World of Goo Comes Out…
Valentine’s Day ‘08. We (all two of us) are working our little hearts out to finish the PC version by Feb 14 so you can give the gift of Goo!
Mac / Linux should follow shortly.
And the version for Wii slightly after that, with help from our buddy and genius Allan Blomquist.
Pre-Ordering for PC versions is available! Do indie games ever do the pre-order thing? Anyway, we are! Pre-orderers get extra stuff too - like option to do some beta testing if you want, (beta testers get their name in the credits), and a complimentary revolutionary Profanity Pack TM for replacing voices in the game with naughty words. More info here.
In other news, we did an interview at TigerSauce. Thanks, Steve!

Nice :)
Will there be pre-ordering with added juice for the Linux-version, too?
(and: why will it “follow shortly”? Isn’t it a simple act of compiling on a linux box?)

Yeah, you can pre-order for linux and mac, (the pre-order button doesn’t actually care which platform you use) and you get all the same succulent juice as PC users. We just didn’t want to promise the same deadline as the PC version since we really don’t know how long it will take to port. And you’re right, it’s probably quick and easy, especially since we’ve been using only cross platform libraries.
In fact, if you are a linux or mac user, we could really use your help beta testing!

Ahh, was just gonna ask if we can pre-order for linux. I’ll do so :)

Hey, fellas! I just found the game through the IGF Finalists Page, and I’ve got to say that you’ve done a great job so far! Keep it up, and good luck!

Pre-orderererered! Been excited since the game was first announced and you can thank Rock Paper Shotgun for bringing me here on this particular day ;)
