Fun (+ Minor Bug)

Really neat and fun game. Enjoying it, so far.

I ran into a small bug while playing, though. I'm not sure whrther it's common or not. A fisher left the pond, then cast his line from off the side of my screen, so his line was stretched from off the right of my screen, across the ground, then into the pond.

I should have capped a screenshot, but alas I didn't.

It happened again, and I captured a screenshot this time.

Thank you so much for pointing this out for me! It used to happen a lot, but I thought I sorted it all out. It happening twice is intense lol, I'll work on this immediately.

i appreciate you looking into it.

It seems to happen with a fair amount of regularity. I've noticed it maybe five times over several play sessions today.

I'm struggling to reproduce it. It's weird, because this was a bug that would happen on a few occasions, but I've since seemed to fix it...until your report haha.

I've even fished out entire ponds and no luck catching it. I'll be pushing an update soon that balances the game out, so maybe this update will fix your issues somehow.

Your picture suggests it's happening while they have their line casted out, so that's where I'm looking.

I'll continue to dig in though and hopefully I can find it.

if it helps, it happens randomly after a fisher has started fishing, then decides to move to another spot. They then move far right, off the map, and cast their line.

Its like one of the available fishing spots is off screen, or something.

Then the fish gets stuck when being pulled against the pond side, and jumps back. After this happens a few times, the fisher leaves a negative review, then exits.

This happens frequently for me. It is like, every time I boot the game up, I will see it happen within 3 game days. But, more often, the first game day.

Sorry to bother you again.

But, I noticed a little graphical glitch with the starter fish. They all have a little line in front of them. It flickers, but is most noticeable when highlighting them.
