Sure the game has been out since September of last year, but that doesn’t mean we still can’t enjoy a behind the scenes look at Castle Crashers! This 19 minute long video shows the entire process Dan Paladin went through making the Undead Cyclops boss. The video is also speed up 650 percent, which should give you a rough idea on just how long it took to make the Cyclops boss, from concept to animation.

To be honest, I had no idea it could be this complicated. It’s really amazing to see the amount of attention and detail Dan put into just this one boss.

Impressive that this game looked entirely hand drawn.. Lot's of games these days cannot boast such an accomplishment. I love their games, I've been a Newgrounds fan since the late 90's and I always buy their games. I like supporting artists that actually work on the art they produce. And apparently Dan Paladin is very talented and well deserving of community praise.
Three cheers for Dan Paladin.

@GuitarAtomik: Flash CS3. That's what the interface looks like, anyways.
