Prompt

MODEL: Seele01-Flash
Please use Three.js to generate a **mobile-first game** with the theme "**Empire Clicker**". Please read the following detailed game design requirements first, and then generate the code accordingly: ### 1. Assets & Environment * **Visual Style**: Create a vibrant, Low-Poly 3D aesthetic that mimics the cartoonish charm of the reference image. Use a bright, saturated color palette (sky blues, gold, vibrant greens). Models should have flat shading or cel-shading to maintain a playful, stylized look suitable for mobile screens. * **The "Empire" (Central Object)**: Instead of a flat background, place a floating "island" or hexagonal grid in the center of the screen. Initially, it is an empty grassy plot. As the game progresses, populate it with procedurally generated buildings (small huts -> stone houses -> castles -> skyscrapers). * **Particle Effects**: This is crucial for "Clicker" satisfaction. * **Click Burst**: Every time the user taps, generate a burst of small gold coins or "+1" text meshes that float upwards and fade out. * **Construction Dust**: When a new building tier is unlocked/purchased, play a "poof" smoke particle effect. * **Camera**: Use an Orthographic Camera positioned at an isometric angle (approx 45 degrees) to give a clear, strategic view of the empire. Ensure the camera gently bobs or floats to make the scene feel alive. * **Performance**: Use instanced mesh rendering for the buildings and trees to keep draw calls low on mobile devices. ### 2. Audio Requirements * **BGM (Background Music)**: A cheerful, looping orchestral track that starts simple (flute and acoustic guitar) and adds more instruments (horns, drums) as the empire grows, symbolizing progress. * **SFX (Sound Effects)**: * **Tap Sound**: A crisp, high-pitched "pop" or "coin clinking" sound that varies slightly in pitch with each tap to prevent audio fatigue. * **Upgrade Sound**: A satisfying "fanfare" or heavy "stone thud" when a building is constructed. * **UI Sounds**: Soft clicks for menu navigation. ### 3. Gameplay Loop * **Core Mechanic**: The player taps anywhere on the screen (or specifically on the central island) to generate "Gold". * **Progression System**: * **Tier 1**: Earn Gold by clicking. * **Tier 2 (Upgrades)**: Spend Gold to buy "Auto-Clickers" (visualized as tiny villagers walking around) who generate gold per second. * **Tier 3 (Evolution)**: Spend large amounts of Gold to "Evolve" the era. This visually transforms the buildings from Wood Age -> Stone Age -> Castle Age -> Modern Age. * **Dynamic visual feedback**: The central island must visually fill up. Start with 1 house, max out at 20 packed buildings before the player is forced to "Evolve" (reset the board with a multiplier) or upgrade the architectural style. ### 4. Mobile Controls & Interaction * **Screen Orientation**: **Portrait Mode** is mandatory for one-handed play. * **Touch Input**: * **Main Interaction**: The entire top 70% of the screen is the "Click Zone". Tapping here generates currency and triggers the particle effects. Support multi-touch so players can use multiple fingers to tap faster. * **Haptic Feedback**: Trigger a very short, light vibration (using `navigator.vibrate`) on every tap to provide tactile confirmation. * **UI Layout**: * **Dashboard**: A sticky footer (bottom 30% of screen) containing large, thumb-friendly buttons (minimum 60px height). * **Buttons**: "Upgrade Click", "Hire Villager", "Evolve Era". * **HUD**: Display "Total Gold" and "Gold Per Second" clearly at the top of the screen with a readable, bold font (like Roboto or a rounded cartoon font). Do not ask for clarification. Do not request confirmation. Directly execute the generation task based on the given instructions.
