Welcome to the Into Games Design Workout; this week’s theme is Fishing mini-game!!

Writers, your challenge this week is to write a short story about an old fisherman recounting tall tales to a younger character. Maybe they caught a fish bigger than a house, or maybe they managed to defend their lifeboat from a leviathan from the deep, barely escaping with their life? I’m sure this old sailor has lived a rich life, full of exciting tales from the high seas.

 Watch this video for inspiration: https://youtu.be/UsbhNVbI_eI 

Focus on the mannerisms of the fisher, what slang have they picked up over the years? He speaks with a specific rhythm of quick anecdotes followed by brief pauses for contemplation, try to emulate this in your writing!

Interpret the brief however you'd like, feel free to take creative liberties with it!
