Coray Seifert, associate producer at Kaos Studios, started an online game design jam. The goal is the design of a game featuring alien-vampire zombies. Raph and I tossed some ideas around.

Vicious creatures from beyond the realms of the known universe have invaded Earth. Fortunately, these monsters are not the brightest bulbs in the shed and contact with light is fatal due to their thin, rotting flesh. These otherworldly beasts are a threat to humanity as their thirst is satiated only by the blood in the human brain.

As the leader of the Global Alliance, you are charged with resisting the enemy at any cost. Scientists in your employ devised a method of raising the dead, which provided a safety net for the living, but these resources have run “dry”—pardon the pun! The beasts are returning in increasing numbers from the caverns they tunneled beneath the Earth.

In response, your scientists have reversed the method to transform the living into the undead. Will you pave the way to victory with the blood of the innocent? Or will you sacrifice only those who are necessary to the cause?
