How can he be so cool about his masterpiece? Best game I've played in 2 years, insanely well thought out
:)
Does anyone know if he's written out a full explanation for the story/symbolism anywhere? I would actually kill for such a treatment. This game has haunted my imagination for years. It's the only game I've ever played that I would consider not only art, but poetry. It's like looking into someone's dream, a half-remembered scene from childhood. I half-believe it holds the key to the universe.
See his GDC presentation for a lot of that.
@@Freyathrithis there one? I have searched and found nothing, sadly. If you have the link or a title, could you please share it? This game is just so interesting to analyze!

I am just in awe of the talent (genius, really) and the insane load of labor (of love!) behind this game. A masterpiece. It won't age, but how will he follow this up?
Gorogoa is one of the most singular works of art I've experienced in any medium. It's amazing to hear how frequently he made his task harder in order to produce a better set of puzzles. The result manages to be inscrutable, fantastical, yet universal and moving. I admire people who have the skills to produce something, but also the faith that their years of efforts and iterations will be fruitful. I can't wait to see what he does next.
Another big lesson germane to game design is to look out how varied and idiosyncratic his influences were. So many games seem to mainly reference other games, like Oscar bait movies-about-movies. Artists are enriched by exploring not just other mediums, but by living life away from all mediums and bringing those experiences to their work. Because games are primarily commerce rather than art and mostly intentionally derivative, and because the digital means or production are less commonly taught in art schools, we have too few sui generis works like Gorogoa.
I just bought this gem (£3.59 on xbox live). No hyperbole; I was intrigued, astonished and mesmerised until bedtime. Now maybe I will dream like one who's been looking at the work of M.C. Escher, using fractal generator, and reading Antoine de Saint-Exupéry. Give this man money, support and freedom to create more!
All these influences show so much! Thank you for the generosity of spreading them out like this to share such wonderful inspiration!
brilliant game and thoughtful presentation
It's strange that there were no questions about the symbolism and mystic background of the game.
I agree. The game is so rich in clear Dharmic/Eastern, religious symbolism you could it use to teach a class on spirituality or something. It's almost like a religious text in its own right, imo.
To be fair, it's a design talk.
Gracias por crear Gorogoa!! ❤❤
I just played that game today and I'm super excited.!!!! I want more.!!!!!!so cool
Oh gosh, Ico was amazing. And so was Gorogoa. Now that I know, I'm not surprised one helped influence the other.
So does anyone know what his next game is?
I feel like Roberts is my (platonic) soulmate. I've never seen someone whose aesthetic tastes (and some of his specific inspirations!) align so closely with my own. I want to talk to him about Gorogoa for hours.
Why do you have Oswald Mosley as your profile picture?
Excellent game
I am trying to contact Mr. Roberts.
Do it!
He showed his email at the end of his presentation
