The Moss Veil

Inspiration

Moss Veil draws inspiration from leisurely walks through nature, the atmospheric world of "Hollow Knight," and cozy 2D gaming experiences. It aims to provide players with a relaxing journey while prompting reflection on mental health.

What it does

In Moss Veil, players control a rock exploring different realms. They navigate, dodge, dash, and can transform into a rock. Boss encounters represent real-life mental health challenges, fostering engagement and awareness.

I worked mainly on Unity, the game mechanic, level building, animation mapping and timing. This is also my first time ever do a unity project. I also participate in discussing idea about game's concept and character design. Besides I also contribute in keeping the whole team of both unity group and graphic/ sound group together while it’s hard to concentrate after pulling an all nighter for all of us.
