Virtual Top Down

In this cozy top-down prototype, players embody a Kangaroo on a heartwarming mission to feed a Tapir, exploring a charming 3D pixel art world and gathering ants. The delightful pixel art style enhances the visual appeal, creating an enchanting and enjoyable gaming experience.

Everything one can see in this project was made by me, except the 3D models, sounds and animations.

	One of the challenges was to mix a 2D tilemap in this 3D world and generate a natural environment. For this I made use of one of the assets I created Avesta.
To make the world feel more alive, each animal has it's own Finite State Machine with different states such as Idle or wandering around. To make the Kangaroo follow commands from the player I used a Raycast from the camera to the world and detect a specific layer mask (see Detecting mouse class below).
