Summary

With a ragtag team of survivors, it’s up to the player to keep their base of operations safe from zombie attack, equipment breakdown, and starvation.

Contributions

• Acted as personal tester for multiple Strike Teams, providing feedback for systems, UI, and gameplay.
• Met biweekly with developers to perform a large environmental test pass.
• Provided design feedback directly to team, most notable being the enhancement of the Feral zombie’s durability.
• Smoke tested the intro mission and basic gameplay daily, discovering and logging numerous bugs.
