Heading off to GDC

18.3.2009 By Simon

 

Hello again everyone.

 

As you may remember from when the new site went live, we promised we would be present at IGF this year, and we have steadily been working on making that happen. We weren't able to get the whole team there, but we'll definitely be present. I've managed to arrange a trip and I'm heading over to San Francisco on Friday to spread the D-Padness to the world.

 

So if you're in the area between the 23rd and 27th, I'll be the guy walking around in a D-Pad\Owlboy shirt, doing my thing. Right now we're trying to get everything prepared. If things go according to plan, I'll have a live demo with me for anyone that's interested in having a peek at Owlboy in motion.

 

Additionally, I've prepared pamphlets for anyone that's interested in some info and a little eyecandy. These things probably won't last that long though, so it's first come first serve.

 

There's actually been put a lot of work into making these suckers. The cover art is really a fullsized poster that doubles as a possible boxart. Also, Owlboy now has a proper logo. People seem to have grown fond of the tentive name, so we're considering keeping it. I suppose promoting it as such at the convention is pretty much going to seal the deal on that one. Each piece has been lovingly (or rather, forcefully) folded by hand, so you're getting quality stuff here!

 

They turned out pretty nicely if I do say so myself:

 

 

 

I'll be updating the site as regularly as I can. I'll also report back any interesting activities or games being desplayed on the Expo floor for anyone interested in hearing about it. For now, wish me luck and I'll see you guys there.

Oh wow! That cover is absolutely gorgeous. Any plans for releasing it as a wallpaper? :)

The logo looks nice as well.

Maybe sometime later. It's dimentions doesn't fill a screen that well, so I will either have to edit it, or make another wallpaper altogether.

I'll keep it in mind though. Just have a lot to cover right now.

ffff, I wish I could get one of those. They just look so slick and -classy-!

This game gives me a feeling of nostalgia that I haven't felt in a long while towards videogames. Please do give us as much as you can to satiate us while we wait for the game. Also, random Q: Did Snake do all the graphics for the whole game? I see there is a 5man team, but I was wondering on what level each person contributes to owlboy specifically.

Thanks in advance!
