British indie studio Size Five Games has been around since 2008 (originally going by Zombie Cow Studios), known for its comedic point-and-click adventure games, including a series where you actually play as the developers Dan Marshall and Ben Ward themselves, mostly recently Lair of the Clockwork God. In comparison, the studio's new game Earth Must Die resembles more of an adult cartoon you might stream on Netflix.
As Size Five founder, writer and director Marshall tells me, there's a very simple reason behind the leap from its previously more lo-fi titles: "It's the first game where there's been an actual art budget!"
