The studio

Games where you take command

I'm Erick. I founded Rising Warrior Games in Chattanooga to build competitive, system-driven games where players take control instead of just reacting. They are built around meaningful decisions, aggressive interaction, and mechanics that reward strategy over luck.

Zombie Overlord sat on a shelf for a few years while life happened: COVID, a taco business, a move to a new state, a wedding, two kids. The idea never left. When things settled down I came back to it, and I've worked on it almost every day since.

This is just the beginning. I'm excited to continue building games and expanding the world of Zombie Overlord.

I want to make games that put players in command, where strategy, chaos and personality collide.

Stay in the loop
