Owlboy is a 2D platforming action-adventure game that has been in development at D-Pad Studio since 2007. While a ton has changed within the video game industry since its inception, Owlboy proves itself as a gorgeous adventure through a charming world and smartly designed gameplay that never outstays its welcome and consistently introduces new ways of progressing.
The Humble Award Winners Bundle is out now. It features Owlboy, Yoku’s Island Express, Yuppie Psycho, Quadrilateral Cowboy, and more. As usual, you pay what you want and a percentage goes to charity.
A number of new deals are up and running on the North American Switch eShop. These include games from Capcom, 20XX, Goat Simulator: The GOATY, Owlboy, and more.
What does a decade’s worth of work look like? You can start and finish almost any form of education; establish a career; raise a child; build a thriving business. For many, a decade of work could represent a house, a page on a resume, the title on a business card, or something less tangible — a feeling, even.
For some in the video games industry, though, a decade might produce a single product. Ten years of late nights, dashed-off ideas, and half-functional prototypes for a bundle of living, breathing code.
That shocking expression on owlboys face never gets old, its a very charming game with great pixel art and it was created by just one person, the guy should be proud of what he has accomplished, will be looking forward to more of his future work.
