Been working a lot on my zeldaesque game recently and implemented a fishing minigame. Finally I'm happy with the results and how it looks.
Edit: Wow, did not expect so much interest. Well, what can I say about the game? It is called Spindle and heavily inspired by Zelda. You play Death and are followed by a small cute pig. You have to figure out why some people are just not able to die anymore and help them find thier peace. Spindle is being created with the open source engine Godot.
Edit 2: Uhm, hello Frontpage. Hello Imgurians. Well, did really not expect this to happen. If you want to learn more about Spindle and why Death is accompanied by a cute pig you can follow me on Twitter: https://twitter.com/spindleDev

Reminds me of my favorite fishing game, black bass on NES

Sounds a bit fishy
ThePerro
+1 for it being a Godot game. I think this engine is gonna really take off for 2D games
ZohanBeefheart
Looks cool as fuck.

A fishing mini game... that's what games are lacking these days.
vsxlarkdyn
Almost all my favorite games have a fishing mini game. But I mostly like open world RPGs that allow me to immerse myself in another world.
MartiniHoeR
i don't mind if it fits the game but i did wonder why so many games feature fishing games? it seems that every game has one nowadays :p

I don't think that's been true since 1997...

I was thinking more "Sonic Adventure"

I can still hear the Chao music from Sonic Adventure 2

Oh god yes. Hammered into my skull.

If you like games with fishing in them, Graveyard Keeper has a lot of it. Highly enjoyable. Played the whole game twice.
IndiaMikeGolfUniformRomeo
It reminds me of stardew!
TeChingo
I thought that cloud shadow was a big ass lunker lol
JHawkInc
I know it’s just a well done shadow, but I wanted him to catch that cloud SO bad. Great work!
UnremarkablyInteresting
Imgur has the most unimaginative game devs around. Everyone just rehashing the same gimmicks.
EliasDoesAThing
You my friend, are a certified ass. Wonderful job
LupusMalevolens
I stumbled upon a "ad post" recently, and got the directions for a tutorial to create an rpg in UE4. These might be their first attempts 1/2
LupusMalevolens
and instead of shitting on their "creativity" maybe input some constructive criticism. Their next game/attempt might do better. 2/2

This is why you don’t get invited to parties Stephen.

I don't play games anymore, but the concept sounds awesome!

This looks suspiciously like an advertisement...
BeckyNosferatu
So? People can be proud of the work they did and make money off it. Since when did that become a bad thing?
tarataqa
OMG, Becky. Get OP's dick outta your mouth why don'tcha!?
EliasDoesAThing
Indie devs often don’t have the budget to by ad space, so they have to get their stuff out any way they can(speaking from experience)

Hey now, the account has been around for awhile /s

It even has the "edit: WOW, this blew up" every single indie post has
bclaudio
I thought you were gonna catch a giant cloud shaped fish
MontequillaTheLastofTheMeheecans
Dood, it's like a minor feature in most games but I fucking love sitting and fishing in any game I can. Will try 100%
GloomyMP
Add a secret level where you use a special bait and the fish shadow gets huge and swallows you up. Then dungeon crawler inside.
Jonnythetrout
I was waiting for the cloud shadow to go for the bait.

Lord Jabu Jabu!
MontequillaTheLastofTheMeheecans
DOOD, that hit me with nostalgia. The music and concept of the water temple is awesome.
MermaidBiologist
Ooh I like this idea
PocketCleric
Call the dungeon Noah's Tomb
ImpossiblePopsicleObstacle
Great idea!! But Noah had the big boat, I think Jonah was the one with the whale. Been a long long time since Catholic school.
PocketCleric
yeah you right, make it a boat INSIDE the whale, Noah's Tomb. THEN have a old guy named Gepeto, confuse the crap out of the story

Fishing for compliments? Well, that looks gorgeous!

Idk, 2ndplayergames, I'm sensing a little bias here lol

Haha, well, I'm following the zelda-like and jrpg scene quite a lot as you can imagine ;)

Spindle. Lil Death. Companion Pig. 10/10
Alphactory
can I have an apprentice named mort?
BozoThePie
At first I thought that she shadow of the cloud was a gigantic fish.
NespreSilver
Same I got anxious when they cast the lure so close...
SpaceNoodleRunner
Very similar in appearance to the Zelda games
EliasDoesAThing
From what I read , it’s inspired by it
SmashingPlatypus
That was my first thought, reminded me of the fishing hole in Link's Awakening from the recent switch remaster.

I'm a maniac for indie games. The low budget forces creativity and gameplay over graphics fidelity.

Artists creative interpretation of irl left to your imagination > poorly acted high res render hyperrealistic uncanny valley characters.
TossABabyYodaToYourWitcher
I'm ngl, every indie game that gets posted here looks the exact same. The only one I can actually remember by name is Cloudpunk
SuperIncoherentRantingMan
Have you ever played Dwarf Fortress?
likethesandwich
I am tired of these mundane sports games or versions of COD that sre just a revamp of the graphics
Naramumu
Half of my game library consists of indie games. Temtem, Ooblets, Stardew Valley, Starbound, just to name a few.
IDontKnowWhatToDoAnymoreAndImTired
Right? I mean okay, technically impressive, but have you tried adding gameplay? 90% of games are the same 2-4 games over and over again.
pareidoliaperson
There's honestly nihil to very minuscule significance of a hyperrealistic render environment. We're trying to escape that buddy.

can you pet the pig?
SpindleDev
Not sure if the pig wants this. It's a bit sarcastic

What's the name of the game?

Does it mean anything to you?

Game is called Spindle

I love games like this and love fishing in games for some reason. Always maxed out fishing before other skills in MMOs

Do you have a steam page so I can add this to my wishlist?
