The Creatures are coming to California and they’re stopping by to do a quick live stream with us! Confirmed guests for our June 9th stream include UberHaxorNova and Immortal HD. We’re not sure what’s going to happen yet, but what we do know is that it’s happening on our Twitch channel on Monday, June 9th, from 3:00-4:00PM PST. We may do a rematch with them, we may have them play through BattleBlock Theater Steam community made co-op playlists (so fire up your level editors!!), or we may just sit around like a bunch of creepers staring lovingly into each others’ eyes. You’ll have to watch and see.

What has five eyes and lives in a theater filled with cats? Gerard and Paul! Two prisoner unlocks this week in BattleBlock Theater for both our Steam and XBLA players.

How to unlock Gerard: Play through the Furbottoms Features (must go through the Furbottoms Features menu!) and complete all levels. Once you’ve completed the entire solo or cooperative Furbottoms Features playlist, this special prisoner will be added to your entourage of theater friends.

 

How to unlock Paul: Once you load up the game, head towards an online area in the game. Opening up an online game will trigger this special unlock!

 

Since it’s Friday, we’ve also updated the Furbottoms Features to include a new featured Co-Op playlist! In XBLA, we’re bringing back “How to Play BBT” by Define Funny–another one of our Greatest Hits. In the Steam version, we’ve highlighted a new user made co-op playlist called “Friendly Forest” by KLJF22.

 

We’re always looking for awesome playlists made by the community so warm up your level editors and have fun building once you’re done playing the current Features!

 

BattleBlock Theater Sketches

From the mind and sketchbook of Dan Paladin, our Art Director, comes the original sketches of BattleBlock Theater. I scanned these pages a while ago, posted one teaser photo before, and then forgot about them until the other day. It’s like fate since we just released BattleBlock Theater for Steam this month!

 

Below are just a few of the sketches for the concept of the game before the programming even started. Some of the ideas didn’t work in the end–but can you spot the ideas that are in game?
