Coffee Stain Studios announces a release date for
Goat Simulator, which
they themselves describe as the "world’s dumbest game." This first appeared as
a satire video before interest in the concept
inspired
development as an actual
game, and in keeping with that, the plan is to release the game on April
Fools' Day. Here's word, which also describes plans to release the less-dumb A
Story About My Uncle this summer:
Goat Simulator was inspired from
old-school skating games, where, instead of being a skater, you’re a goat, and
instead of doing skating tricks, you wreck stuff. Charging into a table and
knocking it over yields points, and if you can manage to do it while doing a
backflip first and a 360 afterwards, you’ll score even more points. With Steam
integration, Goat Simulator will also support Steam Workshop where players will
be able to make their own goats, missions, levels and more.
The first playable version of Goat Simulator for the public will be at the
Coffee Stain Studios booth at GDC San Francisco, 17-21st March 2014. Visitors
will also have the chance to try out A Story About My Uncle, a non-violent indie
first-person adventure game developed by Gone North Games that is being
published by Coffee Stain Studios and released in Summer 2014.
