Agree with this. Make the Dragon thinker in the new design but keep the horns.

Our big and muscular transformation is the Lion. The dragon can fly and needed a bit less weight to work with the gameplay passages we prepared. Remember that in Monster Boy you can transform on the fly anytime.
Thank you very much! <3
Actually I set up the steam page like 2 years ago with some old graphics but never published it. Thank god! ^_^ The project had tons of changes, graphical updates and improvements since then.
Thank you! New material: When we're closer to a completed beta version. It's not only the raw animation, it will be combined with some tech for lighting (e.g. RIM lighting, color reflection, white eyes visible in the dark etc) so we get a cohesive, beautiful image quality. The final result will be very unique and we want to show new material when we implemented all features.
Yes HD rumble will be supported.
Unfortunately zero chance because it means lots of additional work - we need to focus on finishing the main game.
We skipped Paris Games Week for that reason - no time for a new public demo.
Thanks a lot! We're very happy with our first internal results. It's a magical image and plays beautifully. Very responsive controls, lots of different locations. <3

Thomas Kern Any chance you could put one up soon? I make threads highlighting upcoming releases on Steam and PC, and generally link to Steam pages by showing their banners, and I'd like to add this agme to the list.
Somewhat trivial question: Is this game gonna contain a number of throwbacks to the previous entries? I've already spotted
from public gameplay videos, among many things.
Anyway, I'll keep my fingers crossed for all of you. Good luck.

Monster Boy is a brand new game. It's still in development, so no, it wasn't an arcade game.
The first Wonder Boy was an arcade game.
Sounds great! Will you adapt different HUD icon sizes for portable mode on Switch? I noticed that in the Switch version Dragon's Trap, the HUD areas resize 1:1 to the gameplay area. As a comparison, the Switch version of Steamworld Dig 2 use a slightly (a few percent) larger HUD in portable mode, which IMO gives a better and "true" portable experience. A portable game is played under all kinds of varied light conditions, so I think things like a more clear HUD compared to docked mode helps.
Thank's for Dragon's Trap (the live recorded soundtrack in that game is fantastic) and the work on this new game! I'll get the Switch version day 1.
The Steam page will be newly set up with updated material and trailer which means it won't happen very soon. First the game needs to be in the required final visual state to record it. Also please keep in mind that Monster Boy releases on consoles first, Steam later. We just can't finish the game for all platforms at once as our manpower is limited.
Thank you! Yes, you can expect a lot of fan service in this game. :)
Thanks a lot! <3
There's no easy answer to that as the Wonder Boy series has many games for arcade and home console. Monster Boy is a new name but based on the Wonder Boy in Monster World home console series of games. Note that the title mixes Wonder Boy and Monster World, hence Monster Boy. Expect a colorful interconnected open world with many places to explore. I would say it's a sequel to the two Mega Drive 'Monster World' games, but more dynamic and faster paced including several quality of life improvements that are expected in modern games.
First of all, thanks for sharing your excitement about this game and Dragon's Trap! However, please note that the Dragon's Trap remake was created by our friends at Lizardcube and not from FDG/Game Atelier. We only work on the Monster Boy game currently. Thanks for your suggestions about the HUD. We recently redesigned it and it should work fine for both modes, but we slightly scale some texts where needed. cheers!
Oh nice! Is it the same original team unrelated to The Dragon's Trap?
EDIT: Answered just above lol
Small development updates from the development blog:
.
So the game's almost done! Final development phase, the finishing touches, and then the game's being released. Thomas did say there'd be an announcement this Winter regarding the release date, so sounds as though the game is coming very soon.
Still excited for this, as a longtime Wonderboy fan from the Master System days. Believe all their work is going to pay off and the game will be fantastic.

Fantastic, cannot wait. Just have to decide what platform I get this for.
this is great, can't believe it's already been 4 years!
Ace work
How we looking on getting that physical copy for switch ? Landed 13,000 likes in Twitter didn't it
Same here, after playing Dragon's Trap I'm looking forward.
Never played the original monster boy games back in the days (only the adventure island series)
Thank you! Please keep your fingers crossed for a physical release - the Twitter likes certainly help ;)
Seeing Monster Boy on the Switch screen feels incredible. It looks really good on it. <3
The Dragon's Trap remake team isn't involved in it but Monster Boy uses one development tool written by Omar who's the programmer and director of the DT remake.
Haha ok ... I'm pretty sure if some of the shovel wear can hit physical, a great game like you're one can manage easily ;)
II really want to kniw what's up with that fox dressed like Strider back there. Is he like the Batman of this village?
Super excited to play this on Switch.
Switch is going to have a great year when it comes to 2D platformers and 2D action games. Stuff like Monster Boy, Hollow Knight, Celeste, Dandara, Owlboy, Tropical Freeze, Kirby, and a ton more I'm sure . Can't wait.

How does it feel compared to the rest of the Monster World games, including the WBIII remake?
The way the art and the characters have evolved over the years has been amazing. The main character looks so cool now.
I love the latest art style, it feels like the hand drawn art from the classic WB instruction manuals and promo pics come to life!
And in anticipation of Monster Boy I'm playing my original copy of Dynastic Hero on my s-video modded Turbo Duo:
