The Animation
Above is the running animation for the player's character, Basil the otter. The individual frames were coded into the game to allow the animations to change depending on what the player did. The jumping animation was recreated using the first three frames of the running sequence.
Below is a footage of the running animation in action as the player walks and jumps throughout the game. At the bottom of the page, the individual frames of the running and idle animations are on display.

Project Description
This is an original game that I created entirely myself; from game art to code!
The Festival of the Dawn is a mini baking game. You play as Basil, a young chef-in-training who visits the historic Elemental Island during his holiday break. “The Dawn” holiday celebrates Mother Earth and the creation of the Goddesses of Water, Fire, and Air. Since it is the Goddesses’ birthday, Basil wants to bake them a birthday cake!
The player must explore the island to find the ingredients for the birthday cake. Players use Basil’s Journal (a thin physical book that I turned in with my game project) to keep track of the ingredients they have collected with the checklist page and learn about the story behind the holiday!
