14 DAY TRIAL // Coffee Stain Studios just developed an April Fools joke that's alive and kicking on many people's computers, in the form of the zany Goat Simulator, a glitchy game that started as tomfoolery inside the studio, but eventually allowed the Internet to manifest its will and became a real thing.
And it doesn't stop there, as the developers have announced that Goat Simulator will be getting split-screen multiplayer as a free add-on sometime during May, as well as another map that is roughly the size of the original one.
"A lot of people have been asking for DLC with new maps for Goat Simulator, but we would feel bad charging people for DLC content when people can just download new stuff for free from the Steam Workshop, so we decided to do a free update instead," said Coffee Stain's Armin Ibrisagic.
Although it's disputable whether the unpolished joke-game is worth its asking price, the truth is that at least the developers are honest about it, and there are many games out there which offer less entertainment for the same cost. Also, there really aren't many games that cast a revealing light on what it really means to be a goat in today's society.
The 1.1 update will also include some new playable goats, achievements and more features, and is scheduled to come out in mid-May.
