Alien Hominid

Update on the Title Update + Halloween Contests!

by

On Friday we sent the Title Update (TU) to Microsoft for testing and certification. From this point on we don’t have any control over the release of the TU, but it is really nice that we have launched into the next step. Thanks again to all of you who have provided constructive comments to find issues!!! Remember, Microsoft must test and certify the TU before they decide to upload it for you all to download. We have no control over when they will schedule to release the TU.

So to celebrate this momentousness, we are launching The Behemoth’s Halloween Costume and Pumpkin carving contest! Just post a photo of your Castle Crashers, Alien Hominid, Behemoth, PDA Games, or Dad ‘N Me creation in our forums in the Fan Art section in the special stickied thread. On November 4th (election day) we will review the entries and select the top three winners. Judging will be based on originality, hilariousness and craftsmanship. Prizes include our new ultra cool Hoodie, NinjaPirate T shirt and other neat stuff from Japan and around the office. We look forward to seeing what you guys (and gals) come up with!


Also, for those of you who are still wondering about the Alien Hominid contests we’ve ran in the past, yes we will finally be sending out the trophies. The bronze alien trophies are coming out better now but we probably won’t have anything shipped before mid November because of the time it takes to cast them.

AH HD Bronze Trophy hunt is underway….

Somebody forgot to figure out that if we started up the leaderboard competition again, one of us would actually have to come into the office to check the leaderboards every Saturday… 🙁 As you might guess, I got the short straw and so here I am, to announce our first winner and and post a weekly update on the monthly competitions: (Please remember that we check leaderboards around noon on Saturday because there is no given time Saturday that the leaderboards roll over.)

Alien Hominid HD, Weekly – Medium Difficulty – SIBROMA 219,997 points. Whoa! Note that ||KEARNSY|| was really close behind with 202,619 points.

The monthly leaderboards are going well with three weeks to GO!:

PDA Games, Ranked Match, GHOST OF TOM in the lead with 19,400 points

Super Soviet Missile Master, BIGMIX is leading with 9222 kilometers closely followed by MAXT3R with 7963 kilometers and T3H SILK with 6919 kilometers.

This weekend I started the molds for the Alien trophies, so hopefully we’ll have the first wax castings in a few days and the bronzes by the end of the month…
