Longshore, a fishing game that travels by radio
A shared virtual coast where nearby players walk, fish, and talk over LoRa radio without servers, accounts, or internet.
Field notes
Longshore generates a shared coastline from a seed, so players can occupy the same bays, reeds, ledges, and open water without transmitting the map itself. Its multiplayer state travels through LoRa heartbeats: nearby players are clearer, while distant ones update less often. The fishing table covers 42 species across four waters, with catches shaped by location, hour, month, and a verifiable salt; each bite also imposes a seven-to-twenty-four-second wait and a three-second strike window.
