The fisherman task by Huntrox
it's fishing season and nobody is fishing and the villagers income not enough for them to get new fishing gear , you mission is to catch fish then sell it and slowly you start buying fishing gear for the people from your village so they keep the lake alive and also help with the village economy, in exchange they will give you a percentage of what they earn.
this game is more of a relaxing type of game and needs some time to explore the full content so please take your time and enjoy




web version is coming soon. im having weird bugs with the fonts with web version build

BUT, it's really perfect.
The graphics are polished, the gameplay is very nice and relaxing. It's very satisfying to fish and use the arrow system.
The music is soft and relaxing.
Great Job
Also
"Fish weight: 80 kg"
"Fish size: Medium"
That cracked me up.
and tbh i didnt like the them that much because almost every game is like that so i wanted just to do the idea i have in my mind
thanks for the feedback
The fishing minigame is kind of infuriating because the directions follow neither a rhythm or the direction the fish is moving in.
Otherwise a fun relaxing game, nice work!
Nice job, love the graphics, the relaxing music, and as I said, above all, the upgrades.
What made me stop before I could get all upgrades was how slow it is to start fishing once you press F. I would greatly increase that time.
Really awesome job!
Some feedback:
* Great art style and mood!
* Boat controls are good.
* During the fishing minigame, the arrows disappear too fast. Sometimes by the time I press a key there's another one already.
* Also, sometimes the arrows get behind the seagulls and you cannot see them.
* Controls are a bit laggy in the minigame.
* I have mixed feelings about the minigame for catching a fish. On one hand, it contrast with the idea of a relaxing game. You're sitting in the boat, listening to a relaxed music and the sounds of the seagulls and then you're typing really fast to get the fish. It feels odd. But on the other hand, it does feel like actual fishing :)
* The UI is great, but the text is not readable enough. Maybe because of the color palette.
* The theme is a little underused, but it's ok (same happened to me)
* I bought the equipment for other fishermen, but they never show up. How long does it take to start seeing earnings from them?
* You should change the music during the fishing minigame.
Overall, I love the idea. If you polish it a little more and implement some additional features, you'll end up with a really good commercial game
Congrats!
1) The background music gets a bit repetitive. Since this is a relaxing game one might want to play for quite a while, it probably needs more variation, some periods with no music, some round robin tracks.
2) There's no save function, at least on web. Maybe it's there in the desktop version? I can't really invest a lot of time into this because I have to start from scratch every time :(
3) the sound effects don't really mesh with the calm ambiance given by everything else. I feel like I'd like more realistic sfx, maybe cc0 stuff from freesounds or something along those lines.
I'm just very impressed how quickly you created all the models for this game, I don't think I would ever be able to finish anything like this as fast.
I really liked the mini-game of catching the fish via the arrows but it would be better if the fish didn't swim off screen as I'm trying to catch them (I couldn't see the bottom arrow when this happened).
Overall though, it was a treat to play, well done.
Great job!
Other than that it's really cool but just lacks depth (ironically), maybe the concept was a little bold for a jam, but it would really improve a million if you had more juiceness like, showing visually the different fishes caught, collecting, a better laid out story and all.
Overall nice job man
One thing tho, sometimes the arrow which you have to press to catch the fish changes slightly to quick for such a calming game
It is super relaxing to just listen to the music and row in this beautiful low poly world. Also I am a big fan of your UI style, so smooth and balanced.
Wish you the best of luck!
