Duck Duck Zeus – Unity based Game, 3D modelling, VR and AR content providers

About Us

We make stuff, in Unity.

A Brief History

DDZ was originally formed by 4 friends who met at university in 2008. Skipping forward to 2015 and after many trials and tribulations the team decided to band together, despite obstacles in both geography and lifestyle, to strive to pursue a career in self-published video game development. After several projects 2 members of the team moved on to different career paths. DDZ now consists of two of the founding members and continues to provide software solutions to clients. DDZ also has a capacity to hire freelance developers and artists depending on the workload allowing the company to shrink and grow based on demand.

The Founders

They weren't allowed to write their own Bio's

Abel Drew

Developer

The senior authority figure of the team and a researcher in educational video gaming. Abel remembers a simpler time when people didn’t use computers and just played with sticks instead.

Charlotte Hilton

Art

Charlotte sports an artistic flair and a talent for all things eccentric. She’s obsessed with the grotesque and broken things. She sees you when you’re sleeping. She knows when you’re awake.

Testimonials

Things people said.

“Our judges adored the break-neck speed of Mag-E, as well as the risk-reward tricking system, a feature which really cements the game’s addictive replayability factor”.

Paul Watson

Curve Digital

“Pretty solid endless runner … more of an enjoying challenge to see just how fast you can manage to go, which was pretty fun” (Comment on Mag-E)

Spencer

Pixel Vision

We worked with Duck Duck Zeus to produce a 3D reconstruction of a nineteenth-century interior that features in an academic article published in the online journal British Art Studies. DDZ worked creatively and efficiently with a challenging brief and patchy collection of source material to produce a stunning model and accompanying animation that investigates methods for reconstructing historical interiors. Their work has been exemplary in every respect.

Tom Scutt

Paul Mellon Centre

‘DDZ went above and beyond the call of duty in producing a game based on Jeremy Bentham’s infamous, unrealised Panopticon prison scheme. We were all delighted with how the game turned out, and have nothing but praise for the DDZ team’s dedication, professionalism, and skill in turning one of Bentham’s complex ideas into a playable, virtual reality.’

Dr Tim Causer

Bentham Project, UCL

I’ve been impressed when working with Duck Duck Zeus: their technical implementation skills plus their understanding of gameplay and their impressive working pace led to an enjoyable and successful project. I’ve been happy to recommend them to colleagues and look forward to working with them again in future
