Conjury Revell

Conjury Revell is a first-person shooter with wave-based arena combat over three levels, each with their own distinct environment. Play as a rebellious dissident fighting to rid their world of magical oppression and forge a better future for their city in the clouds.

This game was developed by a 27-person student team from SMU Guildhall over the course of 6 months, as part of the program's capstone Team Game Project (TGP) curriculum. The game also features a fully orchestrated soundtrack created in collaboration with the music team from SMU Meadows School of the Arts, which was created over the course of three months and featured in their Emerging Sounds concert.
