Kaiju Fishing - Pre Alpha Demo
THE BIGGER THEY COME...
This week at Mutant, we go for a ride!
Weekly Dev Update #24
Week of September 28, 2020
This week at Mutant… we’re getting dragged. Literally. Medium fish are off and running - check out this Clampjaw taking us for a ride!
MEDIUM FISHING
The step up in size and power from small fish to medium fish should be immediately obvious. We’re building a world of monsters and they get bigger real fast. Medium fish are the first step into a larger system. As part of the set-up, we spent a decent amount of time working on their movement. This involved putting a little polish on the point system we showed the other week - y’know, this one:
Well we thought it was obvious... Anyways, this is the basic system for how we can set up our levels to let medium fish guide you around the map. When you hook a medium fish, we grab a series of points within a certain distance. The fish will choose paths and move between these points - including some custom paths. It’s a really amazing system for pathing that we can use on medium and large fish, as well as NPCs that wander the world. We'll be adjusting the range of points and their location so they don't drag you too far; we don’t want fishing to take you all over the entire map so you're inconvenienced while you're exploring.
There’s still more to be done with medium fishing, including building our attacks and adjusting the speed and camera, but we’re thrilled to show off this first look. Hopefully you’re excited to see what comes next too!

That's all for now. We have more in the works and will share more as it comes. Be sure to share the game with your friends to get the word out about KAIJU FISHING. As always, thanks for reading! Stay safe out there. <3
