Last month, we had our first Play with the Devs for BattleBlock Theater streamed live on our Twitch channel. We’re going to continue giving you the opportunity to play against some of The Behemoth staff with a Play with the Devs once a month!

The rumblers and arena modes will change every time, but the chance to show off your BBT skills will remain the same. And even better, we’ll be increasing the play time from one hour to TWO HOURS of Play with the Devs! It will be Team Behemoth versus YOU +1.

Or, if you’d prefer to watch and chat with others about The Behemoth games, you can join us at Twitch.TV and toss us a few questions and comments while you’re at it.

Join us next Thursday, May 30th, from 3:00-5:00PM PST. Here’s the cast and crew:

Rumblers:

Megan, Community Captain
Lindsay, Prophet of Playability
Josh, Testnician in Chief
Derek, Videotronic Virtuoso
(Rumblers will take turns in teams)

Chatters: 

Dan, Fearless Leader
Emil, Master of Ceremonies
Ian, Production Mogul
Aaron, Level Luminary
Ryan, Level Laureate
Anna, Plushsmith
Eric, Ambassador to the Arts

BBT Furbuttom’s Features & CatControl Unlock

by

Yesterday, we had our first live stream of Design with the Devs, where our level design team discussed three candidates for the co-op Furbottom’s Features. Today, we reveal the chosen one for solo and co-op! *Drum roll*

Solo Furbottom’s Feature: Welcome Home

Co-Op Furbottom’s Feature: Can’t Compare Love

You can find the detailed descriptions of each playlist when you go to the Furbottom’s Features section of the official BattleBlock Theater website.

FeaturePost_CatControlAnd as always, the new solo and co-op Furbottom’s Features bring a new prisoner unlock when you complete either of the two playlists!

For the next two weeks, you’ll be able to get Cat Control, a mini-cat controlling the body of your prisoner. How freaky is that?

If you’re interested in learning more about how to design playlists using the BattleBlock Theater level editor, join the discussion in our forums HERE.
