Zulubo Productions is a highly disorganized umbrella term for Zach’s creative work.

If we have a mission at all, it is to be a studio led collectively by its workers, whose fulfillment and well being should come first.

Lore

Zulubo Productions began with animations and amateur short films on a youtube channel created in 2010, but as Zach got into game development 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 had to finish high school, and both Errol and George left their active roles as they were busy with life. 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. Since then, development on Vertigo 2 has been his full time commitment, and it’s paying off as the game nears completion, some 7 years after the project was conceptualized.
