What would a new Behemoth game be without wacky customization? Actually, heres a better question what would a new Behemoth game be without wacky customization referencing other Behemoth games? We dont want to imagine that, so heres a fancy unlock guide for all the heads you can earn in Alien Hominid Invasion for owning our other games on Steam! How does it work exactly? Well, in Alien Hominid Invasion, you can unlock many different heads through leveling up, securing loot, and buying loot at the Hideout. By also owning our other games on Steam, the following heads are added to the game's loot pool:

• Castle Crashers Pink Knight, Green Knight, and Barbarian
• BattleBlock Theater Cat Guard, Raccoon, Hat of Purrham
• Pit People Horatio, Yosef, Pipistrella
• Alien Hominid HD Original Alien

Nineteen years is a long time to wait for your Mothership, which is why we wanted to celebrate the games and players that made our journey here possible! Thank you for playing our games, allowing us to Behemoth-ly balloon into the studio we are today. From our humble Alien Hominid HD beginnings to our latest Alien Hominid Invasion-ing (and we guess a few castles, top hats, and blueberries), thank you for letting us make you games.

We hope you enjoyed playing the Alien Hominid Invasion Demo during Steam's Next Fest last week! Now for something completely different: getting stuff for less monetary stuff than that stuff normally goes for! Yes, you maybe read that sentence right: It's Steam Summer Sale Time! While it isnt an official holiday yet, we won't tell if you suddenly come down with a cold for a long summer weekend of gaming Enjoy the following discounts for your summertime gaming leisure:

• Castle Crashers Remastered is 80% off
• BattleBlock Theater is 80% off
• Pit People is 56% off

We're terrifyingly halfway through March already, and that means its time for another super-mega-funtime sale. Dust off your bunny ears and flower vases because the Steam Spring Sale is upon us! Be sure to check your wishlists for any indie games youve been waiting to pick up, as this is a great time to support smaller game devs. You may be familiar with our discounts by now, but we'll go ahead and give you a refresher juuuuuust in case:

• Castle Crashers Remastered is 80% off
• BattleBlock Theater is 80% off
• Pit People is 56% off

Fall is just the best season: crunchy leaves, cool breezes, and hot chocolatey drinks. Fall is also the best season if you're a gamer, because that means one thing...the Steam Autumn Sale! If you've partaken in the past, you'll know that all of our games get a good slash to the price tag, and a couple bundles do as well.

• Castle Crashers is 80% off
• Battleblock Theater is 80% off
• Pit People is 56% off

• Can't Stop Laughing Bundle (Castle Crashers and Battleblock Theater) is 76% off

It's fair to say that it's currently the perfect time for playing games together with your friends while you're... not together, and thus, it's the perfect time for the Steam Remote Play Together Sale! And the time is NOW! Right now!!
From March 25th through March 29th, get steals 'n' deals on all of our games in the Steam store! The classic fan favorites Castle Crashers and BattleBlock Theater will both be a whopping 80% off -- the perfect price to pick up copies for you and your friends, and still have savings left over! You'll also be able to get Pit People for 40% off, which is a great deal on our latest (finished) game. Grab your games of choice, then pretend you're on your friend's couch by using remote play to connect with one to three of your closest friends! (And by the way, remote play only requires the host to own a copy of the game, though for the most part your guests won't be able to unlock things on their own Steam accounts through gameplay.) If you need a Remote Play refresher, this Steam feature allows users to play games with local co-op modes together even if they're physically apart. You can learn more about this magical piece of technology right here. So sit back on your maybe virtual couch with your maybe not-so-virtual friends and get to gaming! With DEALS!

Later this month when macOS Catalina 10.15 releases, Apple will be ending support for 32-bit Mac applications. This means that if you update to the new macOS you will no longer be able to use any 32-bit Mac applications that you have, which may include BattleBlock Theater. However, these games will not be removed from your library and will continue working on earlier versions of the macOS as well as Windows. If you want to keep our (and others') 32-bit games playable on your Mac, you have several options. Workarounds include not upgrading your macOS or using the application Boot Camp to run Windows on your Mac computer. To learn more about your other options and how all of the coming changes will effect Mac users, please see Steams FAQ here.

The full retail price on March 14th will be $19.99 USD, so this is your last chance to take advantage of the discount before the price goes up!

Since our 4th game title, Pit People, officially released last Friday, we're holding a reddit AMA and it's up now! Bring us your words and ask us anything: https://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/82q87g/we_are_the_behemoth_developers_of_castle_crashers/ Feel free to ask questions about BattleBlock Theater or about our studio as well!

In March, we hit a couple big milestones on our BattleBlock Theater leaderboards: 4 million players on our XBLA leaderboards and 2 million players on our Steam leaderboards!

[img=http://blog.thebehemoth.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/6mill.jpg] BattleBlock Theater, was released a little under four years ago -- first on Xbox 360 and then on Steam a year later. In 2015, it was added to the list of Xbox One Backward Compatibility titles as well. We like to consider it a delight and can only hope you agree! Earlier this week, we hit a couple big milestones on our BattleBlock Theater leaderboards: 4 million players on our XBLA leaderboards and 2 million players on our Steam leaderboards! Over 6,000,000 [strike]prisoners[/strike] performers have made their debut on the Theater stage in just a few years!!!! It’s hard to even imagine all those people at once, isn’t it? But we try anyway and we think it looks pretty epic. We are all so grateful to have had the game played so many times by so many people. Hatty Hattington seems to be making new friends every day while Purrham Furbottom’s Theater remains just as bustling as its former glory. Thank you to everyone who played BattleBlock Theater! Thank you to everyone who built levels for everyone in the community to enjoy, and thank you to everyone who ever streamed, reviewed, criticized, listened to, looked at or talked about BattleBlock Theater. To celebrate this momentous occasion, we will be putting all BattleBlock Theater merch items in our online store on sale next week! BBT items will be 15% OFF from March 27th thru April 2nd, 11:59PM PST. Thanks again for everyone's support all these years! We shall use this positive energy as we swing into the last big completion wind of our next game, Pit People (Available now on Xbox One and Steam via Early Access!).

Some of you have been with us since the beginning when it was first known as Game 4 , and many of you have already helped us out since our Closed Betas in the fall of 2016. (If you beta tested and you’re curious what has been updated since 2016, check out this changelist.) https://www.youtube.com/embed/y5MmzFM0DlE

If you own our other games, like BattleBlock Theater, you should receive items in Pit People for having them!

AND THIS JUST IN:

We’re aiming for our next milestone, which is having our first game ever on Steam Early Access starting January 13, 2017! Pit People will be the first time we do early access and it’ll be the first time we release a digital title on two separate platforms (the other being Xbox One) in the same year!

ABOUT PIT PEOPLE

Read up on what will be in the Early Access experience and the discount you can get during Early Access:

BattleBlock Theater Hoodie! It’s that time of year where we get fancy new gear to give holiday cheer! We’ve just added several merch items to our Online Store! The photo has the hoodie modeled by our very own Ian Moreno. For those of you who have played the Pit People demo or beta, you may recognize his voice as Yosef — oh, and he’s also one of our game developers and makes music too! The rest of the items below are also modeled by Ian with the exception of the baby onesies (we tried but it just didn’t work).


If you’re planning on doing some holiday shopping and hope to get gifts delivered before December 25th, please check out the Shipping Info section for shipping deadlines. We look forward to seeing everyone wearing these new hoodies, tees, pins and onesies! If you aren’t shy about doing some modeling, like Ian did, please tweet your photos at us (@thebehemoth)!

Welcome to the first day of Winter! It’s also the first day of the Steam Winter Sale and we’ve got both our Steam games on sale for 75% Off! [img=http://blog.thebehemoth.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/SteamHolidaySale2015.jpg] Tis the season to be shopping. From now until January 4th, 10AM PST, BattleBlock Theater and Castle Crashers are 1⁄4 of the original price! Both games include solo and cooperative story modes, so you can spend your holidays how you want to: relaxing with some quality “me time” or having some laughs with a loved one for some quality “we time.” What will you do this winter? Let us know in the comments below how you’ll be spending your game time.

[img=http://blog.thebehemoth.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/agdq2015-banner.jpg] Earlier this year we had the privilege of joining the commentators for the speedrun of BattleBlock Theater in Awesome Games Done Quick (AGDQ), a charity video game marathon. We called in during the stream and watched them hit their goal of completing the game in 2 hours and 45 minutes with 100% of the items from each level. It was amazing to be a part of the experience and to see how well the speedrunners knew our game–they even had a few tricks we had never seen before! For some reason, they were crazy enough to invite us back for AGDQ 2016! We have it’s a feeling because they’re insane–or at least speedrunners PJ & MechaRichter will be when they play BattleBlock Theater on insane mode! The BattleBlock Theater speedrun is tentatively scheduled for Monday, January 4th, starting at 7:47PM EST. [img=http://blog.thebehemoth.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/20977730072_3a6014e85d_b1-200x300.jpg] Our voice actor, Will Stamper, will be joining the the commentators during the live stream of the speedrun and some of our team members will also be in the chatroom during the stream! Note: the start times of speedruns get adjusted on the day of the streams due to people completing early or going overtime during their speedruns.

[img=http://blog.thebehemoth.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/hattybustbanner.jpg] We’ve heard you’ve all been nice this year and so we’ve brought a new toy for all the girls and boys who love BattleBlock Theater!

It’s great to place above your mantelpiece or on top of your pile of papers–easy on the eyes and functional too! How could you say “no” to Hatty? I mean look at it. LOOK AT IT! [img=http://blog.thebehemoth.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/vintage_hatt_center-1024x1024.jpg] The Hatty Bust will be a part of the Cool Stuff section of our Online Store.

Hello Mac Users! We recently got a few reports from BattleBlock Theater players who had updated to the new OS X El Capitan on Mac about getting a flash sprite error when attempting to load the game. BBT Steam Update 1.4 addresses this issue and players should now be able to load the game without getting this error. Fixed: "Fatal error - Failed to load Flash Sprite shader" error no longer pops up for OS X El Capitan users. If you notice any significant changes to your gameplay experience after downloading Update 1.4, please connect with our support team here: http://support.thebehemoth.com

[img=http://blog.thebehemoth.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/LevelEditor-1024x576.jpg] We’ve seen so many thoughtful and fun playlists built using the level editor in BattleBlock Theater and we’ve enjoyed playing through different community-made levels each week! To this day, the Community Theater is home to many fan creations that any fellow BBT player can access while online. Each week, our level designers took a dedicated chunk of time to play through several community playlists to highlight the best playlists in Furbottom’s Features. However, with the end of the year approaching and Pit People development on-going, we looked into the future to see how we could continue supporting Battleblock Theater community content without stretching too much of our resources and manpower.

Furbottom’s Features set to repeat

Community Theater remains

Happy Friday, Theater patrons! We just wanted to give all the Mac users a heads up about a small update we rolled out yesterday. Update 1.3 includes:

• App icon added for Mac version
• Supported Logitech controllers now work in either XInput or DirectInput mode

We already knew that the apple was going to fall into your laps at some point (or on your head if you’re Isaac Newton) and now it has landed… Huh? Alright, that one was a bit of a stretch but all that matters now is that BattleBlock Theater Steam is now available for Mac OS X 10.7 and above! Apple consumers, rejoice! If you already had BattleBlock Theater Steam then you should be able to open up your account on a Mac computer and install our game. If you don’t own it yet, then today may be the perfect day to get it! BattleBlock Theater Steam is part of the Monster Summer Sale. It’s currently also part of a Flash Sale that runs until 10AM PDT on 6/19/2015 that puts it at 90% OFF the original price! This is some serious news and we hope you understand the gravity of it. No? Too far? Forget it… STEAM… VERSION!

We’ve already come out with oranges and bananas, but what we’ve heard from many of you is that you want the apples too. So, for you apple consumers, we’ve got good news for you: We will be updating BattleBlock Theater Steam to include Mac OS! Current players will also be able to play from Windows or Linux and move their game copy over to Mac thanks to Steam Play. As long as you own a copy of BattleBlock Theater Steam, you’ll be able to play on any of the three Steam platforms. You can purchase the game on Steam at any point and the Mac version will become available once our update goes live later this month! It will be compatible with all versions of Mac OS X 10.7 and above.

[img=http://blog.thebehemoth.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/gdq2015sm2.jpg] The amount of time spent perfecting a speedrun can be off the charts since speedrunners will learn the ins and outs of a game to find the fastest ways to the end. We certainly respect all the hours any player puts into the games we’ve made. We’ve seen numbers as high as 300 in hours spent playing BattleBlock Theater Steam! Today, two players are putting themselves up to the challenge of finishing BattleBlock Theater Steam within 2 hours and 45 minutes while playing cooperative story mode. PJDicesare & MechaRichter are playing in the 2015 Awesome Games Done Quick (AGDQ) event on January 5th, 5:00PM PST (Event time subject to change). AGDQ 2015 is a live speedrunning event that will benefit the Prevent Cancer Foundation. During the BattleBlock Theater segment, our co-founder & art director, Dan Paladin, and our game narrator, Will Stamper, will be joining the event via Skype. During the live stream of the event, Dan and Will are going to give dev commentary along with the host of the event and two other speedrun commentators. You’ll be able to ask us questions while watching PJDicesare & MechaRichter go as fast as they can through the treacherous Theater stages. Not only are they playing the full game, but their goal is running the 100% category, which involves getting an A++ rating on every single stage, including secret stages. They'll be collecting every gem and yarn in the game, and getting the time bonus, in under 2:45. Come join in on the fun! Do what we’re doing and watch from home or your office! You can watch on the Games Done Quick Twitch page or watch it on their website. Finally, since this is a charity event, we hope that you’ll consider donating to the Prevent Cancer Foundation through the Games Done Quick website. There are several incentives and prizes that you could get if you donate. See you all tonight at the stream of BattleBlock Theater!

[img=http://blog.thebehemoth.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/WebFront_BBTSteamUpdate.jpg] Happy Monday, Everyone! Today, we're excited to bring you an update with a couple big changes in BattleBlock Theater. One of the additions could potentially affect over 143 million people -- according to the 2013 census of the Russian population. (Or even more since we're not accounting for those people who are learning or have learned the language living outside of the country!) Here's what we're looking at in BattleBlock Theater Update 1.2:

• Russian Language Support We've been working on this for a while now and thank our Russian fans for their patience and continuous support. Еще раз большое спасибо за вашу поддержку!
• Update to the Online Menu UI This will improve searching and viewing different types of available online games.
• Minor bugs fixes
