Lecture Content

What's New?

• The fish has been retextured in order to look more like a fish and less of a black colored sphere.
• When fishing, the fish can now observe (or look at) the bait when it's within close proximity.
• The spawner now functions as intended without any more errors.
• The catch system had been fully implemented. Now when the player catches a fish the following occurs;
  • The camera pans towards the player's face.
  • The player showcases what fish they've caught.
  • UI pops up on the screen to notify to the player what type of fish they've caught.
• There are now 3 different types of fish that the player can catch.

Creative Requirements

• When implementing the UI system I went ahead and attempted to match the colors of the original UI with the recreated one.
• The fishes that the player shows to the camera are the sprites of the original ones taken directly from the reference game.
• I implemented a randomizer that randomizes what fish can be summoned every 10 seconds and where it should be summoned.
• The player now supports arms used to hold the fishing rod and any fish they've caught.
• I also attempted to time the fishing catch time with the one from the reference game.
