A Live2D-Powered Platforming Adventure

---

📖 Story

One day, a slime comes across a chef's skull and bag in the forest, picks up the skull and hat, and notices butter toast in the cookbook and decides to make it for themselves. This slime must navigate the homes of ButterFlies and BaGoats to gather butter and bread to make its very own butter toast.

✨ How is Live2D Used?

All characters in this game are brought to life using Live2D technology. This approach was chosen to avoid cumbersome sprite sheets that are difficult to iterate on and modify. When changes are needed, updating a Live2D model is significantly faster and more flexible than reworking entire sprite sheets.

The Live2D integration also enables embedded physics through deformers and physics settings, creating fluid, dynamic character animations that respond naturally to movement and gameplay events.

Technical Implementation

The game features custom integration between Unity's physics system and Live2D's Cubism SDK, allowing character models to react to velocity changes, state transitions, and environmental interactions in real-time.
