An uplifting adventure.



UPDATE: With the conclusion of PAX, the 20% pre-order discount for the game has been changed to 10%. D-Pad Studio also announced that Owlboy is scheduled to take off on November 1st!



<span class="bold">Owlboy</span>, a wonderful flight through old-school aesthetics and unique platforming mechanics, is now available for pre-order, DRM-free on GOG.com, with a 10% pre-order discount.

Otus doesn't say much but his spirit and determination speak volumes. Just as the beloved owlboy is coming of age, a surprise attack by sky pirates forces him to ride the winds of change and begin his turbulent journey across the aching land. To counter-balance his non-violent nature, Otus will enlist several of his less cordial friends, who are able to gun down the monsters that infest his beloved home. Apart from their unique abilities, the owlboy will share with them stories and companionship, as they flap together towards an open-world full of cavernous dungeons, dangerous ruins, and challenging bosses. Remember: carrying is caring!


Pre-order <span class="bold">Owlboy</span> and take to the pixel-perfect skies, DRM-free on GOG.com.
Pre-order bonus: the dreamy OST is free for the early owls, available to download right away both on mp3 and FLAC formats!
The 10% discount will last until the game's release on November 1st.

I'll admit I hadn't seen the Developer orange text feature before either, and I rather like it. I think it's good to highlight PR people from gaming companies alongside GOG's own admins because it helps emphasise important posts and encourages a sense of assurance in who you're talking to.

groze: If anyone's still interested and wants to try a very early version of the game, you can try the demo from here.
Can we haz the gamescom demo instead please...? Just until November... :)
Why is it still advertising the soundtrack when D-Pad clearly says it's a sample set?

Maybe they forgot editing the op.
Might be a good idea to tell them, otherwise some goglins might purchase because of the 'full' ost.

Hi everyone! I just wanted to let you know, for those who are pre-ordering our game on GOG, we'll unlock the entire soundtrack once the game launches :-) We're so thankful for all of you guy's interest in both our game and soundtrack. Our composer has spent almost 10 years perfecting the music for the game, and we can't wait for you to both hear and see what the game has to offer!

My entire team is now back in office, and we'll be keeping up with this thread everyday. If you have any questions about the game, the development, or just want to say hi, please let us know :-D

We're both nervous, and relieved that this game of ours is fiiiinally shaping up for release!

All the best

Hey that's pretty nice, thanks cool devs. Was your composer first hired for the movie boyhood? That's a long time to finish a soundtrack.

He didn't work on Boyhood, but he's currently working on some upcoming games - Hearth Forth Alicia being my favorite! *u*

That. Is. Amazing.

Thanks Jo, this one time GOG just got the best available deal ever.

I have pre-ordered Owlboy accordingly two minutes ago, but may still complete my bandcamp collection in that respect. :)

Any indication as to the length of the total OST...?

I believe the entire soundtrack will contain about ~50-60 songs, but I'll double check that with our composer :-) We even have a lot of unused tracks that we'll be showcasing at some point, and I think he wants to add those to the OST as well.

In a couple of weeks, I hope to add some music videos to our channel, to tease the coming tracks, a little like this one.

This is simply fantastic!

Argh, I don't think I'll be able to wait now (I usually wait, because I dislike pre-ordering stuff) =P

I've been waiting for Owlboy for about 7 or 8 years, but this final stretch seems harder. :P

I want it to be November 1st already, Owlboy is my most wanted game of 2016, so far!!!

[EDIT] It would be awesome if DPad made the Pax demo available for us to have something to play while we wait for the game to release, but I guess that would be too much to ask. :( The game looks so gorgeous, I can't wait to play it!

We've discussed making the demo available, but decided against it because we want to make sure that the game is properly polished. There are still some issues in the demo(a lot of which we actually discovered at PAX), and this last month of polish will make sure that the game lives up the level of quality you deserve.
