Him Over There — Claude Code Handoff

This repository is the exported SuperCool prototype for Him Over There, a stylized 3D, single-player, Chicago-inspired photography career and life simulation game.

The current prototype is already more than a mockup: it contains a custom Three.js game loop, a playable district/interiors, a protagonist, a vehicle, a phone/business system, client inquiries, camera settings, lighting, posing, photo scoring, culling, retouching, delivery, money/reputation/stress systems, a first-mission narrative, and studio progression.

Immediate goal

Do not rebuild the game or migrate engines yet. Stabilize this prototype and make desktop + mobile first-class targets through an input abstraction layer, responsive HUDs, touch controls, performance tiers, and local asset ownership.

Run locally

npm install
npm run dev

Then open the local Vite URL.

Build

npm run build

Note: the exported project did not include a lockfile. The first successful dependency install should commit the generated package-lock.json.
