Working on Dead Plate
Dead Plate was my first time working with jazz, and the first game I worked on that became so popular. I had a lot of fun exploring different jazz styles while drawing inspiration from 1960s French music and the game's restaurant setting while still leaving room for the darker and more unsettling moments of the story.
