Atomic Owl combines fast-paced platforming through a Neo-Japanese-inspired world with dynamic hack-and-slash combat and a variety of weapons, powerups, and a demonic blade. Journey through eight roguelite zones, save the Bladewing troupe, and take up chatty arms against the evil Crow Sorcerer, Omega Wing!
Hidalgo Bladewing, the returned prince of Judanest, and his companions return to their favorite ramen spot following a perilous mission against the mysterious Pumpkin Knight (a manga exclusive character!), only to be confronted by the vengeful void crow, Omega Wing -- who recently acquired the power of Meza using the Dark Feather.
After a defeat at the hands of his possessed troupe and Omega Wing, Hidalgo is defeated and robbed of his Holographia powers. Two years pass, and Hidalgo is enchained on the tree of Judanest. He is set free and must rescue his fallen companions from the clutches of this ruthless old foe—with the help of a chaotic, brash-talking sword.

00:00 I'm Altair Basic.
00:15 I got my start in games about five years ago working on Borderlands 3.
00:18 Fast forward three years after that, I opened up Monster Theater, an independent game studio
00:23 that's honing in on that single player experience of Hollow Knight and Dead Cells and just,
00:29 those crispy single player experiences, we're trying to hit that.
00:35 Basically you have your gang of heroes, but what if those heroes became the villains?
00:39 And it's just you and a chaotic talking sword.
00:42 Our combat structure is meant to keep the player engaged at every turn.
00:46 We're following a light roguelike structure where there are three acts per zone, and if
00:51 you fail at the end of a third act in a zone, let's say, you go all the way back to the
00:54 beginning of the first act, which I just realized is basically a roguelike Sonic the Hedgehog.
00:59 I literally just, that just hit me.
01:02 Anyway, the next time you run that zone, you'll be at a higher blade wing level, and that
01:06 should be able to get you through unless you encounter a certain creature, but more on
01:11 that leading up to release.
01:13 The talking mezzameta sword that accompanies Hidalgo can transform into a variety of different
01:17 attunements.
01:18 A whip to unleash Hidalgo's inner vampire hunter, a pummeling hammer, a wicked broadsword,
01:23 a throwable scythe, and we've reintroduced wing remnants, which are basically power ups
01:28 to enemies drop, the void crow form, and the not yet revealed publicly, spark falcon, but
01:35 more on that soon.
01:37 Atomic Owl takes a lot of inspiration from indie games of the aughts.
01:41 We were heavily inspired by Shovel Knight and Celeste backgrounds, so we wanted to make
01:45 ours as dynamic and as interesting as possible.
01:48 In Cyberpunk 2077, the inhabitants are brood warriors.
01:59 When Elder came to me with his vision of the music for the game, it was something that
02:06 I completely wanted to do, and something that I was already quite well versed in doing synthwave
02:13 music, so I think it was a nice combination to get that kind of video game sound of the
02:19 80s and 90s, mainly the 90s, with the synthwave sound and kind of bring them together to make
02:24 something pretty cool.
02:26 I want to thank Premium Edition for taking the time and reaching out to us and being
02:32 such an amazing partner to work with on our physical editions, which right now are PS5
02:37 and Nintendo Switch.
02:39 I also want to credit Morpheus Records for helping us distribute our awesome looking
02:42 vinyl, and Neon Demon for really putting together such incredible artwork for that limited edition
02:50 vinyl as well.
02:51 We want to make sure our imprint on the environment is as minimal as possible, and so to do that,
02:58 we've partnered with Midgard.
03:00 With Midgard's help, we've been able to see exactly how much CO2 we've emitted and get
03:04 a breakdown of our scope to emissions.
03:07 If you head over right now to midgard.earth/atomicowl, you can see all of that broken down.
03:13 But that's all I have.
03:17 Once again, thank you so much for being here.
03:20 Your support means everything, and with your help, we're going to get Atomic Owl out early
03:25 next year.
