Infectious Horde is a reversed take on a horde survival game where you play as the zombie horde infecting humans. Infectious Horde was made for GMTK Game Jam 2023, a 72-hour game jam with the theme Roles Reversed. For Infectious Horde, I took the reigns as our team's technical sound designer, setting up FMOD in Unity and teaching one of our programmers how to use it at the same time. Taking the time to set it up definitely helped us in the long run and I'm super glad we were able to take the time to practice getting everything set up beforehand.

For the music, I wanted things to feel aggressive and tense, but not in the way it would if you were trying to survive a horde scenario. Instead, I wanted it to feel like a driving force for the player to grow their team bigger and bigger, while still having that touch of loneliness common in the music for many zombie apocalypse games. My biggest inspirations for the soundtrack were Doom: Eternal and Project Zomboid - I think it came together super well and I'm still quite proud of it. 

Infectious Horde is available to play now on itch.io!
