Mechanics

Overview​

Fishing in Cast n Chill involves casting your line, attracting fish with lures, and reeling them in. Each fish has unique behavior determined by its speed, stamina, vision, and hearing stats.

Fish Behavior​

Fish are governed by several stats:

  • Speed: How fast the fish moves (1-5 scale)
  • Stamina: How long the fish can fight (1-5 scale)
  • Vision: How far the fish can see (1-8 scale, higher = more easily spooked)
  • Hearing: How well the fish can hear (1-5 scale)

Fight Mechanics​

When hooked, fish go through fight, chase, and flee phases. The struggle system uses an increase rate and decrease rate that varies per fish.

Growth Curves​

Fish size, weight, value, and length are determined by growth curves with average, minimum, and maximum values. The pivot value determines the distribution shape.

Lure Attraction​

Fish are attracted to specific lure types. Each lure has bonus fish species that are more likely to bite. When a fish is hooked, other nearby fish may also be attracted.

Trophy Fish​

Each fish species has a trophy size threshold (expressed as a percentage). Catching a fish above this weight earns a trophy achievement.

Legendary Fish​

Legendary fish are the rarest and most valuable catches. They have a long respawn delay of 20 hours (72000 seconds).
