FishVille Introduces Discovery Log

FishVille developer Zynga introduced a new discovery log feature, this week. The discovery log seems to be a cross between an achievement/trophy system and an item collection system, with a dash of adventure mixed in. It is now taking up one of FishVille’s main menu slots, indicating that it is likely a permanent addition to the game.

Any time a player “discovers” (ie purchases) one of the fish or decorations present in the log, its spot is colored in and a few points are earned. Special rewards and treasures are available to players that complete fish or treasure collections, or achieve certain point milestones.

It appears all the Discovery Log features are not yet live. Soon, Zynga states that players will be able to “collect resources” in order to go on adventures.

All in all, the Discovery Log seems like a nifty addition to the game. It seems like it might provide FishVille with some much-needed direction, and give players more varied goals to work towards than the previously introduced fish mastery.
