This game is an Endless runner, based on the mobile game Temple Run.
The player runs on the ruins of an ancient temple in a beautiful forest, jumping and sliding to avoid all obstacles ...
Challenges were the generation of the road and the terrain and the performance of the game.
The road and the world around the player consists of tiles that get generated while you are playing. There are road tiles and nature tiles. When you leave behind a road tile, it gets destroyed and the road extends at the end so you can keep running. The game keeps track of what nature tiles are irrelevant and deletes them accordingly.
There are a lot of assets in this game that get rendered multiple times. Flowers, grasses, trees, bushes, roads ...
Almost everything except for the player character. The Overlord Engine in which this game was made, did not originally support instanced rendering. So a flexible system was implemented.

For the terrain I used Tesselation combined with a noise map. The game is generated with Tiles. Each tile has a terrain quad. In the tesselation stage the quad gets subdivided, then gets an offset in the domain shader based on a noise map, which is sampled by the world position.
This noise map is then later reused by the plants and stones on the terrain, so they are rendered at the correct height to fit the terrain.
The plants wave in the wind, which is done in the vertex shader. The higher the vertex is above the terrain, the more wind they catch.
