4th Anniversary Daily Deal

Dead Estate is 66% off ALL WEEK!!

This is an all-time-low discount. Don't miss out!

It's hard to believe it's already been four whole years since the full release of Dead Estate, and that we're already coming up on a year since the final update!

Every one of us at Milkbar Lads is happy to know that people are still enjoying this game that we devoted years of our lives to working on and we hope that you guys continue enjoying it well into the future! :)

Console ports are still underway and I've been working on them pretty much all year. I'd be lying if I said that there hasn't been lots of headaches involved with developing these things, but the whole process has been incredibly enlightening. We're looking forward to having the ports out as soon as possible.

In addition to working on ports, I'm really excited to say that we've begun developing our second "big" game! I won't say too much about it now - it's still pretty early in dev - but I will say that it's a very self-indulgent project and I got the idea for it after playing lots and lots of UFO 50 (which is a real frontrunner for one of my favorite games released in the last...ever. Play it!). Mumba enjoyers will have a lot to chew on. That's all!!!

Again, thank you all so much for supporting Dead Estate and Milkbar Lads and 2 Left Thumbs! We'd be absolutely nothing without the people who played Dead Estate, spread the word about it, shared it with their friends, made videos on it, checked out all the updates, or anyone who's been patiently waiting on the game's console release(s).

(As always, shoutout to Newgrounds as well! We owe that site an unfathomable debt and if you're an artist, animator, musician, or game dev looking for a place to share your work there's absolutely zero better place to do it than on Newgrounds)

More from 2 Left Thumbs

2 Left Thumbs simply wouldn't exist as it is today without the positive reception and success seen by Dead Estate. This wonderful game allowed me to lay a more solid foundation, and continue investing in new talent on projects I myself am excited to play.

Bringing things somewhat full circle, one of the big new titles I've got coming in early 2026 is a horror-themed roguelike that first cut its teeth over on Newgrounds.

This is the team-based roguelike autobattler: Underboard

Underboard Be sure to check out the extensive Steam demo! It offers a steep challenge and high replayability. It would help me and the team out immensely if you have that game a Wishlist. And in celebration of Dead Estate's Anniversary, the devs have added a fun mini update. Thank you all for everything!
