"James Silva, creator of The Dishwasher series, has stated that his influence in these games creation was his own work as a dishwasher which, he felt, did not garner as much respect as the work deserved. He has also pointed out that the legendary Bruce Lee was a dishwasher once as well. From there the idea was formed. That’s pretty much all of the influences I could find. While playing the game though I couldn’t help but notice a few mirrors to our own society." -Nathan from Leviathyn.com.
Hardcore Gamer: They brought multiple games to XBLA, some of which went on to become cult classics. These were Charlie Murder and The Dishwasher: Vampire Smile. Each title features hand-drawn, punk-inspired visuals and are tremendously gory.

"Today I’m (in)formally announcing that I’ve been working on Steam versions of Ska Studios’ Charlie Murder and The Dishwasher: Vampire Smile! The Steam versions will be available for Linux, macOS and Windows on day 1, and will include all the features of the Xbox 360 versions including online multiplayer, achievements and leaderboards. They will also be the debut titles for FNA.Steamworks, a new reimplementation of the XNA4 Xbox Live features for FNA (which all versions of the game will be using)."
Yeah, the gameplay evolution is quite evident. Still, I loved Ska Studios' earlier work, so I'm really happy that they are releasing both CM and The Dishwasher: VS on PC.
