Castle Crashers teams up on Arena

Tuesday, May 11th, 2010

Dear humans,

We have always had more ideas for Castle Crashers than we’ve had time to implement. It’s a lot like raising a kid.  You want to take your time and make them perfect but at some point you have to let them leave the nest or they might become a cave troll.  If your kid happens to move back in after college you are suddenly granted another shot to teach them all the stuff you couldn’t before.  Like how to get a job so they can pay for their own apartment or tie their shoes.

So since we’ve had to rewrite the code for the game anyway as we bring it to PS3, we’ve been able to add some features that have been lingering in the backs of our minds since this whole thing started.  Here is an example of this:

Player Arena matches will now allow you to choose teams! You can play 2 on 2 or take on the world with 1 v 3.  Of course, you can still do free-for-all as well.  Sharing a sweet, sweet victory with your friend is like eating a delicious cake in front of your other friends while they cry.  It’s like their pride is inside the cake that you are devouring and your teammate is your stomach helping to digest that pride.  And there can only be one mouth and one stomach to eat it with, so the other mouth and stomach have to watch even though mouths and stomachs don’t have eyes.  Take that, eyeless teeth and stomachs.

Speaking of digestion.. please do us a favor by tasting these screenshots and watch our QA ninjas team up to beat the tar out of each other after the jump.

Castle Crashers PS3 Update!!

Tuesday, May 4th, 2010

Dear Behemites,

We know you have been eagerly awaiting news on Castle Crashers for PS3, so here is an update for you!

Our indefatigable programmers have been working their little fingers to the bone to make this game perfect for you. We’ve completed our internal testing, courtesy of our new Testopia office, a wonderland of testing joy. We have now sent the title off to a 3rd party vendor for final testing before we begin the submission process with Sony.

“OK, great.. but when is it releasing? I must crash castles NAOW!!” you scream.

“We don’t know!” Says the mighty Chicken. “We hear you better when you don’t yell.” Much depends on how this final round of testing goes. But we are in the final stretch. And of course we will keep you posted when we know any firm, or even squishy dates.

In the meantime, more new info for you!

Trophies! Most of the trophies will be the same as the XBLA Achivements. To replace the “Glork” achievement from good ol’ All You Can Quaff, we have a new Volleyball trophy: “Social Networker.” Brush up on your social skills, as you will have to work with the other team to achieve an impressive number of volleys back and forth. Also, we’ve added a new Gold Trophy for those of you crazy enough to beat the game on Insane mode. This Trophy is called, appropriately, “You are Insane.
