Cast your line into calm waters and feel the quiet pull beneath the surface. Each cast brings rewards, but some things you reel in were never meant to be found.

I just don’t know what to say…

1 Jul

Hey,

Remember when, 20 days ago, I casually mentioned that About Fishing crossed 100,000 wishlists?

When I posted that I thought - yeah, this is it. I have all the wishlists I need! (Especially when I think about how three years ago, right before Arctic Eggs came out, that number was 12,000 and I was sweating about it)

Well. Someone has to hold my hand while I say this, but...

About Fishing has over 145,000 wishlists now. This is surreal!

Since the demo went up, it's been downloaded 54,000 times.

Literally 54,000 of you decided to give this little game a shot. Thank you. For your time, your interest, and your support.

Looking at these numbers leaves me without the ability to speak, but this is nothing compared to reading the feedback from the Google Form that you kindly left. All the nice words, all the valuable feedback, all the suggestions. Wow, just wow. Thank you so much for your help 🙏

And by looking at how many people love the turtle, I'd like to announce my next game titled: "About Turtling."

https://store.steampowered.com/app/4362430/About_Fishing_Demo/You know what else happened? Someone made an Instagram reel and posted it with the caption. That reel did 3.1 million views.

That's the kind of thing I didn’t expect when we started cooking this thing with Angel Perez Guzman, Cameron Ginex, and Jonny Doobs.
So, thank you - to the person who made that, and to everyone who's wishlisted, played the demo, or sent it to a friend who probably wasn't expecting a fishing game to unsettle them like that.

Now a few words about the amazing community we're all a part of. I want to give a shoutout to the people who make this place what it is - the ones who show up, contribute, and somehow always find a reason to be a part of it.

Take the trees. Some rando in a Steam News post asked you to share photos from your walks, and you just... did. No real reason, no prize, you just brought them.

(pic totally unrealated)

And then there are the artists. People who took actual time and actual talent and pointed it at this weird little fishing game, just because they wanted to.

So let's get into the fan art.

Game freezes whenever I cast my line.

I made it all the way to the coffin segment, and even got a few tries in, but now whenever I cast the fishing line it freezes (kind of). Where it would normally follow the hook to its landing position it instead leaves the camera on my back and stuck in this static fishing pose. The dithering is still being processed in the scenery, but I'm unable to move, cancel fishing, pull up a menu, or do anything else in the game....

Next Fest started and I have an unusual request. Hear me out…

15 Jun

Hey,

Steam Next Fest is live, and the About Fishing demo is in there. If you haven't played it yet, now's a good time:

https://store.steampowered.com/app/4362430/About_Fishing_Demo/

But…

I have one request. After you're done - you don't have to wishlist.

Just promise me you'll find another demo that looks interesting and give it a go. There are some genuinely great creators in this fest who deserve the attention. Take your time with it.

And then close the laptop and go outside. Find a tree and look at it for a bit. When you are done send me a picture of it [discord.com]

stay hooked.

I opened Steam this morning and I've been staring at it since

11 Jun

Hey, this is going to be a short news, but I just can't hold it.

WOW Thank you. I mean it. Every single one of you.
You have no idea what seeing a reception like this does to the person. Thank you for your trust, your support, and for believing in this project.

And most importantly - none of this would have happened without all the talented people who have contributed to the project so far: Angel Perez Guzman, Cameron Ginex, and Jonny Doobs to name a few

If you haven't played the demo yet give it a go:

https://store.steampowered.com/app/4362430/About_Fishing_Demo/

The demo has its own Steam page now. If you liked it and feel like sharing a review - that would mean the world 🙏 Join an exclusive bunch of amazing 32 players who decided to leave a word or two

Stay hooked.

Game crash

Game crashes when using the crank lure, a fix i found was to discard/delete and buy a new one.

Aquarium 8 fishes

I have put 8 different fishes in the aquarium, but it didn't trigger any cutscene. Is this quest not finished/bugged or I'm just doing something wrong?

tacklebox crash

I'd just retrieved Joshua from his situation and had caught the turtle along with a few other fish. I received the extra storage and decided to rearrange the tacklebox layout, but when trying to finish, my mouse disappeared and I couldn't click anything. It responded to the arrow keys so I was able to select yes and then the game completely froze, no mouse and no keyboard inputs would go through. I waited for a few minutes and the fish started to be returned to the tacklebox but froze halfway through. I'm ...

Deleting items / Equipping items

Hi. I was playing the demo and accidentally deleted one of the items I bought. I was trying to equip the item that adds weight to the hook, but right clicking the mouse right didn't work. I tried pressing other keys until I accidentally pressed ESC and deleted the item. I think it would be nice if there was a confirmation screen like, "Are you sure you want to delete this item?" I'm fishing and selling to buy it again, but I don't know how to equip it. I wanted to give a little bit of feedback on t...
