Goat Simulator is the latest in goat simulation technology, bringing next-gen goat simulation to YOU. You no longer have to fantasize about being a goat, your dreams have finally come true! WASD to write history. It’s all about causing as much destruction as you possibly can as a goat. Destroy things with style, such as doing a backflip while headbutting a bucket through a window, or you could just give Steam Workshop a spin and create your own goats, levels, missions, and more! When it comes to goats, not even the sky is the limit, as you can probably just bug through it and crash the game.

Mini Q&A
Answers by Armin Ibrisagic, Game Designer and PR Manager

Why do you make games?
I needed a way to sponsor my expensive hobby of collecting disposable lighters

Why should people play Escape Goat 2?
I never said that.

What element of game design do you hold above all others?
Okay, let's get serious for the last question. I think innovation is by far the most important element, both for game designers and for the industry as a whole, if it's not to degrade to a state where every game is polished, well executed, but essentially the same. I read a lot of game design literature in college and I hated it, it always tells you how to design a game - games are art and there should be no order or "best practices" in art.

Day 2 | Coffee Stain Studios

[ExCest]

I can lick boats. Good enough for me.

[noncompos]

Whatever floats your goat.

[cleft5]

This game seems really crazy and fun too me. I like unique games that are out there like this, these developers definitely have a cool sense of style.

[Transporter47]

Too bad you can't make the goat use disposable lighters.

[randomass171]

At least you've got realistic boat licking action. :P

[CowsGoMoo]

moo

[rdgneoz3]

Any goat shaped disposable lighters?

[oneluckybullet]

goats are ok with me.......

[Robochobo]

Quirky interview.

[lazyboyblue]

I'm not usually an angry person but this interview really got my goat.

[Kayant]

"latest in goat simulation technology, bringing next-gen goat simulation to YOU" - Truly the most innovate simulation I have seen.

"Why do you make games?

I never said that. "

Hahaha I love this interview this dev is such a character.

[dictionary]

Everybody love the goat!

[beepbopadoobop]

I so need to play this!

[Emilio_Estevez]

You do, it's just a plain ol' good time, fun for the whole family.

[WillGuitarGuy]

I cracked up laughing when EatMyDiction1 streamed this game on Twitch.

[BADDOG]

wanna try it on PS4

[RexDD]

Haha this guy is hilarious!

[KingKelloggTheWH]

This game is just plain weird...I like it

[Priestwithgun]

Okay, let's get serious for the last question. I think innovation is by far the most important element

I totally agree

[oKidUKo]

There has been a whole load of simulators but I could never have predicted Goats to finally get the recognition they so deserve.

[rambi80]

Some goats just want to see the world turned into poop

[pasky3366]

Devil goats are awesome..

[Disagree]

reminds of that one video on youtube. I know you've seen it. where an eagle picks up a mountain goat and throws it off a cliff a billion feet to its death.

[xHeavYx]

I've watched YouTube videos about this game, looks pretty fun

[Derekvinyard13]

This game is insane

[EE_Knots]

Hope to see more

[Tatsuya]

GOATY for PS4. Come on!

[shadowvisa]

GOATY

[PrimeGrime]

Lol what an absurd interview, can't say I am too interested in these particular simulators as of late but at least the guy is being funny about it.

I don't think anything can get worse than a rock simulator though, at least there is more to do in this besides roll and look at a rock in different environments lol.

[randomass171]

Gotta love it when a dev approaches their interviews with humor. It makes them seem more human and relatable.

[spack]

You have to admire a developer that cuts right through to his addiction to cheap Bic lighters.

[LukeFair]

This is for sure one of the most crazy game out there. And i agree with Armin. You can't teach a designer how games should be designed, they are art, and the best ones IMO are the one that go over the "standard" limit, and try be crazy. That's why I love also Japanese games

[Juliussmith12]

Even if I don't win this game I'm gonna buy it, and become one with the mountain goat! Goat of the year edition.

[kraideral]

This game is just stupid and I like it!

[Mordecaii]

Game looks like a good time, although I do agree with some that these simulators are getting kind of ridiculous. Farming sims, grass sims, rock sims...... This looks like it knows the absurdity of these sims and just pokes fun at itself which pretty cool.

[HammadTheBeast]

Aww windows only for now.

[heisenberguk]

I'm partial to a bit of goat!!

[jessejohanna]

This game is on my wishlist, looks funny!

[majorundeclared]

I'm not going to kiss up like everyone else, but I think you guys are nice...

[FITgamer]

I always wanted to be goat as kid.

[MrxDeath]

this company is Idiotic and i love them sooooo much they made an awesome game

[Soulsaber]

Awesome!

[pyrocloud7]

Best element of game design:

You put your studio in the game and let me go goat-shit on it.

[randomass171]

Goat-s***... that's a new one. XD

[marcanthonynoz]

Totes Ma Goats

[menger88p]

I'm sad that i didn't get this advanced goat sim on steam summer sale :-(

[Alex_Boro]

Can't wait to see what Coffee Stain Studios does next!

[xX-StolenSoul-Xx]

Skateboarding Goats <3

[Gh05t]

I am happy that the game is doing so well and glad to hear that they got a distributor. I want to try this game so bad I wish there was a goat simulator demo.

[randomass171]

Likewise. Always refreshing to see an obscure indie game get a lot of positive attention.

[gragrofe]

Loving it, keep up the fantastic work.

[MaalDeJah]

Love his Q&A responses.

[grashopper]

Looked at this one a while back. Looks pretty bonkers. Would be curious to try it.

[DJ-DK786]

My friend has this game and it is really funny! GOTY!

[Sarobi]

I really enjoy this game. I can't wait to see what the developers come up with next.

[ReaperXR91]

played this game and I feel one word summed up my experience
Damn

[korona15]

I'd like to see them make a giraffe simulator for their next game

[kingdom18]

How do people come up with ideas like these?

[tahersaid]

If I'm a Goat, could I make myself a BBQ?

[KristophUK]

I have always fantasised about being a goat. This game looks great!

[Virtua_Awesome]

Hmm... I think that launch trailer may be parodying a certain other trailer xD Love it!

[FFrncs2]

This looks so BAAAAAAHHHHHD I like it!!

[SpeedDemon]

Looks good, hoping we see a console release.

[WildArmed]

I remember when I could not believe this was a game lol

[ZoyosJD]

TBH, I totally face-palmed when I saw the first headline for this game months back, but it seems to have tapped into that "so bad it's good" mojo. Maybe at some point we'll just have "Animal Simulator".

[JacobK]

I'm really happy for the team at Coffee Stain Studios. I really wish they would do a spiritual successor under the name Sheep Simulator. There is nothing more I would like in this world than to take over the nation of New Zealand with an army of double-jointed, ill-tempered, animated sheep. :D

[Lucifun]

My friend had a goat once....

[scuzzy-dee]

Can I play as a "nanny" goat?

[LegitPunisher]

love the 4 player co-op on goat sim

[MYDEATH21]

Never, has our opportunity to live the life of a goat been so close to our grasp

[TheFanboySlayer]

I love how different goats are different animals lmao

[Hypnotic]

I wish I was a goat.

[mydyingparadiselost]

An amazing look inside the day to day life of goats.

[gobluesamg]

This game is nuts man.

[randomass171]

"Why do you make games?"
"I needed a way to sponsor my expensive hobby of collecting disposable lighters."

Haha, at least he's honest! XD

[zbabas]

'Hobby of collectiong disposable lighters'
I KNEW I WASNT THEY ONLY ONE <3

[BiggCMan]

I never knew their name before hahaha.

[iamnsuperman]

I seriously need to get this game. No idea why I havent yet

[oasdada]

i like the game designer lol
