Alien Hominid developer withdraws from Slamdance

Just in case you haven't been refreshing our Slamdance updates, here's the latest (and maybe last?) salvo. The Behemoth, developers of the hand-drawn 2d GameCube and PS2 hit Alien Hominid, have withdrawn their forthcoming XBLA title Castle Crashers from the Slamdance Guerilla Games Competition. You can read their short statement about the decision on the game website. Although they don't list the reasons for their withdrawal, from what they tell me yesterday's DigiPen incident was just the straw that broke the camel's back.
