Post-Launch Owlboy update

Hello again everyone.

Owlboy has finally launched and now, five days in, we’re all trying to gather our thoughts on everything that’s happening.

When the embargo lifted on October 27th, we had no idea what to expect, but we were in complete shock when our first two reviews were both maximum scores; Destructoid giving us their Editor’s Choice Award, and Pressfire musing we might be one of the best Norwegian games ever made. It was surreal. A lot of us cried. In fact, I think all of us cried…

Then, came launch day. We had tested the game over and over, and sat around the computer ready to push the launch button on Steam. We did, but we had no idea if it worked. We had to install the game on one of our old, barely working office PCs to check, and had to wait for 15 agonizing minutes waiting for the game to finish installing. Once it did, we read out the version number out loud to make sure it matched up. …It did.

Owlboy was complete. After nearly nine years of work, we had reached the finish line. It was a long road and none of us had really felt how long it had been until that moment.

As we now try to pick ourselves up after letting Owlboy out into the world, watching streamers, let’s players and everyone on social media experience the game for the first time, we want to share some of the incredibly humbling reviews we’ve received over the past week:

Destructoid 10/10

Gamereactor NO 10/10 (Norwegian)

Pressfire 6/6 (Norwegian)

IGN 9.3/10

Gamespot 90/100

LevelUp 9/10 (Norwegian)

The Jimquisition 9/10

Gamereactor EU 9/10

IGN SE 9/10 (Swedish)

Over the next couple of weeks we’ll try our best to make sense of all the amazing things going on. Thank you all for your patience and your kind words. Seeing so many people enjoying our game makes this all more than worth it.

If you can, go play this game.

I just beat it and words cannot describe how awesome the whole experience was.

If you have a PC that isn’t 5+ years old, you should get this game.

My favorite game of 2016, so far, and I’m not even finished it.

Seriously, this game needs to be experienced.

so the juggle system in Street Fighter: The Movie: The Game appears to be “just do whatever you want, it all works”

@schindlerslisp omg… this shook me…

[schindlerslisp]

Is being really good at fighting games considered having your life together?

How the fuck do my bosses keep getting viruses?! I put Antivirus on there and he says he got randomewared when buying something on amazon (bullshit), and HE CALLED THE FUCKING NUMBER

[schindlerslisp]

Introduce him to ad-block, if you already haven’t. Still wont prevent him from clicking stupid shit though.

The view from this Moon is amazing.

[schindlerslisp]

Recent desolate planet I found. Didn’t find much of anything, but it looked pretty cool.

My new ship is also really cool.

What’s your opinion on the game?

[schindlerslisp]

I really like it. The planets look really good and the aesthetic is always solid from planet to planet.

You wander around and collect stuff and make money, The ways to make currency and progress is really open. The combat is pretty meh, but i still get pumped up when pirates attack me or when I’m on a really aggressive planet.

I would recommend it, if you like the idea of exploring really outlandish worlds, while meeting aliens and sometimes not meeting anyone at all for a couple of planets.

[long-ant8616-deactivated2023122]

Is it stable, frame-rate and crashing and all that?

[schindlerslisp]

Stable 30 for the most part, When you load planets in for the first time it slows down, but when you go back to those places the frame rate is stable. I haven’t had the game crash at all on me, even after 6 systems.
