What in the hell is happening in this Goat Simulator space DLC

Goat Simulator developer Coffee Stain Studios has announced a new DLC called Waste of Space, launching May 26 for Android, iOS and PC.

As you'll see in the trailer above, the add-on introduces a new environment and heaps of new assets to the strange little physics sandbox some people* might call the natural spiritual successor to Skate 3.

It also seems to have some sort of plot involving crowdfunding and a space colony, but we're not certain. To be honest, Coffee Stain's communications on this matter are rarely any more clear than its public-facing materials, and we kind of like that.

"In Waste of Space, you get to beat or trick people into crowdfunding you their hard-earned money, and then spend it on your own dreams of being a space McGyver in space or whatever space nerds do instead of huffing paint in their underwear like normal people," the developer said. Here's the feature list:

  • Visit space today or get old waiting for that other space game that you already paid for
  • Crowdfund a space colony and get other people to pay for it and do all the work!
  • Endless space full of planets to visit. but seriously it would take forever to go there so why bother
  • There is one planet nearby though. Go to that one
  • Fly and shoot stuff in space, because nobody makes games about flying and shooting in space anymore
  • Learn how to be a real bridge commander like that spock dude from mars or whatever
  • The biggest map in goat simulator history, filled to the brim with all kinds of crazy**
  • No crew member will be left unromanced ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
