What is the inspiration behind your game?<\/strong> Growing up in the UK during the \u201980s and \u201990s, I was heavily influenced by the films and TV I watched as a kid. We\u2019re big fans of Doctor Who<\/em>, especially how weird and unsettling it can be. The old Hammer Horror films were also a big influence,\u00a0 full of outlandish, over-the-top, raucous characters. Musically, we drew inspiration from bands like The Clash, Madness, and The Specials. Some of those albums were on repeat during development. You\u2019ll find a lot of those influences lurking inside There Are No Ghosts at the Grand<\/em>.<\/p>\n

How did you get into the games industry?<\/strong> I started out as a graphic designer and marketing artist for video games, working on titles like Crash Bandicoot<\/em>, Spyro the Dragon<\/em>, and the FEAR<\/em> games. Eventually, I moved into development as a user interface artist. Years later, while working on Friday Sundae\u2019s debut game, that old mix of action, humour, and horror from my marketing days came back to haunt me, and helped shape There Are No Ghosts at the Grand<\/em>.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n
