Owlboy Announcement Trailer:

dreams really do come true

[Jo-Remi]

Now that we've sent out previews of Owlboy, we've noticed one thing that keep happening. The players don't know what to categorize Owlboy's pixel art as, often calling it 16-bit, which is ofcourse wrong. There are very few games released today that actually ARE 16-bit.

We decided to come up with a name that could define Owlboy's art (and any newer pixel art games for that matter) - and started calling it Hi-Bit.

I've writting a lil more about it on our blog - http://dpadstudio.com/Blog/postHibit.html (and made a list of games to check out for examples).

I just read your interview in VICE;

It was quite touching, here's hoping I get to play the game next week.

And the VICE article says ten years even tough it mentions they started working on 2007; 9 years ago... I guess 10 is more clickbaity or something...

Godspeed you lovely folks! In some ways I will be sad at release when one of these long awaited gorgeous games has stopped being this ethereal promise of glory. There's a kind of a warm safe buzzy sensation in the knowledge that someone somewhere is working on something great for the future. I guess thanks for being such a fixture for so long just truckin' along and can't wait to play your game. Just a couple of days more to go!

Don't worry kinnas, Iconoclasts is still in development

[kinnas]

I literally had a "eh at least Konjak is still working on Iconoclasts" as the last sentence in my post but I figured I'd keep it focused on Owlboy at the last second

Huge congrats! So many people talking about Owlboy - warms my heart.

[jmas]

When Arby's tweets about your game and PINS it, I think you win. Anyways, congratulations on the release!!

Is Arby's taking tips from the guy running the official Sonic channel? This is cool and all but feels a bit surreal or something.

Possibly

[JobLeonard]

Looks like a coordinated marketing campaign. The similarity in photography style is too strong to be a coincidence.

[jmas]

I'm pretty sure that Sonic was mimicking Arby's style to poke fun at them.
