Ziggurat Games is an independent studio that releases and reimagines classic
games with a focus on retro visuals and gameplay.
We are currently working with Ziggurat Games to create original comic stories to
support the release of the video game, Slave Zero X; an original prequal to the
classic 90s Dreamcast game.
Working closely with the creative team that developed the game we undertook a
deep dive into the expansive background material they had created that fleshed out
the history of the world and the main characters.

The brief called for a standard 20-page comic book but we decided to create three
6-page stories each showcasing a separate character from the game’s narrative
world.
We created a design system that allowed the artwork to be easily reconfigured to fit
different dimensions and formats depending upon which version of the game they
appeared in: from an Xbox video game booklet to a collector’s edition hardcover
artbook.
