Alien Hominid 10th Year Anniversary!

Tuesday, August 7th, 2012

Here ye, here ye. Today marks a joyous occasion: The birth of flash game Alien Hominid on Newgrounds.com. Fathered by Tom Fulp and Dan Paladin, Alien Hominid was the game that brought The Behemoth together.

After the game came to FRUITION on August 7, 2002, John Baez became the father of both Dan and Tom illegitimately.   You see, Dan packed his stuff up to go home after work and happened to be passing by John Baez’s desk to hear the oh-so-familiar “pew pew!” sounds.  John said he wanted to create a console version of Alien Hominid and Dan was like “OH I worked on that, fellow co-worker!!!!!!”.  SO, these three dudical dudes became the Owners Three when they formed The Behemoth in 2003.  I bet you can imagine how they must feel about the 10th Year Anniversary of Alien Hominid, the twinkle that started it all!

Fruition is a great word and all, but we shall have no fruitcake this time around. No fruitcake for you! Only ten-year-old cake that we will stuff our mouths with in celebration of this tremendous occasion.

We wish Alien Hominid a happy birthday and hope you’ll join us in the celebrations by playing the original online version here. It’s still free and over 20 million people have already played it! Get in the game!

IGF Winners, Network Fun

Friday, March 31st, 2006

Incase you haven’t heard yet, Dad ‘n Me took home the award for Best Web Browser Game at the 2006 IGF Awards. You can read all about Tom and Dan’s adventure at this years festival over at Newgrounds. In other news, Tim from Newgrounds came to visit us here in San Diego. The purpose of the trip was to fix some crazy networking stuff between our two offices. All went well and we are up and running now, thanks for the help Tim. Finally, Comic-Con is only 4 months away and we can’t wait.

Working on “the next game” (Part 2)

Tuesday, January 24th, 2006

Last week everyone in the San Diego office flew to the brand new Newgrounds office located in Glenside, PA. In addition to our flight, Dan Paladin made the trip to the Newgrounds HQ as well. The goal of the trip was to finalize some key items on our next game. It was a very successful trip and we accomplished so much in just one week! Here are some pictures from our little adventure.
