Goat Easter Egg + Shortcut

[Kenajcrap]

I think I'm the first one to publish this Easter Egg on anywhere and i am really exited about discovering it alone on the first playthrough :D

Anyways, the Easter Egg is located on the roof of the second area of te map sp_a2_underbounce on Chapter 2 you have to do a little strafe to be able to get on the roof after the bounce on the first part.
While testing the area i discovered a little shortcut too, so i thought it would be nice to put the two of them together.
My video explains it a little better:

Sorry for the quality, my PC is not that good...

EDIT1:

The developer Lpfreaky90 said there are multiple goats on the game, and infamous'Cynic just found another one:

That is awesome :D

I'd like to mention there's a nice callout to Aperture Tag in the beginning of the game.

Go to any of the Aperture Cola vending machines, and the 5th one down says "Citranium Soda".
In Aperture Tag, instead of cake, you're after a soda called Citranium. Turns out that *spoiler alert*, the Citranium is, in fact, not a lie. You just get killed afterwards.

Hey, the mod's been out for a year, not my fault you haven't played it.

Anyways, it's still a nice easter egg, none the less.

why is the goat anatomically correct

Funny story about that goat. Someone (I think it was Znernicus) added this to the bugtracker. The devlopers could just as easily have added an invisible wall or something (seriously, it takes 30 seconds in Hammer). But no, instead of that they went the extra mile to 3d-model a goat, add it to the files, and hide it up there. The shortcut still works as Znernicus first reported it afaik.

It's my favorite thing.

I know right? i love this type of non-sense easter egg, because it makes you imagine what was going through the dev's head while making it. Usually it is some kind of inside joke that we will never know about

I wonder what is the full story behind this one...

[solus]

I got that exact same glitch. It was strange. I imagine that was a glitch or something.

tempted to make an HD version of your video....

Spoiler; there are more goats than just that one...

It's the same time either way so it can be factored out.

I found the same goat Infamous'Cynic did, except I got to the roof....... by accident.

So, this turned up to be a bad idea as instead of getting to the exit, i got to the roof.

That texture tho...

so, now we have two goats on the first 2 Chapters of the game, i wonder if there are any on the new aperture part... i found numerous "secret" locations there but turns out that they were just some "forgot to put toggle damage" locations

What do you mean with 'adding it to the bugtracker'? I still don't get what would be the purpose of that goat or even an invisible wall as you mentioned. Would it be to mark bugged spots or something, like putting an unique object in the map so it's easily trackeable? I have been messing with mapping a few times so I just got curious (that reminds me I have a Portal 2 map waiting to be finished.. *sighs*).
