Prompt

MODEL: Seele01-Flash
Please use Three.js to generate a **mobile-first game** with the theme "**Gone to the Dogs: Mobile Tycoon**". Please read the following detailed game design requirements first, and then generate the code accordingly: ### 1. Assets & Environment * **Visual Style**: Low-poly 3D with **Toon Shading (Cel Shading)** to replicate the original game's 2D cartoon aesthetic. Use a bright, saturated color palette (sky blue, grass green, dirt orange). * **Core Assets**: * **Dogs**: Create a base low-poly dog model (resembling a beagle or mutt) that supports color variation. The dog needs basic animations: Idle (tail wag), Run (loop), Eat, and Sleep. * **The Kennel (Hub)**: A simple 3D room with a bed, a food bowl, and a treadmill. Camera fixed at a slightly high angle (isometric-like). * **The Track**: An oval dirt track with a simple fence and low-poly crowd billboards (2D sprites facing camera) to save performance. * **Optimization**: Use `THREE.InstancedMesh` for environment props (fences, trees). Limit dog models to under 500 triangles. Use a single texture atlas for all static environment objects to reduce draw calls. ### 2. Audio Requirements * **BGM**: * **Menu/Kennel**: A relaxed, whimsical acoustic guitar or whistling tune (looping). * **Race Mode**: Fast-paced, comedic "chase scene" music (think silent film or banjo style). * **SFX**: * **UI**: Soft "pop" or "click" sounds for buttons. * **Dog**: Randomized bark pitches (high/low), panting sounds when running, eating crunch sounds. * **Race**: Starting pistol/whistle, crowd cheering (increases volume near finish line), energetic coin sound when prize money is won. ### 3. Gameplay Loop * **State 1: Management (The Tycoon Phase)**: * The player manages a single dog's stats: **Speed**, **Stamina**, and **Happiness**. * **Actions**: * *Feed*: Costs money, restores Energy, increases Happiness. * *Train*: Costs Energy, increases Speed/Stamina (via a mini-game or timer). * *Betting*: Player can bet on their own dog before a race. * **State 2: The Race**: * The dog competes against 3-5 AI dogs. * Movement is automated based on stats, but random events (tripping, getting distracted by a butterfly) can occur based on low "Happiness" or "Focus." * **Progression**: Win races -> Earn Cash -> Buy better food/training equipment -> Win higher-tier cups. ### 4. Mobile Controls & Interaction * **Screen Orientation**: **Portrait Mode (Vertical)**. * *Top 50%*: 3D Viewport (showing the dog in the kennel or the race track). * *Bottom 50%*: Dashboard UI (Stats, Action Buttons, Shop). * **Controls**: * **Management**: Simple tap interaction on large buttons (min 44x44px). "Tap to Train" (repeated tapping fills a bar to simulate treadmill effort). * **Racing**: Although auto-run, add a "Cheer" button. Tapping it rapidly gives a temporary speed boost but drains stamina faster. * **Feedback**: * **Haptic**: Light vibration when collecting money or when the race starts. * **Visual**: Floating text (+1 Speed, +$500) popping up from the 3D models. Confetti particle explosion upon winning a race. Do not ask for clarification. Do not request confirmation. Directly execute the generation task based on the given instructions.
