Castle Crashers Devblog Dojo UPDATE!: Animal Orbs
water lymon 15 comments




Yesterday, The Behemoth revealed that along with their Weapons and their Characters, there will be unlockable 'animal orbs', which they say will:

Animal Orbs provide various bonuses and enhancements. Once found, these helpers will float next to the player and automatically provide a bonus. The list below will slowly unlock as we get closer to launch, but not all orbs will be unveiled on this site. We currently have a total of 23 animal orbs in the game.


So with that, say hello to Owlet!


Though they previously had a rule that they don't like to name things in the game, they made an exception for Owlet. As the image says, Owlet will go around and pick up food for the playing, becoming very useful in heavy combat.

Although it wasn't released in the same update, I found these 3 videos, two showing off Dan Paladin creating the Marsh Land & The World Map within the game, and another showing Andre Mercier of The Behemoth constructing a 3D model of the Red Knight over 2.5 hours. (Though the video is only 13min.)
