We spent ridiculous amounts of time on certain areas of Owlboy. This is the entrance to the 3rd Dungeon. Getting the atmosphere just right took weeks - knowing most players would swoop by in less than 2 seconds. #perfectionism 😅

While in Vegas, we got to try the Switch out for the first time - a month before launch. It was such a weird console to play on - we had no idea if it was gonna take off or not.

Owlboy got nominated to a handful of awards back in the day - but our fave event was #DICE2017. Why? Cuz we totally got to drive Gokarts in Las Vegas! 🏎️

Native res is 640x360 - which scales beautifully to full HD, 4K or even 8K. But anything in-between that was difficult, so we ended up doing letterboxing when odd screen ratios are detected.

In Owlboy you can carry friends into battle. If you're looking for firepower - bring Alphonse! 💥 His attacks needs to recharge, but he'll use a handy lighter while waiting 🔥

We're surprised by a sudden surge in Owlboy popularity on the eShop this week! Are other devs seeing the same results on Nintendo these days? ⭐️

Throughout your journey you'll meet Boguins, a penguin looking creature.

They LOVE to talk (too much) and will happily dole out gameplay advice - or just advice in general! 🍕🍔🍎🍒

Here's a little info on the game ⭐ bsky.app/profile/dpad...

In Owlboy, you play as Otus on a quest to save your home from a sky-pirate invasion. You can fly, pick up friends and use their abilities in puzzle solving & combat. Don't let the cute pixel-art fool you, the game's got some seriously emotional scenes.

For the past month, the team ( @dpad.studio ) and I have been crunching to take care of a sudden deadline for a new, unannounced project. Today, we finally finished phase one! With that, we're going to be taking a short vacation for once. Its a long road ahead, but for now, a teaser.
