Fishing suggestion

Fishing suggestion
Posted 2021-04-15 17:20:43 (edited)

Hello friends! Thank you so much for making this game as awesome as it is :) I have a suggestion for fishing (sorry if this isn’t the right form for this!) In fishing, the big “FAIL!” makes my anxiety spike and is a little too strong. Makes me want to cry sometimes, especially if I'm having a rough mental health day. Could we make it a little softer, like “missed it!” or “maybe next time...”?

Thank you so much for considering my thoughts! Have a great day!

Hey, just thought I'd mention it's against recommendation rules to suggest two things at once. Might want to seperate them.

But, otherwise, support both!

Yea, I personally don't mind it but I see no reason for the text to be so bold and in your face for missing a fish. It'd be nicer to have smth more toned done.

I personally like it the way it is.

Support! I personally feel zero anxiety seeing the fail text, but I can definitely see how it can be anxiety inducing for other players as I used to be the same way when I was much younger. How about ''Missed it!'' or ''So close!'' or something along those lines and not such a huge font and text size? It wouldn't be as aggressive as a massive ''FAIL!'' at the very least.

I support! It doesn't make me anxious necessarily, but I do find it annoyingly and needlessly condescending.

Support! Friendlier text is always nice! If it doesn't affect non-anxious players, it shouldn't be too much of a bother to change the text! I love the suggestions for changes to the text already in the thread as well!!

I don't mind the FAIL. TBH, a Missed It! or So Close! is a lot more frustrating and makes me feel worse, like I should have been able to get it. Also, maybe change your font color? I had to highlight it to read it.
