it just became available for pre-order.  do yourself a favor and go get your crayons right now… you’ll be saving $5 off the full release price AND you’ll be supporting the incredibly talented petri purho.  crayon physics will also be releasing drm-free.  why are you still reading this blog? go!

yes, we’re finally starting to work on it!  no release date yet, but we’re having a friendly contest on our forum to come up with ambiguous obscenities, light hearted profanity, and entertaining exclamations.

the writers of our 5 favorites will get a boxed version of world of goo signed by both of us

this contest is rated N for NOBODY.  please keep away from small children, household pets, and sensitive electronic equipment.

Update from Kyle: Remember guys,  keep it cute and classy. Creativity and clever wording is what we’re looking for. Think … Spring in Springfield and “that little extra spice”. (can anyone find a video clip of that online? FOX must have declared war on youtube!)

we keep getting blown away by the amount of love and effort people put into goo related stuff:

• zark92 recently started developing a level editor as an open source project on sourceforge.
• maks verver (roommate of master goo builder marius) put up a page where you can upload your saved games and have your tower rendered out for the world to see (don’t forget to check out the top 10 tallest towers)
• also up is a wiki-based world of goo translation project… not sure who created this one, but by the url i imagine maks and marius might have had something to do with it (if i got this wrong, let me know, i want to give the right person credit)
• Update: And if you’re stuck on a level, there’s a wonderfully organized blog with a video walkthrough of every level. Thanks Tom!
• another update: david croft put up a modding page at goofans.com, rock!

to everyone involved with these projects, especially those geniuses who started them, big thanks from both of us.  our hearts swell with gratitude and our jaws are on the floor in awe.
