As we announced on Friday, June 7th, Lever Games is now a part of Torn Banner Studio!
We sat down to speak with Narrative Lead Matt Kazan (Originally of Lever Games) about the decision to look for assistance in developing No More Room in Hell 2, and what prompted finding someone that could work with Lever Games in the follow-up to their still playable award-winning 2011 Source Mod, and our Game Director Leif Walter about Torn Banner stepping into the horror game space.
A key driver to wanting to work with another studio is that game development takes a lot of time. When the developers were younger, they had more time, but now as they get older and have families, it became more difficult to work full time, then come home to work on No More Room in Hell 2. The team really wanted to take the time though, and find the studio that matched their passion and enthusiasm for the project.
For Torn Banner, it made sense. Here was a great opportunity to work on a horror game that aligned their key inspirations for a zombie game, had a shared heritage as modders, and a deep connection on how the two teams approached game design.
Like Zombies and Brains, Lever Games and Torn Banner came together to work on No More Room in Hell 2, continuing the vision of playing through a zombie movie with your friends to bring the cinematic experience to our community.
