The Dishwasher: Dead Samurai

The Dishwasher: Dead Samurai, James Silva’s bloody, combo-centric slash ‘em up platformer, is coming out today (April 1st) for XBLA… for 800 points ($10). The game, in which you play an undead dishwasher/samurai, features a unique co-op mode where players can use a guitar peripheral to rain electric death upon their enemies.

James has also released a book on XNA titled Building XNA 2.0 Games: A Practical Guide for Independent Game Development, which details how he created The Dishwasher alone in a year and a half.

    It may be April 1, but this story is actually true. Even the book part.

    Finally! One of my favourite indie games of the last year, still got a beta laying around here from ‘08. Good to see it’s on Live :)

    Will there be a PC version? Wasn’t XNA easy PC portable? :/

    XNA basically runs off C#, and it is easy to use for both PC and you can convert to 360 with a click. But this is an XBL Arcade release, and not a community game. I’m pretty sure with Microsoft’s contract that it’d be pretty hard to distrib unless they wanted a PC version, and I’m sure contract prevents him from even talking about it. Though, I’m not too sure on the specifics so I may be wrong.

    I played the demo on 360, and it’s quite excellent! When I go to the bank I’m going to throw some money into my checking and pick up the full thing.
