{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32437501/08f0210d37af2677e9a66fdef2de9bd5f0d7d4ac.png Hello dear reader, and welcome to the last weekly developer article. I wanted to spend this update writing about the ways that you can make your life easier in Dead End Job, and some of the fun trinkets you can find lying around the locations you bust ghosts. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32437501/753574fe056d9e8a18282640c47108dd81246cff.gif Just like in real life, the main way that you can make things easier for yourself is by getting promoted, and in Dead End Job this happens whenever you catch enough ghosts.

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32437501/08f0210d37af2677e9a66fdef2de9bd5f0d7d4ac.png Hey, welcome back - this week I’m going to be writing about the workers of Ghoul-B-Gone, and some of the ghosts they fight. We set out to create a cast of characters based at a blue collar job. I didn’t want a typical hero and felt that making a world where ghost catching would be as glamorous as any other pest control was a nice twist. None of the people you rescue are afraid of ghosts, they’re just annoyed at the inconvenience to their day. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32437501/30f95e66213a02d8ac6e32c7e990f661da008a63.jpg There’s

That’s always a pain, especially going in to Winter. Anyway, in this update I wanted to write a bit about the thing that probably first drew your attention to Dead End Job - the lovely art. As I mentioned in an earlier article, I realised that my art “skills” wouldn’t be anywhere near good enough to do the game justice (if you want to know the extent of my art ability - the main characters in our first game were a pair of circles). {STEAM_CLA

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32437501/08f0210d37af2677e9a66fdef2de9bd5f0d7d4ac.png Hello, it’s Tony again! After last week’s post with the team behind Dead End Job, I wanted to write about how the game itself came to be. The very core of it came from asking the question “how would you make a twin stick shooter without any shooting?” I really enjoy playing games like Enter the Gungeon, Binding of Isaac, Nuclear Throne, and Tesla vs Lovecraft (though I am usually quite bad at them - more on that a different week, I think!) and wanted to make something along those lines, but at the same time they all focus

So I guess I’m probably the best person to tell you all about us and how this crazy ghost-filled shooter came to exist. Which I will do, over the coming weeks. It’ll be exciting, waiting for the next instalment. Like TV in the old days! Ant Workshop’s based in Edinburgh, Scotland (which is a lovely city that is exactly the right size and that has a brilliant fringe festival every year), and was a one-person indie company. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/3

BRING OUT YOUR DEAD! I am really thrilled to announce that our madcap twin-stick shooter Dead End Job is (ghost)busting its way onto Steam on Friday, the 13th of December — hauntingly appropriate, wouldn’t you agree? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8QkUsEe3iUo Within the upcoming weeks we are going to release several updates here on the Dead End Job page to talk about the various aspects of creating the weird, Ren & Stimpy-esque world of Hector Plasm, worker at Ghoul-B-Gone – ‘the Number One experts in paranormal pest control’!
