RISE FROM RUIN

RISE FROM RUIN is a game being developed at Champlain College as a Capstone project. Started in the fall semester of 2024, the game has continued into the spring semester of 2025 to be shown off in the graduating years Senior Show. 

Our game is a Third-Person Character-Action experience where the player takes control of a giant beast who is virtually unstoppable! Protect a city that has been attacked by an malicious outside force!
