PAX

Castle Crashers RELEASE DATE for PSN!

by

Greetings to the Behemoth Development Blog of which we reside!

I’m here today to present you with the gift of a release date. After many months of certification we’ve finally secured an actual day for USA, Canada, and Mexico for Castle Crashers on the PlayStation Network. This gift is Tuesday, August 31st!!!!

We’ve been working on Castle Crashers for PSN for about a year and a half. In that time I’ve had the fortune of meeting everyone at tradeshows and lots of people will ask me, “C’mon what is taking so long?”. I have to say that we’ve felt the same way – our whole team’s goal is to make you all happy so we want to share it right now!! We’re super antsy. But like all of our games we can never rush anything as it’s necessary to make sure that every little piece is airtight. and fun!

We’ve teamed up with some other sites to give you a full list of contests for a chance to win free stuff. Be on the look out for these dates as we inch closer to the release. Perhaps something wonderful will be obtained?

Finally, we’re going to be at PAX (Penny-Arcade Expo) on September 3-5th at Booth #3102 so come on by and check out both Castle Crashers and BattleBlock Theater. We are building a 4-player Castle Crashers arcade cabinet which you can use at the show! Look out X-Men/Predator/Simpsons we’re coming after your distant memories!!!!

love,
Dan

BattleBlock Theater- Hail to the King, baby!

KotH sGreetings,

I hope some of you got a chance to check out BattleBlock Theater at ComicCon last week! What did you think?

We’ve been having fun coming up with all sorts of new ways to throw kick discombobulate toss punch interact with your friends and this mode started to take shape.  It’s like a king of the hill game- claim the special golden blocks as your own and do anything you can to keep the other guys off. I mean, look. These are your blocks and you are the king of them. You can’t let just anybody come and stand on your blocks. Give those interlopers the royal treatment. And by royal treatment I mean uppercut them into some spikes or push them into some nice lava. That is the sign of a true king.

If you missed us at ComicCon, you’ll have another chance to check out all the new features in BattleBlock at Penny Arcade Expo in a few weeks!  Hit the jump for some kingly screenshots.

so many beautiful creations

hello my friends and welcome to the behemoth devblog of wonder.  today i will be sharing some things that i have personally thought were pretty darn cool.  i always like it when people create things with different sorts of mediums so i am going to show you all some recent artwork that we haven’t quite gotten into our fanart gallery just yet:

These things pictured above would be cookies that we received at PAX!!   This girl obviously put a lot into this so we just could not bring ourselves to eat them.  You know, eating art is just too difficult for us, i guess.  Thanks for this one MoriChax!!

These little clay guys come from from a fellow we know as Lunchbox820 on our forums.  Here we have a few animal orbs from Castle Crashers fighting over a quarter that has presented itself to them.  Thank you Lunchbox820 for sharing!!

An amazing feat, papercraft, done by Lesqua.  Even cutting it out appears to be hard work, something that Lesqua seems to embrace!  These figures are wonderful.  Perhaps we shall follow up with a link to the papers so you may print them out for yourselves!!!

An amazing pair of shoes from Jonas featuring the blue knight,  the king, animal orbs and barbarian boss.  Wonderfully bold work protecting wonderfully creative feet!!!!

Added another picture to the list and we have word that the sign artist goes by “Gino Hasler” So thanks Gino you chalkmaster,  you are a master of chalk.  Your efforts are appreciated!!!!

Have you played Spore?  None of us have gotten a chance to play just yet, but Andre Nguyen has.  He has brought it upon himself to dominate the galaxy with Alien Hominids.  Very awesome, thank you Andre!!!

Look for a post from John sometime later this week, because I think he’s got something special.  (pretty sure the guys don’t like when i put pressure on their posts like that, lol)

Sidenotes; oh yes, the title update is making great progress!

Thanks to everyone for playing so much!!!!
