Born To Rise

About the project

Born To Rise represents the culminating project for our final year at ESAT. This project involves the collaborative development of a 2.5D platformer undertaken by a diverse team consisting of 7 programmers, 6 artists, and 3 game designers. Using standardized tools in the industry like Unreal Engine and 3D Max, this experience has been designed to closely emulate the dynamics of a professional video game studio.

After 9 months of hard work and invaluable learning, we have managed to release the game in early access on Steam. Here you can play through three complete levels that perfectly represent the gameplay and art vision we were so eagerly striving for.
