Fishing Progress

@macdguy worked on various aspects concerning Fishing last week and this week.

Fishing: Fish Emotes WIP

Fish Emotes were added to indicate how various fish are feeling about the bobber, if they’ve been scared off, or if they’re interested.

Fishing: Various Fish WIP

All the fish animal items were defined and added into the game and their AI created per animal.

Fishing: Successful Minigame WIP

Since last week, the minigame was adjusted based on testing feedback to ensure you can always easily see the stress of the line and the progress of the catch without having to look down at the bars below.

The gameplay has also been tested in a multiplayer environment and is being polished all around.

I’m so excited to have a shark friend in my Underwater condo. I really love the shark plushie too! It’d be good to have some empty aquariums too so we can add the decor ourselves

I’ll admit, I wasn’t that hype for fishing at first. I was worried about lack of variety or poor controls… But seeing the work in progress videos in the dev logs? I think it’s safe to say it’s going to take up more of my time than I’d like to admit. :+1:

WE CAN CATCH SEALS???

Not specifically catch, the large sea creatures you’ll have to fish up sea dollars which can be spent on buying some of our larger fishy friends. In mac’s words “It’d be a bit cruel to fish up a whale, wouldn’t it”
