The brief by our publisher, was more epic, more enemies - and Zombies!


For the expansion titled The Dead and The Drunk, we created a new side story, 6 new levels, a more pulpy and vividly coloured atmosphere, new weapons, skills and game mechanics and general improvements to the base game.


I designed and cowrote the story together with our writer.

Created design briefs and overall layout for the levels.

Gameplay balancing, flow and feedback for our level designer.

I art directed our tech artist and worked with ambience in the levels including setting lights and fog.

I did environmental art dressing such as props and vegetation.

I created concepts for new characters and props. I also did storyboards and editing on the cut scenes.
