The license to use UE3 for Dead Block is part of a multi-year, exclusive licensing agreement with Epic Games.
Dead Block is Candygun Games’ first original IP for the downloadable games market. Presenting a fresh, unique mix of arcade action and strategy game play, Dead Block features creative zombie-fighting combat with a rock and roll twist.

UE3 offers cutting-edge technology with the ability to develop multi-platform products in a highly efficient way. This proven engine solution and its integrated development environment shrinks development time, which is critical to enabling us to bring the vision of our game to life.
Working with teams like Candygun is exciting because they’re able to demonstrate how a small team with a lot of talent can make a fun, cross-platform game using Unreal Engine 3.
