Techland announces Project Hell, an upcoming first-person hack-and-slash game that started off as an internally developed modification for Dead Island, their zombie adventure (thanks G4tv). Some details and artwork can be found on SharpenYourAxes! the game's official development blog, where word is:

It was a proof that chopping monsters frozen by magic spells using two-handed swords is brutally fun and addictive. This mod made such an impression that MZM was given a few people from the company to help (including my humble self) and a chance to create a game prototype – but that’s a story for another post. What’s most important right now is the fact that we have independence in developing Project Hell (bear in mind it’s only a code name) and we want to keep you up to date with details about it on this blog.

Everything posted here is work in progress which you can comment convincing us in our greatness or causing us to go home and rethink our lives. We will also ask for your help in making some decisions.
