Final Product: Hawk Peak Ascent
Hawk Peak Ascent is a playable cozy adventure game set in A Short Hike — a mountain park of sunlit beaches, winding forest trails, glassy lakes, and one phone-friendly summit. You are Claire, a young golden bird who came for reception and found the mountain had other plans.
Hike, glide on warm updrafts, help a frantic seagull find his lost watch, trade with a clever fox merchant, and learn to fish at Mirror Lakes. Every detour, conversation, and hidden trail asks you to slow down. The story is written live as you play — and the climb changes the caller.

Game Features
- Live LLM Narrative — Every scene, every reply, and every hiker is written in real time by an LLM as you play. No two climbs up Hawk Peak pour out the same (deepseek-chat real-time narrative).
- Open-World Mountain Park — Hike, glide, fish, race, and paint at your own pace across beaches, forests, lakes, and thermal ridges — a tiny open world built for wandering.
- Wonder & Urgency Meters — Every choice shifts Wonder and Urgency. Help strangers, take detours, or hurry toward the call — the summit only appears when you are ready.
- Cozy Birdfolk Cast — Claire, Aunt May, the Park Ranger, Bill the seagull, Fox the merchant, and more — each with their own small requests and quiet truths.
- Hidden Trails & Errands — Secret forks, foxhole shortcuts, a lost watch on the shoreline, and golden feathers that make you climb a little faster.
- Browser Playable — Runs directly in your browser, no download needed. Live LLM dialogue on every page turn.
Character Sprites
Production Process Breakdown
AI receives the prompt "Create a Peaceful mountain exploration — climb Hawk Peak, glide, meet hikers, discover a tiny open world" and generates the A Short Hike world — 22 atom cards: characters (8), locations (6), events (6), park lore (2).
AI designs the game from atom cards: writes story rules, designs scene flow, and generates all art assets. Each sprite was generated with a full-body sprite prompt, then background-removed to a transparent PNG via BiRefNet.
Game built and published with one click, instantly shareable online. Live LLM (deepseek-chat) improvises dialogue in each character's voice as you climb.
