a perfect balance between challenge and reward in every daily event the team designs for Fishing Clash. It’s a delicate dance of ensuring that each event not only tests the players’ skills but also offers them meaningful rewards that acknowledge their efforts and achievements.

– For me, the real reward comes from seeing how our efforts to listen and respond to the community shape the game. It’s fulfilling to be part of a team that values player feedback so highly, working together to make Fishing Clash not just a game, but a shared experience that grows and improves over time – Artur adds.

Content Team: Crafting Realism and Beauty

The Content Team is where Fishing Clash visual magic happens. Tasked with creating the most beautiful, realistic graphics, this team ensures each fishing experience is unforgettable. Every fish, rod, and ray of light is a testament to the team’s dedication to authenticity and artistic excellence.

– Our fishing environments in the game are the result of the work of many people from the art team. As a 3D artist, I work closely with a content designer and a concept artist. My task is to implement a location that will give pleasure and positive experience to players. We have brainstorming sessions studying the area, wildlife, and culture of the region to fill the environment with details that make it alive and real – shares Liuda Stelmakh.

She also points out the importance of players’ feedback: – It’s very important because it helps us improve our approach and make the right decisions in the future.  After each release, I look forward to feedback messages and I am very happy to hear positive impressions from players, their stories, and even photos from the place where the fishery is located.

Creative innovation is at the heart of what the Fishing Clash Content Team does. They are constantly exploring new ideas to keep our game world vibrant. Yet, they balance this with a deep understanding of technical constraints, working closely with other teams to ensure feasibility.

– Together we refine ideas to strike the perfect balance between innovation and practicality, allowing our game to evolve while maintaining quality. Personally, seeing the community’s enthusiastic response to our new content is incredibly rewarding. It validates the hard work and dedication that the team pours into every aspect of the game. Knowing that players are enjoying and engaging with the content we create fuels our passion and motivates us to continue pushing the boundaries of what’s possible – shares Katarzyna Antoniszyn, Producer in the Content Team.

Feature Stream: The Technical Backbone

The Feature Stream team is the technical backbone of Fishing Clash, focused on developing new mechanics that enhance the gameplay experience. Their work ensures the game remains innovative and technically robust, capable of maintaining and evolving the complex systems that keep players engaged.

– As the product owner and a gamer myself, but I can say this for the rest of the team as well, we’re focused on developing a game that lasts and keeps players engaged for years. We know that games get forgotten if they’re not updated, which is why we’re committed to adding new features and improvements regularly.

Our goal is simple: to provide updates that matter and keep the game interesting for everyone. This isn’t just about adding content. It’s about making sure the game stays relevant and enjoyable – says Krzysztof Świst, Product Owner at Fishing Clash.

Identifying and prioritizing new mechanics and features is a multifaceted process that involves a blend of analysis of the most important KPIs, players’ feedback, market research, and our creative vision for the game’s evolution.

– Once potential features are identified, we employ a prioritization process that considers factors such as possible impact on players’ engagement and retention, development resources, and alignment with our long-term strategic goals. We strive to balance addressing immediate player desires and laying the groundwork for future growth and development – says Ewelina Skóra, Lead Producer.

Expanding Horizons: Fishing Clash’s Leap to Desktop

In a significant move to enhance accessibility and community interaction, Fishing Clash in 2023 expanded to web browsers, bridging the gap between mobile and desktop gaming. This expansion provides players the flexibility to engage with their favorite fishing simulator across multiple devices, enriching the gaming experience.

– The transition to web browsers opens up new realms for our community, offering the same immersive experience on a larger canvas. It’s a stride towards connecting our players in more ways than ever before – says Łukasz Modliński, Expert Backend Developer.

Transitioning Fishing Clash from mobile to desktop involved challenges such as adapting UI/UX, optimizing performance and ensuring cross-platform synchronization. The team addressed these challenges through redesign, performance testing, synchronization, platform integration, and a comprehensive marketing strategy.

Philipp Garack, Operations Manager at FC, supervised the process: – The strategic importance lies in audience expansion, increased monetization opportunities, enhanced community building, and gaining a competitive edge in the gaming market. Overall, overcoming these challenges and capitalizing on strategic opportunities can contribute to the game’s growth and long-term success.

– In Fishing Clash we’ve already had a browser version of the game available through Facebook Gaming platform so the beginning was quite easy for us. The biggest challenge overall is always performance of the game – mobile platforms differ a lot from WebGL in terms of available resources, textures optimisations etc. and all these had to be adjusted – adds Łukasz.

Fishing Clash has embarked on an exciting partnership with Major League Fishing (MLF) as the title sponsor of the Angler of the Year awards, deepening our engagement in the sport’s professional sphere. This collaboration allows Fishing Clash players to compete in daily MLF-branded events, mirroring the real-world competitions of MLF professionals.
