The #Steam 'Couch Co-Op Fest' is starting! While we don't have a demo of 'Vikings on Trampolines' just yet - please check out what's in store in the future! 👇 More news soon! #steamcouchcoopfest #vikingsontrampolines #pixelart #gamedev #indiedev

Owlboy's 10 years old 🦉👴 Currently prepping our annual live-stream. Tune in on our Twitch Nov 1st ♥️

Accessibility features! We lack experience in this field, but it was surprisingly breezy to implement this high contrast mode using a couple of shaders and background fx. Any other settings we should consider adding before launch? 🤔 #indiedev #gamedev #madewithunity

We added a big ol' (!!!) warning signal to telegraph incoming enemy attacks. Are they a little too much tho? 😅‼️ #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart #retro

This is the 3rd stage of the Adventure Mode in Vikings On Trampolines - a calm voyage across the bay! Well, calm if you ignore the BALLOON ONSLAUGHT ofcourse🪓🎈 #vikingsontrampolines #pixelart #gamedev

Vikings need vacation too 🏖️

Still making Vikings on Trampolines backgrounds. This one was frankly pure indulgence on my part. We had usable assets for it, but I was feeling the summer this month. #pixelart #ドット絵 #gamedev

The Blimpolini arrives!

Making new enemy sprites for Vikings on Trampolines. The temp-sketch for the Blimpolini is a large balloon that acts as temporary platform, but its also mindlessly carrying a bomb, so you need to pop it before it blows up. I added a bit of a subtle fish-theme as well #pixelart #ドット絵 #gamedev

We had a great run while it lasted. We poured our soul into making the Owlboy Limited Edition for PlayStation truly special. Especially the 32 page instruction booklet, which we modeled after the ones we poured through as kids. Thanks for letting us chase our childhood dreams! ❤️

Mina the Hollower is out! I was going to just make a quick sprite, but I got a bit carried away and just ended up making a full on high-res mockup instead. Haven't even got around to playing the final release! Gotta fix that.

Vikings on Trampolines will be appearing at Bitsummit Punch from May 22nd - 24th! If you happen to be in Kyoto during this time, be sure to drop by our booths! You can check out all the games attending here: bitsummit.org/en/games/
