Game Features
- Live LLM Narrative — The barracks never sleeps the same way twice. The Banner Guard greets you, comments on your recruits and reacts to every merge in real time — each line improvised by a live LLM as you play (deepseek-chat real-time narrative).
- Three-Troop Merge Lines — Recruit infantry, archers and cavalry, then merge two identical units to promote them across six tiers: Recruit Infantry → White City Shield Guard → Wall Guard → White Tree Heavy Guard → Royal Guard → King's Banner Guard.
- Special Unit Recipes — Cross-chain training unlocks legendary units: Shield Guard + Ranger becomes the Ranger Captain, Wall Guard + Rohan Rider becomes the White City Knight, and high-tier archers paired with White Horse Knights call in Giant Eagle support.
- Missions & Expeditions — Send your troops to the Border Watchtower, White City Orders, Forest Rangers, Northern Stables or the Eagle's Nest — five expedition areas where stronger units bring richer rewards.
- Full Pixel Art Asset Kit — 32 hand-crafted pixel troop icons across five chains, 6 shop decorations, 4 assistant portraits and 5 UI buttons — every sprite shipped as a transparent PNG, game-ready.
- Browser Playable — Runs instantly in your browser with no download or install. Drag-and-drop merging, live LLM dialogue and expedition battles all on the page.

Production Process Breakdown
AI receives the seed prompt — "make a world named 超市 with no characters or locations" — then a single shop idea: "Pixel Middle-earth barracks: recruit infantry, archers and cavalry, merge and promote them on a 5×5 training ground, and send them on missions and expeditions." From that one sentence it designs the full game concept: five troop chains, five expedition areas, three cross-chain recipes, and the Banner Guard assistant.
AI locks the content pack — 32 units across the infantry / archer / cavalry / special / waste chains with names, tiers and descriptions — then generates every asset with the shop-builder prompt pipeline: the 4×8 unit sheet, the 2×2 assistant portrait sheet, 6 shop decorations and 5 UI buttons. Each sheet is background-removed and split into transparent PNG sprites.
The game is packaged into a playable web work with one click and published instantly — fully responsive, no download required. A live LLM (deepseek-chat) improvises the Banner Guard's dialogue as you play, reacting to your recruits, merges and expeditions in real time.
Scene Backgrounds
Asset Prompts
"Pixel Middle-earth barracks shop, built on the merge-shop loop: recruit infantry, archers and cavalry, merge and promote them on a 5×5 barracks training ground; commissions become missions and expedition areas; product art uses full standing/riding pixel soldier unit icons." — the actual game concept prompt fed to the shop-builder pipeline.
"A game asset tile sheet with 4 rows and 8 columns on pure white background, containing 32 Middle-earth themed merge-game unit icons in a neat 4×8 grid without borders or dividers. Every slot must be an isolated pixel-art soldier / troop / military unit icon — Row 1: infantry progression (shield soldiers, guards, heavy guards, elite guards); Row 2: archer progression (bowmen, rangers, marksmen, elite archers); Row 3: cavalry progression (horse riders, scouts, knights, elite riders); Row 4: special units (ranger captain, white city knight, giant eagle support, dragon rider, banners, old gear). No text, no labels, no logos, no letters, no numbers — slot notes are semantic guidance only and must never be rendered as visible words."
"One original shop assistant character who strongly fits the barracks shop: the Banner Guard (守望旗手), a young watch-keeper in White City sentry cloak and light armor, holding a small war flag and an account ledger. Four half-body portraits arranged as a strict 2×2 grid — top-left smile, top-right serious, bottom-left angry/urgent, bottom-right confused — same character design across all four, pure white background, no text, no name tags, no labels, no logos."
