STRATEGIC INSANITY - Pit People (Steam): Part 4 - Livestream
6If the world insists on being so insane at the moment, I'd at least like for it to be the kind of insanity that I enjoy. And that kind of insanity involves sentient cupcakes flinging their frosting at women wielding giant lollipops.
(Sorry about the short length-- we had a nationwide internet outage that killed the stream!)

Pit People is an action role-playing strategy video game by indie game developer The Behemoth. An early access version for Windows and Xbox One was released in January 2017.
The Behemoth, founded in 2003 and based in San Diego, California, is known for making games with offbeat humor and a signature cartoon art style. The success of their prior games—Alien Hominid, Castle Crashers, and BattleBlock Theater—established their reputation as an indie game developer. The company began work on Pit People as their third game, BattleBlock Theater, approached its April 2013 release. The new game was designed to continue its predecessor's story, and both prominently feature a "space bear". The new project's codename was "Game 4": the studio's fourth game. "Pit People" was the title that accompanied the original arena-centered concept proposal. They set out to make a team-based game, but it developed its strategy gameplay over time—the grid-based combat was raised several months into development. This was a new genre for the company, which had established itself with action games. By 2014, the game had become a "fast-paced, turn-based, co-op adventure with management and role-playing game elements" in development for Xbox One and Steam. While the genre was new for the developer, the game retained their signature style. The team teased its reveal in August 2014, when it debuted as a playable demo at the PAX Prime exposition. They released its first trailer a year later, and ran a private beta test in September 2016. Pit People's release date is not set, but Steam Early Access and Xbox One Game Preview program versions were launched on January 13, 2017.
In an early 2015 preview, Polygon wrote that the game's control scheme appeared to balance accessibility for newcomers and tactical options for veterans. They added that it was the funniest title at the PAX East expo. PC Gamer noted the game's zaniness and the enjoyment of playing it. GameSpot described its gameplay and style as "chaotic" and "unabashedly lowbrow", in light of an objective based on destroying fecal matter.
