Castle Fish Over
Dumbest Idea Yet, But Fun
Castle Fish
I really hope you enjoyed competitive fishing as much as I did. If it wasn’t clear yet it was an April Fools event we designed and created in just 5 days under to concept of competitive fishing. Fighting with only what you catch and capturing flags by fishing. The original concept was centred around two players furiously fishing at the pool of water to kill the other before they died. I achieved that.
This has been one of my “dumber” ideas I’ve had for the server, but it was so silly and absurd it worked. Not well mind you, and there’s plenty I’d change, but for a few days preparation I’m happy with how it turned out. While this event has now been removed and will disappear for a long time, it may not be forever. We will keep the code, so possibly as a special event we may bring it back. Or we might not.
Our next large event is one we run for a whole month and put in plenty of effort. Yes, Spooktober. No hints yet on what as I don’t even know myself! Some suggestions for backrooms to be brought back, we could add more curses, but they’re a full-time feature now too. Personally, I want to try something new and exciting (and obviously scary) so we’ll see.
Bugs
I’ll be the first to say that it was full of bugs, possibly more severe than we usually have for these kind of events. Over the past couple of months we’ve rewritten core parts of Castle Siege and separated some parts into a different “ConwyMC” plugin we can use on other servers. There were all sorts of issues, the typical animation frames causing problems all the way up to data not saving and the server freezing.
However, there is good news! Now we’ve found all these bugs so we can work on fixing them before V4 releases! There’s still plenty to do on the development side so we’ll have to shut for a while still as we keep on working. The weekly Ko-Fi posts are the best way to stay up to date.
Event Winners
After a thrilling play session on Sunday, we have our final winners!
A massive thanks for everyone who played on the Sunday, I really had great fun. I could say loads more but I don’t think I need to.
