[Release] A Simple Fishing World!

The world is now out and fully functional!

Thank you everyone for playing!

I think it hit like 1.5k players at one point! That's honestly crazy! I never expected it to get that much love from people!

But the crashing/freezing issue was a bit disappointing to me. I can't believe I never noticed it until it went live. And it was particularly nasty to figure out where it came from. I had to stop searching and just spend the entire week just rewriting and setting the project up again. Thankfully that helped fix it! No more crashes or freezing!

For the future, I will first fix any remaining smaller issues and add more convenience options, for example people who only can use one hand. I also have some content updates in mind. Either a few new fishes or more ways to progress! Maybe VRChat will release saving of data at that poitn, so you can also keep progress and highscores when rejoining! That update will be after all the Halloween stuff though.

For now, I'll participate in the Spookality 2024 event that VRChat is hosting. I have a fun idea I always wanted to try that also fits the criteria very well. It will be a small PvP mini game where some players become monsters that hunt the others. I'm not sure if it will be good, but competitions like these are always a good excuse to try out a new concept.

Oh, and I have not forgotton about the Prompt or Die Halloween update. I'll get to it this week, at most start of next week!

Thought I should at least do an update here, which I forgot due to being busy during the release. Honetly, I said in my last post I would be working on a Hot Potato world. And I did! But then I did a playtest with my VRchat group and it opened my eyes, a little. The mechanics weren't that great yet and the map was like 20% finished, but people were already having fun. It made me think about my fishing world. I thought to myself, why not just release it now? Just put in some time to finish it up and make it playable! So I did that. Lo and behold, people loved it even though it's far from what I wanted to do with it initially. Anyways, I'm oversharing like usual but I like putting in some context to what I do.

That's it from me for now. In the meantime, enjoy the fishing!
