World of Goo was awesome, one of my favourite games of all time. I dream of seeing a new World of Goo title. My dreams may, just may, come true.

2D Boy’s amazing World of Goo turned a year old last week and since then, and until this Sunday, they have been running an experiment where you can buy World of Goo for any price you want.

With certain new games set for release at ever higher prices, while others (such as Men of War) have a distinctly lower price point and regular sales, it seems time (as ever, I suppose though) to think about what games should cost. Rather than blathering on in an opinionated fashion, I did a little survey, firing off a short list of questions to a section of The Reticule’s eminent friends in development to see what they thought about it.

It has been 8 months since the launch of World of Goo by Ron Carmel and Kyle Gabler more commonly known as 2D Boy. I recently had a quick catch up with them both about the success of World of Goo and what they are planning on doing next.

Interesting figures have emerged regarding the Linux release of World of Goo. 2D Boy have revealed that more copies were sold on their website on the Linux release day than any other day. They beat the previous record by 40%

After a long wait all you European World of Goo fans can now buy the game. It is available right now on Steam and amazon.de as well as a host of retail outlets. The game is retailing for €20 and Ron Carmel has said that they are looking at getting the game on the UK amazon site as well.

Good news for all the European fans of World of Goo, 2D Boy have managed to change some things with their Euro publisher, RTL Games. As such the game will be coming to Wii Ware and the PC in both retail and digital formats sometime towards the end of December.

The PC version of the game will cost €19.99 at retail and it will also be coming back onto Steam in Europe.

There is some bad news however, as of right now that mysterious “6th Chapter” will not be included in the European retail release as was originally planned. The boys want to keep all versions of the game the same wherever possible.

When I asked Kyle further about this “6th Chapter” he revealed the following:

It’s possible it will never come out. It’s also possible that it will come out as an expansion for all versions of the game, at the same time, available to all regions. The thing I feel great about, though, is that we can finally say that there is one and only one definitive version of World of Goo, available to everyone.
