Golden Hour Fishing

Cinevva's analyzer read this game's design doc and its source, then wrote the brief below. "Make your own" hands it to the game creator as your opening message, so you start from a real spec rather than a one-line idea.

Recreate a calm, stylized 3D fishing mini-game titled “Golden Hour Fishing.” Use a fixed third-person/wide perspective camera looking down across a small dock toward a quiet circular lake at sunset; do not make the player freely roam. Render a warm low-poly scene with a purple mauve sky/background and fog, orange-gold low sunlight, soft sunset illumination, and a large glowing orange sun disc low on the horizon. The ground is a broad muted tan shoreline/terrain circle, with a teal-blue circular lake inset into it. Add several pine trees and chunky rocks around the distant shore as environmental silhouettes/landmarks.

In the foreground, build a simple wooden dock extending from the lower-left toward the lake: five brown planks, two small support posts, and a low bench. Place a dark fishing rod on the dock, angled upward, with a pale fishing line running from its tip out over the water to a small golden/orange bobber floating on the lake. The bobber should gently bob up and down while waiting. Keep the scene uncluttered and peaceful, with soft shadows, reflective-looking but mostly matte water, and an illustrated/low-poly cozy sunset aesthetic.

The game is a one-button fishing interaction driven by a clear state loop. Start in a READY state with score/catches 0, last fish shown as “—”, and the message “A quiet evening on the water.” A large rounded button in the lower-right reads “CAST LINE.” When the player clicks/taps that button, enter CAST: reset the wait timer, cast the line/bobber, show the message “The bobber drifts in the warm light,” and display the instruction “Wait for a tug…”. After a random delay of about 1.8–4.2 seconds, enter BITE automatically: show “TUG! A fish is on the line!”, change the button text to “REEL IN,” use an orange-tinted button, and make the bobber visibly pulse/scale while continuing its slight motion. If the player clicks/taps REEL IN during this bite window, enter CAUGHT, increment the catches score by one, randomly select and show one of exactly these fish names: “Bluegill,” “Sunfish,” or “Golden Perch,” and display “Nice catch — the lake gives up a secret.” The button returns to “CAST LINE” and the helper text says “Tap to cast again,” allowing another cast. There is no movement system, combat, inventory, miss penalty, timer display, or fish animation beyond the rod/line/bobber behavior.

Add a screen-space HUD over the 3D view. At the top, use a translucent dark-purple header panel spanning the width. In warm cream typography show the large serif title “Golden Hour Fishing” at upper-left, with the subtitle “Catch a little peace and a fish or two” beneath it in smaller sans-serif text. Below that on the left show “CATCHES  [score]” and “LAST FISH  [fish name or —]”. Center a large cream status message in the middle of the view. Put the rounded action button near the lower-right, approximately 200 by 72 pixels, pale golden when idle and orange when a fish bites, with dark bold text. Center a small cream helper/instruction line near the bottom: “Tap CAST LINE to start” in READY, “Wait for a tug…” in CAST, “Tap REEL IN now!” in BITE, and “Tap to cast again” after a catch. Support mouse and touch/pointer taps, and scale the HUD responsively to the viewport while preserving the fixed camera composition.
