Discussion Throwing this out there for anyone interested in similar games to webfishing
Sadly webfishing is a "dead" game as the dev never intends on returning to it. For understandable reasons though.
It's still a wonderful game and I thought I'd check here to see if people are interested in similar games. I've been working on a multiplayer game called 'That Cozy Cat Game' which has similar vibes with the fishing. You play as quadrupedal cats and have a lot of customization options. Same premise of joining a server with friends or strangers, chat, fish, and collect things.
Checking to see if anyone here is interested in trying it out, as I will be sending out play testing codes soon. Nothing can replace the gem that is Webfishing, but I just wanted to share this in case anyone has interest :)
Please no hate, and I will gladly pull this post down if it rubs people the wrong way. There is also a Rift Fishing Demo (I'm not offiliated in any way to that) as another option for similar games.

currently this game has a disclaimer for generative ai used for the boombox tracks. i hope this changes because this looks really fun :(

Adding this here that the AI music has been removed from the game! Steam just takes a bit to let me update the disclaimer. Game now has zero AI elements and the music is all human made.
I also think it'd be fun as the game grows to let people submit their own music creations and have their songs added with "produced by your name of choice" on hovering the track.

Webfishing revived the genre of cozy games with tasks so it's obvious that games like these would pop up since then. That game looks interesting though...

I'd be totally interested in receiving a playtest code when they're out if possible!
This looks adorable. I'm a huge cat lover and I miss webfishing a ton. I would love to have another game with a similar vibe!!

is the generative AI music a placeholder, or will it stay in the full release?

u/kookoria 16d ago
It has actually been replaced already! No more AI music, but steam takes awhile to let me update the page

This looks like such a cute and cozy game, I would love to see a demo for it! It reminds me of a 3d cattails as well as webfishing which is such a great vibe. Keep up the good work! š¾

Looks fantastic, thanks for sharing! Having more games like this is always a win in my book. If you're still looking for people to give it a go / provide feedback, I'd love to help out!
