Fishing Skill ...Buy the rod buy bate ...Catch different fishes e.g Samon the the odd welly the odd ticket ...FisherMen's Trophy also badges e.g Best tidler e.g Experience Fisher e.g Biggest catch and so on ...The odd river ...Pool or pond in various places. We could have just hole's in snow just like the eskimo's have and rent huts. And if wanted to buy little patch to fish in at home. :)

  • I love fishing! I fish in SL, and FB, occasionally in RL. Mostly definitely must fish in Glitch! :>

  • I wasn't sure what they'd do for water graphics, hard to make it look good. However, I think it's called CityVille, some facebook game, its fishing gamelette was the only part of it that I found to be fun.

  • Fishing is always fun. Although, I can't recall ever seeing any large bodies of water in the game. 

    Can Glitchlings swim?

  • You could get a swimming skill...

  • that would be pretty sweet... though.. i think we should just get *Fishies* outta there, And then get a Fish changing machine (With a better name), which you could turn it into other things to cook! :D that would go along with the fruit trees, bubble.. etc, the type of edge the game seems to have already. And instead of gems, we could get.... lets say... Seaweed? or something along the lines of that that we could use for street projects.. Or even making other things with?

  • I'd love a fishing skill :)

  • I have mixed feelings. Fishing is something to do in so many games, just like mining and farming, it's kind of played out.  I would hope for a Glitchian spin on the whole thing.  Like if one street had a big stinky landfill, and one could go fishing in the landfill for all kinds of things, but not fish. 

    There's going to be an oceanside type region at some point, no doubt there will be fishing then.

  • I would love to be able to fish in this game. (one less trip to the vendors to buy fish for cooking :D )
    Would find it hilarious to "catch" an occasional jug of hooch or beer can, too.

    Maybe we could get fishing bait from the gardening plots and tree patches.


    Would also like to be able to "brew" my own alcohol, rather than having to run to the vendors every time I need any. :P

  • I think this is an excellent idea - what about the one in a million chance of being swallowed by a big fish and have a "jonah" style quest to get out?

  • +1 Nanookie - it would have to be really good.

    Not so sure about fish changing. I mean, fish are already food, and it would be repetitive copy fruit changing.

  • Perhaps different areas would have different schools of fish in them - a river with river fish versus the ocean with sea fish?

  • Fishing would be a fun skill. You could eat the fish too.

  • My uncle, when he was a kid, literally fished in a bucket and genuinely believed he was going to catch something.  That's kind of Glitch-like, isn't it?

  • +10 Great idea. I love fishing. I think Oyster and Clams are good for pet!

  • It would be interesting to see this one come into existance. :) Sounds like a winner

  • Fishing seems like a good idea. ?no rivers/lakes in the game?

    Like the random landfill idea too.

  • I love the idea of fishing.

  • Oooh, I love the idea of fishing.  I have spent a good deal of time fishing in animal crossing :)
    Posted 19 months ago by Cabinwood Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Yes! + 100 for fishing! I sure hope it's do-able!
    Posted 19 months ago by PittyPat is sad Subscriber! | Permalink
  • +1 !
    Posted 19 months ago by Kau Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Yep fishing (river and ocean) in Animal Crossing is cool, we made challenges as to who could catch the most in a set time, or a particular fish etc. Fish vary as to time of day and season.
    I also rather like fishing from a boat in Twilight Princess, using different lures for different fish.
    Fishing would open a wealth of options for food and skills, but I rather expect the devs have all this somewhere on their 'to-do' list!

  • Houseboats!
    Posted 18 months ago by Jennyanydots Subscriber! | Permalink
  • +1 for the houseboats! that's a great idea. Maybe a whole houseboat village area?
    Posted 18 months ago by arcturus Subscriber! | Permalink
  • like.

    Salmon's so difficult to get.

  • +100 for fishing in a landfill. I want to fish in a dumpster and catch........ stuff. Rocks, Random Kindness, seeds, hogtied piggies, paper, maybe even the odd juju...... Also, make it a timer, like the Baqala and Choru timers (the timers can say STINKY! instead of over blah blah blah nosta- blah blah).
    ETA: I'd like to fish in a bucket too..... maybe fish WITH a bucket?

    -happy to show support for fishing and seafood once again-

  • This has come up several times.  At one point, fairly recently, Eric said that they actually have plans to put in a fishing game at some point, so hooray!

  • So far none of the creatures in Glitch get caught and directly turned into food. We can nibble pigs and milk butterflies, but we don't actually ever kill and cut up a pig before harvesting the meat. I for one prefer that we don't have kill these somewhat anthropomorphic creatures. I know of course that lots of people feel differently but that type of play in Glitch doesn't really float my fishing boat.

    I love Nanookie's idea of landfill-fishing for all kinds of objects, but i would like there to be a few fish too but instead we can catch them and "kiss" their fishy lips in order to harvest scales (for shoreline building projects) or feed them some fish-food in hopes of gaining a bonus gems, teleportation tokens or fish eggs which could be hatched or used to "grow" caviar (in the same way eggs come from eggplants) for new cooking recipes.

  • What about a Catfish Quest? A quest to gain the wisdom of The Big One.

    Say there are little ponds all over Ur, with the possibility of catching just about anything like KKC suggested. Some useful stuff, some donatable items, some junk that just takes up bag space, but you get scolded by the local flora and fauna if you dump it and litter up their home. (ahem, Freeman, hehehe.) Or you could get a window with just a vague outline of an item, requiring you to choose whether to keep it or throw it back before you see what it actually is, or a gameshow/pick-a-door type event, complete with booby (bean-y?) prizes.

    On the rare occasions that you DO catch a fish, it's a catch-and-release thing, you catch them only to get a hint or the next step of the quest to find The Big One. You have to fish from different ponds to get new clues, encouraging travel.

    When you finally find The Big One, it could be a story like Gwendolyn, or it could grant you an ability (swimming? Aquaman? lol) or a trophy (Roly Poly Fish Heads?) or a specialized tool (a net that catches more items per fishing instance than your fishing pole?). Or something. Perhaps even intermediate rewards (Fancy Free: finely fraternized with fifty-four fishes.) This could be a high-level-only quest, or an ongoing one, to extend developed and structured gameplay into higher levels.

  • Hmm...... I'm thinking you dance with a fish to get salmon fillets, or something like that. 
    *Cues disco music and looks for a fishy dance partner*
    And like chickens, they can carp and complain about how their little fishy tails hurt from all that dancing.

  • @ KkC - i groan and simultaneously applaud the "carp" pun  - i was so hooked you totally reeled me in hook, line and sinker.

  • @TCF, The Glitch version of hook, line and sinker might be rook, mine and tinker.
