About
This is a fishing shopkeeper where you start off in a pile of rubble in this mysterious world, in the hopes of rebuilding and making a large successful shop and fish collection. As you sell fish and build up your personal collection, a town begins growing around you and begins to evolve and level up!
The game is still in alpha development - I plan on posting updates on my steams news/update pages, Discord and Youtube!
I'm a single developer making this while working full time, so this comes out of pure enjoyment of simulator and tycoon games. I also will emphasize that I'm going to be slow with progress at times because I need to manage my full time job and life as well. I won't promise a perfect or super polished game - But I can promise I'm passionate and want to make a fun game for people to enjoy. This is the first time I'm attempting at making my own full game so I appreciate the patience and support!
In rare scenarios you'll get rare giga sized catches, as well as Holographic/Foils that are worth a lot of money (I'm a big fan of trading card games, so snuck in foils!); However they could also be really handy to make your store more attractive for customers, as display pieces.
A part of the games mechanic is collecting and displaying some of your catches - Every unique fish on display improves your stores collection bonus. I want to have TONS of unique fish to find and catch in the future!
One of the main gameplay themes of the game is to collect all the unique fish in the world! I will continue to keep adding in more types of fish into the game
Later on in the game, a grader NPC opens up shop where you can then begin getting your fish graded! This is heavily inspired by Trading Card Games where you get cards graded
This can enhance OR decrease the value of the fish... depending on its quality
Graded fish can be mounted on walls, and stacked on top of eachother on displays so you can amass a bigger collection in a smaller space
Risk Vs Reward: Bait will cost a upfront amount, but gives you a chance at catching better fish! Some bait will be for specific fish in regions, while other bait just overall increases your chances.
Explore the ruins of the 'Old World' and find new fishing spots! I have a lot of ideas planned for future biomes in this strange post-apocalyptic world. I want this world to feel fun to explore and discover!
You'll need to make your shop appealing to the world's wanderers so they move into the area and bring more wealth to afford those big hitters you catch
As you repair and upgrade your shop, others will begin settling into the area as well and begin building, I hope this will make it visually rewarding and exciting to see the area change over time! You will unlock possible NPC's to interact with in the future here.
You'll need to make your shop appealing to the world's wanderers. As you keep upgrading your store, you'll get more floor space and new props/technology to build your store with!
When rainy days happen, different fish become available that you can't find in clear weather!
Place your decorations, furniture, and displays the way you want to! I want to get a nice variety of content for you to make your store layouts interesting and unique.
Even in the apocalypse you can't escape the tax man - The government will fly near your shop every few days to collect payment for helping you rebuild - They want their cut!
I want to actually reward players for decorating, instead of it just being purely for looks! I haven't figured out exactly what 'decor' bonus will give yet, but I'll keep you posted.
Keep your dog fed and happy! I want to make the dog mechanic more interesting in the future (Including maybe choosing a different starter pet). It will be a fun little companion on your journey across this odd world.
I'd love to have a way for you to keep track of all the fish you've discovered, how many you've caught and the biggest weight you've caught!
