Castle Crashers is completely completed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I feel really great about how the final product has come out after playing through a few times last night. I’m very proud of what our team was able to accomplish. This game is undoubtedly the largest 360 XBLA game that has any kind of story; Large in scope, takes hours and hours to go through with your buddies. Lots of little treasures and secrets hiding around the levels, many unlockable characters all with a different feel, and lastly, no real weak spots in the game that I can foresee haunting me for the rest of my life. 🙂

Now before anyone goes to turn on their 360 to give it a look please note that it takes a couple months at the very least from this point. It has to go through all the required hoops of certification/final testing & all that jazz before it will actually become available on the service. Because of this, amongst other things, there is no actual release date that we can give anyone right now. However I have to say it’s a good feeling know that the crashers are working their way into the world as you are reading this, isn’t it?

I have included new screenshots of a couple levels being played above. Here you can see danger in the dreaded ice arena, as well as the war in the bear village (this was also posted in the media section ).

I (and the rest of the team I am certain) want to thank you all for the patience you have shown as we worked on this project. We too were anxious for the game to be finished – but we just could not rush and end up risking the quality! The fan art and the amazing support we’ve received while working on this game has really uplifted our spirits and helped create something better than we would have been able to otherwise. You guys are awesome — thank you very much!!!!!

We are STILL MAKING UPDATES to this devblog! We will still be showing characters, animal orbs, videos, weapons, and other updates as usual, so don’t think we’re wrapping this up!

  1. I have to say, Dan, you have done some of the most impressive off-the-cuff artwork of anyone I’ve ever seen. The time-lapse videos of you creating levels are amazing. I’m sure you get this alot, but I just wanted to say how much I (and others) appreciate the work you’ve put into this game.

  2. It saddens me deeply to know I will not be able to play this game. I have been keeping up with it and am really excited that its about to be released… but alas… I have no xbox. Where is the PC love?

  3. I never noticed this page until 3 minutes ago, when I was looking at the forums. I’ve anticipated this game for over 2 years, if I remember correctly.
    Like ConraDargo, this is the main reason I wanted an xbox 360.

  8. Excellent work, All the new character work really shows you\’re trying to move on to other exciting ideas. Whtaever will become of you, can only lead to better games coming out for us.

    You should consider working your medium into other genre\’s of gameplay. I\’d love to see what you would have to offer when it comes to the Fighter genre, or even Racing.

    It must be rewarding to have such a dense fan base who support your every sketch. I can only ever dream to be in your shoes one day.

    Cheers, and well done. Enjoy the next few months reaping the benefits of your talents.
