The animation is so smooth! It feels incredible, especially for such small characters. The game already looked exciting. I hope I'll have some time to play it. Anyway definitely buying it!
Why is the animation so smooth and perfect? The pixel art is really amazing to look at, I can perfectly imagine me staring at the game just for the art.
2018. The year of 11 bit studios. I love all the emotional games you guys put out. They always seem to have good gameplay and good meaning behind them. Please don't ever change. The game industry needs this kind of quality and heart.
Aww, that's so sweet! :) Thank you so much! And we don't plan to change. We're growing but we're indie at heart - and we want to both develop and publish meaningful, emotional titles. Glad to know you appreciate our approach. :) Cheers!
So great that I can finally play this game. I found Moonlighter on Kickstarter after the game got funded. I was disappointed that I couldn't help fund the game. Really looking forward to this!
I really love the feel of an immersive story this trailer gives off, sadly the release version is missing a "growing up as Will" part/fable esque sort of prologue. Regardless, the game is really fun in its current state and with a few tweaks and bug fixes it'll be an absolute 10/10 for me. I really hope you guys decide to add more updates in the future; this game is beautiful and deserves it!
I never was a fan of RPG-maker games that just feel cheap and low effort, but this has some beautiful animations and such fantastic music with a heart, I may just make an exception and actually not regret it. Go on, best of wishes!
its so beautiful *-* its amazing how pixel art games still have an appeal in an artistic way in modern times instead of being the norm because of old systems. Really looking forward to play this game!:D
I can't wait to play this! _Goosebumps the whole time!_ It feels like legend of Zelda's fantasy mixed with Binding of Isaac's Rogue gameplay and the right dash of amazing pixel art! Fantastic Job!
Ayyy, I remember backing this on kickstarter. Wow, I've been waiting for this for a long, long while. Almost two years now, actually. Glad it's finally got a release date for me to look forward to.
I can say with confidence that "Moonlighter" is the favorite of all the Kickstarters I've backed. I'm really looking forward to the game, especially since my initial copy is for the PS4, meaning I don't have to wait for Switch release to go ahead and play the game. My only gripe (and it's with myself, not you guys personally) is I'll be forced to pick up the physical "Signature Edition" for the goods, but whatevs. I WANT THAT MEDALLION. Trailer looks amazing, guys. Thankfully, May is just around the corner! :)
@@nikkoduran definitely yes but maybe you can wait for a promo. And i warn you, the game is awesome (good gameplay, good music, good bestiary) but very repetitive.
I have seen other rogue like dungeon games, and most of them feature the main character only fighting for himself, but this game, is unique. It really is interesting and shows selflessness tbh
So happy to hear "yet!" This was the first I've seen of the game and it looks so good but like it'd be perfect on Switch. I'll try to wait. Or buy twice. We'll see!
It's perfect for Switch! It had a great trailer too! I will wait for the Switch version but I wouldn't like to wait too much. I don't think it will have any differences and the graphics will be the same. It looks amazing by the way !
I didnt know this existed before now, and i am happy that youtube reccomended it to me. I have never had a trailer made my jaw drop that hard, the animation is beautiful and the story hits so hard and good. And the gameplay looks like the perfect mix between a 2d zelda, mixed with the rougelite parts of boi and enter the gungeon, I WANT IT NOW! I can't wait for this to come out, games like this is the reason i support indie titles. Keep up the great work!
If I'm honest, that's one of the best and beautiest presentations for a release of an indie game, thank you for such an awesome and lovely work guys, really unbelievable!
This game almost feels like a dream. A really good one at that. One so good that I have come back to it repeatedly to start a new game, play on my main game, or even just listen to the great music. If it is a dream I hope I never wake up.
Just watched a streamer fight the forest guardian, i never though i'd say this but that was THE most fluid animation of a giant plant monster emerging from the ground i had EVER seen, almost felt ghibli-esque , REALLY looking forward to this game as a rune factory / tangledeep fan .
This game looks just amazing... It's been a loooong since i saw a trailer that made me want to play a game so badly. It's beautiful, cute, interesting and fun. Brings back old memories of GBA Zelda and that's freaking cool. Thanks you devs.
No problem I literally look all over for these type of games and there is quite a few in the making, I just didn't mention them yet because they aren't as defined as the two above yet. :-3
Can't wait for this and other games on the 11 bit table (Looking at you Frostpunk) These guys are my favourite devs at the moment, and after seeing what they are offering other devs in the way of publishing/distribution makes me love them even more. Oh, and TWoM/The Little Ones was my most important game of 2017. All boxes ticked! Love you guys, keep it up!!
I don't read replies He didn't beg for it, the game was announced to be released on the Switch, so he was just wondering why there is no release date mentioned for it. And he got his answer.
Original story. Awesome soundtrack. Smooth pixel animations. Beautiful artwork. Why am I hearing about this just now???! It looks absolutely gorgeous! Definitely playing this! Edit: Got it!
11 bit studios And it's amazing! I'm loving the types of loot in each dungeon and the varied types of enemies. The inventory management is more fun that most people would think. There's actual differences in the dungeons that make me appreciate the time it must've taken to make them and it really makes it enjoyable because of that! I'm looking forward to any sequel or future content coming from you guys, awesome job on Moonlighter!
The game is just updated to version 1.6, with plenty of fixes and system changes which improves the game. The developers listens, which is quite rare in the triple AAA games, let alone in indie games. I love this game a lot, I'd gladly pay for DLC.
Just bought this today, on sale on Xbox One! It’s hella awesome, couldn’t have spent my money better. Shout out to the ppl who worked on this one- keep the formula, it’s amazing!
Mira que tengo un prejuicio con los roguelike porque no me gusta lo procedural pero es que esto tiene una pinta tan tan tan cojonuda que a nada que las críticas acompañen cae en formato físico de salida. En serio os está quedando precioso y parece muy divertido, y este trailer con ese componente emotivo no me lo esperaba para nada. Muchísimo ánimo paisanos ❤️
The game looks absolutely amazing. A bit disappointed this isn't on Switch, it would be a great addition to the console. Will be picking this up for PC and hope for a Switch version in the future.
This game is absolutely stunning, I have no issues playing in english but I really hope to see the italian language added. You truly did a magnificent job.
Cannot explain how excited I am, great stuff guys!
Mr. Fruit Gaming Channel Enjoyed your first playthrough of the game. Are you gonna do another?
Thanks :D
Thanks, Mr. Fruit! Hope to see the game on your channel again, then! :>
Dilly Dilly
MR FROOT
me too
The animation is so smooth! It feels incredible, especially for such small characters. The game already looked exciting. I hope I'll have some time to play it. Anyway definitely buying it!
Thank you so much - we really appreciate it! You're the best, cheers! :)
You're welcome! Is it okay to use the game as an example for game design/programming tutorials?
Is it okay? It would be awesome, man. :) Just be sure to credit us somehow - put a link to Steampage or sth. ;)
Sure, I always do. Anyway if I forget it people will ask for it ^^
Good luck with the release!
Hello gdquest :D I usually watch ur Krita vids back when I started using Krita.
The trailer almost made me cry, this looks outstanding, I can't get over how much I love the animation style.
Thank you, Ben!
Why is the animation so smooth and perfect? The pixel art is really amazing to look at, I can perfectly imagine me staring at the game just for the art.
Thanks a lot! We couldn't help it - we just had to make this animation so smooth. :(
It's absolutely beautiful.
the amount of sweat and tears put into the visuals, so many frames and fantastic art style, as a pixel artist can't stop but feel inspired
Thank you SO much!

Finally!! After clicking refresh on your twitter for months, and searching all over. A release date!
Wow I found this trailer really moving. Thank you.
Thank YOU!
The narrative, the visual, and the soundtrack make this trailer *Chef Kiss* SOO GOOD
Wonderful trailer
Thanks, it's great to hear that you've enjoyed it!
So great that I can finally play this game. I found Moonlighter on Kickstarter after the game got funded. I was disappointed that I couldn't help fund the game. Really looking forward to this!
gosh, dam pixelart... it's impressive what some artist can do with it.
This kinda game really brings back memory... Rpg on nintendo and early ps1 looks so beautiful this way...
Cant wait for this 11bit
The soundtrack has me absolutely sold.
I really love the feel of an immersive story this trailer gives off, sadly the release version is missing a "growing up as Will" part/fable esque sort of prologue. Regardless, the game is really fun in its current state and with a few tweaks and bug fixes it'll be an absolute 10/10 for me.

I never was a fan of RPG-maker games that just feel cheap and low effort, but this has some beautiful animations and such fantastic music with a heart, I may just make an exception and actually not regret it. Go on, best of wishes!
And we didn't even touch RPG Maker when making Moonlighter - so no worries! :) Thanks for believing in us!
This looks... SO GODDAMN GOOD. The animations in particular look to have a lot of personality. Absolutely can't wait for this!
That's great to hear! Thaaank you!
Soundtrack sounds amazing so far. Can’t wait
Finally a release date! This is great news. I've really been looking forward to this one.
Great! Thanks!
You guys sold me with the teaser trailer and now I’m so hyped that we have a release date now! I can’t wait to play this
That's awesome to hear! You don't have to wait too long - so that's good, right? ;)
This game looks so beautiful. I've just updated my wishlist and i'm looking forword to play this gem!
That's super duper awesome, thanks a lot!
The retro vibes are real!! Wish I could play right now.
Great story, this will be awesome!
An adventurer who sells his loot in his shop!
Glad to hear that you like it! :)
You should check out Recettear while you wait for Moonlighter to release! Extremely similar game premise.
its so beautiful *-* its amazing how pixel art games still have an appeal in an artistic way in modern times instead of being the norm because of old systems. Really looking forward to play this game!:D
Best pixelart i've ever seen!
:O Thanks!
MR. FRUIT!! PLEASE PLAY MORE OF THIS!!!
I can't wait to play this! _Goosebumps the whole time!_ It feels like legend of Zelda's fantasy mixed with Binding of Isaac's Rogue gameplay and the right dash of amazing pixel art! Fantastic Job!
Thank you SO MUCH!
No problem :3 can't wait to buy it once it comes out!
Ayyy, I remember backing this on kickstarter. Wow, I've been waiting for this for a long, long while. Almost two years now, actually. Glad it's finally got a release date for me to look forward to.
Hi there! Thank you SO MUCH for supporting us on KS! It really means a lot! :)
Yup, release is coming SOON! :)

Trailer looks amazing, guys. Thankfully, May is just around the corner! :)
Thanks for supporting the game on Kickstarter - that means a world to us!
Being in a Game Design class and having done Sprite work this is insane, awesome work.
Outstanding trailer. Love the emotional aspect. Really pulls me in.
It's great to hear that, Max. Thanks for your comment, cheers!
2 years later, im still here.
do u think i should buy it now?
@@nikkoduran definitely yes but maybe you can wait for a promo. And i warn you, the game is awesome (good gameplay, good music, good bestiary) but very repetitive.
@@martinrohmer3584 thanks, i gonna give it a chance
@@nikkoduran there is a bundle on Fanatical and Moonlighter is available for 7$ in it. (Works if you are a pc player).
@@martinrohmer3584 also on playstation
Can't wait to play this, been looking forward to it since its reveal
I am counting down the days!! :D
Looks great, can't wait for the switch release :)
Now that was brilliant pixel animation!
This took me back to my youth... oh, how time flies. ;_;
I have seen other rogue like dungeon games, and most of them feature the main character only fighting for himself, but this game, is unique. It really is interesting and shows selflessness tbh
Charming and inviting.
Is this the original music from the game?
When can we expect the Switch version?
Thanks a lot, Rafał!
Yup, it's the music created for the game.
We're not ready to announce the Switch date, yet.
So happy to hear "yet!" This was the first I've seen of the game and it looks so good but like it'd be perfect on Switch. I'll try to wait. Or buy twice. We'll see!
It's perfect for Switch! It had a great trailer too! I will wait for the Switch version but I wouldn't like to wait too much. I don't think it will have any differences and the graphics will be the same. It looks amazing by the way !
11 bit studios would buy this game on switch.
The art, music, gameplay, animation EVERYTHING LOOKS AMAZING
I didnt know this existed before now, and i am happy that youtube reccomended it to me. I have never had a trailer made my jaw drop that hard, the animation is beautiful and the story hits so hard and good.

Thanks A LOT, Daniel! Have a good one! :)
That's a really unique and awesome looking pixelart style
Thanks! Great to hear that you like it! :)
If I'm honest, that's one of the best and beautiest presentations for a release of an indie game, thank you for such an awesome and lovely work guys, really unbelievable!
That's soo amazing to hear! Thank you so much, we are very glad that you like it! :)
This game almost feels like a dream. A really good one at that. One so good that I have come back to it repeatedly to start a new game, play on my main game, or even just listen to the great music. If it is a dream I hope I never wake up.
I am absolutely pumped for this indie game, definitely a first day grab.
Great to hear that, Vincent - thanks a lot!
Just watched a streamer fight the forest guardian, i never though i'd say this but that was THE most fluid animation of a giant plant monster emerging from the ground i had EVER seen, almost felt ghibli-esque , REALLY looking forward to this game as a rune factory / tangledeep fan .
The animation, color palette, and pixel art is perfect. I honestly might end up doubling dipping on GOG and Switch. I can’t wait!
It's soooo great to know that you like it, Jake! Thanks for the comment, cheers! :)
This music its perfect 0:49 - 1:05
Glad you like it! You can get the full OST here: davidfennmusic.bandcamp.com/album/moonlighter :)
This game looks just amazing... It's been a loooong since i saw a trailer that made me want to play a game so badly. It's beautiful, cute, interesting and fun. Brings back old memories of GBA Zelda and that's freaking cool. Thanks you devs.
Thank you! :) Glad to know you like it so much!
The animation is absolutely beautiful
Thanks! :)
Awesome guys, im buying this ! Not for the story, but for the adventure !
How lucky are we? Moonlighter/Kynseed/Graveyard Keeper all management/rpg games coming out this year, it's bliss.
thanks mention of these other two, I didn't know, I have noticing games like these, RPG management/sim is something I like very much.
No problem I literally look all over for these type of games and there is quite a few in the making, I just didn't mention them yet because they aren't as defined as the two above yet. :-3
I'm gonna patiently wait for the switch version. It looks so good and I'm really looking forward to get my hands on it.
That is totally fair, Anne - Switch version is gonna be awesome! :)
This is coming out sept 25th for switch. Had it pre ordered for month and was aware of the release date for month now. Not sure why others hadnt.
Awesome trailer! Will wait for Switch version for day 1 purchase!
Glad you like the trailer!
OMG, i already want to get the song.
I don’t want to believe that it’s just a coincidence that this game is coming out on a night with a full moon!
We had to choose the release date SOMEHOW, right? ;)
It looks like.... passion personified. Just feels like a this game has a lot of soul to it you know.
Thanks for making this one.
Can't wait for this and other games on the 11 bit table (Looking at you Frostpunk)
These guys are my favourite devs at the moment, and after seeing what they are offering other devs in the way of publishing/distribution makes me love them even more.
Oh, and TWoM/The Little Ones was my most important game of 2017.
All boxes ticked! Love you guys, keep it up!!
Aww, that's SO great to hear! We are still indie - and being someone's favorite means a world to us!
This game seems so beautiful and transformative. I am worried that there's a lack of voice acting. But I love the narrator for the trailer.
Between this and Frostpunk you are earning my money.
I'll wait for the switch version of Moonlighter tho, looks great guys.
Fair enough, Sebastian - Moonlighter is going to ROCK on Switch - it's worth the wait if you prefer this platform. :)
This looks so beautiful I'm gonna cry
No Switch version release date?
Nope. That will come later on. :)
Awww, I was hoping it would be released at the same time. I'm still gonna purchase it day one on PC, though.
Jaime Bas switch beggars at it again.
I don't read replies 😂😂
I don't read replies He didn't beg for it, the game was announced to be released on the Switch, so he was just wondering why there is no release date mentioned for it. And he got his answer.
FINALLY!!! So excited!!!!
Original story.

Smooth pixel animations.
Beautiful artwork.

A pixel art game. Wow awesome and with good mechanics can't wait to play
Thanks!
I'd love to add this game to my wishlist, but it's been there for half a year already. Nice to finally see a release date.
Yup! It's coming sooooon!
Thanks!
Nice. Really wonderful graphics you guys have here. Really want to play this game!
Thanks!
I am watching the countdown for the game on steam right now; I want to play it so bad. Congrats on the game's release.
Thank you!
This looks super cool.
And you know what else is super cool? You! ;)
Thanks a lot for your comment! :)
11 bit studios
well, THAT made my day! ✌🏻🙌🏻👍🏻
Just bought this today, on sale on Xbox One! It’s hella awesome, couldn’t have spent my money better. Shout out to the ppl who worked on this one- keep the formula, it’s amazing!
Woooow, bem no dia do meu aniversário, sinal de god ♥
It's gonna be a great birthday present, then! Cheers! :)
I CAN'T WAIT TO GET THIS
sick aesthetics
Thanks!
The feels. I have a feeling I am going to really enjoy this game.
The animation really reminds me of Minish Cap, super charming. Definitely going to get this when it drops.
Thanks!
same thought bro
Same thoughts as well.
Finally a shop keeper game with this sort of artstyle and with awesome dungeon rpg aspects :D so excited!!
YUSS! The perfect combo of game mechanics, right? ;) Stay excited! Thanks for your comment, have a good one!
so gorgeous 😍😍😍 ... and it seems fun and intriguing too 👏👏
Thanks a lot!
The fact that he is left handed like Link is pretty fucking cool :P
Finally !!!
Holy crap. Finally! Yay!
Yay! (ง ͠° ͟ل͜ ͡°)ง
Love it already :D
That's sweet, thanks! :)
THIS MADE ME CRY AAAAH also the animations are so smooth damn!
physical edition for switch please?????
I've never been so excited for a game that my pc can't run. It looks so f*ing awesome! The animations, the background, everything!
Free if you have epic games on your PC
The music in this trailer is phenomenal
Thanks! :)
Mira que tengo un prejuicio con los roguelike porque no me gusta lo procedural pero es que esto tiene una pinta tan tan tan cojonuda que a nada que las críticas acompañen cae en formato físico de salida.
En serio os está quedando precioso y parece muy divertido, y este trailer con ese componente emotivo no me lo esperaba para nada.
Muchísimo ánimo paisanos ❤️
omg 11 bit studios is on top of their game.
Switch version?
Yes there will be a switch version. Release date unknown :)
ErdbeerKrissi we'll have to get that information then.
It is coming - but later on. :)
11 bit studios mysterious... 😉
Definitely will add this on my steam wishlist!
Great! Thanks!
Recettear but with good combat? Instabuy
I just found this 5 minutes ago and now I need it in my life.
it looks very nice!
Hey! It's so great to hear that you like it! Cheers! :)
Can't wait to buy this game tomorrow right when I get out of school
The game looks absolutely amazing.
A bit disappointed this isn't on Switch, it would be a great addition to the console.
Will be picking this up for PC and hope for a Switch version in the future.
Good news! The Switch version is coming later this year!
11 bit studios That's indeed amazing news. Thanks for the update. 👍
Keep up the amazing work guys!
GOD THIS IS SO GORGEOUS!!!! I think I won't be able to wait for Switch with this one.
Well, you can always buy two copies! :D Thanks! :)
11 bit studios I see the replay value in it... So I probably will lol.
insta wishlist =D
This game is absolutely stunning, I have no issues playing in english but I really hope to see the italian language added. You truly did a magnificent job.
