Extremely impressive, that you have made a working boat alongside a water system and wind mechanic. Unfortunately, the core gameplay is extremely hard (to understand?). Played it for ~5 min and didnt catch a fish or get money once.

Thanks so much! Yeah, we spent a lot of our time on the water, wind, shaders, etc. and definitely didn’t end up getting enough UI/tutorials in for explaining the core gameplay loop.
So, to catch a fish, you basically need to “park” on a fishing spot. You align your sail with the wind to sail around, and then un-align it to slow down/stop on top of a fishing spot so you can do your fishing.
The intention was to have the storm slowly catch up with you, so that you need to balance your time, but for now you can kind of spend as long as you want fishing (at least until the waves push you out of the fishing spot or into a rock).
