Features:
Implemented the fishing battle.
* OBS: In this specific patch, all fish have the same AI temporarily.
* Each fish can have it's own AI
* Each fish can have up to 7 lives counting the initial.
* Each second, if the fish is touching the bar, it takes damage, othewise you take damage.
* Controls:
* - A, D: Moves the fishing bar to the left or right, the bar slides and bounces on the walls. Keep the fish inside!
* - S: Stops the bar.
* - W: Strong Pull - Big risk vs reward move that strongly damages the fish and cancel some fish attacks.
* - Missing the Strong Pull greatly damages you. If done while still your bar will shrink, if done while moving you accelerate.
There are now 24 different fish species

Bugfixes:
Fixed a crash related to the black pepper when cooking with it.

We are making quite a lot of progress, the first stage of the fishing battle is implemented, you now have to fight the fish before bringing it to land, the fight is multi-stage and bigger, stronger fish have more stages, each stage changes the music slightly and will also change the fish behavior, getting more intense and the battle rages on.


You battle the fish by following it with the green bar (using A and D to move the bar)


Yum Mackerel


We also added 6 fish this week: Mackerel, Mullet, Tuna (boss fight), Channel Catfish, Flathead Catfish and Luminous Lurker (glowing cave catfish)



We will also add Axolotls to try baiting certain streamers into playing the game :^)

They will have a new custom behavior, they are critters, but swim around like fish, they are caught by hand and can be placed into the water, when placed by the player they become permanent and will not despawn.

Bugfixes:
Fixed a translation issue.
Fixed a bug with one achievement.

*V0.51.1.0 ~ 02.12.2022 ~ Unity 2020.3.36f1

Features:
Added baits to the fishing rod
* Sinking baits will slowly go down, pulling the line makes them go back up
* Floater baits always remain at a fixed height
Baits are:
* All critters
* Some foods
* Some small fish.
* Bare hook: Infinite but low quality
You always lose your bait if a fish bites it, whenever you fish it out or let it go.
There are now 18 total fish.

Changes:
If there are already 3 fish interested in the hook, another fish may replace one of those if it's attraction chance is greater (bait dependant)

Bugfixes:
Fish now give Fishing rather than Bug Catching skill

All of the 70 critters can now be used as fish bait



Some like the crawfish have to be butchered first and used in 50g pieces.
Some small fish can also be used as bait for bigger fish.
Each fish has at least one favorite bait, some have several, the bait descriptions usually tell you which fish enjoys it the most.

So far we have 18 fish

Sardine, Baitfish, River Loach, Blindfish, Black Bass, Spotted Bass, Stripped Bass, Bluegill, Sea Bream, Red Porgy, Crappie, Sockeye Salmon, Pink Salmon, Rainbow Trout, Lake Trout, Crystal Trout, Frostfin Shark and ??????? (Ohh secret!)

Most of the fish are based on real fish, but there are a few fictional ones thrown in the middle.

As soon as we are done fixing some bugs we will be uploading the current build on the Alpha branch.

Next will come the depth-meter UI element, improvement to the charge up for long range throw and more fish, then we will add the fish battle mechanic.
