Hi everyone. I hope you’re all keeping an eye on Steam today as OMG Zombies! – Laughing Jackal’s fantastically addictive puzzle shooter – will be making its Steam debut very shortly.
Upon release at roughly 6pm GMT today you’ll be able to buy OMG Zombies! from the Steam Store here for the bargain price of $4.99 ($3.99 for the first week). Until then, why not hang out with other fans of OMG Zombies! on the game’s Steam forum which you can find here.
We’re delighted to be able to release Laughing Jackal’s first PC game (not counting their port of Agarest!) on Steam.
OMG Zombies! is based on OMG HD Zombies! (Vita), a massively enhanced remake of the critically acclaimed OMG-Z (PSP), which currently sits in the top 10 PSP games of all time on Metacritic.
For those of you who never experienced the simple joys of zombie-popping first time around, the zombie virus in OMG Zombies! is the result of a virulent fungus that causes its zombified victims to EXPLODE when attacked. That’s pretty cool in itself, but if any infected matter lands on another zombie then they’ll explode too, causing a chain-reaction tsunami of gore! Wise to this, as a highly trained Riot Cop, you’re able to use your wits to take down hordes of the undead with a single well-placed rifle round.
And since I haven’t mentioned this before for those of you who collect them OMG Zombies! will feature Steam Trading Cards.
Before I go I’d just like to give a massive thank you to all the beta testers who’ve been so helpful in searching out problems and making this PC release as good as it can be. Thanks everyone! :)
Speaking of beta testing and the Laughing Jackal team, they’re currently hard at work preparing an Agarest Zero build, and we’re expecting to enter beta soon, at which point we’ll select and notify the chosen beta testers.
I’ll be back next week, but until then why not follow us on our Twitter and Facebook pages, our Youtube Channel and our Google + account, where we’ll be posting all the latest news from Ghostlight? You can also follow me on Twitter for a more personal take on all things Ghostlight.

In last week’s announcement of Agarest: Generations of War Zero I promised we’d soon be sharing details of how to apply for the closed beta. To give you time to get your applications in, I thought I’d give you the details in this week’s blog.
So, how do you apply?
To enter the Agarest Zero closed beta all you need to do is to send an email to: agarest_beta@ghostlight.uk.com with your name, date of birth and the technical specifications of your PC.
As we only have a limited number of places available for the beta, feel free to tell us why you would be particularly suited to helping us with it. This may include previous experience in beta testing or anything else that you feel is relevant.
Applications will close on the 4th February, so please make sure to get them in before then. As with previous closed betas, we will not be picking people on a random or first-come-first-served basis, so do bear that in mind. What a ‘yes’ decision actually does come down to is rather varied and depends on how representative we feel the range of PC specs we’ve assembled for the beta is.
Thank you for your help everyone. :)
In other news, we’ve still got room for more beta testers in the OMG Zombies Steam beta. If any of you are interested in helping Laughing Jackal with the game, please contact the team here.
