Ridiculous Fishing devs considering additional content, Android release

Ridiculous Fishing developer Vlambeer is "definitely thinking about" adding more content to the game, and is also considering an Android release, the studio said in a Reddit AMA yesterday.

"We're definitely thinking about adding more content in the future, but it might be a while before we make it as good as we want it to be," said Vlambeer in response to a question about plans for sequels or additional content.

Asked about an Android version, Vlambeer co-founder Rami Ismail said the studio is considering it but is unsure about what the development process would entail.

"We're still arguing about an Android release," said Ismail. "There are a lot of things to consider and a lot of things that we just don't know too much about since we've yet to make a game for Android.

"As soon as we figure all that stuff out, we'll see what we can do."

Vlambeer also commented on the price of Ridiculous Fishing — it sells for $2.99 on the iTunes App Store, while many other mobile games are available for $0.99 or for free. The studio said it wasn't upset at comments that it might be "insane" for asking $3, since "it's just the way the market works at the moment" for mobile games.

"We do believe that developers shouldn't be scared to charge $3 for a game," said Vlambeer. "The problem is that at $0.99, you'll need to sell endless amounts of copies to be able to survive as an indie developer. Most games don't even get close to that."

The studio noted that going with a free-to-play model "seems to be a safer bet," but added, "Since its [sic] almost impossible to do [free-to-play] in a non-evil way and without sacrificing the elegance of your game design, we'll prefer to charge $3."

Ridiculous Fishing launched last week on iOS.
