Gone Fishin’ An iGDD Production

About Gone Fishin’ • We set out to create a whimsical fishing game. • Players would be able to move around on a map and select where to fish. • The game was to be a loose translation of Laura Vandivier’s fishing game.
How to Play • Players move their boat on an overhead map to where fish appear. • When fishing, players land the fish by correctly completing a rhythm sequence. • If a player waits too long in the rhythm sequence, the fish escapes.
About the Fish • There are four sizes of fish in the lake. • Small • Medium • Large • Huge! • The bigger the fish, the longer the rhythm sequence.
Design • We wanted more interaction than random number generation to determine whether the player caught a fish. • After many ideas, we decided to use a rhythm-based style where the character would have to reel in the fish by correct button presses.
More Design • We decided to make the fish appear in different sections of the lake, otherwise the player may never move from the starting position. • Much like with real fishing, when the game ends you see how many fish you caught and how large your biggest one was.
Development • Implementation would come first. • Making it look pretty would come later.
More Development • The game has two fundamental player-interactive sections. • Moving on the overhead map • Fishing with the rhythm sequence
Overhead Map • The overhead map was done using a collision map with an overlaid image of a lake. • The boat was then drawn on the map using a sprite sheet. • Fish and other objects would appear randomly on the map.
Rhythm Fishing • A series of pre-defined rhythm sequences were used. • The player would have a timer for the rhythm sequence. • If the timer expired, the fish would get away. • If the player caught the fish, they’d find out its size.
