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.

 

Extra Life 2014 Recap

We were invited by Raptr to join their Extra Life marathon this year! In the past, we’ve donated codes to participants of the charity event, but it was our first time streaming for the event and fundraising for our local Children’s Miracle Network hospital: Rady Children’s Hospital.
 
As part of the stream on Raptr’s channel, we spent an hour playing Game 4 to raise awareness and fundraise for Extra Life. It was our first time showing the Quest system in Game 4! Here is our recording of our segment in the Extra Life marathon:
 

 
Or if you prefer to just watch each individual quest at your own pace, check out this playlist with our Game 4 videos:
 

 
We’re so grateful to everyone who came to support our live stream and also to everyone who donated to our Extra Life fundraising page. We raised $665.58 from the community and matched with $666, for a grand total of $1331.58!
 
During our live stream, we were able to raffle off plush prizes. Congrats to the six winners we pulled from our list of Extra Life donors!
CastleCrashersPlushies

Our new Castle Crashers plush knights will be available soon in our online store, but we will have a separate post when they do go up.
 
Thanks again for watching us play games and helping to heal kids!
