Development background.
SUNRIZE : MECHANITE began as a school project developed by a group of college friends in and around Atlanta. Each from diverse backgrounds and majors, all sharing a love for Mecha and tabletop games. SUNRIZE : MECHANITE at its core is about having a good time with your friends while giant robots do cool stuff. (and the pitfalls of celebrity, technology, and capitalism.)

Hostile takeovers span the scope of entire planetary systems, and distant stars are oribited by nothing but corporate war.

RIZE. Corp's most ambitious and iconic advancement in weapons technology, gigantic, devastatingly powerful, modular combat mechs- created to intensify the ongoing corporate arms race of the 31st Century. The true nature of RIZERs are a closely guarded secret. Most believe them to be mere machines, but a select few have glimpsed the baffling reality – a biology that defies categorization, a horrifying blend of
advanced circuitry and sentient fungi- Mechanite Technology
. Eerie and unfathomable, the RIZERS are strangers to the conflicts that define humanity in the Interstellar Age, and to the monetary bonds that see them exchanged. Their very existence is an ironic hypocrisy: created only to destroy one another, blissfully unaware of their own loneliness, a concept only challenged by their interactions with those unfortunate enough to pilot them.
