Hi guys! For the last 2 years or so, I’ve had the privelege of working with an incredibly talented team, and some of my close friends on this project. We are so excited to finally be releasing some of it to the public, and I wanted to share that with you!

What we have been creating is Sunborn Rising, an original Intellectual property. I began reading early drafts of the story from my friend and author, Aaron Safranoff, while he was developing it. This eventually led to me quitting my studio job, and jumping into Sunborn to help develop the world and build a company around it! That was how much I loved the story, and how deeply I believed in it.

Please take some time to check out all of the amazing art, music, game and tech we have been developing. It has been a whirlwind of creativity, and we have worked with so many talented people to bring this vision to life. It is truly humbling and unbelievably exciting to finally be sharing all of this with the world!

We’ve also been visually developing our world and characters in Unreal Engine for animated content production, and we are excited to show more of that soon as well. It’s still early days, but so much is possible on a budget and we are excited to blaze these trails!

Love the art style. Looking forward to ue4 renders

I agree with Ali, fantastic art style. Can’t wait to see it fully realized in UE4. =)

Wow, that looks absolutely amazing! :smiley:

5

I believe that last shot is a render, is it not? It looks great if so (well it looks great even if not!). Love the concept art and style as well, good use of color.

That last shot is indeed an in-engine shot. It was part of a quick prototype we made earlier this year. You can read more about it at our blog post, here: http://bit.ly/1Licdq0

Really beautiful… If the rest of the experience brings the look and feel to life as well as that last in-game render, I’m sold :wink:

Good luck!

Looks really nice. Looking forward to more
