A silly goat is acting in the city, the player will not die in this world, the game has no ending, and the strange bugs everywhere make people scratch their heads, no matter from which point of view, "Simulated Goat" is a pure spoof game.
However, just a bug-filled ghost animal game, but a few years ago it was popular all over the world, received a lot of praise in the player base, and once became a member of the seven famous books of the Steam platform and easily obtained countless independent game dream achievements. Behind this game, it is actually just a small team of ten people, which took a month to make.
From a game point of view, "Simulated Goat" should be regarded as a very good performance of the spoof game, but in the official game genre, it is divided into action-adventure games, beautiful modeling and open world are the elements of modern action games, but what is "Simulated Goat"?
3D pictures can only be said to be standard, and the quality is not very good, and it is a variety of molds when played. In addition, there are so many bugs in this game that Ubisoft has to shout at the inside. A bug appears in a game in the often passed, slowly polished just fine, but if everywhere ug all the time, it is estimated that the designer deliberately did it, "Simulated Goat" is such a work.
Players will play as a goat and break through the city to get a higher score, which is how the game is all about. As for the action element, it is manifested in the fact that the goat can move, jump, attack and stick out its tongue to grasp...
But don't underestimate "Simulated Goat" because the gameplay is simple, under this simple gameplay, this game can do a lot more, as long as the player's imagination is enough, you can almost do whatever you want in the city, and this game can also be regarded as creating a new genre of games.
The opportunity to develop "Simulated Goat" actually lies in a small decision within the studio, it is said that the studio will form its own team every once in a while to create some small games and come up with ideas, which can be regarded as providing inspiration and ideas for future game production. At the beginning, the studio did not plan to list "Simulated Goat", only planned to do a demo, so there were a lot of bugs in the research and development process, anyway, the internal works were too lazy to modify, but who knew that it was these funny bugs that completely made "Simulated Goat" out of the circle.
At first, the studio wanted to make the game like GTA, but there were only ten people in the studio, and finally in addition to bugs such as crashing the game, the rest were all put into the game, and the studio also said that everyone could open their minds in the game, no matter how strange the idea could be stuffed into the game.
Some people like "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles", in the sewers of "Simulated Goat" there are really four Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Easter eggs, like the rocket pack is no problem, directly add to you. There are many magical brain holes such as these, such as alien easter eggs, goat magic arrays, and even playing Minecraft in the game, only unthinkable, without "Simulated Goat" can not do.
On April Fool's Day in 2014, "Simulated Goat" quietly appeared in the malls of major game platforms, although there was no particularly big publicity in the early stage, but the game still triggered a wave of discussion in a very short period of time. The game was only a few tens of minutes on the shelves, and it recovered all the research and development costs, which shows the popularity of "Simulated Goat" that year, at this point, the legend of "Simulated Goat" seems to be coming to an end, but the studio's brain hole for this game is not over.
Someone asked them why the protagonist of the game is a goat and not a giraffe? After that, the studio actually made a magic version of giraffe plus to join the play. It is also this free-wheeled development model, so that "Simulated Goat" like a virus, quickly spread on the Internet, compared to similar sales of similar masterpieces, "Simulated Goat" is really a mudslide, even the studio itself said that this is a stupid game, players might as well spend money elsewhere, but even if it is a bitter block, it can not stop the player from buying crazy, steam hundreds of hours of big guys Bibibi, which shows that this goat really has a special charm.
Since the rise of the indie game concept in 2008, there have been countless large and small independent game studios born and decayed, and it is not easy to persist in the fierce competition to the end, not to mention that indie games can only win with novel innovation and gameplay due to lack of experience and funds. Compared with the works of those big manufacturers, independent games are obviously inferior from the birth, and it is a big challenge for the ability of developers, and the success of "Simulated Goat" is unexpected and expected, but in any case, I hope that the future game industry can give birth to more works that win with creativity, so that game works can bloom, which is what everyone is looking forward to.
