dev update

we planned to release the Monster Boy Demo in April but we missed it, sorry!
It’s coming soon but we think it’s also worth the wait. We unlocked the Framerate and we’re close to have it working nicely. The whole team is hard at work to deliver the best possible experience.

Some explanations about this menu:

  • You can freely choose the resolution, also ultrawide+
  • Framerate is unlocked unless you activate Framerate Limiter or/and VSYNC
  • Screen Shakes: Avoids any camera shaking for players who're sensitive to that
  • Texture Quality: You can drop the texture quality to run the game stable with ~1GB VRAM (e.g. on intel GPU Laptops). You'll be able to test it with the upcoming demo.
  • Reduce Flashing light: Full screen white flashes are eliminated to reduce the risk of epilepsy for players who're sensitive.
  • Ultrawide Border Design: We designed very neat dynamic borders that'll fill any ultrawide screen if the level isn't wide enough (e.g. narrow passages or boss rooms). You can choose between 2 interactive designs or simple black borders (3 options total).

As a response to your feedback in Developer Update #3: We’ll include Xbox One, PS4 and NSW Pro Controller symbols in the game. We're testing the game with Xbox 360, Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and Steam Controller. When the demo is out, please test with your own controller and let us know if it works properly for you.

I played this on Switch, it's a very good game. So good in fact that I nominated it for the PC GOTY thread on ERA and got away with it. :wd_dealwithit:

Quick test:

  • Everything looks and feels good
  • Proper Steam Input support, meaning you get DS4/Xbox/SC icons depending on the controller you're using. I swapped between the DS4 and SC and it recognized it on the fly. The Steam Controller rumble is a nice touch.
  • Maybe the first (Steam Input) game with proper DS4 Lightbar support? My lightbar just flashed red while I was down to one health. Very cool.

How this game related to Wonder Boy: The Dragon's Trap and which is considered better? :steam_pig_scowling:
 
KainXVIII Dragon's Trap is remake of 3rd game in Wonder Boy series .... Monster Boy is spiritual successor to the Monster World/Wonder Boy series (see how it combines its jp and us names), but not officially part of the IP (sega owns it) but some of the original creators are involved


lineage by Retronauts Episode 72: Wonder Boy Vs. Adventure Island
