#12For another entertaining "This went much farther than expected" but for two people who already had full time jobs and no desire to leave them, make a start up, or start a new business in any way, see Tom Scott and Matt Gray's Emojli: an emoji-only messenger app https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GsyhGHUEt-k

#13I didn't read to the bottom, but just in case this wasn't mentioned: UGG was funded by a government grant, Film Victoria, specifically for game companies to "produce a prototype or full game, and marketing and related expenses"

edit: I mention this as interesting trivia, not as in, "Watch out, Untitled Goose Game is a front for the (Australian) feds"

#14My favorite piece of Goose Game fanart so far is this one: https://i.redd.it/wbts33d7u6u31.jpg A bad goose variation on https://i.imgur.com/WPuSziL.jpg It's a simple and hilarious game. Haven't finished it yet, but strongly recommend to anyone who's on the fence.
if this isn't the work of a viral marketing company, they certainly have the possibility of a new line of work ahead of them after this. I can't remember seeing a viral marketing campaign as effective as this in a long time.
edit: this comment is apparently oddly controversial for a startup-oriented forum. Perhaps someone could explain why? They have really struck marketing gold in a way most small companies would envy.

Personally, It's a game I love to hate. growing up near a large lake, I got to see these flying rage machines up close, and to play as one opened up a part of my brain I had closed up for years.
I want more games like this.

#16Light hearted mischief come alive with the animal kingdom's lead scamp as the central character.
The game itself is great fun for a casual game and it's fun to watch people play and laugh.
The inherent share-ability / meme-ability of goose antics is viral marketing at it's best.
Well deserved success, I hope they do a goose-2 with co-op mischief!

It nearly got me to purchase something on the Epic Store.
Nearly.

FWIW I’m playing on Switch. It’s a great format for a little game like this.

>I got to see these flying rage machines up close
Probably one of the more harrowing things I've ever done was egg addling for goose population control in a lake nearby. Nothing like balancing on a canoe fighting off geese with a paddle while the other person sneaks up behind to the nest and does the job.
The one thing the game seemed to fail to capture is the horror as a goose comes up hisses in your face. Geese do this. You know that when some animal comes up and hisses at you it means business.
