Pre-Order Monster Boy Today!
Dear Monster Boy friends and fans,
this is a big moment for us. It's now possible to pre-order Monster Boy physical copies in various online shops!
It feels so awesome and a bit surreal.. Who of you thought this would never happen?
The game will release later This Summer, an exact date is to be announced at a later time. Please note that release dates in online-shops are just placeholders until we officially announced the definite date. Please note that the physical release is USA/Canada only but the game is code-free and we've seen various import shops offering the game for local purchase. Please ask your import dealer to secure a copy for you.
GAME PACKAGE INCLUDES
- Switch Cartridge or PS4 Blu-Ray disc
- Printed Manual (full color)
- Stickers
We expect that retail shops will order conservative amounts of packages, so Monster Boy might sell out rather quickly. The only way to receive a physical copy guaranteed, is to pre-order it. The minimum amount of orders from retail will be based on the pre-orders from players.

Merci pour le commentaire.
Comme Thomas l'indiquait dans sa réponse précédente, on est vraiment bien chargés pour la fin de production du jeu donc ça nous fait vraiment plaisir de lire vos encouragements en cette période
Monster Boy sera effectivement présent sur la Pax où les joueurs auront l'occasion de jouer avec les dernières animations de Jin en serpent et en cochon au minimum. On espère que ça vous plaira.
Pour la date de sortie précise, elle sera annoncée plus tard, on peut juste vous dire que le le jeu sortira bel et bien cet été.
Et surtout, merci d'avoir pré-commandé Monster Boy!

considering I'm sure it's being developed on a PC, I don't understand why the PC version wouldn't be released first.
FDG, Thomas on :
MENTD on :
which is most definitely what this is - it's a PC game you're porting to consoles. You're playing the PC version essentially every day as you build it. The PC really doesn't have the issues you're talking about anymore, most devs don't care about old HW
and if it doesn't work, they just tell people to buy a better card.
I'm sure you aren't making sure it will run on old hardware either.
Nevertheless, this is an old school style retro 2D platformer, it
certainly shouldn't require anything extraordinary to run.
Seems to me this is all just sales and marketing related, you
want to get the most money so you're taking advantage of
"console exclusive" marketing tactics, that kinda sucks for us
PC gamers, I hope it doesn't delay too long. I really don't care
about steam either, I'd prefer a GOG or DRM free release any
day and the achievements and online stuff are gimmicks to
me, all I want is a good Wonderboy sequel, which I'm sure
this will be - just really really sick of waiting. Hope it's soon!

If a user's installed and running programs and tools and
overclocking interfere with a game running, that's the user's
fault and responsibility to figure out what they have done which
is interfering with the game running. If someone has an
ill-configured system or is so overclocked it's just a hair away
from crashing, nothing you do is going to fix that.
I don't have any troubles running any games and if I do, it's
an issue that's so general everyone is having it and it's either
dealt with by workarounds in forums or bug fix updates.
(It's not an issue caused by having different setups.)
I just have never understood all this what I consider to be nonsense about stuff being so difficult to program for "all configurations". Programs usually don't deal with this
anyhow, the OS does. The OS is what handles how to talk to
all the different, OS friendly hardware, be it graphics cards or
whatever. I program too. I don't make games or anything near
the level of Monster Boy but I do understand how things work.
I know that consoles have only one set of hardware so yes,
if it works then it's almost guaranteed to work on every console
and by that, it is easier to weed out issues but it is really not that difficult to make a PC game work anymore as long as the user
has a standard setup and isn't doing things they shouldn't be
doing in the first place like running other programs in the background, overclocking or other things that obviously they
should just turn off before claiming something "doesn't work".
I still say you're making more money and have bigger contracts
with NINTENDO and SONY and that is why us PC gamers have to wait.
FDG, Thomas on :
as with all questions and comments I'll keep trying to respond properly to give insight to development process, timings etc. I'm not expecting everyone to believe what I'm saying so that's fine but I'm not stretching a discussion because I don't have the time for that.
This response is to a new comment about our priorities. Yes, the priorities are business decisions - never said anything different btw. Switch is most important and the first version we'll finish. Then PS4, then Xbox One. An indie team can only handle that many at the same time. Unfortunately there's no magic 'finish for PC/Steam release button' afterwards. If that would exist we'd do that.

Though I've been lurking just reading all the posts, hanging back it's been a joy to see this project grow. There's a passion behind this game. Unlike "Zelda BOTW, Sea of Thieves ect.." which are blockbusters with huge production; Monster Boy I believe will be worth playing just as much.
Being the first to comment on the blog back in March of 2015 it's great to see this project coming to life. The results are far greater than expected, props to the FDG team.
This truly brings me back to my childhood, September 25th I'll get on the nostalgic train. I hope the marketing goes well and the sales even better.
FDG, Thomas on :
indeed! It's crazy to think how much has changed since the Kickstarter campaign. Thank you for the kind words and checking out the blog from time to time! cheers

However, for such case, I was kinda glad it is not on a PC (day one) with the other system; and that is for one thing only. If I really want to see this game to have a sequel and see such studio survive, they need to have a good revenue. they need the people to buy these games.
As for PC, its well know then this can be cracked in Day 0. which mean people might go for a PC to bypass paying for it.
Well, true, I might not know how much that portion of loss might be out of all these systems. but at least leave it for a couple of weeks/months before releasing on a PC. at least most revenue is at the launch of the game release.
See FFXV PC Version, for example, Cracked before the release day.
I am not into PC gaming like you, and I do feel sorry that PC gamer might need to wait for this release.
Olivier VALLEE on :
What about in France please ?
On the PS Store soon please ?
Thks
FDG, Thomas on :
the game will release in digital form worldwide and at the same time so yes, it will also arrive on the PS Store in France. Thank you for your interest!

En attendant le prochain post j'aimerais partager avec vous un petit truc sympa.
Le 24 août dernier FDG à posté une vidéo de BanjoGuyOllie, à 29:38 on peu apercevoir une cinématique d'intro interprétée par Haruka Shimotsuki. Un collègue qui parle japonais m'à gentiment traduit la chanson.
Qu’y a-t-il derrière cet horizon lointain
Dans ce monde immense, je suis emplie de rêves
Je ne me soucie pas de mes limites
Car abandonner ne ferait pas de moi un adulte
Etoile, réveille-toi !
Si on y croit fort, on finit par y arriver
Et même si ce grand mur paraît insurmontable,
Ce n’est peut-être pas si difficile de le briser
Avec un futur plein de couleurs
Je t’attends
En y croyant avec tout son cœur,
On finira par trouver la lumière
For those who do not speak French
DeepL translation
What's behind this distant horizon
In this immense world, I am filled with dreams.
I don't care about my limitations.
Because giving up wouldn't make me an adult.
Star, wake up!
If you believe strongly, you end up doing it.
And even if this big wall seems insurmountable,
Maybe it's not so hard to break it.
With a future full of colors
I'm waiting for you
Believing it with all his heart,
Eventually we'll find the light
Spidey981 on :
FDG confirmed on Twitter that the intro cinematic will be a whole new one compared to the one we can see in the video of BanjoGuyOllie

I really don't understand the decision. If it was about taxes in Europe I'm sure people would still bought it if it was more expensive. Here there is no choice. Europe is still a very big market.
Now it's just frustrating because we've to pay more (on transport and customs) Plus we'll probably have to wait weeks before getting the game. We'll start playing when others will already have finished it and moved on...

well, hope to see it on the next Nintendo Show / or any other shows.

I was about to complain I was dissapointed to not see PC. But then I realized it was only physical. Can imagine other people are also confused.
