2D Platformer: The Mountain Calls - 山神

The Mountain Calls is my undergraduate project, in which I created all the art, animation, level design, text and coded part of the program.

《山神》是我个人本科毕业设计的项目。我在其中负责了全部美术、动画、文本、关卡设计与部分的程序。

BGM arranged from Heaven's Tower (Final Fantasy XI) by Astron Lagrange.

The story of The Mountain Calls is set on an isolated island in ancient East Asia in a fabricated time frame. The main character is saved by the islanders after a shipwreck and has nowehere to go but to stay on the island. After waking up, he hears a voice in his mind calling itself the "Mountain God", and calling him to the mountain near the village. After a few days of living in the island, he gradually understands the local totems and suspectes that the "Mountain God" is resonsible for the frequent maritime disasters around the island, which preventes outsiders and islanders from navigating in from outside and going out from inside. Curious, but also homesick and wanting to leave the island soon, he sets out on a journey to find the true identity of the Mountain God behind the voice.

《山神》的故事设定在架空的古代东亚的一座与世隔绝的海岛上。男主角经历海难，被岛上居民所救，无处可归的他只能留在岛上。而后奇怪的事情发生了，苏醒后男主角的脑海中一直听到有一股声音自称为山神，并呼唤他前往岛上的山中。经过调查，他逐渐了解了当地的信仰与图腾，怀疑岛屿附近海难多发，外界无法航入，内部无法外出正是这位“山神”作祟。既出于好奇心，又思家心切，想早日离开这座岛屿，他踏上了寻找其脑海中声音背后的山神的旅途。
