The brief

Creature-collecting games are usually native or built on a game engine. I wanted one that runs in a browser tab.

The build

Vanilla TypeScript with Three.js and Vite. A serverless function proxies image generation so the API key stays on the server.

What shipped

Live at critter-vale.vercel.app.
