Howdy,
Since it is the holiday season, we wanted to take the opportunity to introduce the team behind Don't Die in the West. Our team is a small group of talented people dedicated to creating fun games. We have a shared passion for the western genre, which inspired us to create Don't Die in the West.
Tommy H. - Lead Artist
”I am a creative octopus who loves to create all the visual elements you can imagine in a game. I have been working with games professionally for 12 years and playing them since I was old enough to handle a mouse and a keyboard.
We are a small but strong art team on DDITW. It includes Jan, Juan, and myself. Jan is our technical art wizard and Juan is an all-around gunslinger artist.
It's hard to pick just one western movie, but I think Tarantino did something extraordinary with The Hateful Eight.”
Tommy P. - Lead programmer
“I'm 37 years old and have been working on games professionally for the better part of 12 years.
As lead programmer, I act as the link between the many different disciplines working on the project. Together with Kasper and Daniel, I am making sure everyone has the technical tools needed to create an awesome game.
My list of great western movies is many, one of my favorites is the original Westworld movie from 1973 (the one that later inspired a very popular HBO series).”
Glen C. - Creative Lead
”I've been working with games for almost 15 years. First as a programmer, then designer, and now as the creative lead.
Together with Mette in the role of game and level designer we work on bringing our vision of the western frontier to life.
My favorite western is A Fistful of Dollars. It's a little rough around the edges, but you can feel all the care put into making it.”
