"Rize of the Summonds" is a unique 2D medieval style metroidvania game, in which player has the power to transform into legendary Summonds along their journey in the Kingdom of Elaria. Use the transformations of the fearless Dragon, stealthy Wraith, heavy Orc, agile Cat and many more; each equipped with unique abilities in order to traverse new areas, defeat enemies, complete challenges, overcome traps and solve mysterious puzzles. The heavy Orc's weight to step on pressure plates, agile Cat's speed to jump high and run fast are just a few of the unlocked abilities.





My independent game "Rize of the Summonds" is now on Kickstarter crowdfunding website. Any donation and support is greatly appreciated. We will use the funds to recruit a few more developers, to speedup and polish production. This will allow the game to release quicker and more polished. Share and Like this post as well.

I'm kind of liking the name "High-Rize Studio" or "High-Ryze Studio." Thank you for your suggestion.

After hearing positive feedbacks from our fans, we are revamping our character art style to make it more cohesive with the environment art.



Displaying Akira (the protagonist character) standing on top of a rock platform, that's going to be used for the Skyzone level.

Created a before and after collage for some of our characters. The after images are more vibrant and saturated, well-suited for our new art style. Do you all like our new art style?

There is a studio called Hi-Rez, seems prone to confusion. (They make Smite, Tribes, and Paladins).

Thank you for the heads up. I will have to think of another company name then.

(Enemy - Skeleton Lvl 3 Polished) We designed a skeleton character who seems small and vulnerable, but actually have the strength to carry a big shield (on the left hand) and a massive sword (on the right hand). Thinking 100% realistically will penalize your creativity at times. Therefore, we followed this formula for all of our characters:thinking outside the box and coming up with new/cool ideas).

In this screenshot, Akira (the protagonist) is inside the Dragon Lair zone. The artist provided concepts for the background and the foreground. I have a question for you all, since our game will have verticality to the levels, how should we go about implementing the backgrounds into our game? Should there be a gigantic image, or smaller seamless texture images, or another method? Can you provide links, unity plugins, and other tools that will help us with this task? Thanks.

Dragon Lair Zone Official Music:
What are you guys thoughts on the official background music for dragon lair zone?

Team is working on mutliple tasks. Plan on having a build and more videos/trailers by April 6th so we can submit our game for Terminus Conference and Festival(we can win awards and showcase our game, if selected).

[RizeoftheSummonds]

We are currently working on revising the levels and adding particle effects, sounds, and other visual/audio feedback. Will upload gifs and screenshots of this, later on.

What do you guys think? Open to any feedback.

Note that the project is still a work in project. We are currently updating the level to expand and add ramps and curves to the platforms, updating some of the characters and adding more characters as well as scripting better smarter A.I system. We are going to be displaying possibly 2 trailers, since we need to create them to compete in the "Terminus Conference + Festival" contest. Wish us luck!!

[RizeoftheSummonds]

The team is focusing on creating our company's website and revising our Game Design Document (GDD) so that it's a maximum of 10 pages long. The Terminus Conference + Festival contest deadline is tomorrow (4/6/2017) at midnight pacific time. We are in preparation to submit. We will gain more exposure through this contest and future conventions and competitions.

Make sure you crossfade your audio files. There's lots of digital pops on the downbeats

Maybe it's just me? sometimes I have streaming issues

Thank you for this useful information. If this continues to be an issue, we will make sure that this is fixed.

[RizeoftheSummonds]

We submitted to the Terminus Conference + Festival contest before midnight, last night. We should be notified by May 11th, on if we are finalists or not. I'm super excited just because this is our very first contest that we are participating in

[RizeoftheSummonds]

Bugs that we are going to fix!:
1) Ever since I added the background images (The gates located in the background), each summond glitches behind them for a second, when switch between move left and move right.
2) Some of the enemies just launches into the air for no reason, lol.
3) The platforms are overlapping each other, at the corner.
