- Development Hell: Owlboy was first announced in 2007; it would not see a release until November 2016, nine years later. Planning goes back even further, to at least 2005.
- Saved from Development Hell: Development of Owlboy was fraught with difficulties since its 2007 announcement, to say the least. The director suffers from depression (and has since childhood), and the term were very concerned about fan feedback. The game finally saw the light of day in 2016.
- Troubled Production: Owlboy has received much praise, but it's also infamous for its very lengthy development spanning nearly an entire decade. The Development Hell was mostly because 1) director Simon Stafsnes Andersen has suffered from depression since childhood, and 2) the team were very worried about expectations from fans to the extent that they restarted from scratch several times.
