Owlboy is a bit of an oddity to me. It is the latest edition to an ever-growing line of retro platformers, a subgenre of games that really has had a surge in popularity in recent years.
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.
