Q: Did your previous work on games such as Kunai have any tangible impact on Mighty Goose, except that both games featuring similarly goofy mascots?Ī: In the broad sense it definitely helps to experience the full development process of a game. When UGG came out I was kind of facing a dilemma, should I change my character to a duck or something? In the end, I'm glad we kept the goose, I think there's room for another goose in gaming. At the time I thought my character was super cool and original, "a goose main character wow!" Of course, I didn't know Untitled Goose Game was in development. One of those characters was Mighty Goose, a goose wearing power armor. Q: How did you have the idea for using a goose as a mascot?Ī: I sketch a lot of silly characters in those small Moleskine-style books. So total development took about two years. It took another 1.5 years to develop the game to completion. The project became more serious and we hired a freelance composer, got an external QA team, and signed up with the publisher Playism. After which the ambitions changed quite a bit due to running into MP2 Games, which offered to port the game to consoles. Q: How long have you been working on the game?Ī: I had been working on the game at solo capacity for about half a year.

Game Rant sat down with Mighty Goose's solo developer Richard Lems to talk about the game. A 2D run-and-gun shooter where players take on the role of a bounty hunter goose, Mighty Goose seems to be checking all the boxes when it comes to creating a nostalgic arcade-y experience. One such developer is Blastmode, which has been toiling away at Mighty Goose for some time now. Many indie developers have sought to recreate such experiences for fans, with varying degrees of success. While modern shooters such as Returnal and Doom Eternal have garnered critical and commercial acclaim, many still look fondly back to the older days of Contra and Metal Slug. Run-and-gun shooters have been one of the prominent genres in gaming, evolving considerably over time.
