Zulubo
Productions

                    Zulubo Productions is a loose umbrella term for the creative work of Zach Tsiakalis-Brown, and now also the name of his one-man game studio.
                    Our mission is to have a good time making games. This means making the games we want to make, and sharing profits fairly.

History

                    Zulubo Productions began with animations and amateur short films on a youtube channel created in 2010, but soon Zach was entranced by Virtual Reality, and the primary output has become VR games. In 2015, the first major project, Vertigo, was begun, with artists Errol Bucy and George Eracleous joining Zach to build the world. Vertigo was a modest success, and early work on Vertigo 2 started soon after.
                    However, Zach’s work was slowed as he was still in high school, and both Errol and George went their own ways. Development on Vertigo 2 was slow for several years. Zach took a contractor job at Valve to help with the launch of the Valve Index, and subsequently began college, leaving even less time for Zulubo work.
                    After feeling somewhat unfulfilled both at Valve and at college, Zach dropped out in 2020 to return to independent development. He started work on a remaster of the original Vertigo, launching it just a few months later to critical acclaim.
                    He went on to work on Vertigo 2 full time for 2 more years, releasing it in March 2023, some 7 years after the project was conceptualized. Vertigo 2 received multiple VR Game of the Year awards, and multiple DICE award nominations.
                    Zach is now working on several unannounced projects.
