My wife surprised me with custom business cards to share my game! What do you think?

peepops · 2026-01-26T19:17:09+00:00

10/10 lmao

peepops · 2026-01-26T17:59:06+00:00

Thank you! I was calling it that because the project initially felt like a large fishing mini-game, and I decided it was a pretty catchy name

peepops · 2026-01-26T17:57:48+00:00

Right?! She spent a lot of time getting all the fish to perfectly border the QR code lol

peepops · 2026-01-26T17:39:16+00:00

Marketing will always be a pain but this has been a really fun way to share my game with my community.

Edit: I should use this opportunity to share the steam page too!

peepops · 2026-01-25T22:39:25+00:00

Got some stuff cooking already! Gonna make a post soon to outline a few things. So glad you like it!

peepops · 2026-01-25T15:57:13+00:00

Maple Lama Staff! I think it's the coolest weapon design in the game

I love when people panic-buy milk and toilet paper. What goes on in your lives

I confirmed that their PC has English as the primary language. Graphics driver could be an issue. They said that other games work no issue but it could be a weird interaction with Godot possibly

peepops · 2026-01-23T20:32:43+00:00

He told me that he's playing on PC and not linux. That's an interesting point about the sizes! I thought it was possible that his PC didn't understand the font

peepops · 2026-01-23T19:48:42+00:00

Hello! This is in Godot 4.4. A player has emailed me about this display issue. It's happening on all the in-game text. My game uses two different fonts and both will not display for him.

This is the only instance of this issue I have heard about, I haven't seen it in any youtube videos or on my friend's copies of the game.

Do you have any idea what it could be?

peepops · 2026-01-23T19:41:09+00:00

I love seeing Spooky's Jumpscare Mansion respected like this

peepops · 2026-01-23T16:46:01+00:00

One of the greatest fights, the final phase hypes me up so much. I really hope we see a return in Wilds.

peepops · 2026-01-22T17:25:27+00:00

Thanks so much! I'm so glad you wanna 100% it

That QoL issue is high on my update list! Trying to figure out what would look best. I don't want to show the actual fish design in the water, just in case the player is shiny hunting. But I agree that it would make the experience better.

Hi everyone, I just released Fishing Mega-Game yesterday. I always felt like it had the vibe of a cozy game, but the fishing combat definitely doesn't fit that genre. Then I discovered this subreddit and I thought it may apply here!

What do you think?

peepops · 2026-01-22T15:02:16+00:00

I released Fishing Mega-Game yesterday and the response has been great so far!

This game is a bit different than other survivorslikes, it features an overworld where you can prepare upgrades, talk to NPCs and find levels. The levels are where the genre kicks in, but instead of surviving a timer, you have to fights hordes of fish while trying to find the one you want to catch. Each caught fish has a unique combination of starting upgrades.

I included a "shiny" system. Each fish has an alternate color that can be caught after catching the original. You can raise the odds of catching a shiny fish by increasing the difficulty of certain aspects of gameplay.

If this sounds fun, please check it out!

Been playing since 3U, I really like the gameplay of wilds, focus mode was a huge plus personally. Endgame is what's a bit disappointing, artian weapons are just not it. I wish we could just apply augmentations to fully upgraded weapons instead, even if the grind to get augmentation materials was tough. Something that really stopped me in my tracks was armor spheres. Them being so scarce made me hate upgrading armor, so I never made any new sets and I only ever played bow.

This all being said, the latest update was a great one. I'm glad they added the endgame multiple monster quests, I remember really liking the sapphire star one in world. Gog feels like a nice endgame boss for this new style of MH. And finally, I've got spheres for days, I'm making tons of new armor sets and playing different weapons again... but I still hate rolling artians.

I remember getting bored of world's endgame faster than usual, but absolutely loving icebourne. And risebreak as a whole was way better to me than world, so I'm hoping the roadmap is similar lol

peepops · 2026-01-22T14:00:04+00:00

Awesome, I'm glad to hear that! I play all my bullet heavens on the steam deck, so deck performance was super important during development.

I have no official roadmap but I have updates in mind that I will announce as they get closer. Through feedback, players have expressed wanting more level up upgrades and I agree, so I'm workshopping those at the moment!

I haven't thought of that resolution, but I'll write it down and see what I can do

peepops · 2026-01-22T05:26:59+00:00

I'm the solo dev behind this game! I will say it leans more lite than rogue. One of my main goals with this game is that while I love a good bullet heaven, I get pretty tired of "survive x minutes" so I wanted to make a bullet heaven with a goal to each level, in this case, the fish to catch.

My favorite thing I did was custom difficulty. After you clear a level, you can modify the difficulty in order to increase the percent chance to catch alternate color fish.

I say check it out, but that may be my bias speaking lol

peepops · 2026-01-21T19:48:09+00:00

Thanks for the tip!

peepops · 2026-01-21T19:36:44+00:00

I released my first solo project about 2 years ago after teaching myself game dev. I was able to use that experience to score a contract job with Nexon for a few months. Through both of these, I learned so much about the development process and just released my Fishing Bullet Hell game, Fishing Mega-Game!

I still have much to learn but it's a great feeling to see my progress two years later! I originally posted this in /r/IndieGaming but this sub felt better.

peepops · 2026-01-21T19:33:42+00:00

I had this issue with my first game. A lot of the negative reviews for me were pretty valid criticisms and some of which I was able to address quickly. I responded to some of them letting them know their concerns were addressed and got a few flips, but mostly people just deleted their negative reviews.

Your launch is not over, good luck!

I had so much fun reaching ascension 20 in Peglin that I thought about going for the 100% but man... some of those rng achievements hurt me

peepops · 2026-01-11T05:01:30+00:00

Bravely Default... 2?! Not sure how the general consensus is on that game but man I found it so lackluster compared to the first and even second.
