It all plays out as a sandbox game, and what you and your goat get up to is entirely up to you. If, somehow you know nothing of the game though, it is best described by the lead developer Armin Ibrisagic as “an old school skating game, except instead of being a skater, you’re a goat, and instead of doing tricks, you wreck stuff”, and with certain set pieces, carnage could indeed be wrought. I made some headway with making the goat go where I wanted it to, and soon it began to make a kind of sense.
Slowly though, carefully at first, I began to get a handle on the way the game worked, and started to appreciate the humour in the carefully broken state of Goat Simulator. I fumbled around the first area, a construction site in a small town, in a kind of a daze, with my tongue getting stuck to passing cars, firing me hundreds of feet into the air, and I thought I had made a hideous mistake. The graphics were unconvincing, the game ran poorly, and the controls seemed to be either broken or designed by someone who had never actually seen a human hand. And so, in 2015, finally, the game came to Xbox One, courtesy of Double Eleven, and I dived straight into its bonkers world.Īnd straight away I wondered “what have I done!?”.

This occurred on PC in September 2014, and best of all, as the alpha footage showed lots of bugs and seemingly non-game breaking glitches, and these were a lot of what people seemed to like, polish was denied to the final product. With the world seemingly gagging to play a game where a goat has to cause chaos, Coffee Stain Studios did what any sensible studio would do and quickly got the game into a working state, so it could be unleashed onto the masses.
Early alpha footage managed to escape to Youtube, where it was quickly met with more attention and excitement than the studio ever thought it would garner. Coffee Stain Studios, who came up with the game, held an internal “game jam” one day, and this is what was developed as a kind of joke prototype. The story of how Goat Simulator came to be is a fairly interesting one.
