Is this an April's fool?

[Mod S]

Yea, it's 1st April. So i got some questions:

1:Is this a joke?

2:How does anybody come up with this?

3:Will this game be banned because animals are hurt in it?

[Albino Noodle]

I'm left wondering what actually happens if you buy it, do they just send you a "haha got ya message" or what?

Since when do you hurt animals by killing playing a pixel animal?

Well.. Just to take this particular point of debate further.

About one third into the trailer video, it could be seen as a car with a goat trailing it by a rope while the car is doing some off roading and the goat just being dragged behind it. With the game being said as "simulate the life of a goat" this could in combination be constructed as if the game front page is claiming "the life of a goat" should include animal abuse.

That's how these cases usually work, anyway.

You're welcome.

:poohappy:

The goat's tongue actually. It is sticky and stretchy. And deadly apparently XD

I didn't like how he was looking at me. He might have tried to jack with my sweet roll collection.

Yeah in the screenshots it looks like the goat was being pretty perverted with that long tongue LOL

you just get the game, its a real game and not a joke, just check on youtube to see vids of the game being played or something if you dont believe it.

It's not a joke, this goat simulation idea had been around for some while, until the developers announced it. I don't know where exactly it began at. Someone was probably going ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ over the simulation games on Steam lately, and someone said "Uhh, why not make a goat simulator?", and the devs basically replied "Hell yeah, why not?!". Or so the story seems to go.

I don't know what to think of it. The negative reviews say all I need to know not to buy it, and the gameplay idea itself had been seen before in other games. It's a joke, yeah I get it, but I don't think it's one I will spend 10 EUR for.

I hope this running gag won't be round for too long. I'm getting kinda sick of all the Portal and Half-Life 2 references in some indie games I had been playing recently already. There are even AAA titles that can't stop from shooting them (Darksiders 2).

[Danksama]

Jeez, too many people have asked if this is an April Fools joke. There is proof throughout the Internet that it isn't.

[Misa Campo]

3) Hell no! There are animals in many games where u have to kill them for food ors. Tomb Raider, Battlefield, COD, MINECRAFT and so on.. why ban? wtf question dude

[endothlyne]

Its made by the same devs that did the sanctum games. Crazy bunch lol

If PETA or any other animal rights group freaks out about this they're really losing it. Might as well go after Maxis for the Sims too, or ZeniMax because I killed a wolf in ESO last night.

Goat Simulator is godly.

You know those dumb***** will freak out. XD Those sensitive idiots don't know ****! They will do whatever it takes, they even made violent comics to give to children in order to spread animal abuse! LMAO
They're all against zoos for protrecting endangered creatures as well. Go figure, idiots will be idiots.

[blueybean]

April fools joke would be less obvious if the game would be an early access alpha version for 69,99€.

[dreamy]

Virtual animals can't be hurt is all I have to say.

[Hexorcist]

This is the first game that includes free Ram.

[OKMB]

For number 3, PETA will be all over this, saying the game industry is evil and their usual bull.
