Alien Hominid Invasion – Page 15

It’s been the spookiest of times, it’s been the artiest of times. And it’s been an absolutely incredible return to hosting contests here at The Behemoth!

We are so grateful to every single person who entered a masterpiece into our Behemoth Halloween 2022 Art Contest, and to everyone in our Discord server providing some good Halloween discourse. There was an unearthly amount of aliens running around in their first ever Halloween costumes this year: some adorable, and some horrifying.

Also, the amount of talent that you all have hiding up your sleeve? I don’t have any Twix up my sleeve like that! (I ate all mine already on Halloween…)

Before we get to it, we wanted to let you know; due to the influx of costumed aliens pouring out of the sky and crash landing on Earth, we have decided to add some extra winners to all the categories, and some extra prizes. If we were able to, we would give each and every human who entered some sort of prize. Maybe we’ll send each alien with a briefcase of stickers to scatter as they land to Earth.

So without further ado…

Winners of the “Greatest Extraterrestrial Costume” Award:

Winners of the “Spooky Scary Alien” Award:

Until next time, spooky aliens.

We have been very busy since the beta, mulling over the data, making the improvements you asked for, and seeing who can build the biggest snowman(current record: 3 ice cubes high, not much snow in San Diego).

December Developer Update Recap:

Right before Christmas, Dan went over the new Alien Hominid Invasion changes on stream, so we made a list (and checked it twice) of some of the changes in case you missed them.

New Enemies: Inchworm + Big Crab
You can now change difficulty on a save!
Sewer Children have a chance to sell a weapon in game
HUD redesigned and follows players
Alien picks up speed when running
Highest Aggression raised on agents
Normal Difficulty max hearts down by one

We learned a LOT from the time everyone poured into the Beta, so we thank you for the best present ever: data! These are only a fraction of the changes we made, but many of them came from direct player requests; thanks for helping us make the game the best it can be!

Check out the recap video here!

Speaking of the beta…

Beta Challenge Submissions:

Many of you made submissions to our Beta Challenge, so we wanted to highlight the runs, strategies, and builds you all used to climb the leaderboards. I’m so proud of everyone I could cry! Too bad chickens don’t have tear ducts.
