About Zero Degrees Games
ZDG is a small independent game development studio based in Johannesburg, South Africa. It was formed in 2015 by former editor of NAG Magazine (a now-defunct South African gaming print magazine) Geoff Burrows, who is the lead developer, designer, writer, and artist on Among the Innocent. Part-time members of the team are Richard Braum (music, story), Bevan Wall (production, story), and Duncan Bell (additional art). Among the Innocent is our inaugural title, and we intend to grow with the Stricken series over the coming years.
