From Food Truck to Fishing Cat: A New Idle Game Idea!

Hello and welcome to my new game development journey! 🎣🐱

This game started from an idea I had for a Food Truck Simulator—a game where players would learn how to start a business while showcasing Filipino food. But as I explored different mechanics, I stumbled upon a Discord fishing bot, and an entirely new vision hit me:

💡 What if a humble cat starts fishing and slowly helps rebuild an entire town with his earnings?

I imagined cute cartoony visuals—a small cat fishing by a river, with towering buildings behind him, symbolizing how his efforts transformed the town. With that in mind, I started designing key features:

Planned Features

🎣 Core Gameplay – Fishing as the main loop. 
🧊 Inventory Management – Limited space for fish in an ice cooler.
🎽 Equipment System – Costumes & fishing rods with stat boosts.
🏡 Town Hall – Buy and build structures, unlock new biomes.
🍽️ Seafood Restaurant – Mini-quests and NPC requests.
🐠 Aquarium – Collect and display rare fish.
🔬 Aquatic Research – Discover relics and new species.
🏛️ Aquatic Museum – Preserve relics and special finds.
⛵ Fishing Guild – Automate fishing and treasure gathering.
💎 In-Game Store – Upgrades and progression-based purchases.
and many more...

Many of these ideas come from my experience as a mobile game designer. I’ve researched what makes games profitable, but this project will help me test and refine those ideas in a real game.

I hope this game will be fun, engaging, and rewarding—both for players and for me as a learning experience. 🚀 Stay tuned for more updates!
