I am beyond thrilled to officially announce the start of development on Arise! This game is the culmination of my lifelong love for fantasy, world-building, adventure, and creative expression.
Since I was a child, I’ve been crafting a world called Evallis. Whether I was drawing world maps during recess or writing backstories for characters in my spare time, Evallis has become a place near and dear to my heart and the time has finally come to bring that world to life!
As a child I would always end up incorporating the same symbol into many of my sketches and drawings wherever there was a flag or banner. Now all these years later, I find it fitting to use it as the logo for Arise.
What Is Arise?
Arise is an open-world, multiplayer, fantasy, survival game that invites players to step into the vast and lush world of Evallis. In Arise, this forgotten corner of the world you find yourself in has remained untouched for centuries, its ancient ruins and lost history hidden beneath countless layers of time and overgrowth.
Your journey begins humbly with survival, as you tend to the basics of food, water, and shelter. As you gain your footing and begin to explore the world around you, the game begins to shift, and becomes a story of exploration and discovery, where every biome and corner of the map offers new materials, mysteries, and lore waiting to be uncovered.
As your skills and resources grow and grow, Arise shifts again, introducing community and civilization. You may construct homes that blossom into thriving towns, welcoming settlers to the land. Settlers can take on essential roles and free you from having to burden the weight of every task yourself, be it harvesting lumber, or mining minerals, farming crops, or crafting items.
Whether you’re a humble homesteader, content to live a peaceful life in your abode, or an ambitious builder striving to expand your city and reclaim the land from the dark forces that brought it into obscurity in ages past, the choice is entirely yours.
What excites me most about Arise is that it’s a game where the player’s experience is as expansive or intimate as they choose. You don’t have to follow a rigid path or meet any expectations. Instead, you can forge your own journey in a living, breathing world. This is only the beginning of what I hope will be an incredible adventure.
I can’t wait to share more details, updates, and progress as the development of Arise unfolds. Thank you for joining me on this journey!
