Fishing Improvements

1 Mar

v0.6.0 provides a huge batch of improvements and fixes. In particular, it makes various improvements to the fishing minigame such as: better UI indicators, a more intuitive central mechanic, and improved star difficulty scaling. Previously, you had to press a series of buttons (depending on the difficulty) to progress the catch meter, but now you just have to hover the hook over the fish. With the improved difficulty scaling, I am still able to provide challenges that I originally planned for higher difficulty fish. There are now dotted lines for the hook and the fish which represent the collision of each. This makes it clear where exactly you need to go to gain catch progress. Lastly, the fish has a progress bar to represent when it will make its next action. Overall, it should be a better experience for mouse/keyboard and controller players alike. I hope that you enjoy it!

\[0.6.0] - 2025-03-01

Added

Added 2 challenges to "Catto's Journey (Demo) - Egg Island"
Added 2 challenges to "Catto's Journey (Demo) - Door to Door"
Added 1 challenge to "Catto's Journey (Demo) - Bird Sanctuary"
Added 1 challenge to "Cattos Journey (Demo) - Forest Den"
Added 1 challenge to "Cattos Journey (Demo) - Scale the Wall"
Added a "Persistent" modifier to enemies in the level editor, which will force them to respawn even after being caught. Should be used when enemies are critical to the level design
Added rotating dashed lines to the hook and fish in the fishing minigame which represents their collision. They will be red and rotating counter-clockwise when they are not overlapped, or green and rotating clockwise if they are
Added a progress bar above the fish in the fishing minigame which will show how close the fish is to its next position, or how long until it moves again

Fixed enemy rage state not being reset when respawning
