News Cast
Hello, Seedlings!
As the fog recedes in damp old Woemarsh, we take a little stroll with our fishing rod, in the hopes of catching a nice Gasbelly for supper.
After we have cooked and eaten it, we will read the news scroll, freshly delivered by pigeons from the Castle.
What delights does it tell us about development this week?

A New Angle
We have overhauled the fishing system to look slicker and give some added gameplay whilst retaining the old system's speed. In addition, the animations are improved, and the aiming system is now a cinch on a gamepad. No more struggling with power selection and diagonals!
The fish have had their AI tweaked too, with fast, medium and slow fish, as well as deep and shallow fish. Our fishy friends may also be scared away by badly timed ripples.
A plethora of skills are also available from Master Twig, including a handy ‘Fish Eye’ skill that will show you hard-to-see fish (perhaps hidden under bridges or behind foliage).

There are still a few things we need to polish off, such as a nice reeling sound and a more satisfactory catch sequence. We can’t wait for you to get hands-on with it, in 1.0.
Until next week, friends,
Love
