We made Jack a comic book fan, and we based the entire vibe of the game around it.

This was the final look for Jack, we wanted a clean and simple character that could be customized as much as your heart desired.

We decided to go with a Zombie King, but we wanted to keep a very contrasting silhouette compared to Jack. This Zombie would call on his lackeys to fight for him.

Jack would document every kind of zombie he finds, and the player could look it up for tips and other things. Maybe the true villain is the butler?

We wanted a very handmade look for his weapons to show how creative you can be with the resources you find while exploring.

First character exploration, we knew early on what type of silhouette we wanted for Jack, so we explored a lot of looks with it.

Here we were exploring other silhouettes and age difference, as well as clothing/armor. Since Jack would’ve stayed home for the first week, we wanted to show how “unprepared” he was by having handmade armor.

More “final” iterations, we decided to mix the first one with another design made by a colleague.
