The idea was inspired from many sources but in the end he just decided to do it one day and made it so.

Yup. Dishwasher and Yuki are developing dreads. All that fighting and blood causes hair to do such things.
-
Should be fixed now!
-
It's almost as though you can read our minds. Keep a look out on our blog next month ;D
-
Thanks! We sure will. Probably closer to game release though.
-
Hopefully! No plans yet though.

Yuki and The Dishwasher lost their noses as part of the transformation process into the creatures they are now. They cannot smell and therefore find it easier to fight the legions of undead and other horribly smelly beasts. That, or it's just the drawing style.
-
Other than just drawing and drawing a lot of his own characters, there's not much else to say. He just kept drawing whatever he wanted to and today's style came out of it.

James tends to just write some lyrics in a notepad, record them and then the world never sees them again unless someone else listens closely and writes it down again. I would eventually like to get all the lyrics up somewhere.
-
We haven't thought about that yet but perhaps.
-
It's possible we'll get into some graphic novels for more back story but there's almost no chance we'll reveal much of it in any future games. Nope :) The Dishwasher's name will remain a secret, at least for now.
-
We don't want to get sued so we don't outright say we take suggestions. I have no idea who slinderman is so, nope. The Fallen Engineer is entirely from whatever is in James' head.

We've never gotten hate mail, exactly, but very rarely we'll get weird Xbox LIVE messages. They usually make so little sense that we can't tell what they are saying but the mood is negative.
-
Probably not although there has been a fan made video tutorial. He uses a wacom bamboo drawing tablet and now Photoshop although he used to draw in Paint Shop Pro.

River Road Noise Machine was a band James made up to compose a few songs under with his old roommates. One of which is still a cool friend, the other has since gone his own way.

Paka and the crow shooting lasers is a couch co-op mode where a second player can jump in at any time on another controller, press A and control the animal following Dishwasher or Yuki. The damage is very minimal but it sure is fun!
-
Depends on the day but we work 8+ hours a day. We're rarely not working. Dishwasher was the first full XBLA game, but James has been making games since he was very young. He made Survival Crisis Z and Zombie Smasher X pre-2005 among other games.
-
They aren't actual vampires, but something sort of similar. They don't need to feast on blood but have the vampire smile.
