Goldbags, shoes, items galore

Amongst all the huge amounts of game development going on we tend to keep ourselves EXTRA busy with cool projects. Here are only a couple of the many things we are currently working on:

Castle Crasher shoes?!

We’ve been thinking about making some shoes every once in a while, but after seeing this link we were even more supercharged to make some! There’s also these shoes and these shoes… I wonder if there are more I haven’t found? I really like the colors on this last one!

Our shoes are not ready, of course, but we are working on getting one done. The design (and modelling) on this one was done by our friend Min Kyung. Sometimes I call her Filet Mignon because that’s what it rhymes with.

Goldbag with MYSTERIOUS CONTENTS?!

This fine bag that I am displaying should look familiar to those of you who have played Castle Crashers. The contents are still secret right now.. I wish I could tell you but it just isn’t time yet πŸ™ So let’s guess. What do you think might be inside? (It’s not gold, even though it looks like it should be)

This concludes our tour for now… There are several other awesome things we’re planning that I will share later!

It’s always so awesome for me to see these things come to life. Let me know what you think of these things, and what your heart desires.

Store Updates

Hello Friends.

I have a few updates to share with everyone. First up our Castle Crashers figurines are now back in stock, yes ! We spent most of last week inside of a warehouse folding boxes and getting everything ready for shipment.

In addition to the figurines now back in stock we’ve added some new products as well!
Behold the Ninja Pirate Tee, and the long awaited Behemoth shirt.



That’s pretty much it for now. More updates to come as we receive them. Thanks!

Head on a Stick

Well, Dan and I were going to go get some exercise, but Kelly let us know that the 300,000th person was about to post to the leaderboards, so we figured it would be better to knock out a quick update instead.

The title update is going well- we spent the weekend testing and testing and testing to see if the fixes work and it is looking pretty good. With any luck tomorrow we will be doing a big multiplayer test with everyone in Redmond. If everything goes well we’ll be moving from the “fixing it” stage to the “verifying” stage. After everything is fixed and verified by everyone and their mother, we’ll roll into the certification stage. If we pass that then we wait for the TU (title update) to be released. With all these moving parts, we are unable to tell you all with precision when the TU will be out, but we are working on it every day.

In the meantime, since I’m not a programmer, I get to do all the other stuff, like unloading the PAX delivery van and putting the trophies back on schedule (yes, AH HD trophy update tomorrow I PROMISE DAN!!!) Here’s a shot of some cool things we took to PAX but never made it out of my suitcase. I had cast 18 bronze helmet keychains before we left, (both Knight and Barbarian), and we’ve been trying to figure out what to do with them. They are very cool and very heavy. The far left is the head of the original figurine, the next is the wax casting, then the first bronze pour. The next one is the first polish and the final one on the right is the final polish.

We are going to keep an eye out for some of the coolest Castle Crasher videos on YouTube and on Friday we are going to give away the first of these keychains. I’m sure we’ll figure out rules and such tomorrow, so check back and in the meantime, post your videos…I mean, can anyone beat these?

PS, for those of you who were lucky enough to place an order on our webstore before we sold out, were waiting for our custom boxes to be fabricated before we ship them out. If everything goes as planned, we’ll be shipping this week. Check back later in the week for an update.
