ABOUT
Dead On Games is run by me, Elise Burton. I'm a full-time game developer from Northern Ireland. In my spare time, I make games inspired by internet horror, nostalgic early game visuals and retro survival horror games.
RECENT ACTIVITIES
After a lot of hard work and collaboration with Sound Engineer Ryan Haritgan, we took a demo of Be Not Afraid to NI Game Dev Network's 'Play my demo' event! We got an opportunity to show off the work we'd done in the last few months, talk to some local creators, and get some fantastic feedback from playtesters!

BE NOT AFRAID release
"BE NOT Afraid" is available on Itch.io and can be played for free! Completing and releasing this game was a significant achievement. Ryan and I dedicated a substantial amount of effort to its development, and we are very pleased with its initial release. Plans are in place to continue updating the post-launch, but for now, we are taking a well-deserved break.
Moving to Edinburgh
I'm excited to share that I'm relocating from Northern Ireland to Edinburgh for a new job opportunity. While I'm thrilled about this next chapter, it's bittersweet to be leaving the amazing team at Buck Eejit.
Gamerfest 2025
What an honour to take the GamerFest stage this year as a game dev panellist for Gaelic Football 25! 🎤🎮 This was my second time at GamerFest with Buck Eejit Games, but my first time speaking and the reception was fantastic! Got to chat about console development, the joys (and pains) of porting, and how we’re optimising everything across all platforms. Thanks to everyone who came out, asked us questions, and shared their excitement for the game. Huge credit to the dedicated Buck Eejit team who worked tirelessly to prepare GF25 in time for this event!
