Thank you for trying this early private playtest.
NETFISHING is currently a local gameplay prototype for a future
multiplayer-first game. Networking and multiplayer are NOT implemented in
this build.
INSTALLATION
1. Extract the entire ZIP into a new folder.
2. Keep the executable and netfishing.pck together.
3. Launch netfishing.exe on Windows or netfishing on Linux.
Windows may show a warning for an unsigned application. This private build is
not code signed. Only run a copy received from the playtest organizer.
Linux users may need to allow execution:
chmod +x netfishing

FISHING
- Hold left mouse to select cast distance, then release to cast.
- The target preview shows whether the selected landing point is fishable.
- While waiting, hold left mouse to withdraw the bobber.
- A bite starts the chase automatically.
- Hold left mouse to advance the green catch meter.
- At barriers, use distinct left-click presses to damage the barrier.
- Do not let the red chase meter catch the green meter.
- Accessibility auto-click can be enabled in Settings.

SAVES AND SETTINGS
Progression and settings are stored in Godot's per-user application-data
directory, outside this extracted game folder. Delete Save removes progression
but preserves settings.
Windows:
%APPDATA%\Godot\app_userdata\NETFISHING\
Linux:
~/.local/share/godot/app_userdata/NETFISHING/
This is an early save format. Keep expectations modest and report any failure
to Continue, save, sell, favorite, or retain an individual fish.
FEEDBACK
Please include:
- Your operating system and whether you used mouse/keyboard or controller
- What you were doing when a problem occurred

- Screenshots or a short recording when useful

controls felt
KNOWN PRE-ALPHA LIMITATIONS
- Multiplayer/networking is not implemented.
