Prompt

MODEL: Seele01-Flash
Please use Three.js to generate a **mobile-first game** with the theme "**Kingdom Rush Frontiers 3D Remake**". Please read the following detailed game design requirements first, and then generate the code accordingly: ### 1. Assets & Environment * **Visual Style**: Adapt the original 2D hand-drawn cartoon style into **3D Low-Poly with Cel-Shading**. Use bright, vibrant colors (high saturation) to ensure visibility on small screens. * **Camera**: Use an **Orthographic Camera** tilted at a 45-degree angle (Isometric view) to replicate the classic tower defense perspective while adding 3D depth. Limit camera panning to the map bounds. * **Map Design**: Create a "Desert Frontier" terrain. The map must contain a defined **NavMesh path** for enemies (winding canyon road) and elevated **"Build Plots"** (circular markers) scattered strategically along the path. * **Models**: * **Towers**: 4 distinct base types (Archer Tower, Barracks, Mage Guild, Artillery). Use simple geometric compositions recognizable by silhouette. * **Enemies**: Low-poly goblins and sand-raiders. * **Hero**: A slightly larger, distinct unit (e.g., a Knight) with a health bar above their head. * **Performance**: Use `THREE.InstancedMesh` for rendering multiple identical enemy units and projectiles to maintain high FPS on mobile devices. Texture resolution should be capped at 512x512 for standard assets. ### 2. Audio Requirements * **BGM**: An adventurous, orchestral fantasy loop with brass and percussion, energetic but not distracting. * **SFX**: * **UI**: A wooden "thud" sound when opening menus; a "chime" when purchasing upgrades. * **Combat**: "Whoosh" for arrows, "Clang" for sword fights, and high-pitched "yelps" when enemies die. * **Feedback**: A distinct "Construction Complete" sound (hammering noise) to confirm tower placement. ### 3. Gameplay Loop * **Core Cycle**: 1. **Preparation**: Player starts with X Gold. Tapping a "Build Plot" opens a radial menu to select one of 4 towers. 2. **Wave Start**: Player taps a skull icon to start the wave early (bonus gold) or waits for the timer. 3. **Defense**: Enemies spawn from a "Start Point" and follow the path to the "Exit." Towers auto-attack enemies within range. Barracks spawn 3 soldiers to block the path physically. 4. **Hero Micro**: Player can tap the Hero, then tap a location on the path to move them to intercept enemies. * **Economy**: Earn Gold for killing enemies. Spend Gold to build new towers or upgrade existing ones. * **Win/Loss**: * **Win**: Survive all defined waves. * **Loss**: Player starts with 20 Lives. Every enemy that reaches the "Exit" deducts 1 Life. Game Over if Lives reach 0. ### 4. Mobile Controls & Interaction * **Orientation**: Fixed **Landscape Mode**. * **Touch Interaction**: * **Raycasting**: Implement precise raycasting for tapping small 3D objects (Build Plots, Hero). Increase the hit-box radius beyond the visual model to accommodate "fat finger" interaction. * **Tower Building**: **Tap-to-Select** logic. Tap a plot -> Camera focuses slightly -> UI Radial Menu pops up around the plot -> Tap Tower icon to build. * **Spell Casting**: Two fixed buttons in the bottom-left/right corners (Rain of Fire, Reinforcements). Interaction: Drag the icon from the UI onto the battlefield to cast. * **UI Layout**: Large, thumb-friendly UI elements anchored to the screen edges. Fonts must be bold and readable. * **Feedback**: * **Haptic**: Trigger a short vibration (using `navigator.vibrate`) when a tower is built or a spell is cast. * **Visual**: Floating text (Damage Numbers) popping up when enemies take damage. Flash the screen red slightly when a life is lost. Do not ask for clarification. Do not request confirmation. Directly execute the generation task based on the given instructions.
