D-Pad Studio's first game on PC is a labour of love spanning almost a decade of development. But does Owlboy provide the polish and playability that such an epic span of time can provide? Or does it reach Duke Nukem Forever levels of disappointment? The Digital Fix straps on its owl cloak and soars up to Vellie to investigate.
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.
