2018 Fan Art Contest Winners

by

We had over 100 entries this year for our Valentine’s Day Fan Art Contest! Thank you so much to everyone who put in so much love into each of their creations. Needless to say, it was difficult for our judges to narrow down their favorite picks since there were so many amazing artists. Out of all the entries, the following submissions made it to our Top 3. These artists captured the theme “love & friendship” and showed originality, creativity, effort and artistic abilities.

“Hope” by Gennadiy L.

 
“Smile! It’s for The Behemoth’s Valentine’s Day gallery! Done in coloured pencil and black/white pens on drawing paper, with bits and pieces from the four games. Mind the uvula!” – Drawing S.

 
“Sometimes it’s for the better that love is blind.” -Stephanie C.

 
Audience Award Winner

We also had a voting period where anyone could vote for their favorite fan art entries. The entry with the highest number of votes gets the Audience Award. With over 150 votes, the Audience Award goes to Jason F. and his Alien Hominid themed Valentine’s Day card!

“My Day 3 entry for the @thebehemothgames fan art competition. Have had much fun creating these 3 Behemoth Valentines day style cards. Certainly a little aomething different for me :D” – neuroticdesign

 
All four of these contestants will be getting a prize pack with a game code, a pink knight keychain, and their choice of a Pit People Rainbow Horse plush or Cupcake plush.

Thanks again to all the contestants and we hope to do this again next year! Til then, keep checking out our social channels (Twitter, Instagram, Facebook) for Fan Art Fridays <3

Good bye, 2017! Hello, 2018!

by

Happy new year!!! In the past, we’ve done recaps to say good bye to the past year. This year, we’ll recap and say hello to 2018 because there’s so much to look forward to this year with the release of Pit People after we complete the final touches. But first, a year in review to see what got us to this point:

Whoa look at that date! Feels like forever ago now…

 
At the start of 2017, we released our first early access version of Pit People on Xbox One Game Preview and Steam Early Access. It is not only our first early access title, but also the first time we’ve developed & released two separate platforms simultaneously since we started working on digital downloads. As a smaller team, doing essentially two projects at a time has been a rewarding challenge for us this past year!

There was an overwhelming amount of support and positive feedback during the early access launch week! But more importantly, there was also a ton of constructive feedback from the Pit People community. We quickly started working on ways to improve based on the comments we got through our support ticketing system, forums, and our Discord.

First, we did overall improvements with Update 1: Home Improvement. Second, we made tweaks to the World Maps and the Pit in Update 2: World Tour. Next, we added a couple new features in Update 3: Emperor’s Orders. Then, we released the next story part and a whole new world map in Update 4: Vibrant Villains. In our latest (but not final) update we included an entirely new challenging mode with Update 5: Infinite Wisdom.

In between all of these updates our team has continued to balance the game and work on story & world map missions. As we mentioned last month, we’re on track to release the remaining story parts and the full version of the game in early 2018. An official release date has yet to be announced, but you can bet your butts that we’ll let you know as soon as we can!

In the meantime, let’s continue down 2017’s memory lane and highlight some events we had…
