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!


Back In Stock!

As promised, the Castle Crashers Figurines are now back in stock!

We spent the weekend packing the figurines and dropped them off eariler this morning. I can't predict how long these guys will remain in stock, but if last week was any indication, I would suggest you hurry up and grab a set now.

Remember, we have a promotion right now, if you buy 3 knights, the 4th is free!


Inventory update
Well in an unexpected turn of events we've completely sold out of our Castle Crashers Figurines. We originally thought they would last at least through the holidays, but we had an amazing amount of sales in the past 2 days, and it completely wiped out our stock.

The good news is that we will be re-stocking the figures this week, and I will post something the second they are back in. Thank you to everyone who purchased a set, your support is greatly appreciated! In case you haven't seen the new store yet, go check it out now, it's brand new and shiny.


Merchandise is here!
After many long hours, many, many, long hours we're happy to announce our brand new Behemoth Store We've teamed up some great guys over at Merch Lackey, who are located right here in San Diego and we've put together some great items for you to check out.

Before you can even ask, yes we have Castle Crashers figurines in stock! And yes they are awesome!

In addition to our Castle Crasher figurines, we have some new t-shirts for you to check out as well. Ranging from our exclusive Troll Polo's to our revolutionary, Choose Your Adventure line of t-shirts, all designed by our very own Dan Paladin.

What's a Choose Your Adventure t-shirt you ask? Let us exaplain.................


First you buy a shirt. There are three designs to choose from, all of which ship with your very own red marker. Then you decide where you want your adventure to go, is it a Horse, Tofu, Refrigerator? Snake, Sausage, Skateboard? Or a Snail, Cat, or Squirrel. You decide, it's your shirt, it's your adventure.


Look it's an update!
Happy Halloween, Thanksgiving, and whatever else we missed in the past few months. Although our updates haven't been as frequent, rest assured we've been hard at work with Castle Crashers development, as well as some other projects we have lined up.

We've all been working furiously attempting to make Castle Crashers as glorious as we possibly can. Here is a little teaser screenshot for you to enjoy while you wait.

Lastly, if you have a free second and would like to help a friend of The Behemoth out with her thesis project, head on over to this site and fill out a brief survey (10 questions) It will help her receive her masters degree, not to mention education is fun!!!!!

That's it for now, we'll have more shortly!


Comic-Con wrap up

Although Comic-Con was a few weeks back, we have finally finished our 2007 wrap up of this years show. Head on over to the Comic-Con 2007 section and check out some of the highlights of the year.

Next up is the annual Penny-Arcade Expo

This will be our second year attending, and we really look forward to this show. We had a blast last year and we are excited to be a part of it again. Our booth is located right by the front entrance. As always we'll be the ones with the giant chickens everywhere. That's about all the logos I can fit in one post, so I'll make this one short. Hope to see you all there!
