Goodbye 2014

Here’s John bowing to the Kyoto mascot, Mayumaro

 

From Japan to Boston to everywhere in between, we traveled quite a bit this past year and had several game highlights along the way–including BattleBlock Theater launch on Steam and unveiling our next game at Pax Prime!
 
BattleBlock Theater (STEAM VERSION) came out for PC and Linux in May this year. Since then, we’ve been rolling out special unlocks at least once a week and we’re close to releasing the final prisoners! We will be giving out the final prisoner on Steam sometime early 2015 and then we start doing re-releases like we’ve been doing on XBLA.

This was our first live stream of Game 4 (PAX East @ Twitch Stage)

 

Our 4th game title (Affectionately named Game 4) had its first playable demo at PAX Prime, and we did several live streams to show off the gameplay as well. Check out the temporary site here: http://www.thebehemoth.com/game4
 
Let us know what you’d like to see more of from Game 4 and we’ll do our best to share more in 2015!
 
It’s difficult to cover all of what we did in the past year in a single blog post, so we decided to do a sentimental year in review video of our biggest moments:
 

 

There are several videos linked within this recap that you can check out if you’re curious about any of the events we listed. A couple awesome Behemoth-related events not shown in the video include the fun fan driven contests we had for Valentine’s Day and Halloween, our partnership with GestureWorks Gameplay, our latest Gold Egg Project recipient (Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime), our partnership with HP Sprout, and the inclusion of Alien Hominid and Castle Crashers in the Game Masters exhibition in the National Museum of Scotland (which is still up until April 20, 2015 so go check it out here).
 
Thank you to everyone for their support this year and we hope you enjoy a look back at all the events.

 

Holiday Sale on Steam!

SteamHolidaySale2014

Tis the season to be jolly! And what better way to be jolly than to play video games with loved ones — or just have some quality “me time.” Now might be a good time to shop for what you’ve always wanted or get the perfect gift for friends!
 
From now until January 2nd, 2015 (wow this sale runs until next year!), you can get Castle Crashers Steam and BattleBlock Theater Steam at 75% OFF!
 
We’ve also applied the discounts to our Can’t Stop Laughing Bundle (1 copy of Castle Crashers + 1 copy of BattleBlock Theater) and Ultra Baby’s Co-Op Chaos Pack (2 copies of BattleBlock Theater) so they reflect the prices of the individual copies during the sale. An even bigger discount is applied if either game is a part of a Daily Deal, Flash Sales, or Community Deals (picks by the community).
 
Castle Crashers DLC is still at the low price of $0.99 USD and all proceeds go to charity (as they always do!). The two DLC packs are Pink Knight Pack and Blacksmith Pack.
 
Remember that if you own both Castle Crashers Steam and BattleBlock Theater Steam, then you automatically get cross-over characters! We call it the Can’t Stop Crying Pack in Castle Crashers and you get the Castle Crashers knight as a playable character in BattleBlock Theater:
