PROJECT
Project Resurgence is a classic isometric RPG previously in development by Nectar Games Studios. It started as a passion project staffed by enthusiasts before being successfully kickstarted in February 2016. Originally built in Unity 4, it has transitioned over to Unreal Engine 4.
SUMMARY
Project Resurgence started as a small RPG passion project by Twitch streamer CohhCarnage, with a team mostly comprised of dedicated students and fledgling professionals. It needed distinct art direction for the game as well as nurturing of skills for the team members building it. Over the next year the team grew to almost 50 people, requiring coordination and communication across the virtual studio.
