We just closed out a very action-packed April, which saw contests, Twitch drops, and the launch of Community Milestones, which we’ll touch on below along with some other fun updates!


Check out this GO Kart gaming kiosk we had the honor of bringing to the Seattle Children's Hospital in partnership with Gamers Outreach! We are so proud to have contributed to this amazing and important effort, and we’re looking forward to our next charity fundraiser!

This month we’re featuring two crafty geniuses from the creative channel of our Discord! First up, we have a crochet Stay-Puft and Garraka from Cuddlebone. They claim they hate making dolls, but they sure are good at it! Look at those faces!



Next, we have this amazing project from Infernal who turned a motorcycle helmet into a Trap Minion! He teamed up with his Wife, remarking, “My wife painted the eyes and nose, but everything else was all me (including the baby doll mutilation).” Yikes!




We recently ran a series of Community Milestones, and it was a smash hit! The community vandalized, de-slimed, and re-slimed their way through every challenge, unlocking the rewards for everyone to enjoy! We’re thrilled by how much this event took off, and we can’t wait to plan the next round of milestones!

That's a wrap for this recap. Thank you for being a part of this amazing community, and be sure to join our Discord and watch our Socials for events, sneak peeks, contests, giveaways, and more!

The Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed Team

New position for male-female, male-shemale and male-male couples

The "Gotcha" Button bug is now fixed and the pushed, so you should have access to it immediately.

I've released "Spartan-1" Loadout as now apart of the base reticles that come with ADS. This is a thank you to all the community for your patience if you were one of the unlucky ones to experience this bug.



Thanks again, and have a bandit day!

The main focus for this patch was getting the game to be playable on many different monitor resolutions with minimal compromise (Note: Vertical resolutions are not recommended)

- any resolution is now playable without black bars or limiting view
- made windowed mode freely resizable
- removed camera zooming in/out occurring on different resolutions
- fixed player health bar appearing in different positions relative to the character on certain resolutions
- fixed cursor-based movement joystick UI sizing inconsistencies on different resolutions
- damage numbers and boss health bars are now rendered smooth rather than pixelated for readability
- fixed odd formatting on the Pufferfish's compendium entry description
- improved Wood Axe weapon's base attack size, crit chance, attack frequency, and knockback
- changed timer for 5 second boss kill achievement to start only after the boss initially takes damage

Stay tuned for a content update coming later this month!

Dear friends,

We’ve just released a new update, Version 1.04, that contains several bugfixes:

• The HP bars of enemies now appear where they’re supposed to during combat. Previously, the HP bars of certain enemies were concealed behind the player’s cards.
  
• The “Targeted Reflection” combat skill card now works as intended. Your current defense value is no longer lowered by using it.
  
• The chance of catching a question-mark item is now 5% when fishing.
  
• Fixed certain achievements resetting when attempting to start a new game (namely: Haggler, Jack-Of-All-Trades, Craftsman, Chef, “You Know, You Want to Live,” Overnight, and “Okay, I’ll Bite.”)

Today, we also set up cloud saving via the Steam Cloud with support for cross-platform saves, implemented the Remote Play option, and implemented Family Library Sharing. Please give these features a try and let us know if any of them are broken or not functioning as intended.

Thank you to everyone who’s written us messages in comments and reviews! We rarely have time to respond directly due to our workloads, but we’re reading every one of your messages. Thank you to all the players who’ve purchased and played our game! Thank you to all of you, friends! You’re the greatest!

* Fix for window focus when presented with special "note" about running user's game in Full-screen window mode.
* Released Spartan-1 for free as a thank you for user's patience and understanding
* Added editor for Messages widget

• Added a Translation Movement Element to Move Entity to adjust Entities visual translations.
  
• Behind the scenes work on update tile-based movement.

On Monday, we released the Juicy Variety Update, introducing a handful of new hazards, areas, enemies, and modifiers to Alien Hominid Invasion! What better way to celebrate the update than with some friendly community competitions?

We have three competitions for you this time around: a 2-player co-op fresh profile high score challenge (with Normal and INSANE mode categories), a Show Off mutation short-form video challenge, and a solo speed run Orbiter INSANE challenge!

Before we get into the nitty gritty intel for each competition, here are some general guidelines for each entry:

1. To keep things fair and share the love of ALIEN PRIZES with as many players as possible, no participants can earn first place in more than one category.
   
2. Only one submission is allowed per category for each participant.
   
3. Participants must be over 18 years old or have their parent’s permission to enter.
   
4. All entries must be submitted by Wednesday, May 15th at 4:00 PM PDT.

Now for the fun part – details on how to enter for each category!




For this challenge, you’ll have to grab an alien pal, start on fresh profiles, and clear the first mission’s HQ with as high of a score as possible! You can enter in the Normal or INSANE mode categories – just be sure that both players choose the same difficulty.

Rules:

1. Two players only.
   
2. Both players must have the same difficulty level chosen – Normal or INSANE.
   
3. Both players must at least make it to the HQ boss alive.
   
4. Players must post a VOD of their run on YouTube and send the link to games@thebehemoth.com. Videos must include the score screen at the end of the first mission.

Prizes:

Both players in the winning Normal difficulty team will receive an Alien Hominid Invasion embroidered hat and bandana! The INSANE difficulty winners will earn an Alien Hominid Invasion embroidered hat, throw blanket, and SIGNED YOUTOOZ figure!




Want to Show Off your skills? Make a short-form video to upload to Instagram, TikTok, or YouTube of your alien using the Show Off mutation while playing AHI!

Rules:

1. Video must be in portrait format and uploaded as a Reel, TikTok, or Short on any of the platforms listed above.
   
2. Video must not be over 30 seconds in length.
   
3. Video uploads must include the hashtag #AHIShowOff. Please tag us if tagging is enabled on the platform of your choice!
   
4. Players must use the Show Off mutation at least once in the video.
   
5. The most impressive Show Off wins!
   
6. Bonus points go to clips with new content added in the Juicy Variety update (info here).

Prizes:

One winner will receive an Alien Hominid Invasion embroidered hat and bandana!




Itching for MORE? Because our update includes a brand-new mutation, we wanted to make a specific category just to celebrate! The Orbiter mutation spawns a projectile that circles you, knocking enemies out of your path as you become a close-range DESTROYER! Using it a second time will create a temporary platform at its current location.

In this challenge, you will choose INSANE mode, equip the Orbiter mutation, start a mission at any level, and speedrun through that mission as quickly as possible. This category is a bit different—and maybe a little less fair—since invaders of all levels can participate as long as they meet the criteria! Who will come out on top? The level 298 invader, or a fresh invader who equips the Orbiter mutation as soon as possible?

Rules:

1. Solo player only.
   
2. The Orbiter mutation must be unlocked before your run, and equipped for the entire run.
   
3. INSANE difficulty must be chosen.
   
4. Players must complete an entire mission from the starting city block to clearing the mission’s HQ boss.
   
5. Players must post a VOD of their run on YouTube and send the link to games@thebehemoth.com. Videos must include the score screen at the end of the first mission.

Prizes:

The speediest alien will win an Alien Hominid Invasion embroidered hat, throw blanket, and SIGNED YOUTOOZ figure!

We hope you’ve all been enjoying the update so far, and we can’t wait to see your skills over the next two weeks! Good luck, and be sure to submit your entries by Wednesday, May 15th at 4:00 PM PDT.
