Alien Hominid Invasion

Your Mothership Has a Gift for You šŸŽ
Have you ever had one of those days?

Where all the little things just donā€™t go right? Like how sometimes, you wake up and youā€™re shipwrecked on an island overrun with cats. Or you wake up to check your crops, and your blueberry farm is at the mercy of a Bear Blood storm. Or you wake up, and your gem sword is now a broccoli stalk.

Sometimes you wake up and find that your Mothership has left without you on board because you slept through your twenty-eight Alarm Digestors and missed the demo that was available during Steamā€™s Next Fest back in June.

We woke up the other day and found out that all of you made Alien Hominid Invasion the 30th most played demo during Steamā€™s Next Fest: June 2023 Edition! While we took a moment to bask in the glory and raise a sandwich in toast to not waking up with Furbottomā€™s hat on our heads, we realized that there are literally dozens of you Alien Hominid Invasion fans out there and maybeā€“just maybeā€“not all of you had the chance to play the demo during its Next Fest fame, so-

Surprise! Itā€™s Chickmas in July, and The Behemoth has decided everyone made the ā€œNot Jerkimedesā€ list and we are RE-RELEASING THE DEMO for a limited time! Thank you for being the reason We Make Games, and for all the wonderful feedback already received from players during the initial Next Fest period.

Please enjoy the demo with our sincerest gratitude and appreciation for playing the things we put out in the universe, because we couldnā€™t do it without you. You, specifically, reading this. Yes, you.


Remember, your Mothership loves you. ā¤ļø

Alien Hominid Invasion Demo Mothership Data Report
Greetings, invaders! Next Fest has come and gone, meaning itā€™s time to share some top-secret intel about the Mothership Data you all gathered for us last week. Weā€™d like to thank each of you for helping us with the Invasion by sharing your thoughts and silly gameplay moments ā€“ we value your time and input more than you know!

Now, what youā€™ve all been waiting for. Drumroll, pleaseā€¦


To explain the intel in a little more detail:



The keyboard warriors win again! But wait, didnā€™t the Mothership suggest using a controller at the start? Since the demo was on Steam only, I suppose this makes sense in the grand scheme of things.

As for the most challenging foe, it seems the Hunters gave our invaders the most trouble, dealing 7% of all incoming damage toward all aliens. Donā€™t worry, your time for revenge will come. Surely.

Alien mission failure rate was pretty high at 71.9%, with most invaders losing on the third city block. I wonder what types of enemies you all were encountering thenā€¦

Invader kill to death ratio was at 44.8%, with over 6 million invader kills and 135,613 deaths. Great job to all our valiant alien friends for fighting the good fight!

For favorite cosmetics, it was no surprise to see one of our epic Vtuber heads as one of your most chosen items. Sarah has really started a trend here, eh? Honorable mention to the giraffe-like head, and the most popular weapons of course ā€“ Energy Knife, Dual Lasers, and the Combustor (what stylish weapons you all chose)!

Total invader playtime was at 21,274 hours ā€“ you all spent 2.4 years in a span of a week invading Earth! The Mothership is truly proud.

Once again, thanks to all the earthlings who took the time to try our game and share your thoughts about it! We couldnā€™t do it without you. Now that itā€™s all said and done, weā€™ll keep reviewing our Mothership Data and use it wisely to polish up the game. See you next time~

Devs Speedrun Demo šŸ›ø
To celebrate Next Fest and sharing the demo with all you earthlings, we're hosting a STREAM! Or two.. or three.. okay, only two. Anyways, our second stream will go live on Wednesday, June 19 at 3PM PT, humans!

Join us for a DEV DEMO SPEEDRUN CHALLENGE. Yes, you heard that right -- during the broadcast, our three alien Vtuber hosts will all be taking turns going through the demo solo AS FAST AS THEY CAN. Hilarious speedrunning commentary included, probably.

See you then!

Aliens Invading Next Fest šŸ‘½

Alien Hominid Invasion Next Fest Stream
To celebrate Next Fest and sharing the demo with all you earthlings, we're hosting a STREAM! Or two.. or three.. okay, only two. Anyways, see you on Monday, June 19 at 2PM PT, humans!

We'll put more details about the stream here soon.

Alien Hominid Invasion Demo Landing in 3... 2.. 1!
Earthlings, I have exciting news from the Mothership ā€“ an Alien Hominid Invasion demo will be available during the Steam Next Fest from June 19-26!

We know youā€™ve been patiently (and excitedly) waiting for the Invasion, so we thought this could be a great opportunity to let you experience some Alien gameplay before the gameā€™s release later this year.

Friendly, Normal, INSANE, whichever difficulty you prefer, weā€™ve got it! Even better, the demo has online and local 2-player co-op functionality, and both players can choose their desired insanity difficulty. So grab an alien pal (or human pal if you really have to), choose INSANE difficulty while your fellow invader picks Friendly or Normal, carry them through waves of enemy Agents and deadly (but kind of cute?) hazards, AND PROFIT.

Really though, pick whichever difficulty suits you. I canā€™t even dodge the enemy, so Friendly it is.

Throughout the event, weā€™ll be streaming on Steam (steaming?), hanging out in Discord, and hosting a couple of competitions you can enter to win some Alien merch. More details on that can be found on our blog next week!

As always, weā€™re stoked for you to get your hands on the demo and hear your thoughts. If you have any questions or feedback throughout the event, you can reach us at games@thebehemoth.com or on Discord. We hope you enjoy your byte-sized piece of the Invasion!

Dear chicken followers, fellow aliens, humans, and everyone who isnā€™t an agent,

This chicken has some exciting news to share with you all: weā€™ll be going live this Friday with our first dev stream of the year! Join us as we introduce our community managers on stream, discuss everything thatā€™s been added to Alien Hominid Invasion since August, and of course, invade Earth.

What has been added in that time, do you ask? Well, weā€™ve got flashy new charge shots for multiple weapons, new hazards and checkpoint levels, a redesign for the HUD, and more that will make your 2023 Earth invasion chaotically enjoyable.

After gaming for a bit, weā€™ll be holding a short Q&A about AHI with THE ONE AND ONLY DAN PALADIN! Shoot us some questions on social media this week, and they may be answered on stream.

Last but not least, weā€™ll be debuting two new Vtuber models for Amanda and Sarah (the community managers mentioned earlier heheh)! Who doesnā€™t love watching cute alien Vtubers play a game where tons of aliens fall from the sky and invade your local neighborhood?

Join us this Friday, January 27, at 2pm PST/5pm EST/10pm GMT on our Twitch or YouTube channels to join in the chaos.

Alien Hominid Invasion Coming in 2023
Yes, you read that one correctly! The aliens have been diligently spending the year preparing for the invasion, and they are alllllmost ready to land here on Earth. We are so excited to announce that our fifth game, Alien Hominid Invasion, is on track to release in 2023!

As the year comes to an end, our team is working hard to create exciting, memorable bosses that players can look forward to battling throughout the invasion. We canā€™t wait for you to test your skills!!

But what about everything else weā€™ve added to the game this year? Here are some quick highlights:

Difficulty options - We added Permakeep and Permadeath options, adding another layer of difficulty for players! Also, difficulty level (Friendly, Normal, and INSANE!) can now be changed within each save file and player profile, so that everyone can have the perfect amount of challenge. Adjust this as you wish, so the game is not too hard, not too soft, but juuuuuust right.

New enemies and challenges - Along with checkpoint levels and shiny new (and sometimes spiky) hazards, we added new enemies like the Bounder, Inchworms, and Big Crabs to sprinkle a little variety into your invasion and keep the chaos rolling!

HUD redesign - The HUD has been completely overhauled since the beta, with the danger meter now visible on the bottom of the screen. Player details such as health and mutation level now follow the player and take up less space on the screen, leaving more room for extraterrestrial chaos!

Delightful interactions - The Mothership now knits you back to life after you fail a level. Cute, right? In true mom fashion, sheā€™ll also send some passive-aggressive texts if you donā€™t upload your gathered intel fast enough. Best not to upset mom!

Aaaand thatā€™s about it for our quick 2022 developer recap. Weā€™re excited to see what 2023 (and the invasion!) has in store. Still searching for more intel? Check out our newly improved AHI website here, and stay tuned for our next dev stream coming early 2023!
