About This Title
Video shows the summary, text shows the technical!
These features are part of October 9th's Episode 3 release!
This week:
Fishing
Fish
Fishing
Fishing is a super cool new feature that works wonderfully with the pups. Many games have complicated "Time the hook!" mini-games but I decided to go with a much simpler route: You just need to have the right bait on your fishing rod to catch a particular fish. You also can't grab fish in the water with your hands, they just swim away!
Some fish like the salmon drop 3 fish meat while trout and oscar only drop 1~2.
The great thing about this is that you can also farm fish! Yes! You can have pretty koi ponds built under your house or salmon farms so you can quickly farm food for thousands of pups.
Berries are a new type of food that you will need to forage for in bushes however you can plant them for decorative purposes or to farm them!

Fish are a new type of animal for Episode 3's October 9th release (next Friday at the time of this writing).
Fish need water obviously to breathe, otherwise they die in 10 or so seconds. They flop around if they are on land and they can very quickly flop away if you don't catch them.
They also prompted a redo for animal husbandry. Chickens and pigs no longer breed by just having mud or hay bedding underneath, they now ADDITIONALLY require food once per day, both the male and female. Fish too, they need to be fed to produce overnight. This was done to fix/improve several gameplay features:
1) Pigs kept multiplying in the wild infinitely
2) Incentivizes the player to farm animals instead of just killing them
3) Food is now needed for animals so food is now more important
I haven't done much testing but I imagine the combination of fish farms + water wells will produce some crazy food tech. Very exciting.
Next week is the release of Episode 3!
Stay tuned!
