Gods of Angling

Gods of Angling is a "Tamagotchi-like" Idle Fishing RPG!
For those who maybe spend more time in the character creator, theorycrafting, or rolling alts than actually playing the game, this one is for you. And hey, it can run in the background no problem when you inevitably reroll in your favourite game for the third time this month. Gods of Angling runs in a low profile 4:3 window and utilizes extremely low system resources.

Deep Stat Tracking

True Idle Gameplay
Many idle games advertise themselves as idle, but get gated or stuck if you don't consistently interact with them, or have degenerate gameplay loops that incentivize silly behaviour or are flooded with microtransactions. Gods of Angling aims to be a truly idle game that can run (at very low system resource utilization!) in the background as a Tamagotchi-like experience while you do anything you like. The player can engage with the game how and when they like and drive autonomous behaviours through policies and settings. In keeping with this vision of providing a user-friendly experience, your character will even sleep when you sleep!

Rich Theming System 
Inspired by the class SNES game of my namesake, the user interface colour theme is highly customizable to provide an experience that suits your individual needs whether preference or accessibility. Change your theme in a moment, whenever you like improve your experience. Delicious themes are available beyond the default "Oreo" theme. Why not give Blackberry, Coconut or Mint a try? There are many tasty options to choose from to customize your experience and visual preferences.

Pricing and Monetization
Gods of Angling is free! It is a free game, and it will never contain aggressive or pay-two-win microtransaction mechanics. The Founders Edition DLC provides access to additional hero races & classes and themes. The DLC is optional, and never in-your-face or unfair. This is a promise!
