The game doesn't consider itself furry or whatever, at all, and it certainly shouldn't be something that's stopping you from playing this great game.

It's just a specific artstyle. It looks gorgeous in motion/ingame.

The two main characters (Player character and the flying.. thing.) are very charming and interesting as well. Actually, most of the characters in the game are charming and interesting.

Kazuma Kiryu · Mar 23, 2013

as most stuff on steam (small downloadable games), will buy when it's 5 or something close.

Mugy · Mar 23, 2013

Super T.I.M.E. Force should be next.

GHG · Mar 23, 2013

Day fucking one. Been waiting for this for a while.

Shadow Hog · Mar 23, 2013

Didn't buy on XBLA, but didn't really have a reason for it. Will probably buy PC port.

Art, design, and programming was all by one guy. Voice acting and music was done by others, and the story had some help too.

So the credits were a little longer than one person, but this was still Dean Dodrill's game.

That's just amazing...

If you start your first go on hard and try to do and find everything before finishing up the final area you can easily get 15+ hours out of dust, give or take depending on how you play.

If this is also the same price point as it was on xbl, deal of the year.

As for furry, if you removed dust's tail and turned fidget into a bog standard fairy or a ball of light everything else outside of some village npc's is what you get in other games, guy in long coat slicing up demons and monsters.

Also seeing this game in full motion puts games like street fighter HD remix and the new ducktails to shame in art quality.

Cronen · Mar 23, 2013

Have been meaning to pick this up for a while, will grab on Steam as soon as!

N was originally on PC and N+ came to DS and I think PSP as well.

It did, but the 360 version of N+ kills all the other ones. Online multi, level packs, better controls, music that I loved even if it was only 3 tracks, etc. I really loved the shit out of that game.

Sushigod7 · Mar 23, 2013

Will buy was bummed out I didn't get to play on XBLA. Looks great!

-Mikey- · Mar 23, 2013

I'll finally finish this version! Bought it on 360 and didn't put much time into it because I hate hooking my consoles up.

Day one!

Noogy · Mar 23, 2013

Woo, sorry for not jumping in earlier, I just now got to a wifi hotspot.

The panel was a blast (thank you to everyone who attended), and surprisingly the live build did not crash! I believe the panel will be available for later viewing, after which I'll post a link.

But the big news is, of course, Steam. I'm so happy to finally start talking about it, and thank you guys for the reception is has received so far. I should note that the game will NOT be using GFW, and I've spent much of the last few months making it a PC friendly port. Running the game at 1080p is quite nice.

Anyway, I can't give a specific release date, but I'm working as fast as I can. Thanks everyone!

Yep, this just further cemented that day 1 purchase decision.

Good work Noogy!

Goody · Mar 23, 2013

Shadow Complex is the only worthwhile game left on XBLA for me.

the problem with steam is the steam sales. even if they are more sales on steam most of them are on 50-75% off deals on these arcade games. So at the end of the day the developer may get more money from xbla than steam even if the latter sold more (which even that is questionable)

This is not true at all.

MrSilentGuy · Mar 23, 2013

I really wanted to play this game on PC once I saw it. Now I will have this chance

And lack of GFWL is also a great news XD.

RedSwirl · Mar 23, 2013

When I finally bought a 360 in 2010 it was mostly for exclusive XBLA games:

Ikaruga
Rez HD
Shadow Complex
Perfect Dark HD
FEZ (at the time)
Limbo (at the time)
Protect Me Knight
Guardian Heroes HD
Garou Mark of the Wolves

Zarx · Mar 24, 2013

I was always interested in this game, will buy

Wonderful! So glad to hear it won't be running GFWL. That makes it an easy day one purchase for me. I'm looking forward to playing through the game.

Phatmac · Mar 24, 2013

Still surprised that people continue to harp on the art style after so long. The game is fantastic and skipping it would be a huge mistake.

Psxphile · Mar 24, 2013

Been wanting to try this since it was announced for XBLA. I'll be happy to add it to my Steam library when it's out.

j0hnny_385 · Mar 24, 2013

Having finished the game a ~month ago, all I can say is BUY THIS PEOPLE.
This is one of the best XBLA I've played. Huge and gorgeous. Noogy did an amazing job.
So glad this is coming to Steam so that more people can play it.
buy, buy, buy!

LQX · Mar 24, 2013

Nice! I have to give MS props for not totally keeping these games exclusives and allowing them on PC. Sunk 10 plus hours in this game. Loved it.

Lulubop · Mar 24, 2013

I'm very interested.

wiggleb0t · Mar 24, 2013

Purchased near all dlc on x360 to support such an ambitious incredible game/art.
Will buy on PC also. Thank you

How many times a day does someone tell you; "you rock" Noogy?
Gotta be in the hundreds I hope

Protocol7 · Mar 24, 2013

WoW this is really great, this is one of the titles I didn't want to buy on XBLA, glad it's coming to Steam.

Will there be a DRM-free version, at least at some point?

benny_a · Mar 24, 2013

Bought this game on 360, haven't played it yet. Now I can get the better version on Steam for probably less.

I think I'll just use the rest of my Allards on avatar cosmetics.

LiK · Mar 24, 2013

This game is awesome. I still need to beat the final boss. he's kicking my ass in Tough mode.

XaosWolf · Mar 24, 2013

"No GFWL" is one of those things that makes me smile.

Also; F YEAH FINALLY COMING TO STEAM! =D
That spritework is incredible. Take all the time you need. =)

Forkball · Mar 24, 2013

You're next Halo 3.

The animation looks amazing and I heard it was great as well. Day one (of 75% off sale).

hope it comes to the Vita as well

(when I watched the trailer... I was like.. man I would get the Xbox for this)

You actually couldn't be more wrong. There is a reason the PC has became a vibrant market for indie development compared to the consoles you know.

Absolutely, gloriously incorrect

Nokterian · Mar 24, 2013

No GFWL? Bought!

petran79 · Mar 24, 2013

Looking forward to this game.
Didnt know it was from the designer of Jazz Jackrabbit 2.

Should have appeared much sooner.

If you add the fact that some other games are also playable through emulation on PC, even with online play like Garou, albeit without HD, list grows even smaller

bryehn · Mar 24, 2013

Really good game, but it's quite easy to get overlevelled if you're collecting all the items.

Lord Panda · Mar 24, 2013

Any new content Dean?
