Brian Mitsoda from DoubleBear was more than happy to chat to Critical Gamer about the company's recently announced zombie RPG – on the condition that we sacrifice someone for them to kill and reanimate, in the name of research.
As regular readers may have guessed, the CG tea boy position is open again…

Last month you heard about Jeff Strain's new studio Undead Labs, and his upcoming zombie MMO. In the wake of that exciting announcement, Kill Ten Rats was lucky enough to spend some time with Jeff in an interview.
They covered quite a few important questions: fast zombies or slow ones, why it's best to hide in a Costco in the event of a zombie apocalypse, those darn velociraptors, and why so many development companies are in Seattle.
The Reticule writes: "DoubleBear Productions is a new indie game studio headed up by ex-Troika Games legend Brian Mitsoda and Annie Carlson who worked on Neverwinter Nights 2: Storm of Zehir. Their mission? To make a ZRPG, Zombie Role Playing Game to be exact.
The ZRPG will be a third-person, turn based RPG using Iron Tower Studio's Age of Decadence engine. It will be open ended and there will be zombies. I was interested, but I wanted to know more, so I got in touch with Brian to have a quick chat about the company, the game and what has influenced him when working on this new project:"
Good interview! Good questions, interesting answer. Was waiting for a new good zombie game. Got to have one of those every once in a while!
I unashamedly love Bloodlines, so quite looking forward to anything Brian Mitsoda creates, espcially outside the confines of a big studio.
About time someone released a Zombie RPG. Getting tired of all the fantasy clones out there! Sounds great.
Awesome interview, looking forward to get game
