possible co-op tourney glitch!

[cassetticons]

I invited a couple (3 to be exact) of friends over for the fishing tourney, and after about 3 or 4 rounds, all the fish on my island vanished! even using bait didn't work - we ended the round with zero fish caught it's possible this is intentional, but even so i thought i should let you guys know. pace yourselves out there!

When Animal Crossing takes realism a bit too far.

It’s not just the fishing tourney. I and the friends I play online with have noticed that sometimes you can run out of fish. Only way to fix it is for someone to leave or enter the island.

If I had to guess, its probably because people are always having areas of the town rendered which likely prevents things from (properly) spawning in.

If you pay attention while in singleplayer, look at fruit tree's shadows as you walk away. You'll notice that the fruit will despawn when you're far enough away from it since the shadow of the fruit will vanish. Fish and bugs can only really spawn off-screen. If there are people in those off-screen areas... things likely have trouble spawning.

That's what happens when you over-fish. It's important to protect the environment.
