Ropes and Figuring Out Gameplay (devlog)
Hey thanks for watching! There hasn't been much progress but I thought to also just share my thoughts and internal monologue on what this "pre-production" looks and feels like.
Thank you so much again for the support. I honestly cant believe how many of you reached out!
I will be focusing on this "hook mechanic for the next two weeks and hopefully I'll have something more interesting to show you! Until then, take care! Much love!

    maybe the goal would be to catch REALLY big fish, starting with sharks and small whales then working to get upgrades to the point you're catching sea monsters the size of islands, then the rope and hook doubles as a challenge to hook the thing, then to drag it to shore without getting flung into obstacles by your catch. Maybe each fish would have some sort of special move, maybe sharks could bite your boat if you touch it dealing one damage, but a kraken would raise tentacles into the air then slam down to the water so you have to bob and weave through the shadows to not get dragged under. then some obvious upgrade paths like hull strength, engine power, maybe rope length, then some more dynamic stuff like adding an electric charge to your hook that stuns your catch initially for a few seconds so you can start your momentum, or a dash ability that makes your boat go really fast for a few seconds but it cant turn for the duration.

    Looks great so far! I don't think I've seen many top-down fishing games, playing into that with the fishing mechanic could be a good thing to explore, like the "fishes" move around the boat when on the line and you have to counter their movement to catch them. Looking forward to seeing where it goes 🚢

    5:59 THATS MY DUDE! Thanks for featuring him! I love the rope physics they look awesome, something that would make it look even better is if you could make it blue to make it look like it's dipping in the water. Using emojis to better describe what I mean it would look like this: 🛥⬜🟦🟦🟦⬜⚓ blue square would represent the blue rope that's dipped in the water and the white on the rope that's not dipped, and I think this would add some visual juice🧃, hopefully you get what I mean Full-art dugtrio looks awesome, your friend is lucky
