Fishing on the Fly News

Try the game out today and judge for yourself if you like it for FREE!

There is link from the main store page for you to download and try the game. The demo will give you a quick tour of the game showing off four levels and what you can expect from the game as you progress.

The demo is good indication if the game will run smoothly on your system or not. I would always suggest the demo first before you make the choice to buy as the files downloaded are mostly converted to the live game, making for an easy transition.

I've also posted guides under that section for how to play and use the controls of the game.

I did have some problems with the demo overwriting the main game files when I was working on configuring Steam. If some of you experienced some issues with the game - this was the most likely cause.

There is a game update coming soon the includes the record book where you can look up your biggest fish you have caught while playing.

Fish On!

There now two hands on the rod for fighting fish when reeling in. I also added four new animations for the rod for up, down, left and right. I wanted to match these to the arrow functions for realism in fighting head shakes and turning fish. It didn’t quite work out yet but expect more refinement and iteration here in the future.

The demo has been a fiasco. There is currently a button to download it but it is broken on the store page. Instead the demo took over the main game files last night between 2 and 4 am until I could unwind the xml config system. Luckily I know how to program computers and Steam’s setup is very logical. I hope nobody was affected by the demo over riding the game files.

I’ve added a bug and suggestion discussion thread. Feel free to suggest improvements! I’m very focused on making improvements to the game that you want and feel need to be there for an entertaining fly fishing experience. Refinement, polishing, improvements to the load system and trophy room are all on the horizon.

Like a boss!

Boss and trophy fish now require you to fight them with limited time and you can find these fish on all levels. When you land your first one of these - you will earn the “Like a Boss” achievement. This is a sweet spot for people wanting to catch fish casually and those that want more hardcore fighting action right away. Seek these fish out (hint they are bigger) and give it a shot. Boss fish will each have their own unique reaction time.

I also took a hard look at the save/load function. The points weren’t saving correctly from when I added fish sizes and I addressed this. I verified the save game files weren’t being overwritten via updates and made sure everything else was working. I’ll be adding some messaging to let you know the save game has worked.
