Ah, Goose Game, a mix of Hitman and Mario 64!

When I first heard of this game I thought it was called “Entitled Goose Game” which is still true

Well, I hate to break it to you, but I emailed the devs' press email about a sequel and they said there were no plans for any sequels, DLC or even a game set in its universe. This video is amazingly well made for such a small channel though, keep it up, one day you'll be huge!

Can you imagine if they did a mashup with other game devs where the goose invaded other games. Honestly added the goose to games should just be a staple now. Can you imagine running through Elderscrolls 6 and the goose comes out of nowhere and steals your sword?

At art lessons in school we recently had to draw a poster. No matter the poster of what it was, just make it. I made a poster about this goose, and then my teacher actually said she played this game. It's THAT popular

Since seeing the Stardew Valley video, I've watched everything you've uploaded so far. I must say, I think you are headed for great success on RU-vid, or at least I hope so and believe you deserve it. You make extremely top quality content. It's interesting, compelling, well put-together, informative, properly structured, and just has that "thing", that "quality" about it that one can't necessarily put a finger on but that seems to be an early predictor of greatness. - I'm happy to be here from a relatively smaller sub count, even though I didn't really get to be here for the "beginning" I still feel like I'm being afforded the opportunity to watch the birth of a really great channel. I'm thrilled to have the opportunity to watch as you hone your craft and bring us closer and closer to the games and developers we love. - EDIT: Wow now that I read the comments it's obvious to me that many share this sentiment about your videos. See!? Your content is seriously top tier stuff man!

i blindly clicked on this video when i saw it on my recommdations and finished it. i scrolled down to like the video expecting it to have atleast 100k views and to my surprise it has less than that. your video was really well done and i hope you keep up the good work! oh and you've earned yourself a new subscriber :)

Initially, I was interested in the game as someone who wishes there were more games where you can play as a regular ol animal, doing regular ol animal things! One of my favorite flash games growing up was Fly Like a Bird 3, where you are a low poly pigeon flying around a city and get points for pooping on pedestrians and collecting sticks to build a nest to lay an egg. I think the "genre" of just playing as an animal is underrated, and more game devs should take a look at it!

House House also won the Australian Game of the Year and a few other awards at the Australian Game Design Awards during Melbourne International Games Week last year. I was lucky enough to meet the team behind the game and it was great chatting to them about the game and other indie related stuff. Their game is great and i look forward to see what they release next.

They should make this game in which you are a teacher and your goal in every level is to ignore students, walk away when they are walking towards you for questions and try to punish them as much as possible, not to mention the bonus levels in which you have to get through excursions and lose as much children as possible. Every time when you've completed a level, you will get more levels and go to a higher grade.

just found this in my recommendations and I don't regret clicking on this video. Super well-made! I already love the Untitled Goose Game on its own but having this much context on the indie game developers made me love it even more. Thank you for this well-researched and edited video

A indie game by 4 people selled more copies, than the flagship of one of the biggest developer in the the world, love it!

i hope the youtube algorithms will blow this up, great content! (at the time i'm watching, there's only 20k views)

Dude, I just realized you were a super small channel xD I love your content! The production value and care your put into your videos is awesome!

i cant wait for the sequal "Titled goose game" lol

hearing that these guys can keep making games made me smile a lot, nice video :)!

Yet another great video! Fantastic. The Goose Game has really attracked tons of attention, even as much as getting someone to program a desktop goose, that messes around with your stuff...

How the hell do you not have at least half a mil of subs binge watching all your videos and every single one did not disappoint keep it up man I love this type on content

Your videos are fantastic series to watch. I've already watched them all and I'm waiting for more!

This video went by quick. I really liked the pace in delivery

Great video. I watched and enjoyed all 13 minutes. Please keep putting effort into this type of content, especially if you enjoy making it. One question, at 11:15 did you mean 45 million people streaming it or 45 million people watching people stream it?

Post to r/mealtimevideos, this type of content bangs over there

I don't usually comment on videos at all, but I felt the need to tell you that I just finished watching all the videos you uploaded and I think they are awesome. I instantly subscribed and I'm looking forward to seeing more content :) I will share all the videos for sure! I wish you the best of luck with your channel!!!

Your videos are really underrated, and I liked your contents! It's about time for some channel dedicated to indie game histories, and I liked that I can connect with them this way. You earned a sub

How did they not think to call it “Entitled Goose” it fits perfectly as well, and is like a sidestep from “untitled.”

I just found out Geese have teeth. Mind blown.

I love your videos. Quality content. I hope your channel gets more views and subs

You don't have nearly enough subscribers for how good your content is, gonna share this with as many people as I can.

Great content even for a small channel. Nice job man good luck in your endeavors

From the first moment I learned of this years ago, I waited for it. And checked up every other month or so. For me it was the mixture of a naughty goose and the music and how it worked with the game

It's almost like when developers make something that they really like it turns out good

I was surprised to see this much attention to detail and style in such a small channel! Awesome content, I'm going to check out more - consider me subscribed!

damn glen mark my words braa... by this time next year... ur channel will be blowed up dude... ur content is way out of league for ur subs. glad to find ur channel cuz u rock it. loved ur vids at hollow knight, journey last guardian darkest dungeon. keep it up... u doing it the right way- greetings from argentina :D

wait what? only 40k of views? for an excellent content?... but this is so amazing dude! Now my friend, you gain a like, a share and suscriber, keep the wonderfull work.

Just want to echo what a lot of people are saying. You are making quality content that stands out from most gaming channels, and it's only a matter of time before you reach whatever goals you have set for yourself. Keep up the great work!:)

just found this channel today and u deserve more subs and views

While playing it I felt like I was inside a cartoon. Laugued a lot and the music only complements the comedy. I hope they continue in this direction.

I thought Brum was just a childhood fever dream until you showed it here. Did not expect that in a video about a goose (game).

Your videos are so good and well made!

"the goose was unstoppable"

your content is fantastic! i'm glad to subscribe and i wish you success

It’s amazing that a small indie studio with just 4 people gained so much success. Even better (from a personal perspective) is that the studio is? or at least based in Australia. We need more attention and a boost in game development down here! :D

The studio's games style are fluid & delicious.

Untitled Goose Game is awesome.

8:53 Peace was never an option

Nice, your channel have subtitles

This is inspiring, it shows that people want to mess around like kids in a playground which is our world. I’m not sure why there are so few of these kinds of games.

This was the first time my mom enjoyed, laugh, and kept playing a video game, can’t wait for the multiplayer so we can play it together

I have actually never heard of the game prior to today! You sold me on it though, Already bought it and playing it as soon as the download finishes!

Postman Pat, Fireman Sam and Brum were all my shit as a kid. No wonder I like Untitled Goose Game so much.

I love dev storys like this

It was such a fun game, and how it seems absolutely frivolous until you actually learn your character's motivations and why the townspeople hate the goose is revealed. it was surprisingly good

I wouldn't mind seeing a video of the Steamworld Dig games. I've been a big fan of the franchise.

When a company already took the name House, but you just write House House instead.

very nice story and and great told - thank you

This entire thing is like an inside joke that we can laugh at with the development team.

it seems as if there's been a lot of dark, gritty, serious type of games these past few years, maybe because a lot of developers/publishers think gamers mainly want that stuff, but like with life itself, you need to be able to take a break from those things once in a while and just have some laughs. To be able to appreciate the finer things in life, to reflect and ju- *HONK!*

When I saw the title, I literally had a spit take

Postman Pat! I love it so much! Pure nostalgia and sadness!

I just love it when a game like this ends up being successful. Silly, wholesome fun

UGG is definitely the love child of Hitman and Mario :D

This video made me genuinely happy

This is the first game my dad has played since the early 2000s he really enjoyed it

You, ma boi, are underrated

Just because of this and memes I now love geese

You know it's funny that hitman did have a goose game Easter egg also people talking about this game for a while

Boy, I can't wait until you finally tell us how the Plumbus is made.

nice video but please get a softer mic, it sounds very echoy and hard at the moment x

I knew of the game, but I never knew the title of the game until today. Seems like peace really was never an option... I'm looking at you RU-vid recommendations.

is there a full video of rudeism playing the game? i would love to see the full thing

Fun fact: untitled Goose Game most likely takes place in Lincolnshire, a county in the UK, and where I was born and raised

This Guy, Called Glen. Makes pretty good content.

The goose snatched the popularity

Very good stuff here...i actually didn't believe you have less than 100k subs...well, you have a sub in me now...hope to see more from you

You know, sometimes, just sometimes, I love the Internet.

With such a short game based on a single mechanic, I doubt they will have more sales as people have already seen the gameplay when it releases on PC. It should be relatively easy to port to several platforms with Unity, so maybe they hope for double dipping sales?

This channel is awesome.

Man I think it'll be hard for them to follow this up. Just hope they don't get discouraged if their next game isn't a hit.

I can’t wait to tell my friends about how Untitled Goose Game was inspired by Postman Pat

Really good video

1:36 dammit. Why didn’t I think of that way to take the groundskeeper’s hat? 🤦‍♂️

Still waiting for the game on Steam... I find this extremely funny because I had to wait for a long time for Hollow Knight to come to PS4 and now when I switch over to PC, I now have to wait for Untitled Goose Game....

Masters of the meme, they have all my respect

If they ever make a sequel I hope it is called "titled goose game"

PEACE WAS NEVER AN OPTION

This makes me so happy :)

Bruh how are you only at 18k bruh

Great video!

Im a gamer and this is the first time i heard of this game

This game was so satisfying.

I remember watching the first "trailer". I was suprised when it became the official title! I just hope they will continue to make more unusual games. This game is perfect as it is. It's fun because it's simple. No need to add complex gameplay or big story. Let it be simple. Very interesing video!

1:33 HouseHouse is Blender Gang confirmed!

so the game trailer had actual gameplay featured, i thought it was impossible.

... ... ... ... is it bad that I only heard of this game once quarantine started?

I have a software project and that games is the only PcSoftware that do what im searching to do for month lmao Im currently taking imspiration of a single feature :P

It was so popular it got multiplayer coop

In Fallout 4, I made the kid in the baseball stadium city, buy back his own stuff from me. In Untitled Goose Game, I made the kid buy back his plane multiple times. It was hilarious! XD

How am I just now hearing about this game?

We now have 2 player coop.
