I was playing Fish Tycoon this morning and I thought, well, this is a really good game, but it gets kind of boring. I mean, this is a real-time game, so you basically do what you want for five or ten minutes then go off and do something else. I, for one, would love to have a kind of "mini game" embedded into the game so that we can have a little bit of fun while we're waiting for the fish to grow up.

LDW could include them in the next expansion pack or sequel. Here are my ideas for a mini game. Please add your ideas - hopefully, LDW will pick one!!

I was thinking of something that could help the main game.

Perhaps you could go dive in the Isola Lagoon for oysters,
and sell them - oysters with pearls could sell for more money, which could then be used in the main game.

Another dive idea - let's say the store has a seaweed farm in the lagoon or on the shore. You have to go diving every now and then to harvest them and take them back to the store to sell. Perhaps have a few different kinds of seaweed that sell for different amounts. Possibly even have young/midaged/adult plants that sell for different amounts bsaed on age. You could maybe even have a mini tycoon - plant certain types for better monetary yield.

This idea is more of a hunting one: You go treasure hunting! Take a pickaxe and start digging on the beach for old coins, jewelry, etc. Perhaps, in the sequel, you could have a new facet to the Fish Tycoon game: Dive Research (like Environmental Research, Food Research, etc). Level one = you get a pickaxe and go digging on the beach. Level two = Snorkel and nearshore diving (find oysters, rare nearshore fish, and maybe treasure boxes). Level three = full scuba gear and deepwater diving (treasure boxes, oddball creatures, treasures from sunken ships, etc.)

Another idea: You could maybe do this fun minigame where you do literal research. It'd be like a little lab or something, you pick two flasks of certain chemicals and mix them up. Maybe you get something new, maybe you don't. You could create new medicines, food, and tonics to use or sell in the store.

Anybody else care to pitch in with more ideas?
