blog – The Behemoth Blog

Here at The Behemoth, we often see questions that ask “What is the big chicken up to?” and “Is this [insert game] coming to this [insert console]?” and “WHAT HAVE THEY BEEN COOKING UP ALL THESE YEARS????????”.

Well, it’s time all you (much smaller) chickens got some answers.

Announcing… The Behemoth Roadmap stream!

On Friday, July 26th at 10:00 AM PDT, we’ll be going live on YouTube and Twitch to share a special animated trailer showcasing multiple projects we’ve been working on! Trust us, if you aren’t there, you are most assuredly square!

To celebrate the roadmap, we’re holding our first-ever Behemothly Large Publisher Sale on Steam! Think of it as our chicken gift to you for supporting this big chicken the past 21 years. 🐔❤️

Steam discounts include:

Castle Crashers 90% off (again!!!)
BattleBlock Theater 70% off
Pit People 60% off
Alien Hominid Invasion 25% off
Alien Hominid HD 25% off

See you soooooon…

If you have all these chicken games already, it’s still worth checking out the sale page to see some colorful new Behemoth art!

We have been very busy since the beta, mulling over the data, making the improvements you asked for, and seeing who can build the biggest snowman(current record: 3 ice cubes high, not much snow in San Diego).

December Developer Update Recap:

Right before Christmas, Dan went over the new Alien Hominid Invasion changes on stream, so we made a list (and checked it twice) of some of the changes in case you missed them.

New Enemies: Inchworm + Big Crab
You can now change difficulty on a save!
Sewer Children have a chance to sell a weapon in game
HUD redesigned and follows players
Alien picks up speed when running
Highest Aggression raised on agents
Normal Difficulty max hearts down by one

We learned a LOT from the time everyone poured into the Beta, so we thank you for the best present ever: data! These are only a fraction of the changes we made, but many of them came from direct player requests; thanks for helping us make the game the best it can be!

Check out the recap video here!

Speaking of the beta…

Beta Challenge Submissions:

Many of you made submissions to our Beta Challenge, so we wanted to highlight the runs, strategies, and builds you all used to climb the leaderboards. I’m so proud of everyone I could cry! Too bad chickens don’t have tear ducts.
