Note: This forum is in association with @novel oracle's #1120790579329122304 forum and @sleek zephyr's #1120394592265719950 forum. Im well aware that we have Call of the Wild: TheAngler, but what if we got a game where we could rod fish/spearfish for extinct marine life? Just like the previous forums mentioned, the idea of any new game in general is a huge long shot, and this is coming from someone who would love a new game that takes place in prehistoric times. However, if we all work together, we can show EW that we want a new game, and they could maybe make one in response. Anyone can leave their ideas for maps and animals down below, but for the game name, I think the best option would be TheAngler: Primal

This sounds on incredible

agreed

imagine sailing on a boat over the oceans of the Cretaceous, then you dive into the water with a harpoon and take out a Xiphactinus. with this game, just like the other prehistoric game ideas, there is so many possibilities

i'll make some map ideas in a little bit

turbid pebble
#

so here's the ideas i have for the "weapons" and gear in this game:

Weapons:
Nets (Class 0): Nets would be used on extremely small animals, such as Cambrian animals and so on.
Fishing Rods (Classes 1 - 4): Fishing Rods would be used on a wide variety of animals, mainly small and medium sized fish, and would most likely the most popular "weapons" in the game.
Heavy-Duty Fishing Rods (Classes 5 - 7): These large rods would be used on large fish, small sharks, small marine reptiles, and other marine life in this size range.
Harpoon Guns/Spearguns (Classes 8 - 10): These weapons would be used on large sharks, extremely large fish like Xiphactinus, Saurodon, and etc., and large marine reptiles. They would be some of the most expensive weapons in the game, and would most likely be end-game weapons

Gear:
Scuba Gear: This gear is the only way you would be able to go underwater, and to a greater extent, be able to use Harpoons/Spearguns.
Boats: The game could feature many kinds of boats, whether it be tiny Kayaks, Bass Boats, or giant Sailboats.
Bait/Lures: Perhaps the most important gear in the game, baits and lures would be necessary in order to rodfish, and the game would feature thousands of baits and lures. you could also use fish you catch as bait for larger fish.

# turbid pebble so here's the ideas i have for the "weapons" and gear in this game: ------------...

here's also the classes

Class 0: This class would be for tiny animals such as Anomalocaris and many other Cambrian animals, as well as small cephalopods like ammonites and baculites
Class 1: Extremely small fish like Sacabambaspis, Knightia, and Pentanogmius
Class 2: Small fish like Enchodus
Class 3: For this class, it really depends on the size of the animal to determine whether it's in this class. Basically, fish around the same size as say Pachyrhizodus would probably go in here
Class 4: Medium sized fish such as Gar
Class 5: Large fish like Gillicus
Class 6: Small sharks
Class 7: Small marine reptiles
Class 8: Medium sized marine reptiles, sharks, and large fish
Class 9: The largest of fish, large marine reptiles, and large sharks
Class 10: The largest of extinct marine animals, such as large Mosasaurs, Megalodons, Leedsichthys, and etc.

If they make this a realistic game, there should be something involving the land and or air animals of the time depending on the time zone. Or if all time zones are put into one some lore how and if an absence of aerial and or terrestrial predators there should be explained how. Im not saying i want guns in the game, but having flares to deter pteredons attacking you or stealing your fish from your boat adds a new dimension to the game.

got a new idea for this potential game, and this time, it's for a kind of lodge customization!

Aquariums

Details

Aquariums really need no introduction, so I will only explain how they'd work in this potential game

In the game, if you would want to perhaps keep a certain trophy fish/animal you really like alive instead of taxidermizing it or just releasing it, you could capture it and put it in an aquarium! What kinds of aquariums that'd be in lodges would depend on what kind of lodge you'd have. If you had a lodge that would be a house with only a few tanks, then you'd only be able to put a few class 0 - 3 animals in said tanks, but if you had a lodge that would be comparable to a giant aquarium you'd visit, then you could put class 0 - 7, and potentially even 8, 9, or 10 animals in your aquariums

You could also customize your aquariums to look however you want them too. Want a small aquarium with a few ammonites in a small coral reef? You'd be able to make it. Want an extremely large aquarium with a lot of fish, some sharks, 1 - 2 small mosasaurs, and a giant tunnel you could walk through to see them? You'd be able to make it. Depending on how customization of lodges would work in this game, you could potentially put these aquariums wherever you want too. If you wanted a huge aquarium in your lodge's ceiling, you could probably be able to do that. If you want a wall of your lodge to be another giant aquarium, you could probably do that. Basically, just like the lodge possibilities for TheHunter: Primal and Call of the Wild: Primal game ideas, the possibilities for the many aquariums you could make would be endless

Trophy Lodges and Mounts

Details

A prehistoric fishing game can offer thousands of different possibilities for trophy lodges and trophy mounts. This idea will explain of these several possibilities

Trophy Lodges
This game would offer players with several different trophy lodges, several based off of both real-life trophy lodges and museums. Is the player an avid real-life angler/fisherman? They could have a small log cabin with a few small mounts. Is the player a museum curator or has some other job at a museum? They could have a giant museum-like lodge that could fit several large multi-mounts. The possibilities are pretty much endless, and the many different designs players come up with their taxidermies and trophies would be quite fascinating to see

Trophy Mounts
Depending on the lodge, trophy lodges can have several different types of mounts, from small mounts that can fit an ammonite or , to giant multi-mounts that can fit multiple mammoths or giant ground sloths. Here's several of the mounts that the game could have:
Returning Mounts (Mounts in TheHunter: Call of the Wild):
Wall Mounts
Floor Mounts
Table Mounts (The small circular mounts that are on tables and shelves in the current lodges)
New Mounts:
Ceiling Mounts: "Mounts" that would be tight strings/ropes that hang from lodge ceilings. These would make it seem like your taxidermies are swimming
Aquariums: See my "Aquariums" idea for more details (#1121138205656367258 message)
Scenery Mounts: Giant mounts that can fit multiple animals, like the giant displays you'd see at a Cabela's or Bass Pro Shops

Below are images showing what I'm talking about, including both taxidermy displays and museum displays

#

Trophy Types

Details

This suggestion will add onto my previous suggestion about the different types of trophy lodges and trophy mounts that could be in this game, with this suggestion talking about the many different kinds of trophies that you could put in said lodges

Normal Trophies
Normal trophies are taxidermies of fish and other marine animals you'd see in real life, which are full body mounts

Fossils
Fossils really need no introduction, so I won't explain what they are. In the game, fossils could be randomly "generated" and found on maps. However, the kinds of fossils that can be found on each map would be a bit restricted to both time and location. For example: You can't find a Tylosaurus fossil in a map that takes place in the Late Jurassic, as Tylosaurus didn't exist during or before the Late Jurassic. However, you could find a Tylosaurus fossil on a map that takes place in the Late Cretaceous, as Tylosaurus lived during the Late Cretaceous. Fossils could range from small fragments of teeth to complete skeletons

Collectibles

Details

Collectibles are a kind of decor that could be added to trophy lodges in this hypothetical game idea. Collectibles are things you would find out in the environment while you're fishing, and if you find them interesting, then you can bring them back to your lodge and put them on display. The kinds of collectibles you would find on a map would depend on what map you're on, just like the fossils you could find on maps. Collectibles differ from the fossils that I put in my "Trophy Types" suggestion, mainly because fossils would work as trophies in this game (ANIMALS FOSSILS WOULD BE TROPHIES. Plant fossils would be collectibles).

The kinds of collectibles that would be in the game include, but are for sure not limited to the following:
Plant/Static Animal (Coral, Echnoids, Crinoids and etc.) Fossils
Shark Teeth
Dead Coral
Shells from animals that recently died (Cephalopod shells and etc.)
Rocks/Stones
Gems/Gemstones, and other Minerals (Diamonds, Quartz, Sapphires, and etc.)
Driftwood

Depending on how lodge customization would work in this game, you could use the collectibles you could find on hunts to spice up your trophy mounts. For example, if you found a piece of driftwood while fishing, then you could turn it into a mount with a full-body taxidermy of a extinct freshwater fish, or maybe you have a Tylosaurus mount you really like that you want to spruce up, then you could maybe get some coral and put them on the mount. Maybe you found a bunch of shark teeth on a map and you want to put them with a Megalodon mount, you'd be able to do it. The possibilities are endless

Sea of the Giants

Details

Location: Somerset, England, United Kingdom (Europe)
Climate: Vast open ocean. Very deep most areas. Due to this, it is home to large marine animals like the Lilstock Monster
Datation: Late Triassic epoch, Triassic period, 203 million years ago
Side Note: This map gets its name from the Lilstock Monster, a giant Triassic ichthyosaur that may have been bigger than the Blue Whale. It is present in the map's roster. The "Giants" of the Sea of the Giants is a reference to this map's population of Lilstock Monsters

Species List:

  1. Synechodus rhaeticus (Class 3)
  2. Sargodon tomicus (Class 4)
  3. Saurichthys longidens (Class 4)
  4. Birgeria acuminata (Class 4)

Hațeg Sea

Details

Location: Hațeg, Hunedoara County, Romania (Europe)
Climate: Warm coastal seas. A few small islands along with the coast of the giant Hațeg Island. Smaller islands have very similar conditions as my Hațeg Island idea for Call of the Wild: Primal #1120790579329122304 message
Datation: Late Cretaceous epoch, Cretaceous period, 66 million years ago
Side Note: There's some speculation with this map idea, since several animals on this list haven't actually be found in Romania, but rather surrounding countries and other European countries, which means they could've possibly lived in the seas surrounding Hațeg Island. The "Hațeg Pycnodont" is also a little speculative, and is based off of the fact that we have a few pycnodont remains from the Maastrichtian. It's also inspired by the Pycnodonts in the 1st episode of Prehistoric Planet's 1st season

Species List:

  1. Diplomoceras cylindraceum (Class 0)
  2. Pseudokossmaticeras galicianum (Class 0)
  3. Hațeg Baculites (Baculites sp.) (Class 0)

Submarines

Details

Submarines really need no introduction. In the game, submarines would be for underwater exploration and catching marine animals that aren't near the water's surface, something that boats aren't able to do (I'll eventually make an idea for boats). Submarines would be able to go into some of the deepest parts of the ocean; thousands of feet below the surface. The game would offer different kinds of submarines for players, mainly for serving different purposes or just player preference. Submarines would be usable on all maps, but some maps would be specialized for submarines (ex: maps with a lot of deep sea animals). Submarines could have added compartments and features that allow them to specialize in catching certain marine animals (some could have nets, others traps, and so on).

Below are images of real submarines and images of submarines from other media that could inspire some of the submarine designs in the game

Maastrichtian Deep

Details

Location: Atlantic Ocean
Climate: Vast open ocean. Extremely deep throughout the entire map, with some parts getting as deep as 2,000 meters. Pretty warm, but a little bit cold due to ocean winds
Datation: Late Cretaceous epoch, Cretaceous period, 66 million years ago
Side Note: Species 1 - 3 as well as species 7 are all speculative and we have no evidence of their existence. They're based on the fact that we have fossils of these animals from either around or before this time (This is how a lot of my suggestions with deep sea animals are going to be like because we have little to no fossils of deep sea marine life). A submarine is heavily recommended for this map

Species List:

  1. Atlantic Maastrichtian Comb Jelly (Ctenophora indet.) (Class 0)
  2. Deep Sea Maastrichtian Jellyfish (Scyphozoa indet.) (Class 0)
  3. Maastrichtian Sea Nettle (Chrysaora sp.) (Class 0)

Climate: Warm tropical coastlines. Near the coastline, kelp forests are dominant, but as you move away from the coast, it starts to become open ocean
Datation: Late Cretaceous epoch, Cretaceous period, 66 million years ago
Side Note: This idea is connected to my Call of the Wild: Primal and TheHunter: Primal ideas of the same name, which you can find here respectively: #1120790579329122304 message #1120394592265719950 message. Species 1 and 2 are also speculative

Pisco Coast

Details

Location: Department of Ica, Peru (South America)
Climate: Warm tropical coastlines. Underwater environments near the shore are mainly seagrass meadows, but as you get farther from the shore, it becomes open ocean. There's also a section of open ocean that's very deep, so a submarine is recommended for that deep area
Datation: Miocene epoch, Neogene period, 7.3 million years ago
Side Note: Species 1 is speculative. Species 2 and 3 are real, but haven't been found in the Pisco Formation, and their inclusion in the map idea is purely speculative. Fights between Megalodon (Otodus megalodon) and Livyatan melvillei can occur due to their similar ecological niches, but they are rare

Species List:

  1. Miocene Comb Jelly (Ctenophora indet.) (Class 0)

Kem Kem Delta

Details

Location: Tafilalt, Morocco (Africa)
Climate: Warm floodplains with several river systems. Inside of the delta is tropical and humid environments dominated by plant life, but outside of the delta is arid desert that contrasts heavily with the inner floodplains. This sort of ecosystem is very similar to that of the saharan section of the Nile River in the modern day
Datation: Late Cretaceous epoch, Cretaceous period, 98 million years ago
Side Note: Spinosaurus aegyptiacus is an ambient species on this map, and could sometimes be seen along the sides of rivers going on with their daily commute. Since this is a fishing game, it obviously can't be hunted, but it can be hunted on my Kem Kem Beds map idea for Call of the Wild Primal: #1120790579329122304 message

Species List:

  1. Serenoichthys kemkemensis (Class 1)

Point Nemo

Details

Location: Southern Pacific Ocean
Climate: Vast open ocean. Can get a little cold but still fairly warm. The water is extremely deep and it can take a while to reach the ocean floor
Datation: Miocene epoch, Neogene period, 6 million years ago
Side Note: Point Nemo is a designated point on Earth that is the farthest point away from land. In our world today, Point Nemo is located in the south Pacific. While the Point Nemo 6 million years ago was likely in a different location, the map will still remain in the same location as Point Nemo in the modern day, just 6 million years in the past. The inclusion of a few species on this roster are a little speculative, since not many fossils are found in the middle of the ocean. There's a few speculative species too because of this, those being species 1, 3, 4, 5, and 6 and are based on the fact that fossils of closely-related taxa from either before or during this time have been found. A submarine is recommended for this map

Species List:

  1. Miocene Comb Jelly (Ctenophora indet.) (Class 0)
  2. Moon Jellyfish (Aurelia aurita) (Class 0)
  3. Deep Sea Miocene Jellyfish (Scyphozoa indet.) (Class 0)

Trophy Lodge Presets

Details

While players would be able to customize/build/create their trophy lodges any way they want, the game could offer several trophy lodge presets for those who don't want to spend time creating their lodge. These are the trophy lodge presets I have in mind for TheAngler: Primal.

Surfer's Lodge
The Surfer's Lodge would be a small beach cabin located on a tropical beach. This lodge is for those who love saltwater fishing. The lodge would only have a few mounts, as well as a few small aquariums. Images 1 - 3 below show what the lodge would look like.

Aquarist's Lodge
The Aquarist's Lodge would be an extremely large lodge akin to that of a public aquarium. This lodge is for those who love aquariums. The lodge would have a lot of mounts due to its large size, but that's not the main focus of the lodge. The lodge's main focus is the many large aquariums and tanks inside of it, which you can fit hundreds to potentially thousands of fish and other marine animals. Images 4 - 6 below show what the lodge would look like.

Paleontologist's Lodge
The Paleontologist's Lodge is a large lodge similar to that of a natural history museum. This lodge is for paleontology enthusiasts. The lodge would likely have multiple floors, though not as much as the Sportsman's Lodge. While any kind of trophy could be put in this lodge, European/skeletal mounts and fossils are recommended for this lodge the most to create the museum feel. Images 7 - 9 below show what the lodge would look like

Lore/background idea
Growing up you could never escape the sea. Your father would always take you fishing, as you would never stop begging him to let you go back to the ocean with your trusty rod. It remained this way until… it happened. It was another sunny, cool day in renso (fictional hometown, maybe?) Your father caught something large on his line and told you to step back. That’s when a massive beast erupted from the water. Your father held onto his rod for dear life as the beast grabbed his catch and proceeded to drag your father through the air, until it slammed him down into the water, dragging him into the depths. You ran back into town bawling, yelling “Help! Help! There’s a monster in the water! Father’s been dragged down with it!” Nobody believed you until the village elder spoke, saying that what you have seen could only be a prehistoric creature. Now, you have become a paleontologist, a fanatic, and what some might call crazy, desperate for revenge. Armed with an array of fishing tools, equipment, and spearguns, as well as your trusty submarine, you delve into the depths, determined to mount whatever beasts you encounter to the wall of your lodge, and gut the creature that killed your father all those years ago.

#

I was thinking something like the movie “The Meg” in which the Mariana trench has a false bottom and prehistoric creatures flood out from it

#

Could set up for some boss animals too

turbid pebble
#

bosses aren't needed considering this is a fishing game

#

im liking the lore tho. maybe something about time travel could be incorporated considering the maps take place in several different eras and times throughout prehistory? (maybe like something in Sea Monsters with Nigel Marven)

#

to connect it to your lore too, maybe the creature that took the main character's father could have came out of some kind of time-travel wormhole in the ocean and then dragged him into the wormhole when he was dragged into the ocean. maybe for the time travel thing the main character could've turned the wormhole into some kind of time travel machine that he can set to whatever location and era/time period (that would be how you select maps to fish on in the game)

#

just ideas though. if the devs ever created the game like this the lore may be very different, but it's fun to speculate

Lake Bonneville

Details

Location: Millard County, Utah, United States (North America)
Climate: An extremely large freshwater lake. There are some concentrated salts in the water, but it's not enough to consider it a saltwater lake.
Datation: Pleistocene epoch, Quaternary period, 20,000 years ago
Side Note: This map idea is connected to my TheHunter: Primal idea of the same name #1120394592265719950 message. I can see some people not wanting this map idea since it only has one extinct species, that being the Utah Lake Sculpin, which is fair. I just thought to create it since Lake Bonneville was a prehistoric lake. Plus, it would add a lot of new and interesting extant species to the game's overall roster of marine life

Species List:

  1. Brine Shrimp (Artemia franciscana) (Class 0)
  2. Least Chub (Iotichthys phlegethontis) (Class 1)

Glaciaetas Sea

Details

Location: North Atlantic Ocean/Southern Arctic Ocean
Climate: Vast and deep open ocean. The northern area of the map has a large mass of sea ice that can't be walked on. Below the sea ice underwater is a dark twilight zone created by the shadow of the ice. The map is very deep because of it being in the middle of the ocean, and other than the sea ice to the north, no form of "land" is present on the map. A submarine is recommended for this map.
Datation: Pleistocene epoch, Quaternary period, 24,700 years ago
Side Note: Species 1 is speculative

Species List:

  1. Glaciaetas Comb Jelly (Ctenophora indet.) (Class 0)
  2. Arctic Comb Jelly (Mertensia ovum)
  3. Moon Jellyfish (Aurelia aurita) (Class 0)

I apologize for the lack of any map ideas lately. I’ve been working on ideas for a prehistoric hunting and fishing game idea of my own separate from TheHunter brand. I’ll get back to making more ideas soon

I will be going on a temporary, but long hiatus in terms of making ideas for this game idea and other game ideas like it on this server. this is mainly because I want to work on more ideas for my own prehistoric hunting/fishing game idea separate from TheHunter brand, which I call Outdoorsman: Prehistory. I'm not done making ideas for this game idea forever though
