The Makers of World of Goo aren't Resting on Their Laurels

  Last year, the independent developer 2D Boy released World of Goo. The critically adored title evolved from Kyle Gabler's similarly named Tower of Goo, which had been made in just four days as part of the Experimental Gameplay Project.    


On the Experimental Gameplay Website, Gabler explained that he is working on a new title based on another of his previous endeavors. Those helping Gabler include Allan Blomquist who assisted in porting World of Goo to Wii, and Kyle Gray the creator of Henry Hatsworth.      


Gabler wasn't willing to divulge too many details about the game because he isn't positive the final result will turn out well. He wrote, "ItÂ’s probably best not to speak about it in more detail prematurely in case the game doesnÂ’t evolve as we hope and we need to shoot that baby in the crib. ItÂ’s all just a fun experiment at the moment."    


While Gabler was not willing to reveal what platform the new title was destined for, he did mention the Wii as one the possibilities. In addition, the game is not being made by 2D Boy or Gabler's former employer Electronic Arts. "This new adventure is purely a fun, small, experimental project that three experimental friends are making in our spare time," wrote Gabler.

So judging by the picture, it's about a disco robot with an Afro and handlebar mustache? Nice.

I'm happy with thinking pokepal148 is just eating a stick of butter. It seems about right for him. I don't need no stinking facts.

It's Frobot. I'm a bit confused though because I think I've seen a trailer for a WiiWare game called Frobot recently and I'm not sure it's the same one.
