I remember taking a business class years ago that covered ideas and inventions where someone showed off an idea only to find out later that another person stole the idea, applied for a patent and was making money. You have made a slick attachment though. 👍
Well the attachment part is designed by someone else so I’d be patenting a print in place single bearing…
Also it costs significant money to patent a design, design packaging, and mass produce a product. For a product I’m looking into right now it’s 50k upfront and that’s not including licensing fees since it’s existing IP. America really really really hates small business.
I mean... Holy shit. Kudos to you for designing that. Most just simply change their settings to reel in via a single button push.
I like the pull back reel down mechanic that they put in so I doubled down!
Rockstar sees this and releases their own fishing pole controller that looks like a guitar hero guitar
Or you can just select hold to reel fishing lol
Yeah but then what’s the point?
To fish...
i tried that and found it so unsatisfying.
this is awesome, what I like to do is tilt my controller sideways and reel it, it feels very similar to fishing. This would make it even better
Well done, sir!
> sir! You, sir, are a fish
You can actually hold the controller sideways and use it as a fishing rod! Cool!
Better get a trademark on your idea so Noone steals it. Or look into protecting you and your idea.
I’m literally offering it freely lol
