Deadline Games was a Danish game development studio, responsible for games such as Blackout and Total Overdose. I started working at Deadline Games when their engine, Kapow, was just getting ready with version 2.0. It was ambitious to develop and maintain an inhouse game engine, but the ambition paid off as Kapow was a really powerful engine with a fast build turnaround time and a very accessible inhouse scripting language. I worked as a game programmer on various prototypes and projects, including a project called "Faith and a .45" and a successor to the popular Globetrotter-series.
