Happiness

At dead-on entertainment, we work hard in the job we love so passionately. We are proud and thankful to be working for clients who share and appreciate our notion of high quality and work ethics. The best pay is our clients’ expressions of happiness and satisfaction.

“dead-on entertainment is a top company. The quality of work is the best you will find and they are a pleasure to work with. This was my first time working on an iPhone application. I am very glad that I chose Dead-on, and I will use them for all future projects! I gave them the concept of the app and they created an amazing theme, delivered ahead of schedule, and answered all questions. I couldn’t be happier with the results.”

Thank you, Eric!

Better buy dead-on

StormwarriorsWhy should you have us work for you? First of all, our graphics are unique. No one else delivers dead-on graphics.

While it might be a huge time-saver, allowing for lowest-cost production, we find copying or cloning other artist’s work terribly boring. That’s why we just can’t help but to come up with something original and exciting for each and every project you entrust us with.

Reliability and accuracy are important to us. Not only deadlines and stipulated milestones but also those tiny details such as screen resolutions and filenames are things we always get right the first time. No one wants to be disappointed and we prefer to inspire you instead.

Again: We would rather go out of business than give up our passion for creating original art and delivering reliably. (In fact, we did once go out of business because of this refusal. Luckily, we were able to come back!)

Summer 2010 News

Dear clients and partners –

we are diving right into 2010′s second half and while some developers are already laying finishing touches on their products for christmas, we would like to take the opportunity to give you a quick update.

For us at dead-on entertainment it has been a great half-year. We were surprised by the large amount of orders from foreign countries, particularly for our 2d graphics. The work for clients from Russia, Italy, Austria, Turkey, Finland and the USA brought us many impressions and experiences. All of you profit from this variety because these experiences enlarge our pool of artistic creativity from which we draw for each and every project.

Also, once again we feel confirmed in our focus on high quality and originality. We love our work and each of our products. To keep pursuing this passion, the numbers just have to fit. We are not available for artistic compromise or dumping prices.

Alongside our most popular products, hand-drawn 2D art of all kinds (just have a look at our gallery) we have started to offer the whole spectrum of 3D work as well. With our new member -an old acquaintance and good friend of the dead-on family- we are happily accepting jobs for modelling, texturing, animation, rigging and all sorts of specialised, highly technical jobs.

Not only due to the renaissance of 2D-gaming on various platforms, we keep getting requests for our illustration and animation capacities. Even the most sophisticated of modern 3D Shooters use 2D elements throughout the game. With our strong background in interface design we are able to help many teams not only on the conceptual side but in final production as well. All of this is keeping us busy.

Even though our focus is the creation of 2D assets, some of you know very well that we also provide our programming resources. While this may lead to our own current gaming pet project being on hold for some more time, we are not in a hurry to rush its completion. As we say in Germay “Haste makes waste”.

I would like to conculde this letter with my sincerest gratitude: It means a lot to us to be working for you. The appreciation of high quality is the only way to move forward, the only way to create something memorable.

Have a great time – all of you!

Best regards,
Felix Olschewski

TKO Tiles

TKO Tiles for iPad is now available. This highly addictive game from TKO Software offers you 4 levels of difficulty up to a mind-boggling 6×6 puzzle. We at dead-on entertainment had a lot of fun creating all the graphics for this game and working for TKO Software was nothing but sheer pleasure.

Make sure to buy the game at the App Store. It is worth every cent and you are guaranteed to get virtually unlimited puzzles, a great playing experience and a bunch of really beautiful graphics. For more of those, visit our gallery.

“When looking for someone to develop your graphics, there’s no need to look beyond dead-on entertainment. These guys far exceeded my expectations, were incredibly great to work with, delivered ahead of schedule, and their work is just fantastic. I can’t say enough about what a great experience this was and how please I am with their work. They have my highest recommendation and in the future when I need more graphics, dead-on will be the first ones I contact. Just incredible! Thanks again guys! It was a pleasure and your work is out of this world! ”
