Untitled Goose Game is a hilarious goose simulator where you go around causing all sorts of havoc. "I don't know how professional we are now," he says, "but it felt like a slow process of professionalization."Untitled Goose Game gets co-op mode on September 23. Push Me Pull You, he says, was just a summer project they made for themselves and other friends that slowly morphed into a PlayStation release.
It was completely done with day job funding. But for all of Push Me Pull You, we never received a paycheck. "A fair bit of that game's marketing was supported through state government funding, so that helped us travel to a few conferences. House House's first game was made entirely part-time in "bedrooms and lounge rooms and stuff," according to McMaster."We were fitting it in around study we were doing, or day jobs," he says. Today, developer House House announced that youR."We're three years more professional than we were three years ago," Strasser adds."For all of Push Me Pull You, we never received a paycheck"Push Me Pull You was not a runaway success.
We liked the idea of a third-person, Mario 64-esque game."At some point, Stuart posted a picture of a goose in our Slack and said, 'Let's make a game about this.' This was in mid-2016 I think. "We were really interested in moving into 3D and doing something with single-player. They ran with it on a whim."As we were wrapping up production on Push Me Pull You, we had a bunch of different ideas flying around," McMaster says. This was a surprise to the studio, as the idea for the game was at the time not much more than a casual joke that fellow team member Stuart Gillespie-Cook put on Slack one day. We didn't expect it to sustain us."But House House did gain a small amount of notoriety just enough that when the team posted the first trailer for Untitled Goose Game in 2017, it drew a significant amount of interest. It was not a massively commercially successful game.
I'm not sure the reasons we find geese funny are the same as the other reasons other people find geese funny."Even if the reasons were unclear, the warm reception to the initial trailer and subsequent social media efforts spurred the team to take Untitled Goose Game beyond its status as a group in-joke and develop it into a full game."In that very first trailer that we posted it shows this one garden level with this interaction with the gardener, and that was all the game we had at the time," McMaster says. We didn't think it'd be as resonant as it was. I want to say it's because it's a largely unnoticed part of people's lives, so drawing attention to it is very satisfying in the way a joke can be. "It felt like an in-joke, then we very quickly realized how many people, particularly in the northern hemisphere, have strong feelings about geese. We got a bit carried away with the idea of, 'What if you're a horrible goose?'"Strasser says that no one at House House is entirely sure why so many people outside their team think the goose is funny."It felt like an in-joke, then we very quickly realized how many people have strong feelings about geese""We thought the goose was our joke," he says.
Those reactions were really rich and interesting""We initially thought it might be this big ensemble cast, very dense crowd sim thing. We started off with just the goose in a green field with some people and a couple of rocks around, and let the game develop through prototyping."The breakthrough was having the goose and the people look at each other. "One of the first things I did was make the goose and make a walk cycle. The concept underwent multiple evolutions before it reached the tight, garden setting of its announcement trailer.In Untitled Goose Game, your goal is to be as horrible a goose as possible"In the same way that our professional careers have developed through gradual snowballing, the game took the same trajectory," says Strasser. But it turned out that people were really into the idea, so we made the decision to expand on it and do the premise justice."When House House first began working on Untitled Goose Game, they were still experimenting with their earlier ideas of a 3D, Mario-style game. Maybe we just release this thing we made as a little novelty and move onto the next project.
Interactions at that scale wouldn't have been possible in a GTA-style thing. We figured that out fairly quickly."Strasser adds: "For me, the biggest breakthrough at the start was having the goose and the people look at each other. It was this very ambitious vision of a big systemic country fete that in retrospect is very unrealistic. Lots of anonymous people simulated very systematically.
"But it was a little bit accidental. You play as the titular goose let loose in various populated areas of a quaint English village, and accomplish tasks (usually involving annoying the townsfolk) through a mix of item and environment use and stealth mechanics."I don't think we set out to make a stealth game, but that's where we arrived at and it seemed that genre's mechanics supported the kind of experience we wanted to make," says McMaster. We realized the scale needed to change dramatically into a more personal affair."That more personal affair turned out to be a bit of a mix between a puzzle game and a stealth game. It made tiny moments very funny.
That's kind of the same thing as our game, except rather than choking someone from behind you're stealing their watering can.""Making a decision before the game was even out that would ensure continued sustainability for our studio was very easy"Though the growth and development of Untitled Goose Game has resulted in a number of shifts from the original vision, one thing that hasn't changed is its placeholder title. I'm sneaking up on this person, they don't know I'm coming, so I have control over the situation. You, as the player, have a lot more information and agency than the people around you, and that's where the humor comes from."In a game like Hitman or Metal Gear Solid, it's all about this dramatic irony. It's a game about pranking people and pulling jokes, and I think with stealth games like Hitman, that's kind of the genre.
The Switch has a lot more people looking for indie games on it. "From a business perspective, PlayStation and Xbox seem like a less good place to be an indie at the moment. Being able to sustain our company was a pretty big deal."Conversely, McMaster and Strasser say the decision to put the game's console release on the Nintendo Switch was (mostly) an emotional choice rather than a business-driven one."It's a nice, cute little console that fits our game well," Strasser says. It can be very fickle, and success can feel a bit arbitrary at times."Success means we get to continue making games as we have been for as long as we can""From our perspective as developers who worked without a paycheck for a very long time, being able to make a decision before the game was even out that would ensure continued sustainability for our company and studio was very easy. We didn't want to assume that any interest in the game would automatically mean we were going to be selling a really successful game through Steam or any other platform.
