Fishing Simulator Pro – Fishing Game Template

Fishing Simulator Pro is a complete and customizable fishing game template, designed as a strong foundation for fishing simulators, survival games, open-world games, RPGs, and fishing mini-games. The template combines fishing mechanics, fish AI, equipment progression, bait and lure systems, inventory, shop, save/load, water interaction, buoyancy, UI, and physics-based fishing systems into one expandable framework. Cast your line, attract fish, hook them, fight against their strength and stamina, land your catch, keep or release it, sell fish, earn money, and upgrade your equipment. ⭐ Main Features 🎣 Complete Fishing Gameplay A full fishing gameplay loop is included: Equip Gear → Cast → Wait for Bite → Hook Fish → Fight → Land → Keep or Release → Sell → Upgrade The system handles casting, reeling, line payout, fish hooking, line tension, catching, equipment changes, and resetting the rig. 🐟 Dynamic Fish AI Fish exist physically in the water and use configurable behavior. Features include: - Free swimming and wandering - Preferred swimming depth - Shore avoidance - Bait detection - Curiosity and bait inspection - Nibbling behavior - Bite probability - Give-up behavior - Individual swim speed - Fight strength - Stamina - Fight bursts - Head-shake forces - Randomized weight and length - Physical behavior after landing Fish behavior can be configured individually for different species. 🐠 Multiple Fish Categories Different fish categories react differently to bait and fishing techniques. Predators can react to moving artificial lures and require active lure movement. Peaceful Fish can be caught using traditional bait and float fishing. Bottom Feeders prefer bait closer to the lake or river bed, making fishing depth important. Fish can be configured with custom size ranges, weight, depth, swim speed, bite chance, strength, stamina, attraction behavior, and selling value. 🐟 Starter Fish Species The included configuration contains starter fish definitions for: - Pike - Perch - Trout - Shiner - Bream Each species can use different behavior, size, weight, strength, stamina, and economy values. 🧵 Physics-Based Fishing Line The fishing line includes configurable simulation and tension mechanics. Features include: - Dynamic fishing line - Gravity and sag - Damping - Line tension - Stress and breaking strength - Maximum load - Overload duration - Recovery - Fish-generated pulling forces The player must manage line tension during the fight. Too much force can break the line. ⚙️ Reel Drag & Spool System Reels influence how fish fights behave. Supported parameters include: - Retrieve speed - Line payout - Reel drag - Drag slip - Maximum spool capacity When a fish pulls harder than the configured drag, line can automatically leave the spool. If the spool reaches its limit, additional force increases stress on the fishing line. 📏 Adjustable Fishing Depth Float fishing includes an adjustable leader system. Players can change the distance between the float and hook, allowing different fishing depths. This makes rig setup important when targeting fish near the surface, mid-water, or near the bottom. 🪱 Bait & Artificial Lures The template supports traditional bait and artificial lures. Bait can define: - Attraction strength - Compatible fish categories - Number of uses - Durability Artificial lures can additionally use: - Required movement speed - Buoyancy - Surface or deeper-running behavior - Custom lure prefabs This allows different fishing styles to require different player techniques. 🎒 Equipment System 🎣 Fishing Rods Rod stats can affect: - Casting power - Casting charge speed - Line protection - Reeling power - Rod model ⚙️ Reels Reels can affect: - Retrieve speed - Line payout - Drag - Spool capacity 🧵 Fishing Lines Lines can define: - Breaking strength - Diameter - Color - Underwater visibility Line visibility can influence fish behavior, allowing trade-offs between strength an
