Thank you to everyone who helped me swimmingly progress through the game creation process. Scroll to see how Fishing for Compliments came to be!
May 2023
The very first playtest.
July 2023
The second playtest, after working out some kinks from the first playtest.
Made some adjustments and had my first family playtest a few days later.
Then some of my high school friends graciously tried out the game, in two separate groups. Below is the first group.
And here’s the second group.
August 2023
Next was time for college friends to give it a try.
November 2023
By Thanksgiving 2023, I solidified the gameplay with this lively group!
July 2024
After spending the next several months working on the legal, art, and manufacturing parts of the process, the first game sample arrived!
I was eager to try out the sample with friends. Such a fun time!
November 2024
I made a few small tweaks to the game, then received a final sample a few months later.
Of course, I was eager to try this version too. After two more playtests, I was excited to produce the game in bulk.
Finished Product!
