After their chill fishing game peaks at more than 20,000 concurrents, dev reveals they thought "maybe like 100 people would play it ever"
Indie magic strikes again

We😼bfishing is the latest game to take the indie scene by stor꧑m, and its creator had their expectations blown away completely.
It's a cozy fishing game with 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Animal Crossing vibes. You pla꧋y as a cute critter and wander around a soothing forest of a calm beach and cast your rod into the waters hoping to catch some fish. Developer West tweeted that they "figured MAYBE like 100 people would play it e𒉰ver- but here we are!" A month after release, the peak concurrent player count is almost 25,000.
West expressed "a heartfelt thanks for all of the suppor෴t and attention y'all gave this silly project" and promised they have "loads of ideas for co🔯ntent and systems I'd love to rework/make feel better."
Replies inclu🐻de, "Thank you for my GOTY," "the goat," and🌼 "Thank you for making my new favorite game," so it's safe to say fans are happy with Webfishing.
its been a MONTH (?!?!) since webfishing launched and i just really wanted to say a heartfelt thanks for all of the support and 🐷attention yall gave this silly project. I can truely say I figured MAYBE like 100 people would play it ever- but here we are!
Despite presenting itself as a cutesy, social, fishing sim, sweaty players have already 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:discovere🍌♋d incredible movement tech in Webfishing. There are clips of players using their adorable cat or dog avatars to jump on springy mushrooms, soar high into the sky, 🗹and then land on rocks out in the ocean or in the middle of﷽ lakes and rivers.
I've not played Webfishing yet, so I don't know what benefits, if any, these fisꦓhing spots offer, but you have to admit it does look pretty cool when people can pull stunts like that off, especially in a game that doesn't seem designed around them.
