About the game
Mirlo Above the Sun is a 3D video game project we developed as senior students at DigiPen Institute of Technology Europe Bilbao using Unreal Engine 4. The team was composed of 5 programmers, 5 artists, and a musician. It took us 8 months to develop the game while most of us were finishing the bachelor’s degree.
