Design with the Devs – June 14th

On the next Very Special Episode of Design with the Devs, the BattleBlock Theater Level Design team faces a challenge unlike any they’ve encountered before…

…which wouldn’t take much because it’s only our second episode, but you get the idea.

LevelDesignTeam

While we spent last episode discussing that week’s Furbottom’s Features candidates, this time around we’ll be putting our thumbs where our controller is by designing a new batch of Arena levels live on Twitch.tv. Each designer will take a turn on the Couch of Creation for a bit of building and friendly interrogation, and then once we’re done digging our virtual graves, we’ll host our newly minted levels online so that you can push us into our self made death-traps over and over again for your amusement.

Like what we made? Enjoy your favorite death-trap by punching us into it. Don’t like what we made? Well, maybe just punch us. See? It’s a win-win.

Whether you end up learning from us or just learning from our mistakes, you can join us at our Twitch channel on Friday, June 14th, from 3-5pm PST! We’ll be in the chat rooms per usual and there will even be a chance to win an autograph copy of Dan Paladin’s rare Watermelon CD!

ARE YOU NOT EDUTAINED!?

Free Donuts this week on BBT!

In addition to the super rad animated Lava Lamp prisoner unlock you can get this week when you complete Furbottom’s Features in BattleBlock Theater, today is National Donut Day in America and we’re giving you free Donuts for a week!

FeaturePost_DonutsWe’re bringing back our special prisoner, Donuts, for anyone who didn’t catch it the first time it was available as a Furbottom Features unlock. All you have to do is  sign in to your Xbox LIVE account, open up the full version of BattleBlock Theater and watch as this special prisoner pops out of the vault. Donuts will be available from June 7th, noon PDT, until June 13th.

Note: not all of the special prisoner unlocks will be this easy to get! So get it before it’s gone!

More notes: Our Arena Features gets updated today as well! So be sure to download and have fun in the “Race For The Kiss.”
