Looks like you had fun then?

Sep. 3, 2007 | 12:28 AM DanPaladin responds:

YES

Sep. 2, 2007 | 2:36 PM Nuggs says:

I really want to play this game...

Sep. 2, 2007 | 2:46 PM KidneyBeanClock says:

I wish there was some way I could buy Castle Crashers without getting an XBox 360. It looks even better than Alien Hominid, as I am a fan of this kind of game.

Sep. 2, 2007 | 2:52 PM Sparki29 says:

I am a nother fan of all the games made by you and Tom Fulp and yes I am going to ask that all mighty question ...
WHEN IS THE GAME GONNA COME OUT !!!

Sep. 3, 2007 | 12:29 AM DanPaladin responds:

we aren't saying

Sep. 2, 2007 | 3:23 PM Josh-B says:

I wanted to go so bad. :-(

Sep. 2, 2007 | 4:08 PM Goonie says:

Those pictures looks sexy. When it comes out, I do plan on buying it. Just like when Alien Homicide came out.

Thanks for making the sweetest games on the 360.

Sep. 9, 2007 | 4:28 PM DanPaladin responds:

ah yes. sweet sweet alien homicide. :)

no, thank you sir!

Sep. 2, 2007 | 4:14 PM Flee says:

Those figurines = DO WANT.

Sep. 9, 2007 | 4:29 PM DanPaladin responds:

they might be online later on this year at the behemoth store.

Sep. 2, 2007 | 5:35 PM FrozenFire says:

Just watched game footage for the first time, I Bought Alien Homomid on XBLA and Found it incredibly hard (impossible for me) TO beat the last boss without losing a life ;D

I will Def. Be buying this game and I will def. Win the Princess' love.

Sep. 9, 2007 | 4:30 PM DanPaladin responds:

yeah it's pretty much a lot to ask when it comes to doing a run in alien hominid without dying.

castle crashers is a little nicer when it comes to decimating the player.

thanks, but that one isn't for me i don't think

Sep. 3, 2007 | 11:25 AM voidshatter says:

get that thing i sent ya? (harvey birdman attorney at law quote)

Sep. 9, 2007 | 4:23 PM DanPaladin responds:

i dunno

Sep. 4, 2007 | 1:11 PM Rucklo says:

God I love that behemoth chicken thingy... I just wanna beat it silly. You guys should add a secret level in AH where one could beat the living crap out of it. Seriously.

Sep. 9, 2007 | 4:22 PM DanPaladin responds:

we plan on allowing chicken beating, whether or not it goes in there is another story

Sep. 4, 2007 | 3:58 PM Rucklo says:

and by AH i meant CC. damnit.

Sep. 4, 2007 | 4:51 PM voidshatter says:

@rucklo: in the mini game chicken chase, you eat em

Sep. 4, 2007 | 5:27 PM Rig says:

Why oh why do you not have a custom level icon like the other staff members do? :|

Sep. 9, 2007 | 4:21 PM DanPaladin responds:

they hate me.

Sep. 4, 2007 | 6:13 PM Spikrodd says:

okay... i got a few songs i wish to display to you.

wow thats a lot of songs O__o leave a review plz nd thnx

Sep. 9, 2007 | 4:25 PM DanPaladin responds:

most of it is sooo laid back, no? i am not in a laid back mood so i don't know how to appropriately review. just not my current cup of tea, i want to jam! each tune has a pretty different feel, that's a good thing!!

Sep. 4, 2007 | 6:40 PM Shadow16nh says:

Some orchestral works from the CC contest...

<a href="http://www.newgrounds.com/audio/liste n/86560">Castle Crasher Menu 2

Thanks,

Sep. 9, 2007 | 4:27 PM DanPaladin responds:

orchestral is RIGHT. i felt like i was in the theatre or something listening to a concert. IMHO they seem a bit far from the CC world i'm sorry to say, as some of them are more of a lull whereas the action in castle crashers is so playful or intense. nonetheless, well-made!

What?
Is this the place where i post my crap?
well.

I present to you , a bunch of sounds put together! =D

Sep. 9, 2007 | 3:51 PM DanPaladin responds:

not bad, but i have to nitpick. i think my main gripe is the underlying strings. they are a bit tiresome on the ears after a while, but they start doing different things near the end and that's when it really starts to have some flavor. i would recommend having them either not so loud or have them do something else throughout the majority of the loop, since they are what i am focused on most.

Updated: Sep. 9, 2007, 3:52 PM

Sep. 4, 2007 | 11:51 PM cornandbeans says:

hey there...
just a little menu loop. hope it's fitting.

http://www.newgrounds.com/audio/liste n/91286

Sep. 9, 2007 | 3:36 PM DanPaladin responds:

yes yes i dig that very much. i would like it to be the official menu loop, personally.

for anyone else who has posted something and i haven't responded yet, i will respond sooner or later i promise :)

Sep. 5, 2007 | 2:57 AM DarKsidE555 says:

Well, here's my only contribution to the contest...Apart from many other submitters who mostly took on classic stuff, my entry is the only one besides Toonanimated which goes into the metal side of CC, with real guitars of course. >:(

Inspired by the Barbarian Bash trailer:

http://www.gametrailers.com/player/17 962.html

Funfact: It even fits in the fight when you start the video at 1:02 and the tune at the same time. Anyways, here's a "loopable boss battle tune". Thanks for reading/listening! \m/

http://www.newgrounds.com/audio/liste n/90843

Sep. 9, 2007 | 3:48 PM DanPaladin responds:

it's pretty cool, but there's not much variety in the loop. the whole thing is full blast the entire way - maybe a bit of a drum solo or just something to take the edge for a second while keeping the energy? i dunno. but it's still sweet.

Sep. 5, 2007 | 5:17 PM Winterwind-NS says:

Here are a few..

thanks for listening!
:]

Sep. 9, 2007 | 3:38 PM DanPaladin responds:

i remember these from the voting period - i think creature at the mill has a very distinct sound to it. i can't tell without testing out the actual sequence on whether or not it goes with that sequence, but nonetheless it has a cool sound to it. all of the pieces are well-made - good job!!

Sep. 5, 2007 | 5:18 PM Armymenis12 says:

http://www.newgrounds.com/audio/liste n/95042

Please take the time to listen to this one, it wasn't entered into the MAC.

Sep. 9, 2007 | 3:43 PM DanPaladin responds:

it's quite good. has a great feel to it. not sure if it gives me the feel of forbidden love but that is trivial. i have used a similar chord structure before, but it doesn't hold a candle to yours. about 35 seconds into 'habitat': http://www.newgrounds.com/audio/l isten/8181

Sep. 6, 2007 | 8:53 PM Rig says:

This thingy was made for a Command & Conquer mod :P
http://www.newgrounds.com/audio/liste n/94774

Sep. 9, 2007 | 3:45 PM DanPaladin responds:

pretty cool. i love that crazy stuff that kicks in around 30 seconds. i felt like the guitar riff was a little too frequent, but it's a good deal.

Sep. 8, 2007 | 10:06 PM Superperpel says:

Fuck you Dan

Sep. 9, 2007 | 3:46 PM DanPaladin responds:

INNAPPROPRITATESS LOL

Sep. 10, 2007 | 5:49 PM azwsxdcrfv says:

Hey did you recently add a couple things to Alien Hominid (XBLA)? I remember hearing some music while playing those pda games recently and I don't think it was there before. Also I hope castle crashers is as intense as alien hominid, I mean I don't want to get all the awards as easily as I did on AH, I just can't seem to get the one where you kill the boss without losing a life (I think it was that). I can get to the last part where (SPOILER ALERT) you fight the master alien on the plane but then I seem to die a couple times. Anyway I hope you enjoyed cornandbeans menu loop as much as I did.

Sep. 10, 2007 | 10:43 PM DanPaladin responds:

those things you are noticing are bug fixes. we always intended to have music playing in PDA but it just wasn't. so we fixed it, along with some other sound bugs and stuff. yes, the loop was swift.

Sep. 11, 2007 | 3:24 PM Retrato says:

I youst love dad'n'my!
Your the best!

Sep. 17, 2007 | 8:10 PM Shikamaru999 says:

Hey Dan I can't beat that blue alien dog on alein hominid. Got any tips???? And is Castle Crashers just coming out for 360 or is it coming out for more consoles?

Oct. 1, 2007 | 6:49 PM DanPaladin responds:

grenades get the dog pretty well i think. and chargeshots.

CC has only been announced for XBLA at this time sir

Sep. 23, 2007 | 2:25 AM MacUser says:

Your next game must star pirates!

Sep. 25, 2007 | 7:53 PM Shadow186 says:

hey, you may remember me leaving a comment on alien hominid that you deleted, an I will tell you that i had to have been hacked, because I didn't write that, and I wouldn't talk like that. besides i've never played AH before in my lfe. I don't even have a ps2. Now I gotta find out who did that...

Oct. 1, 2007 | 6:48 PM DanPaladin responds:

i don't delete comments, the community manages that stuff

Oct. 3, 2007 | 8:31 PM Gunshy says:

well i'm sure i missed the competition,... but.... plug!

Oct. 8, 2007 | 10:27 AM Pearlock says:

Greetings to you. can you please make another flash that continues the Dad n' Me series? It doesn't have to be a game but for once can you mabey make a flash movie on that series?

Oct. 9, 2007 | 8:41 PM DanPaladin responds:

i'll see what i can do later on, boss. but right now i am jampacked

Oct. 8, 2007 | 6:57 PM Pearlock says:

My friend has had the alien Homanid video game for the GC for almost a year. Good stuff. :)
You should consider making some other console games.:)

Oct. 9, 2007 | 8:41 PM DanPaladin responds:

Nov. 12, 2007 | 4:41 PM DanPaladin responds:

Oct. 13, 2007 | 6:30 AM Life-Stream says:

Hey man, love those little castle crasher figures you guys got. They look so cool. I´d really like to get them, but i can´t travel half way across the world to go to these conventions ;_;

Nov. 12, 2007 | 4:41 PM DanPaladin responds:

we should have some on thebehemoth.com's store sometime in the future, so no worries!

Oct. 17, 2007 | 6:46 PM Spikrodd says:

MOAR EPICNESS.

a wider palate of songs for you, still some ambient. Drum and bass, hip hop... yeah.

Nov. 12, 2007 | 4:43 PM DanPaladin responds:

Oct. 19, 2007 | 12:44 AM Achromatic says:

Wow, I really want one of those figurines. I think you whole style of art is amazing, pretty inspiring to me :D

Oct. 24, 2007 | 9:47 PM Shikamaru999 says:

Well thanks I killed the blue dog. But now I can't kill the muscular Alien Hominid at the final level. Why Dan? Why? Why did you have to make it so hard? Lol! But I really need help.

Nov. 12, 2007 | 4:47 PM DanPaladin responds:

don't let him get near you on the first pattern. use chargeshots.

2nd wave stay under the platforms and fire when its safe.

3rd wave the bullets come out of the chutes from left to right.

4th is like the 1st.

Nov. 1, 2007 | 6:20 PM thegorillaz says:

i really really really want those badboy figurenes any chance selling them in shops over here with kid robot?

Nov. 12, 2007 | 4:51 PM DanPaladin responds:

i can't really spoil the surprise for anyone, but you go to a variety of places and one of the mini-game type things is the arena where you can fight eachother in a few different ways. archery battles, regular battles, chasing chicken battles, etc.

Dec. 18, 2007 | 8:42 PM WritersBlock says:

Castle crashers is coming out tomorrow, yes? In time for Christmas, yes?
And you will give me an X-Box 360 and a copy of Castle Crashers so I can play the awesomeness, yes?
No.
Well, I tried, I guess I'll have to go back to my PS2 and clock Alien Hominid again. Got over 500, 000 points last time (don't tell anyone it was on easy mode though).

Jan. 17, 2008 | 6:15 PM DanPaladin responds:

i think AH is great but is there a diffrence between the PC,GC, PS2 And 360 version?

Jan. 17, 2008 | 6:17 PM DanPaladin responds:

yes. the PC version is just a flash game. the GC PS2 versions are a full epic story with lots more things you can do and minigames. the 360 version is a higher res version of those two with online multiplayer in the PDA minigames.
