Run Chicken, Run!

Run Chicken Run is an endless runner with a farm theme ... You're a chicken, tired of the farm - but the farmer forgot to close the gate and this is your chance to escape!  Since he's a bit lazy, he's sending his robotic farmhand to chase you down.  DON'T PANIC - just keep running and don't get hung up on a cows utter or anything like that... oh yeah, and don't die... the farm is by the ocean, with cliffs, bridges, and other dangerous stuff.

This was created for the 2020 Houdini Game Jam with the theme of "Don't Panic",  and is about 6 days worth of work.  It features randomized map generation, so each time you play the course will be slightly different.  I have lots more 'zones' I'd like to add to the game, so hopefully I'll be able to update it once the Jam is done.

Here is a short clip showing some behind-the-scenes work in Houdini / HoudiniEngine / Unreal Engine:

Houdini was used to model all of the ground terrain, cliffs, columns, fences, & bridges.
