Clocking in at more than 20 minutes, the new video features a clown car full of creative insight from the Mega Cat Studios team, exploring the game’s origins, inspirations, art direction, and audio design. The developers discusses how classic action films of the 1980s and 1990s influenced Lethal Wedding’s over-the-top action, how the cult classic SNES and Genesis shooter Zombies Ate My Neighbors helped shape its chaotic co-op gameplay, and the technical tricks used to push Genesis hardware to its limits.

The vlog also takes viewers behind the scenes of the game’s audio production, including collaboration with Team Fat, the legendary composers behind Zombies Ate My Neighbors, and dives into the surprisingly nuanced challenge of creating the perfect video game shotgun.

The new dev vlog arrives as Lethal Wedding’s Kickstarter campaign pushes toward several stretch goals, including exclusive cover art from LucasArts veteran Bill Tiller, an OST CD featuring selections from Team Fat, and console ports for Nintendo Switch, Xbox, and PlayStation.

About Lethal Wedding

When a drug ring of criminal clowns crashes a bachelor party and kidnaps the groom-to-be, it’s up to the bride and her mother-in-law to mount a rescue. Players will battle their way through psychopathic circus performers, bazooka-toting bearded ladies, and murderous mobsters across over 30 levels of carnage, all while juggling mother-daughter issues, wedding planning, and…literal jugglers.

Team up with a friend for intense couch co-op gameplay, and beware the innovative Vow System, which keeps the stakes high by challenging players to complete randomized objectives before reaching the end of each stage. You know what they say, “till death do us part!”

Will you and your partner make it to the altar? Prepare to Bride Hard when Lethal Wedding is live on Kickstarter now, and find out if you can survive the ultimate test of loyalty.
