I read the overview of the Zombie game and am intrigued. I am an American designer/ illustator living in Hong Kong working within the toy/ product/ packaging industry. I am looking to collaborate with a game designer in carrying that designers vision into a full on final product, which could potentially be an item to bring to market. I've been designing monsters/ zombies for many years for the Halloween market (product/ print) and enjoy the genre.
I agree that steam punk is a seperate theme that may not translate well into undead. Thought I like both themes, there are a few other cross over themes that could work better and be more marketable (ww2/ cowboys/ pirates/ space....) I should take a closer look at the rules for the posted zombie game and see it would keep me or anyone interested for more than 20 minutes.
What do I get out of this? I need a major portfolio piece that I can get engaged into to get me into designing for more game companies, specifically major mass market style projects. Also, I have access to several major game company's and if the initial game idea is solid enough, I could help the designer in getting the project off the ground and make some cash. Who knows? My time is quite limited so whatever project I take on board will have to be something I can get behind.
Take a look and my (beta) website for my commercial stuff. The monster/ fun stuff can be posted later in an upcomming blog.:
