THE LAST COURIER

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.

Create a third-person 3D post-apocalyptic courier game titled THE LAST COURIER. Use a browser-playable Three.js-style scene filling the screen, with a muted dusty palette: dark teal-gray sky/background and exponential fog, tan-brown terrain, charcoal roads, gray-brown ruins and debris, sparse blocky trees with dark trunks and green canopies, and warm late-afternoon directional light with soft shadows. The world is a bounded open area roughly 110 by 120 units, viewed by a smooth follow camera. The player begins on foot at SHELTER 17 beside an old delivery vehicle called the OLD RUNNER. The avatar itself can be represented minimally or invisibly; the visible vehicle is a stylized low-poly rusty brown car/van with a rectangular body, dark roof, and four black cylindrical tires.

Core loop: explore the wasteland, accept the first delivery from Mara at Shelter 17, load 10 food cargo units, enter the Old Runner, drive to Haven, and deliver the cargo at the green Haven receiver/gate for a $320 reward. Start with 
20, 100 health, 100 stamina, 78 fuel, cargo 0/40, one repair kit and one fuel can, and no active order. The first order is ORDER #001 / FOOD SUPPLY, route SHELTER 17 to HAVEN, 10 cargo, reward $320, low risk. At Shelter 17, pressing E while on foot accepts the order and loads cargo, showing a toast “ORDER ACCEPTED · CARGO LOADED” and a dialogue from MARA · SHELTER 17 explaining that ten sealed food units must go to the green gate receiver. At Haven, while driving and close enough to the receiver, pressing E completes the delivery, removes the cargo, increments completed/story progress, discovers Haven, adds $320, and shows “DELIVERY COMPLETE +$320,” followed by receiver dialogue about food received and Station 9 listening for relay parts.

Movement controls: WASD moves on foot, with Shift sprinting while stamina is available; stamina drains while sprinting and regenerates while idle. Press E to interact: enter/exit the Old Runner when near it, accept the Shelter 17 order, or deliver at Haven. While driving, W/S throttle forward/reverse, A/D steer, and Space provides strong braking. Vehicle speed is capped in both directions, fuel drains based on movement, and the vehicle stays inside the world bounds. Use a close third-person follow camera behind the walking player or behind/above the car while driving, with smooth interpolation and the camera looking toward the actor. Press M to open the route map and Escape to pause/unpause.

Build the environment with explicit locations and recognizable blocky hubs: SHELTER 17 at approximately (0,5), HAVEN at (-28,4) with a green structure/gate, STATION 9 at (30,-18) with a muted purple hub, MARKET at (22,0) with a brown-gold hub, INDUSTRIAL DISTRICT toward (38,30), OVERGROWN LANDS toward (-38,30), and a RADIATION ZONE toward (-32,-26). Also show dead city/wasteland/road-network regions through location detection. Lay out a north-south road through the center, an east-west road, a southern road, an overgrown green patch, scattered rectangular ruins, 28 debris blocks, and 15 simple trees. Shelter 17 should include a bed, workbench, map/table, and glowing radio. Put glowing warm sign panels on the location hubs. Entering the radiation zone continuously damages health.

Create a dark tactical diegetic UI overlay styled like a survival courier terminal: translucent near-black panels, thin ochre/gold borders, warm cream text, muted beige secondary text, uppercase letter spacing, and restrained amber highlights. The top-left HUD displays HP, STA, $, FUEL, and CARGO values. The top-right displays the current location. Beneath it, show an ACTIVE ORDER panel with the current order or “Talk to Mara at Shelter 17,” plus route, reward, and status when an order exists. Along the bottom-right provide clickable buttons MAP, ORD, INV, RAD, and PAUSE. Near the lower center show contextual prompts such as “[E] ENTER OLD RUNNER,” “[E] DELIVER CARGO,” or “[E] INTERACT,” plus centered gold toast notifications.

The MAP modal is a dark map panel with simple vertical and horizontal road lines, gold dots and labels for discovered locations, gray dots labeled ??? for undiscovered locations, and a bright red player position marker. ORDERS shows order ID, route, cargo, reward, and risk. INVENTORY shows repair kits, fuel cans, documents, vehicle parts, and base level. SETTINGS shows quality HIGH, volume values, and controls “WASD · E · M · R · ESC.” PAUSE shows autosave ready, location, current order, and base level. RAD opens a radio dialogue with a cryptic transmission: “…if anyone receives this, the archive doors did not fail. They were opened.”

Include a title menu over the game with THE LAST COURIER, a bleak italic courier-themed tagline, NEW GAME, CONTINUE (disabled if no local save), SETTINGS, and EXIT. Starting a new game opens an introductory radio dialogue labeled RADIO // SHELTER 17: “17 YEARS AFTER THE FALL... ‘...if anyone can hear this...’ The signal disappears. ORDER #001 is waiting.” Use modal dialogue boxes with named speakers and buttons. Support local autosave/continue behavior. The interaction and UI should feel like a sparse, atmospheric post-collapse delivery RPG rather than an action shooter: no enemies or combat are present, and the visible gameplay is exploration, driving, delivery, discovery, dialogue, map, inventory, and resource management.
