Here we go with a brief development news about what's bubbling under at the moment. Well, a good bunch fishing related additions, we can tell you. There will be improvements to some old fishing methods and a completely new form of fishing to be featured. And to have it all done with our desired ambition we'll also feature spawning periods and habitats for the different species of fish. And these can be then taken advantage of with the old and new fishing forms. It's quite a sidetracking, snowballing bunch of additions, but slowly coming together so nicely that we can briefly highlight it already. Now pikes, breams, salmons, trouts and lavarets (at least) will be given their spawning periods and habitats. Gathering of the spawning fish can be then taken advantage of with suitable fishing means. For example pikes will come to spawn in early spring at shallow shoreline waters with rich vegetation. During that time the spearfishing from the shore can be quite succesful. As we know, spearfishing is already an existing fishing method in the game, but now it will become a bit more detailed for example with information given related to ongoing spawning periods and the chosen location.
Ingir proceeds with spearfishing and the game notifies about the chosen location being good considering the ongoing pike spawning period. Lippo is a certain kind of dip net with a very long handle, and it was used in special kind of fishing at rivers and rapids. It is a new fishing tool in the game that can be crafted by the player character, and it will be used in this newly featured form of fishing.
Ingir has arrived at the rapids with an intention to craft herself a lippo. Lippo fishing was practised especially when the certain fish, salmons or lavarets for example, gathered at the rivers to spawn. But lippo can be also used to catch roaming river fish outside their spawning period too. In this fishing method the lippo is casted into the water, down at the bottom of the river, and then moved carefully in order to scoop the fish into its net. The roaming fish in the rivers and rapids will occasionally rest beside the rocks and skerries and these are the locations where lippo needs to be used.
Ingir needed to row with a punt to reach a skerry in the rapids. Maybe there are fish resting behind the neighbouring rocks, she thinks and reaches out to pick up the lippo. Just a quick briefing. There more to this. Stay tuned.
