Released: Ice Fishing Derby 2

PaulH

Ice Fishing Derby 2 has released!

It's my first full-3D Gideros game. In Bass Tourney Challenger I use the 3D system to pose models and generate 2D sprites before game play started, and in Fly Fishing Simulator HD I use 3D with instanced primitives to build feathers and hair in a virtual fly tying module, but the main game loop is still 2D. This time everything is 3D, and that's been an adventure.

I'd love for you to check it out, and I could really use some more reviews on the app stores!

Thanks to everyone here for your support, great discussions, helpful answers, and @hgy29 for all the improvements to Gideros!

very well done Paul 💕
just one quick question: r u using reactphysics3d plugin?

PaulH

No, no physics plugin. There's not much need for it, though there are a few physics details I suppose it might have helped with, like a lure or fish swinging on a line under a rod tip. If I turn off the limitation keeping players from leaving the lake on their snowmobiles and let them ride all over the hills I think I'd want something like that to manage the physics.

Not a bad idea by the way There can be some rare lake locations with a rare fish spawns which can be only accessible by driving through harsh environment or maybe snow walking and camping equipment is needed and so on...

I am downloading now and will surely write a review. Great work as far as i can see from the youtube video.

My congratulations.

Thank you! For now I'm restricting travel to the lake (or elevations very close to the surface elevation) but it could be a fun exception, almost an Easter egg, to have a smaller pond near the lake that a player could get to that has outstanding fishing.
