Fergus Mills of TheKoalition.com writes: The Dishwasher: Dead Samurai is a game created by James Silva originally using the XNA tools for the Xbox 360. The Dishwasher ended up winning Microsoft's Dream Build Play contest a year and a half ago and the demo on Xbox Live had the internet going nuts. The game was so nice that Microsoft ended up throwing some money at James and even gave him an Xbox Live publishing deal to make this a full title Xbox Live arcade game. Now the Dishwasher is complete and ready show off all its glory (I probably should say gory) for Xbox owners to go out and purchase.

They took a bit of time to answer some questions about their latest title 'Salt and Sanctuary' and give some insight on the development process over at SkaStudios."
The earliest generations of video gamers have now grown into the people who create all forms of entertainment. Among them is Schenectady, New York resident Michelle Juett Silva. As one-half of the married couple behind indie video game developer Ska Studios, she has turned a lifelong love of video gaming into a storied industry career.
