Sometimes, you simply need to throw every part right into a gap. Sometimes, somebody makes a game the place you are able to do that. As a raccoon.
Ben Esposito (of Arcane Kids fame) has spent the previous 5 years tuning up Donut County, transforming it from a puzzler about reflecting Native American Hopi tradition to a puzzler about reflecting a raccoon’s need to mess with stuff. Both the game and John’s overview will come out later at this time, however right here’s a trailer to tide you over.
I like that geese-bothering on the finish, which I’m selecting to learn as a nod in direction of Untitled Goose Game. Maybe the devs will get collectively to make a sequel the place their irritating creatures are first pitted in opposition to one another, however then staff as much as unleash their fury on an unprepared world. I do know the goose from Untitled Goose Game solely needs to make itself a pleasant picnic, however its cavalier disregard for the property and dignity of farmers suggests a darker aspect.
It’d be multiplayer, clearly. If squawking at folks till they again up into bottomless voids isn’t your concept of time, then I guess you’re a bore at events. If the devs are studying this and that game truly will get made, I’m counting it as my single best contribution to society.
In Donut County, a non-imaginary game, you spend a part of your time sucking down detritus/very important infrastructure and a part of your time belching it again as much as remedy puzzles. I image the principle pleasure of it stemming from playful mucking about, however look: a narrative!
“Raccoons have taken over Donut County with remote-controlled trash-stealing holes. You play as BK, a hole-driving raccoon who swallows up his associates and their houses to earn idiotic prizes.
“When BK falls into one in every of his personal holes, he’s confronted by his greatest good friend Mira and the residents of Donut County, who’re all caught 999 ft underground… and so they demand solutions!”
I’m undecided if this is without doubt one of the questions they’re asking, but when this has received you questioning what a gap is then here’s an excellent article that ought to clear issues up.
If you’re questioning whether or not Donut County is definitely any good, then John’s overview ought to reply that a little bit later.
