After a short hiatus on this feature we are finally back and it’s my pleasure to announce that our indie developer of the month for February is Serellan LLC, with their current project Takedown. A realistic squad based tactical shooter.

Last weekend we were lucky enough to sit down with Christian Allen, the creative director over at Serellan. Here’s a little background on the man himself

Christian is an experienced AAA game designer and creative director. Prior to founding Serellan LLC, Christian served as Lead Designer, Creative Director, and Design Director of several AAA game projects for Ubisoft, Red Storm Entertainment, Microsoft, Bungie, and Warner Bros. Games. Christian’s titles include the award-winning Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter and Halo: Reach. Titles he has contributed to have shipped over 15 million units, and earned over 20 “Game of the Year” awards in various categories.

TAKEDOWN is a thinking-person’s shooter. The player that takes things slow, aims carefully, and plans their moves right will overcome the player who runs in with guns blazing. Close-quarters battle brings the fight inside, as you would see SWAT teams or SOF units taking down small numbers of dangerous adversaries. Non-linear environments allow for multiple routes and tactics and add replay-ability.

Here is our interview with Christian.

Stay tuned for more details on takedown...
