# NETfishing
NETfishing is a multiplayer-first fishing game built with Godot 4.7. The
current pre-alpha includes host-authoritative fishing and economy flows,
freshwater and saltwater habitats, persistent player data, social features,
customization, jobs, and a controller-aware interface.
The project is under active development. Interfaces, balance, content, and
save migrations may continue to change before a stable release.
## Requirements
- Godot 4.7.x with the GL Compatibility renderer
- Linux, Windows, or an Android development environment supported by Godot
- Bash for the repository helper scripts
Open `project.godot` in Godot, or start the editor from the repository root:
```sh
godot --editor --path .
```
Run the game directly with:
```sh
godot --path .
```
## Validation
The validation scripts isolate Godot's settings and application-data roots.
Run the fast, deterministic suite before submitting a change:
```sh
scripts/run_validations.sh quick
```
Additional suites and individual commands are documented in
[`docs/TESTING.md`](docs/TESTING.md).
## Building
Export presets are maintained for Linux, Windows, and Android. Repository
scripts expect the matching Godot export templates and platform toolchains to
already be installed:
```sh
scripts/build_playtest.sh
scripts/build_android_debug.sh
```
Build outputs belong under the ignored `builds/` directory. Release builds
must follow the project's separate tagged-release checklist; these convenience
scripts do not create or publish tags.

detail.
## Authorship and assets
NETfishing is human-directed and uses a mixture of human-authored assets and
software-development assistance. The project records this plainly rather than
claiming that repository history can prove how each line was produced. See
[`CREDITS.md`](CREDITS.md) and
[`docs/ASSET-PROVENANCE.md`](docs/ASSET-PROVENANCE.md).
No project-wide source license has been selected yet. Do not assume permission
to redistribute the source or bundled assets beyond rights stated in their
individual license records.
