RUST OR RISE
“Rise or Rust“ is a 3D jump-and-run platformer set in a post-apocalyptic city, where players control Elli, an old gardening robot, on a quest to reach the highest point in an abandoned city. Combining skill-based platforming with environmental exploration, the game challenges players to navigate complex parkour levels using abilities like dashing, gliding, and interacting with the environment. The game offers a unique setting inspired by brutalism and industrialism.
GAME DESIGN
RISE OR RUST
"Rise or Rust" is a sixth-semester game project developed in Unreal Engine 5 by a team of four people (three artists and one programmer) over the course of three months. While we made all development decisions as a team, we divided the workload. I worked majorly on the visual development, rigging, and implementing animations for Elli, the player character, as well as doing other tasks such as VFX, sound, and some programming.
