April devlog 🐟 indie fishing game in Godot 4 dev log

[@a6gittiworld]

i like the colors and shapes that the player can generate, thinks it fits the game

[@jesusmora9379]

glad I could help, here are some more hints :) 1 - for wet surfaces you can set roughness to a low value or use clearcoat. for the scales you can increase metallic, or use a metallic map. 2 - you can override the draw function of a CanvasItem node and render the parts of your fish on top of each other with draw_texture(), with this you can also use modulate to color the texture. each part, like the stripes and fins would be a texture with alpha. 3 - I don't think I know enough fish to care, sorry :|

Crazy that there are at least two people creating rythm based fishing game in Godot right now

[@Savallion]

There are? That IS crazy.

Loving the game! Stepping back a bit is a good idea :D

[@Rattacadabra]

Cute project, I can't wait to see where it goes! :D From what I know, blending in "real fish" and "fake fish" gives a baseline "Oh I know what that is!" Makes people feel more at ease with magical and whimsical things :3 It's a really cool thing our brains do.

[@Savallion]

Thanks! That's a nice way of looking at it, I agree.

Awesome work, keep it up !

I've always liked the fishing part of games like Stardew Valley so this game really appeals to me. Looking forward to seeing how this develops. I like the idea of real fish (especially for less advanced/valuable fish) and then seeing fanciful/exotic fish (especially as the game progresses). I think anything that gives more fish and a good progression makes sense to me.

I like the idea of made up fish !

[@lilwage6910]

I do love a real fish in a fishing game, love seeing what the artist interpretation of a salmon is, or a sturgeon or whatever Pretty sure I don't know what these fish look like even but I've seen them in many games lmao EDIT: Love the concept for the story, "the fun part of mercury poisoning" lmfao

[@LORDSofCHAOS333]

this is still one hell of a big project to manage xd i do want to make my own moba in godot but i have to figure out how to build skill trees have more then 1 map how the account lv up will work there are a lot of systems i have to figure out + the 3d optimization and to be not Buggie to my pen tablet for some odd reason only godot acts wired to my huion pen tablet only if i am in game mode or mouse mode then it acts normal

[@Savallion]

Yep! Games can be complicated things.

[@btark91]

People will not care that you added fake fish. It adds character and more novelty to your game.

[@smokeymchaggis73]

well now Im expecting a banana salmon 😆

[@Savallion]

writing this idea down...
