The Problem with Self-Found Listing
-
I have a love/hate relationship with 'self-found' listing. There is an
appealing purity to the idea of keeping a list of birds which are all your

ReplyDeleteHow about something like US Bass lure fishing, with different kinds of surface lures (fish, frogs, mice, flies,...), different kinds of rods and reels (baitcasting or spinning, flyfishing…) to choose from, fishing from the bank, or in a boat? To catch a fish you need to i) cast close to the fish; ii) reel it in skilfully (neither too fast, nor too slow, or line will break). Points awarded according to fish species and (trophy) size/weight…. Maybe also angling matches (against other fishermen – played by the computer?) a possibility, as well as different environments (freshwater, sea, tropical,…) with different species of fish.
DeleteI like the idea of competition between all the players, not sure about bass tournament idea though - been done and I'd quite like the new game to be quite British / European.
DeleteYes, for something really British, bring in the tweed brigade: upstream dry fly flyfishing! The character(s) wade in a chalkstream and cast to various game or coarse fish (trout, grayling, salmon,...chub? ...) in front of him/her. Bad/clumbsy casts scare the fish away, so you have to move on to the next spot upstream... Insects flying around give you a clue for choosing the best fly...
DeleteI like the idea of a smooth cast, using the tilt of the iPhone to cast. The longer the line the slower and smoother the action needs to be.
DeleteBigger fish can be further out and more easily spooked.
But I also like the idea of a daily challenge; Today's challenge is to catch the biggest carp... Competitors then have all day to compete for the Specimen Cup (which they then keep on their phone's trophy cabinet).
Probably need to work out the mechanics of the game before the details.
I like the idea of a float fishing game, watching the float dive under next to some lily pads might be good. Loose feeding maggots or groundbait when things go quiet.
ReplyDeleteYeah, was thinking match fishing or fly-fishing, need to keep the game quite short though - app generation, like me, has no attention span!
