The creator of frying pan simulator Arctic Eggs is engaged on a fishing recreation that I’m sure will replicate the act of angling in a wholly peculiar and correct vogue. Its strategy to hooks, traces, and sinkers will mix the fishing from Animal Crossing, Sega Bass Fishing, and Webfishing, says developer The Water Museum in a submit on Bluesky. It might have a splash of Dredge in the case of stock administration too. Oh, additionally, a wierd man may suggest you’re “disappointing somebody”. Nothing to fret about. And the ocean could or could not flip fully crimson. These choices haven’t been finalised. The whole lot is okay. It’s potential the fish are fit for human consumption.
That’s the sum of what I discovered from a cursory creep upon The Water Museum’s social media feeds. Although it could be a deeper gap than I can account for. There are hints that you simply could be promoting your fish or shopping for issues at a stall (or perhaps simply chatting to the woman who works there?). You may need branching conversations with a number of the people you encounter. It’s, we’re informed, “not a horror recreation”.
As I’ve talked about in different posts, I get pleasure from seeing devs share their ongoing progress, even when the stuff they’re displaying off will probably change in large and small methods. It additionally means you get to see the enjoyable bugs. Like this try to implement “triple-A immersive wall-touching expertise”.
Once more, that is early days. However I’m taking word. A earlier demo for an additional quick recreation by the identical developer, Consuming Nature, sees you taking part in as a big-eyed fish your self, swimming in a small pond and leaping haplessly onto the rocks in an try to catch and eat ants that come to slurp on the water’s edge. It is a very small prototypey factor, however options the identical crispy, low-resolution visible fashion of their earlier recreation, Arctic Eggs.
Fish would seem now and again in your frying pan in that recreation too, alongside eggs, bacon, cigarettes, cockroaches, and different delicacies. We did not evaluation the sport at RPS, as a result of we’re a dwindling sack of mortals whose fingertips put on nearer to the bone with each passing day. However I did play it and located it to be a positive instance of sturdy NPC dialogue. Keep in mind whenever you’d stroll round an RPG city and everybody would have only one comically quick line, totally bespoke to them? It is like that. Besides everybody lives in a concrete polar house advanced and a few of them are prisoners and likewise they yearn for cooked shards of glass. Do not overthink it. It is regular to get pleasure from a little bit of glass.
No concept when the fishing recreation is popping out, and even what it will likely be known as. That is okay. These are the common phases of creation. Weep in case you should, however your emotions are irrelevant. We could select to inform you once we be taught something of precise significance. Or we could not. Goodbye.
