Gone fishin'

Gone fishin' is a game where you stack up on the beer and head off to your favorite fishing venues to relax and do some fishing.

"When the wife's been nagging or the kids have been playing up or your day has been getting worse do what i do: Grab yourself a couple of cold beers and mosy on down for some relaxing fishing."

With the right bait and tackle you can catch fish like roach, rudd, bream, pike, carp etc....

In each venue (3) there is a monster fish.. can you hook and catch them all?

All fish caught are returned safely to the water and none were harmed during the making of this game.

There are no time limits or an end to the game: play for 5 minutes or play for 5 weeks

Catch the most fish and get the prestigious AGS Fishermans' Cup.

This game is currently being tested.

Are you actually going to have a game where the player character sits there moaning about how his wife has been moaning at him?!?! 

ANOTHER game... you're quite insane, but that's what I like about you.

That's what it's like when you're married CaptainD! For me it's making games rather than fishing, I tell her she's "Stifling my genius."

Hehe I'm married with two kids mate, I don't think the "stifling my genius" line will help but I'll give it a shot!   My kids are possibly young enough to believe I'm a genius but they'll soon grow out of it...

Ah, so this is that fishing game you were talking about.

I was personally hoping for a little more comedy in it, but that's probably because I find fishing to be a boring hobby.
It looks great though.

Hi guys,

Few more bits added to the game which is coming on nicely.

Waiting for test reports.

In reply:

I myself was married for over 20 years with three boys...

"Stifling my genius."

Not sure that would have worked unless i was bringing in £ zillions

You mean like getting eaten by a huge Pike?

I find fishing to be a boring hobby.

Stick with your knitting, this is a mans' game

Very interesting
can we say this game may teach us patience?

Can we say this game may teach us patience?

Well, in the real world this can very much be the case.

However, if you checkout the in-game files, use a bit of common and any fishing knowledge you have then you shouldn't need to have too much patience

I am still tweaking the Fishing Panels' many variables and function condition combinations...

Hopefully it will be adjusted to suit all players who will get the chance to win the Fishermans' Cup 2016...

Well, in the real world this can very much be the case.

I wouldn't mind if this is the case in the game as well
I could be AGSing while waiting for the poor fish getting caught

The one thing that I always find fascinating about your projects Slasher; is that all the artwork is obviously taken from loads of different places, but when you bring them together, they somehow work!

some are all my doing and some are manipulated.

Thanks for your comments guys, this old boy needs them

All the venues have been restocked and are almost ready to be fished.

Clean your rods and reels, get out your tackle box and sort out your baits and don't forget the vital ingredient: cold beers

What are you tryin' to say

There are only three locations, very tight scripting, basic backgrounds with lots of energy gone into it and you know i work quite fast and never one to procrastinate.

Now, if you had done the backgrounds we would score a whopper

What more can i say except i hope it plays well for everyone who fancy's a spot of fishing.

And maybe you can win the prestigious AGS Fisherman's cup
