We’re excited to be a part of the third annual Day of the Devs! For one day only, we’re joining several other game developers to have a day of games, food, music, and art.

Day of the Devs will be held on November 7 from 3pm to 9pm at The Midway in San Francisco, CA. It’s an all-ages event and admission is free.

Portable

We’re bringing our portable arcade set up for Pit People and we can’t wait for you to play the demo! There will be one solo Pit People station and one multiplayer station for our newest mini-game in Castle Crashers, Back Off Barbarian. You’ll be able to play with up to four people so make sure to bring your friends or make some new ones!

Speaking of making friends, be sure to say hi to John and Anna. They’ll be there representing our studio and they can answer any questions you may have about our games.

If you’re planning on going, RSVP via this Facebook event page. If you can’t make it, then you can watch the live stream at Twitch.tv/DoubleFine on the day of the event!

Furbottom’s Features Upcoming Finale

by

LevelEditor

We’ve seen so many thoughtful and fun playlists built using the level editor in BattleBlock Theater and we’ve enjoyed playing through different community-made levels each week! To this day, the Community Theater is home to many fan creations that any fellow BBT player can access while online. Each week, our level designers took a dedicated chunk of time to play through several community playlists to highlight the best playlists in Furbottom’s Features.

 

However, with the end of the year approaching and Pit People development on-going, we looked into the future to see how we could continue supporting Battleblock Theater community content without stretching too much of our resources and manpower.

 

Furbottom’s Features set to repeat

 

Starting in December 2015, we will begin rotating encores of previously featured level playlists in Furbottom’s Features. We aren’t stopping the Furbottom’s Features updates completely, but instead we will be re-featuring playlists that were highlighted in the past. We will continue re-releasing special unlocks on a weekly basis through Furbottom’s Features or as a freebie unlock, but we will no longer post on our blog each week. The prisoner unlocks will only be posted on our BattleBlock Theater Facebook page + our Behemoth Twitter.

For the rest of November, we will continue our weekly search for our favorite community made levels to be the final features to be added into the Furbottom’s Features rotation. So if you’ve been working on some BattleBlock Theater levels, finish those up ASAP to be considered for the final Arena, Solo, and Co-Op features!

 

Here’s the schedule for the last of the new features we’ll highlight out of the community playlists:

 

11/6 – Arena Feature
11/13 – Solo Feature
11/20 – Arena Feature
11/27 – CoOp Feature

 

Community Theater remains

 

But don’t stop creating entirely! The Community Theater isn’t going away so we hope that you level designers out there will continue to build even after we end our weekly searches, because there will still be players who will continue to look for new levels to play.

And you never know! We may still put in a new Feature if we run across something amazing in the future!
