Gun Interactive Brings the Sounds of the Saw to Life in New Making-of Video for ‘The Texas Chain Saw Massacre: The Game’ [Watch]
Since you loved the behind-the-scenes footage the first time, Gun Interactive is back with another video showing off the process of record audio and sound effects for their upcoming multiplayer horror game The Texas Chain Saw Massacre. The focus of the featurette is none other than the titular tool of devastation itself.
In the video, sadly it’s not Kane Hodder doing the dance, but Gun President and CEO Wes Keltner gives it his all. Joined by Foley FX artist Lord Kayoss and veteran SFX recording artist Watson Wu, the trio explains the challenges in attempting to recreate the original chainsaw and subsequent sound effects of the original 1974 film.
In fact, when asked by a fan on Twitter regarding the efforts, Wes stated that it was “very hard” to track down the actual chainsaw model. “We located 3. Sourced parts. Rebuilt. Took about 6 months in total.” Even then, when it came down to doing the dance, Wes ended up killing the saw while doing it. “You’ll hear it sputter out and I say ‘That’s it!’.”
The video also features brand-new footage from the game, as well as a detailed breakdown of the work behind VFX recording.
The Texas Chain Saw Massacre: The Game launches later this year for the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series, and PC via Steam.

Kickstarter Goal Achieved for Video Game Adaptation of ‘Lady Death’ Comic With ‘Lady Death Demonicron’
Lady Death fans will be getting a video game to call their own. Franchise creator Coffin Comics has announced that Lady Death Demonicron, a canonical beat-em-up video game in the Lady Death universe, has been funded on Kickstarter and is currently in development for PC via Steam, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and the Nintendo Switch, courtesy of developer Art of Play Games.
With Lady Death Demonicron, the Lady Death franchise marks its 30th anniversary, which began way back in 1994 (though the character first appeared back in 1991). The Kickstarter for Lady Death Demonicron launched just three days ago, and has already reached its goal of $150,000 USD, with the campaign on until May 24.
“We’re excited to handcraft the next chapter of Lady Death in video game form with the creator of Lady Death Brian Pulido and his incredible team,” says Ash Nicholls, Director at Art of Play. “It’s time for Lady Death to conquer the video game space with the leadership of Art of Play,” says creator Brian Pulido. “Demonicron is true to Lady Death’s savage spirit. I can’t wait for players around the world to get their hands on it.”
Lady Death Demonicron will centre on Lady Death (naturally), who just wishes to mourn her friend in peace. Unfortunately, a horde of demonic enemies has swarmed the cemetery gates. These malevolent forces hound Lady Death between realms, invoking a hunt through alternate realities that bring forth a sinister mystery. Poised to help is Ravenheart, a haunted swordsman prepared to accompany Lady Death through these ominous realms in search of answers to a convoluted mystery.
In Demonicron, players will move through hand-drawn environments, accessing the heroine’s lethal sword skills, destructive magic, and strong intuition. You’ll be able to upgrade your kit as you battle through the beat-em-up’s 15 levels, earning new swords and uncovering brutal finishers to slay a path to victory.
