If you haven’t done so already, be sure to download the update for BattleBlock Theater on Xbox LIVE. We’ve updated a couple areas in the game.

1. The Jail Breaker achievement and any player who has unlocked 50 prisoners or more will now be able to successfully unlock this achievement as well.

Jail Breaker

Free 50 prisoners in the Gift Shop.

If your profile has 50 or more Prisoners already, after the update is applied, the achievement will unlock on their next Prisoner PURCHASE from the gift shop.

NOTE: If you already have 100% of Prisoners unlocked, you will need to trade away any single Prisoner and re-purchase it from the Chonku machines in the gift shop. (We suggest you do not trade away a star special prisoner because those can’t be bought!)

2. Side netting in Ball Game is no longer viable.

If you don’t know what that means then don’t worry about it! We got you covered.

The game was updated earlier today on May 15, 2013. 

Design with the Devs: BattleBlock FF Selection

>>EDIT: The live stream of Design with the Devs is finished, but the video is right HERE! Watch if you’re curious about how we select playlists for Furbottom’s Features or if you just want to see what silly things happened as we played through user made playlists.<<

Since opening night, players everywhere have embraced the BattleBlock Community Theater as the best place in the whole world to share your thoughts and dreams, so long as your thoughts and dreams looked exactly like BattleBlock Theater levels. Otherwise, you may just want to start a journal blog.

But, far from the prying eyes of the Community Theater community, a new and awesome ritual was also being held each week to identify which levels would become the next Furbottom’s Feature (FF). It is a ritual so new and so awesome, that it has no name.

…though for awhile it was known as “The Pickening”, but that sounded dumb so it went back to having no name again.

Normally, this mysterious process would remain hidden away, deep within The Behemoth’s bowels- but no longer! This Thursday from 3:00pm-5:00pm PDT, three of The Behemoth’s level designers will emerge on our Twitch.tv channel to play and discuss this week’s Coop Adventure candidates; three playlists will enter, but only one will become the next Furbottom’s Feature!

We call it “Design with the Devs”, and yes, that’s 3 playing 3 at 3, not only because that sounded cool, but also because that’s all the time and level designers we have. With any luck, all of those numbers will add up to you learning more about why we pick what we pick when we pick a playlist to be featured.

Whether you choose to chat with your hand flanges or stare with your seeing-eye-bulbs, we hope you enjoy this first opportunity to sit and judge the way we sit and judge you. Hurray!
