2007 Recap

Well the year is almost over, and we wanted to take a minute and thank all of our fans for all their support this year. We’ve had a hectic schedule these past 12 months and had a great time going to trade shows and meeting our fans. Here is a very brief recap of events from this past year.

January, 2007
San Francisco was our first stop for the year, attending the Annual IGF Awards show. We were nominated for 2 awards for our upcoming title Castle Crashers, and thanks to all of our fans received the Excellence in Visual Arts award, and the coveted Audience Award.

February, 2007
Alien Hominid HD launches on the Xbox LIVE Arcade. Woo hoo! Our first title on the Xbox 360, and definitely not our last.

May, 2007
We announced our Alien Hominid Leaderboard Competition. Sending out trophies to the leaderboard winners on a weekly basis, we were the first developer to ever offer a physical prize for Xbox LIVE Leaderboard winners.

July, August, 2007
Comic-Con and PAX are the largest shows that we attend on a yearly basis. We had amazing turn outs at both events and look forward to another year of convention center fun.

December, 2007
We launch our official Behemoth Store! Within 2 days we completely sell out of our Castle Crashers figurines. In addition to the figurines, we launch a completely new t-shirt line, as well as finally offering our other trade show exclusive merchandise to the masses.

It was another busy year for the Behemoth, and everyone here is looking forward to 2008. We hope everyone has a safe holiday season, and get ready for Castle Crashers!

Behemoth Trophies

by


For the past couple of months we’ve been working on assembling our custom made Behemoth Trophies in order to ship them out to our weekly Leaderboard winners. During that time we’ve been documenting the process because well….we like to document our projects, and more importantly we’re the first developer/publisher to offer something like this, so we wanted to be sure we had some pictures on hand. Needless to say, they came out amazingly well and the whole process can be seen from start to finish here.

So here is the first ever shot (to your right) of our exclusive Behemoth Trophies. We’ve beeen putting the final touches on them and getting them all prepped for shipping. Our Leaderboard compeition is scheduled to run for a whole year and we’re currently in week 6 of the contest. So there is still plenty of time for you to win one of these exclusive trophies.

If you’re not certain how to enter our competition, it’s simple! First make sure you have a Xbox 360, then you need to log-on to the Xbox Live Arcade service and download Alien Hominid HD (only 800 Microsoft Points!) Finally, you need to be the top scorer in any of theese three categories:

Alien Hominid HD (Main Game – Hard Difficulty)
All You Can Eat (Weekly Ranked Match)
PDA Games (Monthly Ranked Match)

After you win, you will be contacted by us and we’ll send you your trophies, not to mention we feature your Gamercard on our site and you have the opportunity to be placed in the Hall of Fame where you will receive a super grand prize. If you want a list of the FULL rules, just head over to the official page and check them out. So congratulations to all the previous winners and good luck to those who are still trying.

Alien Hominid HD out today for XBLA

by

Well, it’s been quite some time now but we can finally say that Alien Hominid HD comes out today. YAA! As I make this post it’s 11:43pm PST, 20 minutes away from the game hiting the Xbox 360 servers. We’ve come a long way from our original version of the game that ran on Newgrounds.com so many years ago. We couldn’t have gotten to this point if it wasn’t for all of our awesome fans that are out there. So if you have your 800 MS points ready and you want to get some serious 2D gaming action, log-on today and download your copy.

We want to make sure to mention that the Behemoth Trophy competition does not officially start until March 18th (when we get back from IGF) so be sure to get all of your practice in, once the competition starts it’s going to be an all out brawl for first place and the coveted Behemoth Trophies.

Good luck and thank you for all of your support!
