Day 1 of BitSummit

March 7, 2014 by megan

We got up early this morning to finish our set up before doors opened at 10AM for the media. The main items to work on were the game demos and organizing our merchandise. Luckily, we had some help from our super helpers: Hiroko, Deven, Atsushi and Yuko!

Around 11:30AM our producer, John Baez, took the stage to speak about our attitude and approach towards working in the game industry. It was streamed live, but we have a recording of it as well. But you’ll have to wait until the show ends for our recap video to see it!

The slide in Japanese is welcoming us to BitSummit.

In the afternoon, we started selling our Castle Crashers knights, Castle Crashers mobile straps and Behemoth keychains (including the Knight design from Castle Crashers, Hatty from BattleBlock Theater, and Alien Hominid). We will be selling tomorrow and Sunday as well–while supplies last!

BitSummit organizers ended the day with a cocktail party to allow developers to mix and mingle with their peers. Yes, there was lots of Japanese food and cocktails to go along with the music and partying!

Just a week away before our small crew of Behemoth staff head over to Japan and set up our booth for BitSummit 2014! We’ll be exhibiting our games at one of the large sponsor booths, plus we’ll be selling a limited amount of merchandise.

Fans of Castle Crashers will have a chance to buy some figurines, mobile charms and keychains at our booth. Limited selection and limited quantities on Friday and Saturday. Only cash in Japanese yen accepted.

Also worth noting, Friday will be filled with speeches, including one from our very own John Baez. The BitSummit organizers have tentatively planned on streaming the event and as soon as they announce the channel details, we’ll share them with you!

Finally, if you are press attending BitSummit and you’d like to arrange an interview, please e-mail Megan at games[at]thebehemoth[dot]com. We’re coming with a small staff, so we want to make sure to have a chance to chat with you while ensuring our booth is covered. Arigatou!
