🙂 Increased the magnitude of the tilt-shift effect, does it make a difference?

A bit more fishing! 😃

Is this lazy posting? 😄
It is a fishing game after all and I'm working on variety for it 🙂

🤔 New week, new tracks!?

This is something i really want to employ, having tracks in the snow that weren't made by the player 🤨

I like this a lot and I think it could be taken even further. For instance with examples and limitations.
One of the most common pieces of advice for new game developers is: “Start small.” But that raises a key question: What does “small” really mean? How do you know if your idea fits?

Me (Oskar) and Olov ( @olov.bsky.social ) did a game jam and the theme was "Restore"

We didn't manage a complete game but are very happy with the results of our game "Wave Strider"

We even won the People's Choice Award for Best Art! 😊

WHITE HOOK RIVER let's you enjoy ice fishing and calming cold snow. But something seems... strange. Anyway, fish, upgrade, chat and explore. You really needed this break from it all. What all? You are...

🎮 White Hook River is planned to have controller support. In fact, I'd argue that it's very important in order to get the retro feeling we're going for. 😃

Almost kind of looks like fishing if you squint your eyes. 🤨
