So Jingle Balls seems to have become quite a success. Although not quite as polished as we'd wanted due to time constraints (we couldn't convince Santa to move Christmas), we've learned a lot for our next developments.
If you weren't able to play the level or are interested in seeing the walkthrough, videos of both the normal and the OCD solutions follow. Read more to watch them.
'Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse.
The Goo Balls were nestled all snug by the fire.
In hope of avoiding the Sign Painter's ire.
Fat chance.
I'm very excited to announce the release of "Jingle Balls", a new level developed by Sébastien Kerguen, Cosmin Mirza and myself.
Check out the trailer and download the new level here. We hope you enjoy it.
Merry Christmas!
It's been a while since I've posted, what with work, a significant birthday (I'm now officially old) and a rather nasty rootkit trojan. So here's a quick update.
First off is a treat from spazturtle: Santa hats for your Goo Balls and a wintry World of Goo Corporation. Mod available at http://goofans.com/download
World of Goo is now out in some stores in Germany a day early, although unfortunately tucked away in the budget section. I bought some copies anyway to teach them a lesson. The moon chapter is conspicuously absent. Hopefully it'll be available in a sequel or download at a later date.
Read on for more.
Welcome to GooFans.com, what I hope will become a central resource for World of Goo customization and development.
What we have here so far is GooTool, a program I've written to mod World of Goo and extract data from it, a description of the addin file format used, and discussion forums for development of both addins and GooTool itself.
In the future this site will also have a download section for (automatic or manual) download of mods and levels. I'm also working on a profile section where your achievements and tower data/image from GooTool are uploaded and optionally shared with the the world. I'm also keen to hear any other suggestions you may have. Leave a comment or head over to the forum.
