A Date

On November 25th, while Americans are passed out in tryptophan comas,  Castle Crashers will arrive on  the PlayStation Network in JAPAN, thus completing our world domination of PS3s!  Its been a long road, but Castle Crashers is now available on both XBLA and PSN WORLDWIDE.  On this day, over 2.2 Million players have experienced the adventure of kissing princesses and beating eachother up!!!   *weeps with joy*

A Confession

I have a confession to make.  Long story short, BattleBlock Theater is becoming so much more than we ever expected.  It feels like no other game out there – there’s a little more r&d than we thought and lots of new ground to break.  This means we will not be releasing in 2010, but the good news is now that we’ve got Castle Crashers out on PSN worldwide, you can expect LOTS more updates on where we are headed with BBT.

A ton of work has gone into this game which feels like no other game!  We’re currently forcing someone to start getting some videos/pictures prepped so we can pass the time quickly together.

TOYS!

New Stuff available on our webstore!  Animal Orb Cell phone charms, New Tee shirt designs, Keychains, a sweet new Skeleton Skate Deck, and of course, the new limited Edition King Figurine!

Hello out there in Behemothtown!

We’d like to thank everyone that has written in to tell us about their experiences playing Castle Crashers on PSN. It makes us really happy to see the game available to so many new players, and we always enjoying hearing from people playing the game for the first time.

Thanks also to those who have brought game issues to our attention over email or in our forums. It seems that one of the songs (when you open a treasure chest) has gone wandering off, and this sometimes results in a weird noise instead. We’ve located the wayward tune and you’ll be jamming to the appropriate treasure grabbing beats in no time.  We’re also working to address a crash that occurs after beating the final boss with 4 players with all players specifically using the default knights. This issue is definitely being addressed, but in the meantime, as long as at least one of your 4 player party is not a default knight, this issue won’t occur. Another thing that we are working on is tweaking the multiplayer settings for improved performance.  Because these issues do not occur in our or Sony’s test environments, this will likely take more time, but thanks to the helpful reports from players we’ve got a lot of information to draw from.

While our indefatigable programmers and Testopia are working on that, Team Tokyo has already arrived in Japan to start getting our booth ready for Tokyo Game Show! If you should find yourself in the magical land of Tokyo  Sept 18th and 19th come visit us at booth #5-N6 of the excitingly named “General Area”.
