World of F***ing Goo: Trailer

By: Derek Yu

On: September 11th, 2007

So my goal for World of Goo is to (hopefully) combine the best of both [physics games and adventure games], where all gameplay is 100% physically simulated, and where each level is thematically extraordinary, visually iconic, and always (at least mildly) related to a story arc. There is very little asset re-use between levels, which is expensive in the sense that I have to create unique art by hand for every level, but as Iâ€™m seeing the game come together, Iâ€™m kinda happy how â€œbeautifulâ€ (or at least original) it is becoming. I just hope mom and dad (uh.. Sierra and LucasArts) are proud.

-Kyle Gabler, 2D Boy

EDIT: Gabler’s 7-day prototype Tower of Goo is the inspiration behind this game.

Looks “interesting”, but I don’t get it. The clips go by really quickly, so it’s a bit tough to understand what I’m looking at.

Interesting non-the-less…

to SexyLando – look at experimental gameplay page and play Tower of Goo. You will get basic idea very quickly – something like fun real time arcade version of Bridge Builder

Looks nice though i am not sure what it’s about. Will it be something like Bridge Builder or Armadillo Run? I like them a lot.

I like the style and the gameplay combination he’s going for. I had played the Tower of Goo sometime ago and enjoyed it, so I found the World of Goo intriguing when I first learned about it. After watching the video and reading Gabler’s “Art and Gameplay” from which Derek quoted (http://2dboy.com/2007/08/20/world-of-goo-art-and-gameplay/), I’m truly looking forward its completion.

this is very very impressive.
cant wait to see how 2d boy extrapolates the gameplay from ToG into a fully featured game.

great art, too.

you’re great kyle.
