Moth Rising

Mothy needs to go to the top of the tree and pick up nectar in the way up.

Game Jam 2023 project. Theme: Roots.

Play with a controller for a better gamefeel.

Technical part:

The player moves in 2D, but the position is clamped around the tree, and adding the camera following you like a selfie stick it gives a cool perspective. Every 2D object in the scene is automatically placed on the surface of the tree and facing towards the center, to help building the environment.

For the root mode I used a simplified spline that I saw in this CodeMonkey video. When you move you create points and mesh is created between them, whit uv's automatically generated, prepared for future shading.
