The Behemoth Co-Sponsors BitSummit MMXIV

by

It’s been a while and we’ve missed you, Japan! We’re coming back and for the first time ever we will be going to Kyoto!
 
The city of Kyoto is renowned for their temples, shrines and historical monuments. Even more impressive for video game fans is that it’s home to the Nintendo headquarters as well as other awesome developers. However, the main reason for our return is the BitSummit MMXIV: Sound + Vision, Kyoto Indie Game Festival!
 
BitSummit MMXIV is a Japanese independent game development and media summit with the mission of helping indie Japanese video game developers get their work in front of a global audience. In addition, the summit provides a space for Western developers to learn about Japan’s homegrown video games. BitSummit MMXIV will be held at Miyako Messe, March 7th through 9th, 2014.
 
The Behemoth will be co-sponsoring the event to support the burgeoning Japanese independent developer community. We believe that through events like BitSummit MMXIV, independent Japanese developers can build a healthy counterpoint to the industrial strength AAA video game industry in Japan. If you are in the Kyoto area in early March please stop by and say hello to all your favorite independent game developers and make some new friends!

Our 2013 Recap – Happy New Year!

by

Happy New Years Eve! 2013 was a big year for us for so many reasons. We hit a lot of milestones including celebrating our 10-year-anniversary as a company, releasing our third title (BattleBlock Theater), hitting our 5th year after the release of our second title (Castle Crashers), and attending several new shows in the U.S.
 
We had a lot to be thankful for and we wanted to share our favorite moments with you. That being said, this is going to be a rather lengthy post but we hope you’ll enjoy going down memory lane with us!

Portland Retro Gaming Expo – Day 1

by

Our crew flew over to Portland to bring in our custom built arcade cabinets to the Portland Retro Gaming Expo for the very first time. As you’ll be able to see in our photos, we decided to mix up the layout for this Expo.
 

Here we are setting up the designated Behemoth area. Not a conventional booth setting.

 
We put on new artwork on the most recently made arcade cabinets (3rd generation cabs) since their debut at PAX Prime 2013 just two months ago.
 
New vinyl stickers were added to our arcade cabinets for the show.

 
Finally, the Super Soviet Missile Mastar arcade cabinet was put to a proper fan experience with the Daily High Score contest held for both October 5th and 6th at PRGE. Congrats to the winners!
