Comic Con 2008 Day 4

by

I had originally planned to make daily posts, and even take some videos directly from the show floor but that didn’t really work out too well. It gets pretty crazy in random spurts, and we need to make sure that we’re helping everyone out with selling merchandise, and answering questions so the updates are not that frequent, sorry !!!

I had everyone turn around real quick so I could take a picture of them while they were hard at work.

In the picture above we have Bob from Newgrounds, Josh from The Behemoth, Billie, (master of tradeshows) Melissa, Noelle, and Sarah helping out with running the booth. Everything has been going extremely well as all of our Castle Crashers game demos have been occupied for the entire show! I’ll try to upload some more pictures tomorrow but before I go here’s one more picture of our fearless leaders Tom Fulp, and Dan Paladin sitting at the autograph side of the booth looking pretty tired after a long day at the “Con”

Hope everyone is having a good weekend, and remember if you’re in the San Diego area please stop by our booth (#5029) and say hello.

E3 2008 and Comic-Con

by

Our friends over at Gamespot had a chance to check out Castle Crashers yesterday for the first “official” day of E3 2008. They only had enough time to make it through part of the first level, but hey it’s better than nothing.

Some things to point out from the video, that some of you might have questions on:

  • Experience is based on the number of times you actually hit the enemy.
  • CPR — When you’re in a local or multiplayer match and one of your friends gets killed you can go over their body and perform CPR to revive them, and yes it’s pretty awesome.
  • When you level up your character you receive stat points that can go into the four main attributes of the game: Strength, Magic, Defense, Agility. In addition this you unlock more melee combos as you progress to higher levels.

In other news, we have Comic-Con coming up next week and we’re all going pretty crazy trying to get everything ready for the show. It’s going to be a pretty crazy time as our booth keeps getting more intricate and amazing every year. If you’re in the San Diego area on July 24th-27th please come by the San Diego Convention Center and visit us at Booth# 5029. We’ll have Tom Fulp, and Dan Paladin there providing free hugs, seriously just ask they love that stuff.

Beefy Mode

by

Edit: Sorry I broke comments yesterday, all is back to normal now, comment away!

Hello. I wanted to show everyone our Beefy Mode in Castle Crashers, and instead of showing you a screenshot of it in action I figured a very short gameplay video was long overdue.  Before we get to that here’s a little diagram that Dan put together to help further explain it. (sort of)

Beefy Mode is activated by eating some awesome PB&J sandwiches.

And here’s some footage of it in action ….
