Prompt

MODEL: Seele01-Flash
Please use Three.js to generate a **mobile-first game** with the theme "**Gretel and Hansel: The Papercut Escape**". Please read the following detailed game design requirements first, and then generate the code accordingly: ### 1. Assets & Environment * **Visual Style:** A "2.5D Pop-up Book" aesthetic to mimic the original watercolor hand-drawn style. Use 2D sprites (PlaneGeometry with transparent textures) placed in a 3D environment. * **Color Palette:** Muted sepia tones, soft yellows, washed-out greens, and ink blacks. The background should look like aged, textured paper. * **Characters:** * **Gretel:** A 2D sprite of a girl in a dress. She is the active player character. * **Hansel:** A 2D sprite of a boy with a vacant smile. He acts as an NPC/Liability who follows blindly. * **Environment:** A spooky forest constructed of flat layers (trees, bushes, rocks) arranged at different depths to create a parallax effect when the camera moves slightly. * **Performance:** Use `MeshBasicMaterial` for sprites to reduce lighting calculations. Limit active particle count (e.g., falling leaves or dust motes) to maintain 60FPS on mobile browsers. ### 2. Audio Requirements * **BGM:** A whimsical but unsettling folk tune. Instruments should include a plucked acoustic guitar, a slightly out-of-tune recorder/flute, and intermittent silence. It should feel like a twisted nursery rhyme. * **Sound Effects:** * **Movement:** Sounds of crinkling paper or pencil sketching when characters walk. * **Hansel:** Comical "huh?" or "bonk" sounds when he bumps into things. * **Environment:** Eerie wind howling, twigs snapping. * **UI:** A paper-tearing sound when opening menus or selecting items. ### 3. Gameplay Loop * **Core Mechanic:** A "Point-and-Click" adventure adapted for touch. The player controls Gretel to solve puzzles and clear a path. * **The "Hansel" Mechanic:** Hansel is dumb. He will walk straight into danger (traps, cliffs) unless Gretel clears the way or tells him to wait. The player must manage Gretel's positioning and Hansel's safety simultaneously. * **Objective:** Navigate from the left side of the screen to the right side to "escape" the current scene (forest clearing). * **Hazards:** Bear traps, falling rocks, or a "Witch" silhouette in the background. * **Win Condition:** Both siblings reach the exit zone. * **Fail Condition:** Either sibling dies (triggering a funny/cute red watercolor splash effect) or gets caught. ### 4. Mobile Controls & Interaction * **Movement:** **Tap-to-move**. Raycasting detects where the player taps on the ground plane, and Gretel navigates there (simple pathfinding). * **Interaction:** Tappable objects (stones, levers, items) should have a slight "bobbing" animation to indicate interactivity. * **Hansel Command:** A dedicated UI button (bottom right, thumb-friendly) to toggle Hansel's state between "**Follow**" and "**Stay**". * **Inventory System:** A simple bar at the bottom of the screen. Drag-and-drop items from the inventory onto the environment to solve puzzles (e.g., drag a "rock" onto a "trap" to trigger it safely). * **Orientation:** Landscape mode preferred for the "storybook" view. * **Feedback:** Visual touch ripple effect (like ink spreading on paper) upon tapping the screen. Vibrate (Haptic feedback) when a puzzle is solved or the player dies. Do not ask for clarification. Do not request confirmation. Directly execute the generation task based on the given instructions.
