MAKING XERO
The Dr. Xero character, designed and illustrated by Harley K at Necrographix, began life in 2014 as the focal art piece of the “love-letter to video games” album covers of the band Third Ion. He’s since been on two album covers, a DVD jacket, a handful of T-Shirt designs, and has been the subject matter of several Third Ion songs. It was inevitable that he would star in a game of his own.
Development of Xero Hour started in late 2018 by Third Ion guitarist Justin Bender, using the Unity Engine. The game’s soundtrack is entirely made up of 8Bit rendered Third Ion songs, and some key artwork by @aiyopixel.
In 2020, Justin founded Bitwad Entertainment to publish Xero Hour and future Xeroverse games TBA.
