After a very helpful Steam closed beta in October, we continued development on Pit People with tons of feedback from the community.

Now, we’re going for our next milestone, which is having our first game ever on Steam Early Access starting January 13, 2017. Pit People will be the first time we do early access and it’ll be the first time we release a digital title on two separate platforms (the other being Xbox One) in the same year!




After implementing our changes post-beta, holding onto the game in its current state just feels weird. The core gameplay is complete and we’ll be adding content until the full version is released. We feel that Pit People is at a point where we’ll confidently say there’s more than enough fun, content, variety, value and play-time to keep someone happy. We won’t sell something unless it meets these standards, so it definitely seems like it is time! This will also be a good opportunity to monitor the balance in the game and continue getting feedback from you and the Steam community as we finish up!

Feel free to come along with us on this trip (when you dip I dip we dip).




The Pit People Early Access experience will include a sizeable chunk of the Story mission, plus access to several world maps (yes, there are more than one!), quests, Unfair Challenge against the AI, and Versus mode. The game can be experienced as a single player or two-player cooperative mode. Additionally, versus can be played with up to 4 people in 2v2. All multiplayer modes can be played locally or online!

We’ll be continuing development throughout Early Access which means things like more quests, collectible items, story missions, world maps and other polish will be worked on--Except this time you can be right there with us just like Atreyu & Bastian from the Neverending Story!


As a thank you to those who support our first ever early access release and in appreciation for playing the game early during its development stages, there will be a $5 discount off the full release price! Pit People will be a low $15 during Early Access!! Once the game has made its full release, the price point will be $20. Of course, if you purchase it during Early Access the game will unlock all the features once the full release comes out and you keep all of your save data.

Note: The Xbox One version and Steam version are separate purchases and cross-platform between the two are not supported.

To keep up with our game updates, follow us on Twitter @thebehemoth and the Pit People Facebook. See you all in 2017 for the launch! It may be “next year” but it’s only a few weeks away!

HOT OFF THE PRESSES! New Pit People Fighter Hoodie!


It’s that time of year where we get fancy new gear to give holiday cheer! We’ve just added several merch items to our Online Store!

The Pit People Fighter Hoodie that you see above has never been shown or sold before this week. The design is based on one of our most popular Pit People t-shirt designs, but in a warm and cozy pullover hoodie edition. Now you can still show off your favorite Pit People creatures even on the coldest days of winter!

The photo has the hoodie modeled by our very own Ian Moreno. For those of you who have played the Pit People demo or beta, you may recognize his voice as Yosef — oh, and he’s also one of our game developers and makes music too! The rest of the items below are also modeled by Ian with the exception of the Pit People pins.











If you’re planning on doing some holiday shopping and hope to get gifts delivered before December 25th, please check out the Shipping Info section for shipping deadlines.

We look forward to seeing everyone wearing these new hoodies & tees and sporting the pins! If you aren’t shy about doing some modeling, like Ian did, please tweet your photos at us (@thebehemoth)!

You think Hair Trolls are tough? Well, take a look at the Troll Mom! First, here’s a video that takes a closer look at what she looks like as Dan Paladin creates some customizable looks that players will be able to use in Pit People.



This maternal beast is practically three times the size of a Pit People human so she takes up 3 Team Slots. This mother of trolls has a range of skills that we’ll be covering in this post:
