Light of Alariya: Download the New Version in March 2023

The upcoming game, Light of Alariya, is a highly anticipated open-world experience that marks several ambitious 'firsts' for SMU Guildhall, including its first open-world game and first game built using Unreal Engine 5. Developed by a team of 27 master's students from the university, along with 26 musicians and voice talent from the Meadows School of the Arts, Light of Alariya is set to be released on Steam in March 2023.

The game was created through an interdisciplinary approach, where student leads organized into teams to produce three games based on their specializations in Art Creation, Level Design, Production, and Software Development. This teamwork-based learning experience is a fundamental part of the educational program at SMU Guildhall, allowing students to work together in a creative atmosphere to make design decisions and realize them in a meaningful way.

Throughout the development process, team members made significant contributions to puzzle design, open-world design, art design, or system structures. The game's life cycle spanned from concept greenlight to publication, with each stage requiring collaboration and cooperation between different disciplines.

Light of Alariya is not only a testament to the skills and creativity of SMU Guildhall students but also an opportunity for gamers to experience the culmination of their hard work.

With its innovative approach to game development and stunning visuals, Light of Alariya promises to be a thrilling gaming experience. Mark your calendars for March 2023 and get ready to dive into the world of Light of Alariya.
