Behemoth Roadmap Stream Recap

by

Today was a huge day for us chickens at The Behemoth. We presented our Behemoth Roadmap stream, which announced all the exciting stuff we’ve been up to lately! Oh, and did we mention ALL of our games are still discounted on Steam? Happy Behemoth Roadmap week! BAAAAAWK!


Here’s a quick rundown of all the announcements from the stream!

DLC Announcement: Castle Crashers Painter Boss Paradise

The Castle Crashers Painter Boss Paradise is soon coming to Steam as paid DLC! The update will include:

  • Steam workshop capabilities – make your own knight skins, choose your magic, and share with the world!
  • New official character: play as Paint Junior to use your imagination and create art that destroys enemies!
  • New player and weapon artwork for all official playable characters (with an option toggle on or off).
  • Play as ANYTHING you want in Castle Crashers! But keep in mind Steam guidelines, please. 🙂


Watch the animated trailer for the announcement above, and let us know what you’ll create with the new tool on social media or Discord!

Calling all Cat Guards back to BattleBlock Theater…

Cat got your tongue? BattleBlock Theater for Steam will soon get a quality of life update, including:

  • Lightning fast frame rates, limited only by your monitor’s capability!
  • Higher audio bitrates for delicious sound!
  • Various bug fixes and overall enhancements, hooray!
  • Support for more controller types!

We’re also preparing the game for other platforms! Which ones? When? TBA, BUT YES, IT’S COMING! OH HAPPY DAY!

Alien Hominid Invasion AND Alien Hominid HD are coming soon to PlayStation 4 AND PlayStation 5! PREPARE FOR YOUR MOTHERSHIP CREATION, BAPI!

Pit People Update 8?!

Pitheads, we haven’t forgotten about you, either! A quality of life update for Pit People is also on the horizon, it’s just a bit farther down on our little (big) chicken roadmap. Stay tuned, our ferocious fighters!

And beyond… a brand new game!

While we show some attention to our previous titles, we’ll also be embarking on the journey of starting a brand new game for all of you chickens to enjoy. Prototyping for our next game has commenced! That’s pretty much all we have to say about it, for now…

THE BEHEMOTH’S MASSIVE CHICKEN PUBLISHER SALE


Our Steam publisher sale runs through Monday, July 29th, at 10:00AM PDT! Why not grab some big chicken games for CHEAP CHEAP before they receive a fresh coat of paint?

And can you believe this big chicken has been making games for 21 years? It’s all thanks to you, the little chickens who have supported all FIVE of our game babies no matter the genre, characters, and world. From the bottom of our hearts, BAAAAWK (translation: thank you very much)!

We’ve had quite the ending to our 2023 here at The Behemoth!

We returned to tradeshows, we launched two separate games across three different platforms, we held true to a years old April Fool’s Day post of making Castle Crashers Remastered Nintendo Switch Physical a REAL THING (restock coming early next year!), we gave our boy Blacksmith the plushie he deserved…we’ve been busy chickens.

As mentioned in our previous blog post, we recently pushed an update to Alien Hominid Invasion which added a bunch of new achievements, a new map algorithm, some balancing, along with a hotfix for Alien Hominid HD! Part Two of this update will land in early 2024.

And from now until January 4th at 10AM PST, enjoy some savings on our games and spread the holiday cheer in the Steam Winter Sale! And as an extra holiday thank you from our team, catch our new releases Alien Hominid Invasion and Alien Hominid HD during their first discount ever!

Thank you for reading this with your human eyes in a voice you can’t quite place, and for being the reason We Make Games for the past twenty years. We couldn’t have made it this far without you, and we certainly wouldn’t want to!

See you for the next trip around the sun,

The Behemoth
