Mood Board: Left 4 Dead

You can't make a zombie horror game without making a mood board of Left 4 Dead. 
In this present day its the closest thing you can get to the stereotypical zombie survival game and it shares a few similarities with my own game. 


For one there are 5 characters. 3 males and 2 females. They are all from different backgrounds and walks of life, some have more conflicting personalities than others which causes conflict in the group whilst others act as the peace keepers.

The infected are also quite similar as there are different "breeds" of infected each with their own unique trait that sets them apart from the rest of the infected. Its these creatures that are to be feared and avoided the most.

The character artwork is also very nice for Left 4 dead and has a reasonably simple blocky style which I'd like to experiment with in the future. All of the characters of L4D are seen holding weapons also which gives insight into the characters personality as the more shy characters have smaller guns and the outgoing or rowdy characters have larger weapons.
All of these things I'll definately be experimenting with in the near future.
