Hey everyone! Welcome to the fourth weekly devlog for Booty Hunter.
This week, Iβm excited to share that the Fishing Minigame is now fully functional!
Let me walk you through everything I worked on:

Before starting a fishing session, you will need to choose three things:
A Fishing Rod
A Bait
A Companion
Each choice will affect your fishing experience in a different way.


π― Fishing Mechanics
After casting the line, youβll wait a set amount of time for a fish to bite.
Once a fish bites, youβll have to react within a short time window to successfully catch it.
Rarer fish take longer to bite compared to common ones.
π οΈ Rod & Bait Effects
The rod and bait you choose will reduce the waiting time for a fish to bite.
They also increase your reaction window, making it a bit easier to catch the fish.
Better rods and better bait = faster bites and easier catches.
π Bait Special Effect
Bait also boosts your chances of attracting higher-rarity fish.
The better the bait, the better your chances of catching rare or even super rare fish.

π©βπ¦° Companion System
Your companion fishes independently while you are fishing.
She has her own bite timer, and her waiting time does not depend on the rarity of the fish like yours does.
Instead, her fishing efficiency depends on:
Her Fishing Traits
Her Fishing Level (which improves each time she participates)
On top of that:
A companionβs higher Fishing Level will slightly reduce your own waiting time, helping you fish faster too!


Now that the fishing minigame is complete, my next focus will be on:
Developing the crafting mechanics
Building the cooking system, where youβll be able to use the fish you catch as ingredients.
Both systems will be essential for the upcoming Version 0.10.
If you have any questions about the fishing minigame, or any suggestions to make it even better, feel free to leave a comment β Iβm always happy to hear feedback!
Thanks again for supporting Booty Hunter.
Every week, Iβm getting closer to making this world even more alive, and I canβt wait to show you everything thatβs coming next.
