When we played the game as a kid in the arcade halls we were immediately hooked. There were various games that gave us inspiration for making Guns, Gore & Cannoli but one of the games that really sticks out is probably the Metal Slug series. What games are some of your biggest inspirations, graphics- and/or gameplay-wise? Every line that made us laugh during production was put into the game. Even the voice actor came up with a bunch of great one-liners. Vinnie really has some great one-liners that would even please the Duke himself – who came up with those?īlurting out one-liners while killing enemies just gives so much more personality to character, so we felt that was a must have for Guns, Gore & Cannoli.ĭuring the entire production of the game everyone of the team would come up with some good one-liners. To make things more interesting we made up a cool story, set in the roaring 20’s. The guys who really would be able to fend of hordes of living dead relatives would be stone-cold fearless, armed-to-the-teeth gangsters. The army, rednecks, the police… it seemed to obvious and to mainstream. Who would have the most chance of surviving a zombie-apocalypse? Regular people don’t have guns. We asked ourselves what would make a great zombie story. Actually, the idea for Italian/American mafia concept had more to do with the zombiepart of the game.

Nobody on the team has any Italian roots. You always have to make the consideration of how much you can spend.ĭoes anyone of you have Italian roots or why did you decide to go with Italian-American references? It’s kind of a leap in the dark because you don’t really know how well sales will go. The rest is always a balancing practice between costs and return. We had a bit of government support from the Flemish game-funding program to get started with the development. Making a game is a very long, slow and money consuming activity. The greatest challenge for every small studio is by far the financing. The fact that we were about to release our first game on Steam, Xbox one, PS4 and Nintendo Switch was really exciting. What part of this game are you most excited about and what was the greatest challenge?

After this we decided to develop a video game together named ‘Guns, Gore & Cannoli’. Claeysbrothers do the creative part like art, animations & design.Ĭrazy Monkey Studios and Claeysbrothers have already worked together on some other projects in the past. Guns Gore & Cannoli is a co-production between Crazy Monkey Studios and Claeysbrothers.Ĭrazy Monkey Studios produces the game and takes care of the promotion and development such as programming, artificial intelligence, user interface and porting to all platforms. Crazy Monkey Studios and the Claeys Brothers – who is who?
