World of F***ing Goo: Trailer

Posted by Derek Yu Tue, 11 Sep 2007 13:09:00 GMT


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 I’m seeing the game come together, I’m kinda happy how “beautiful” (or at least original) it is becoming. I just hope mom and dad (uh.. Sierra and LucasArts) are proud.

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

  12. SexyLando said about 10 hours later:

    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

  14. Blueskied said about 13 hours later:

    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.

  15. ithamore said about 15 hours later:

    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.

  16. fish said about 19 hours later:

    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.
