Goat Simulator

you wont be able to monetize unless you get permission he seems a nice guy though but some games don't allow monetization like assetto cars for eg.

 

[cheesyboy]

They've explicitly allowed monetisation. I can imagine the market being flooded with vids of goats inexplicably firing off into space for the next few weeks

 

[derv]

Just pre-ordered this, can't wait.

Reminds me of insurance fraud in Saints Row, with one improvement. Your a Goat.

£6? Count me in for a few copies then! The videos are hilarious and I want to dish this out to a few friends.

anyway of just buying this via card or on steam ?

i dont want to use paypal or amazon

 

[Phantom Shadow]

You can use paypal with just your card, no need to have an account. They are using Humble Bundle to take payments.

Otherwise you'll have to wait until april 1st when it is released.

I heard exactly the same thing. Only I read the FAQ on the website rather than speaking to someone on my long list of famous game designers

Just fired it up - it works at 5760x1080 without any major issues so far (the backgrounds to the menu buttons are messed up, but you just click on the word "Options", "Start", etc and that works perfectly). In game, it works fine.

I managed to follow the first two instructions - jump a fence, and jump more than 5m on a trampoline, then I got sidetracked and knocked over a group of people and caused a petrol station to explode. I apparently just got the "Michael Bay" award for that!

Currently uploading footage of the first couple of minutes of my gameplay to Youtube, but it's a 1GB file so taking it's sweet time - I'll post a link up in a couple of hours when it's done.

How are you playing it early? I bought it and redeemed the key on Steam on 11th Feb, but I can't start the game until 1st April.

Update:
Nevermind, I restarted Steam and I'm installing it now

Towelliee is playing it on Twitch atm too, http://www.twitch.tv/towelliee

 

[BananaDunka]

Nooooooo I'm an hour away from home!

Weekend sorted though haha.

[Phantom Shadow]

Trying to collect I think the last of those little idol things, so infuriating!

 

[~>Dg<~]

trying to do the crane jump onto trampoline

managed to fly whole map with jet packs on.

 

[Confused Stu]

Impressive. The jet pack just seems to be a really quick way for me to meet the ground. Is there any way to control direction while the pack's burning or is it completely random?

Video of the game running in Eyefinity has finally uploaded:
http://youtu.be/1GMwCcOz2sQ

I'm very impressed that it runs perfectly across 3 screens, and the HUD is centralised on the middle screen and completely usable. When you consider the Call of Duty series STILL refuses to work on 3 screens because it's too difficult to do (according to them) that's a very impressive achievement for a little game like this.

P.S. The video looks very jerky, I dropped some settings to minimise the recorded file size, and I think I may have gone too far. The actual gameplay is MUCH smoother.
