Greetings earthlings, fellow aliens, and any intergalactic creatures in between! Today is the day. Alien Hominid is BACK on PlayStation! Ready your green blaster, mutation juice, and grenades – it’s time to burn the Agency to the ground, PlayStation style!

After wrapping up development on Alien Hominid Invasion last year and mulling over what updates we could bring to our entire games library, The Behemoth Roadmap was born. Our team received many requests to bring Invasion and HD over to PlayStation after their recent release in 2023, so we made sure to include this as a priority stop in our big chicken road trip!

Our small (but mighty!) team appreciates your patience greatly as we continue development on our remaining roadmap updates, and we’re so excited to finally co-launch Alien Hominid Invasion and Alien Hominid HD to PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5! Now bring out the dancing aliens!

Alien Hominid HD 

Ready to experience Alien Hominid HD in shiny 4k glory on your TV? With your mighty blaster and a group of mysterious kids by your side, destroy the Agency and reclaim your spaceship! Fight your way to Area 51 and beyond to rack up those trophies, or take a break from the chaos with any of the original mini games (including 500+ PDA Game levels!).

If you played the original game released on PlayStation waaaay back in 2004, you may notice a few improvements in Alien Hominid HD, including enhanced visuals, various quality-of-life updates, pesky bug fixes, and TURBO FIRE! That one-hit health bar is still there, though, so be sure you’re ready for the classic hardcore gameplay, otherwise you can tweak the difficulty to your liking and make the chaotic killing experience juuuuuust riiiiiight.

Alien Hominid Invasion

Got your spaceship back? We’re only getting started! Continue the chaotic adventure and join the Invasion with up to four players in this fast-paced, objective-based shoot ‘em up! Beam down to hand-drawn neighborhoods to steal enemy intel and sabotage the Agency’s plans. Carve out your own gameplay path to the enemy HQ and take down each mission’s boss; reap the rewards through unlockable mutations, weapons, abilities, and more!

On PlayStation 5, Alien Hominid Invasion will support 120hz for the first time on any console, and your DualSense controller will light up with the color of your alien’s pigment! It’s time to grab your co-op crew, get down to Patric Catani’s intergalactic beats, and make your way to the enemy HQ!


Whether you’re ready to mutate like an alien and jump into the Invasion or just itching to revisit the classic levels of Alien Hominid HD, we hope you have a delightful (and chaotic!) time playing our beloved game babies. Before you go, here’s some last words of inspiration from the Mothership: KILL-IT-FOR-MAMA.

Introduction

Hi! Hello! It’s been too long! How ya been?

The Behemoth studio is currently full of chickens revving their engines, doing jumping jacks, ready to soar over to Boston and make the magic happen for attendees of PAX East 2025! Tradeshows are one of our most favorite-est things when it comes to Making Games, because we get to bring our games to life on our homemade arcade cabinets with YOU! After having gone to many shows over many years, this indie studio (The Behemoth, that’s us) is still committed to hauling our actual blood, sweat, and tears to you across the country through our Arcade Cabinets* and daily competitions surrounding them!

*No blood, sweat, or tears** are on the arcade cabinet
**There may be tears on the Alien Hominid HD cabinet

“But what if I’m at home, and my home isn’t near PAX East, and I’m a human, not a chicken, and I can’t flap my wings to get to PAX East?”
– You reading this

Have no fear! You have a rare breed of chicken, a Dedicated Live Blog Expert Chicken here ready to supply you with real time information, updates, photographs and chicken facts!

Every single day of PAX East (May 8 through May 11) during show hours (10AM EST to 6PM EST) we’ll have new deets, photos, MOVING PHOTOS (VIDEOS), behind the scenes intel–but most importantly, A WHOLE LOTTA FUN on this live blog 🙂 

We ALL need to let our feathers loose and have some fun once in a while, and that includes you reading this at home–yes, YOU! You’re the whole reason we’re going to also host a giveaway for our readers at home, just like the one we’re hosting in-person at PAX East!

At The Behemoth, we like creating fun things, both digitally and IRL! We broke the arcade cabinet in by having a couple of competitions to see who could go the furthest in our new One-Hit Challenge Mode! 

Players control the movement of their chicken with the joystick on the left, and flap their wings to gain altitude by pressing down on our giant wing button! Handmade by John Behemoth himself and our trusted band of Handy Behemoth Chickens!

Edited Sunday May 11 at 4PM EST: Our at-home giveaway is now closed and our Steam Sale is now over! Thank you to everyone who signed up!

Sunday • May 11 • 9:54 AM
It’s the dawn of the final day! We’re ready for you, PAX!

Today we have Mike “The Bearded Chicken” Welsh battling against any willing foes on THE original Behemoth game, Alien Hominid HD! Alien Hominid HD was our first game baby that led to the creation of the company. A notoriously difficult title, Alien Hominid HD has rooted itself firmly as a classic side-scrolling shoot ’em up. (It’s this chicken’s favorite Behemoth title, personally!) Come battle in “Beat a Dev Chicken at Alien Hominid HD” to see if you’re worth your salt!

In case you missed it: Alien Hominid HD and Alien Hominid Invasion, our recent 4-player co-op re-imagining of the original game, will be launching on PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 VERY SOON! 

Sunday • May 11 • 10:17 AM
WOW! All of our available slots to play against Mike “The Bearded Chicken” Welsh have filled up within 17 minutes of opening signups! That was crazy! We’re still accepting standby signups!
Sunday • May 11 • 10:38 AM
The new BEHEMOTH arcade cabinet has proven a hit at PAX East with it’s massive wing flap controller! Really cool design by John Behemoth on this one! Did you know we hand make all of our arcade cabinets ourselves? 

Also, signups for battling Mike “The Bearded Chicken” Welsh are now OFFICIALLY COMPLETELY, IRREVOCABLY FULL! Come by Booth 18055 at 3PM to see the madness and see Mike in a chicken suit!

Some lovely fans came back to our booth to ask us (US! Can you believe it?!) to sign their vinyl of Patric Catani’s ‘Video Game Music’! Sold in our merch store (once it reopens post-PAX), this bad boy can contain so many tracks that Patric Catani did for BattleBlock Theater (and Blox in Space!)Thank you for liking us enough to want our autographs <3


We also spotted someone wearing a cool shirt! Where did he get it? How many aliens can it contain? Are there matching shorts and hats to go along with this??? (Yes there is!) We sell a full Alien Horde getup in our magical merch store, so check back post-PAX if you would like to be dressed to the nine-billions!

Sunday • May 11 • 2:40 PM

And we’re getting ready for our 3PM “Beat a Dev Chicken” competition! Players will be up against Mike “The Bearded Chicken” Welsh in the video game he has mastered, Alien Hominid HD! Mike remains undefeated since we started this competition at PAX East last year, but will a new challenger approach? Will an alien rise to the occasion and dethrone our bearded chicken dev?!

Here you can see two Behemoth Chickens in their natural habitat, The Behemoth Booth, modifying our BEHEMOTH cabinet to also display Alien Hominid HD. This way, Mike and his Formidable Foe he goes up against will each have their own cabinet! Fun fact: as you can see, we only have one Alien Hominid HD cabinet. The first time we attempted this competition format, we took the video display that you see to the right of the Alien Hominid HD cabinet, and swung it around. Mike then played on the “Player 2” controls on the cabinet whilst looking WAY away from the controls.

Now, Mike will still be looking at a different screen, but will be a whole lot closer!

Here we see Mike in his natural habitat, ruminating over the best alien acrobatics he can think of (SPAM THE SHOOT BUTTON!!!) He’s ready to run circles around the competition, look at those shoes!

Sunday • May 11 • 3:39 PM
Our “Beat a Dev Chicken” competition is underway! 

Sunday • May 11 • 4:00 PM
That’s a wrap on our final competition of PAX East 2025! Thank you so much to everybody who came out and went up against Mike…we know this is no easy task, but you showed up and tried anyway! May your courage be forever represented by your Alien Hominid YouTooz and all the wonderful memories you have getting defeated by a developer at their own game!

Mike retains his crown for the third consecutive show!

How does Behemoth dev Mike “The Bearded Chicken” Welsh spend his free time? Legend has it he’s in an arcade wearing a big chicken suit, encouraging gamers to get good at Alien Hominid HD speedruns, and handing them prizes to boost morale… Mike is officially undefeated for THREE SHOWS IN A ROW!

Thank you to every single person who walked through our booth, whether it was just to get somewhere quicker, to experience our plush carpet, to play our games, chat with us, check out our merch to support our continued development…each and every one of you is the reason we are still able to do what we love: make games, experiences, and have fun while doing so.

A Green Knight Art Contest Winners https://blog.thebehemoth.com/2025/03/20/a-green-knight-art-contest-winners/ Thu, 20 Mar 2025 22:24:27 +0000 https://blog.thebehemoth.com/?p=23960 Thank you so much to everybody who participated in our art contest! It’s always a treat to look at hundreds of artistic creations of our beloved knights, and you all certainly delivered!


In no particular order, here are the three (3) winners of one (1) Green Knight Figurine (banana not included despite many pleading emails why do you all want a banana from us so badly):


Geoff H.

Dan says: The tunic on this knight with the realistic looking version of that sword is spot-on.  Sometimes I like to pretend I designed all these details, and then I have to remember that no, Geoff made these details and man do they deliver.  Didn’t stop there, either, and went ahead to draw the Green Princess, too!  Look at that extra gear on the side and back.  Oh man it almost looks like they could be from a movie!!!


Michael Howe Arts

Dan says: Okay, something about these tall Barbarians gives me some wonderous vibe, one that I haven’t felt since the 80s watching people riding around dinosaurs with lasers attached to them.  The Green Knight looks like he doesn’t mess around, and it looks like those bombs are more practical than magic which gets the mind racing, too!  I can imagine all of it moving and that cute dino ride suddenly is horrifying!  Love it!!


Yotsumii

Dan says: This is probably the cutest faceplate I’ve ever seen on a knight.  Let’s not forget they are functionally impossible to lift up, but that’s my fault!  Love the colors, love the line weight around the silhouettes, and happy to see the four leaf clovers all over the place.  I feel FREE, I feel like a Green Knight with NO enemies in sight!  I feel adorable!!!!!!!!  Really good values in the lighting on the back of that helmet, too!


Wait, one more thing!

It wouldn’t be a Behemoth art contest without a last-minute, extra set of prizes because we love you all so much but do not possess the power to award the over three hundred submissions we received!

Noodlespark

Dan says: It’s a strange thing, isn’t it, taking a four leaf clover from the inside of a living frog?  What do you think this weapon’s stats would be??  I’m thinking some lucky crits!


Dumb’s World

Dan says: There’s something about those eyes, something strange and mysterious.  The way this guy looks makes me wonder if I’d want to know him or not.  He’s kind of cute but also fairly intimidating at the same time, leading with the sword point and all.  Technically he’s alive in the same world as I am, so there’s a chance of us running across one another.


Alejandra

Dan says:  Oh I see!  Was it the chicken that gave the poison knight his powers?  Or did the Green Knight come from the chicken?  Did the Green Knight make the chicken?  HMMM.  I love that this was done on paper.  Your craftsmanship is good with no smudges in sight!  Better than I could do – I smear stuff all the time


Okay, really, one last thing for real this time:

Because there were so many incredible submissions, Co-founder and Art Director Dan Paladin has hand picked some honorable mentions with accompanying quotes from Dan the Man himself!

MP

Dan says: This was so cozy, I do like to think that the Green Knight gets to relax sometimes between all that fighting. This certainly felt like it’s from an alternate universe, and I really respect that.

Jit Sauce

Dan says: The rendering on this is so modern and hype, along with that really dynamic pose! The skull teeth in the background is also a nice touch. Really nice work, I want to see more from you!

Grace

Dan says: This one’s proportions are so weird to the point that I love it. The eyes are super high where the original design has them very low. An undeniable deliberate hand worked on this, and it can’t help but stand out — It feels like something that might’ve existed in another era!

Caleb

Dan says: This one made me laugh and it’s really cool.  So thoughtful it’s undeniable – the lemon proves it extra, just so we could get the sense of scale!  Keep it going!!

Vicent

Dan says: I would totally buy a sticker of this or something. It feels legit and has a clean approach! I like the alterations to the outfit, as well as the feeling of super fast motion. Nice job!

Gendermop

Dan says: Something about the hands captivates me here. I think I feel like the Beholder in this one and I love the vibe!

Funni 342

Dan says: I think this one has to be the most on-par with the allergic Green Knight helmet in terms of backstory. So THAT’S why he came home looking like that! Flowery Fields are no joke lol

Jmscelzi

Dan says: I could see this easily being a poster. Good angle, good lines, good action, good colors! Poison is weakest against the swamp enemies but it still works if you use enough of it!!!

doobiebloppy250

Dan says: Why is this so cute? Haha, I love it and the feeling it gives!

Deren

Dan says: This is the #1 best use of St. Patrick’s theme with a Hatty Hattington hat. There’s no denying this. I am glad Herbert is out here joining in parades. I like to think that’s what he’s doing on a regular basis!

Ant C

Dan says: Who sees this and doesn’t notice the lighting? Very bold, and lots of work in the finer details like the rising enemies in the background. The undead demon grabbing the Green Knight is so epic. Lots of love went into this one!

Zowren

Dan says: Oh my gosh this GIF is like I’m re-experiencing the Evil Wizard fight all over again.  Getting out of the way of those vertical bolts, turning the tables and seeing his big eyes!!!  This is killer and caught our eyes.  I can’t wait to see what other things you make in the future, Zowren!

Lucas F

Dan says: Oh man, the style is so cool here. The whole room has custom stuff. I want to know what’s on the Hatty cartridge but I also want to play a pixel version of Castle Crashers, too!!! Meowburt looks so cozy and is one of my favorite details. Bonus points for the Pit People cartridge!

Jesse S

Dan says: I can relate to this so deeply, and the meme reference isn’t lost on me. These guys seem like they both ate half of the sandwich co-op style and are lean powerhouses!

Kerry O

Dan says: When I was looking to redesign the knights in our new Fresh style, I tried a knight head that looked kind of like a skull. This also explores that idea and there’s just something about the way the glare was done here that completely captures my imagination. So awesome!

Stephanie D

Dan says: I really like the rendering with the subtle textures mixed in. I feel like this is something I would have seen growing up somewhere from some kind of cartoon series. Is that what it feels like to have grown up with Castle Crashers? Maybe!!!!

Daniel

Dan says: I’m such a fan of the beautiful armor in here, as well as the XoX troll-face in the background. Super cool style, and I like the health potion on his waist – did you know in the new version of Castle Crashers, potions will be auto-use even if you’re playing alone? This knight is set for another go!!!

Aldwin.Animeart

Dan says: This seems like something that should have existed when I was into playing with ninja toys. It’s like something that would have been competing with TMNT, or maybe even TMNT where Shredder gets fused with one of the turtles?? Great wardrobe choices, the boot design is wicked.

Leon

Dan says: Leon, I also love Castle Crashers and I want to thank you for putting so much work into this mural. That’s probably my favorite seahorse render I’ve seen yet!

Leinad_Arte

Dan says: This ad for Green Knight Poison makes me want to take a whiff, but I still don’t really trust it, if that makes sense! The king’s kind of winning me over, though. Awesome job!

Hallie

Dan says: When I saw this one, I stared at it for a while. Really nice lighting and perspective, clean lines with cool details like the chip along the jaw. Keep on going!

Mike

Dan says: This is really cool and looks totally legit. The blacksmith design along the bottom is super cool, the duckshark face inclusion is killer, and that’s probably the best render of our chicken logo I’ve seen in a while. I want it on my car!

Tom G

Dan says: This is adorable and made me laugh, so I want to thank you for that. I love that the mystique of who is under that helmet remains — even when the Green Knight is a baby! Almost makes me wonder if he’s like the Mandalorians in that sense?

Repinum

Dan says: I tried to figure out what was going on here for the longest time. That one in the lower right is looking straight into my soul, and he’s got this kind of squishy head or something which makes me slightly uncomfortable in a good way! What is that thing receiving the twig in the back, anyway? The beauty is that we’ll never know!! Amazing — AND all four knights are Green! Why are ALL FOUR Green??? I like how you think.


Rest assured, if you emailed in your submission, we ‘ooh-ed’ and ‘ahh-ed’ over it. The amount of eye bleach we needed this time was minimal, and we appreciate that very much, friends! Let’s keep that up!

Also, a hefty personal thank you from the chickens here at The Behemoth studio that got to read the endearing notes that accompanied many of your submissions. It means a lot to have created a game that still sits so strongly in the hearts of the players who help us keep it alive. We’re so excited to share the upcoming Painter Boss Paradise DLC with you and appreciate your patience as we put some extra coats of paint on it before it releases early this Summer!

And if you haven’t wishlisted the DLC yet, it would mean a lot to us if you could take a second to do so:

Now let the art begin! Take a gander at our selection of Green Knight entries below! We posted as many as we could with the behemoth amount of submissions we received!

Click on an image to view it in full size in another tab!




Hooray! Thanks for reading and perusing our art gallery all the way until the very end. Bonus points to you for art enrichment!

What art contest will we do next? What day of the week is best for picking a four-leaf clover? WHEN EXACTLY IS THE DLC RELEASING?!

Find answers to these questions and more at some point in the future! To be determined. At a later date currently unknown.

(Or is it?)
