Hello Farmers!

I SPENT WAY TOO MUCH TIME DEVELOPING A STUPID FISHING MINIGAME AND NOW I NEED YOUR 🫵 HELP TESTING IT!

Seriously though, I need to get some opinions on the fishing mechanics, and it felt fair to let the gold tier patrons get their hands on it early to tell me what they think :)Obviously this is just a tiny cut of what's gonna be coming in the next major patch, but since this'll be a pretty big mechanic, I wanna make sure it's actually fun!

GET THE DEMO HERE!

[Or here!]

Just grab a rod from S'apphire, find a good spot on the river to cast, and get fishing!

Let me know what you guys think below! I wanna make sure the minigame is in a fun state once the major release comes along :)

Until next time, Farmers! Thanks! ❤️

Dandy, my rod snapped, pls buy me a new one :(

This link seems a bit fishy >:3

Ok count me in, I'm gonna BLT, Back off Let me Test it

So far. so good. Wish there was some special interaction with Holly when we found her toy in the water, instead of just selling it back to her. The fishing mechanic itself is fine, if a bit clunky (though that could just be my crappy mouse). The trouble is that the fishes aren't worth much, even the harder to catch ones, and we can't cook them or anything due to being stuck in the village proper, meaning its hard to get the funds for the better fishing rods. Also, I'm not sure if its a feature, but you can make random stuff you throw on the ground turn into "bait" on the hook.

Oh, there actually is a custom interaction for gifting it to her, it just requires her to be a cow so I imagine most folks won't be able to do it in the demo! (Hit CTRL+SHIFT+C to turn all the girls into cows if you wanna be able to gift it to her!) And yeah, the hook catches items just in case anything ever drops into the water c: Cheers for the feedback! I'll work on the mouse controls a bit

Not to bad only had one crash with the pickaxe after buying it. Or the fish swims out of the red box. I just wanna know what the rare fish do?

amognus

Can't seem to be able to equip the tools, the game immediately crashes. Anyone else having this issue? The fishing rods and axe are working now, just not the pickaxe, it's always a gamble when equipping it. Also amazing game yipee! The minigame is very fun

amognus

Woah, didn't know there were cheat codes! Are there any other ones?

Dandy's Chest

Sorry, small tool crash right now! Selecting a hotbar slot before you equip a tool there will crash!

Dandy's Chest

Yeah need to limit how far the fish can go out, sorry about that! :P The rare fish will unlock a trophy that you can get from the new NPC and sell for a lot of cash when you feed 'em to the mermaid. So, mostly cosmetic! ^^

MforMetropolis

Hit detection on the hook while IN the fishing minigame is a bit wonky, which isn't helped by the fact that some fish like to stick to the walls, leaving it unable to circle them. Some of them go even OUT of bounds for the minigrame,

Enjoyed the new fishing minigame! Liked the variety of fish and their descriptions, I thought those were cute. Couldn't seem to buy the middle option fishing pole, though... Are you capable of purchasing it right at the start? I also found some difficulty in selecting the minigame explanation - not from bugs, but from design. It's a cursor-based minigame where the boundaries are a mechanical limit/consequence, so moving my mouse cursor over to the explanation icon just keeps ticking down the time limit - you can't even finish reading through it all before you're booted from the minigame, and that just seems annoying. Are you able to make it so that there won't be any penalties for moving your cursor until you've made your first circle around the fish, if that's possible? I guess also that it's weird to have a power mechanic to cast your line in a game where that's really only working on the x-axis? But I guess I also don't know what you have in mind for future level designs, and I suppose I'd rather have it than not. Just a weird little thing the demo makes look inconsequential right now. Also not sure how I feel aesthetically about the river running through the whole town, but that's a little personal nitpick of mine.

BoogieYoons

I've just tested your new fishing game and its very nice, good work, but it's difficult if you don't have a real good mouse, it's not a critic, trust me its just because i don't a mouse for my laptop to enjoy your game at his full potential :,(

Dandy's Chest

Making this as a change for the full release, thank you for the suggestion! :D

Dandy's Chest

Thank you for the critique! I'm gonna adjust how the timer works! It'll tick faster the faster you move your mouse, so it'll be better to move slowly and carefully than fast and unprecise! :)

Actual not-so-actual

I have been fishing for 20 minutes and i haven't gotten a single one so far lmao, seems pretty hard. If other people say it's fine then it's fine i suppose, but i feel like i am missing a trick of some kind

Dandy's Chest

Thank you for letting me know! I'll probably tone down the time drain rates for non-rare fish then if they're causing that much trouble.

bgoober

I can't seem to equip any items, it just hard-crashes me instantly

hellooo i justed subscribed, love the demo so much. Im just wondering, would i start the full game using this latest build (the fishing demo) or would i use "working up a sweat" instead, not sure where to start :p

Dandy's Chest

AHH thank you so much! The fishing demo is just if you wanna try out the fishing! For playing the rest of the game proper, do Working Up a Sweat! :D
