🎃 Jiangshi: Race Against Sunrise 🧟♂️
What happens when a Chinese hopping vampire stays out too late on Halloween?
He has one problem: the sun is coming up! ☀️
His only chance is to climb a cliff and reach a hidden shelter before sunrise.
For the #rivehalloweenchallenge, I combined three things: Chinese folklore, rock climbing, and Halloween — and turned them into a playable mini-game.
🧗 How it works:
- Control the Jiangshi's arms and legs individually.
- Find reachable climbing holds and make your way up.
- Perform dynamic moves (dynos) to reach distant holds.
- Reach the top to unlock a cinematic ending. (No spoilers! 👀)
🛠️ Built with:
- Rive CLI & RML for scene creation
- Luau Scripting for gameplay logic
- Data Binding for interactive character movement
- Rive Editor for refinement
As someone who enjoys rock climbing, I wanted to bring a little of that experience into an interactive Halloween story.
The goal wasn't just to animate a character, but to create something people could actually play.
