I didn't even think about this. Yeah, fuck this OT, Phantom Dust is legit.

I'm so ready for this game. Reminds me alot of Muramasa.
Wouldn't its status as an XNA game make it easy to port?

Oh my God. I want this so much. Noogy, you win at life.

Are there boss battles?

If I recall correctly, the main character is hand-drawn while enemies are 2D skeletal animations.
Don't worry.
I can't say anything about the game itself because it has an embargo until monday, but the music in Dust is simply amazing. You can hear some of the soundtrack in the gameplay demo Dean did with PlayXBLA. It compliments the vibe of the game really well.
Here's a quote by Noogy himself about the animation:

I should've researched more on this game. My bad. Now I know more about it.
What an amazing achievement. The animation is amazing.

It's been a long, long time I've waited for this. I won't believe it's out until I'm playing it.

How many years has it been since it was shown? Three or four?
Anyway, got my points ready. This and Super Time Force will be the last games I play on my 360 before it's "retired."

Ok, that's cool about the boss battle confirmation.
Do you guys think this will be the Downloadable GotY, or are there already contenders?

Probably, yes. Can't really think of any other game that might win, besides Journey.
Let's do this!

I don't know, just off the top of my head I see Sound Shapes and Fez as contenders. Possibly Retro City Rampage if it ends up being really good. And if The Witness actually comes out this year I can also see a lot of people choosing it.
What the fuck? This looks great and I'm buying day one but this year was extremely good for downloadable games. Trials Evolution is a very complete game. Sound Shapes is pretty awesome for a mobile game/creation toy but it's hard for me to say that or Journey compete. Joe Danger is out soon too.

You unlock skills as you progress and find them, such as the ground slide is locked until you find it, you also level up and have some skill points to use in strengh, projectiles and stuff.
There are also chests which have locks on, you find keys to use in them and some have multiple locks on.
plus a hell of a lot more.

That might explain why I want this so bad. I loved Muramasa!

I think there's a difference between port begging and wanting to see a game expand to other platforms, especially ones that lack a physical release. This isn't about X Y Z platform being better than another, but different communities respond to different games. I think each platform has its own unique and special community, and this game would work well on other platforms besides Microsoft's -- but I'm not suggesting the current platform it's on is a bad one.
Since Dust is a game completely designed by one person -- and looks gorgeous -- hoping it gets more exposure and enough business to expand to other places seem like good enough reasons for it to see other releases elsewhere. For now, the current one is fine and does the job gorgeously -- I just hope the kind of community it is providing for is one that will embrace it enough to cater to that expansion.

If it does appear on PC then there's a good chance it will be GFWL since Microsoft is publishing it.
Any game that doesn't have a publisher gets auto published by MS though no? Braid, Super Meatboy ect.

Oh, that's a good point. I'm not sure how it works. I assume the worst so I'm not disappointed later, haha.
Oh awesome, thanks for doing a OT, Matt! I'm going to be putting up the trailer VERY soon, excited to show off some new content.
I still can't believe this little endeavor of mine is done and actually coming out. It's even weirder that others are playing it. I hope everyone enjoys it come Wednesday!
And keep your eyes peeled on this thread for free XBLA codes

I apologise if my OP leads to an army of Phantom Dust fans boycotting the game =P

please think of us europeans when you hand out some codes (time zones...).
I'll be the first to do so, you can count on it.

Free codes are always welcome but I would actually feel bad not paying for this game.
Sorry bro but I need less competition for those codes.
Great looking game Noogy. I know that you have posted in the indy game thread a few times. Every time I watch a vid for your game I'm amazed. I think I asked you about your skeletal animation system at one point in the thread.

Same. My points are ready and queued for Wednesday. Would definitely give a code to a buddy, were I to acquire one.

Oh man, been waiting to play this game since forever. All my favorite genre hooks rolled into one beautiful package.
Congrats on this achievement, noogy. Truly inspiring.

Been waiting to buy this as well; if I get a code I'll pass it along to a few people I know without any cash right now.

I wanna play it now.
