New Year’s Update!

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.

Steam Remote Play Together Sale

It’s fair to say that it’s currently the perfect time for playing games together with your friends while you’re… not together, and thus, it’s the perfect time for the Steam Remote Play Together Sale! And the time is NOW! Right now!!

From March 25th through March 29th, get steals ‘n’ deals on all of our games in the Steam store! The classic fan favorites Castle Crashers and BattleBlock Theater will both be a whopping 80% off — the perfect price to pick up copies for you and your friends, and still have savings left over! You’ll also be able to get Pit People for 40% off, which is a great deal on our latest (finished) game. Grab your games of choice, then pretend you’re on your friend’s couch by using remote play to connect with one to three of your closest friends! (And by the way, remote play only requires the host to own a copy of the game, though for the most part your guests won’t be able to unlock things on their own Steam accounts through gameplay.)

If you need a Remote Play refresher, this Steam feature allows users to play games with local co-op modes together — even if they’re physically apart. You can learn more about this magical piece of technology right here.

So sit back on your maybe virtual couch with your maybe not-so-virtual friends and get to gaming! With DEALS!
