Len has lead the creative direction of Pixel Noir with his team of artists, level developers, concept artists and story writers with the goal to tap into a gaming audience who is nostalgic for the old days of 16 bit pixel art graphics, deeper stories, and fast-paced system mechanics of today's gaming experiences. Last year SWDTech Games launched a Kickstarter campaign for Pixel Noir that exceeded their base goal funding by 200+%. With the success of the kickstarter campaign, SWDTech Games is currently developing Pixel Noir for multiple consoles including PC, Playstation 4, and Xbox One.
