Ever wish you were a wall-jumping, arrow-dodging, trap-setting horse, besting your animal pals in a race through a peril-laden obstacle course that you all built together Wish Granted Ultimate Chicken Horse is a party platformer where you and your friends build the level as you play, placing deadly traps before trying to reach the end of the level. Inspired by the schoolyard basketball game H.o.r.s.e., Ultimate Chicken Horse has players alternate between placing traps, gadgets or platforms and running through their communal creation toward the goal.

He likes synaesthetic games, improvised music, and pancakes.Sorry, no review of Ultimate Chicken Horse yet. A lot of changes in gameplay modes were based on feedback we’d get from getting people to play it and make suggestions.Ĭorey, a recovering structural engineer from Minnesota, is studying game design at NYU. We’d go to a lot of small, local shows, and see how people were reacting. Richard: I think a lot of it was reacting to feedback and play-testing. Hopefully simultaneously, but we’ll see.Ĭorey: Is there a specific tool or methodology that you feel was important in shaping a unique characteristic of your game? ![]() Richard: Aiming to come out in the summer, on XBox One, PS4 and Switch. We figured they wouldn’t be interested because they already have Mario Maker, but they liked our game.Ĭorey: Oh, is Ultimate Chicken Horse coming out on the Switch?Īlex: We’re working on getting the game on all available consoles right now, yes. ![]() Richard: Later on, Nintendo approached us. It ended up being a Mario Maker, Incredible Machine, Meatboy… thing.Īlex: We actually started before Mario Maker was announced, so that was an interesting coincidence, but we get compared to that a lot. Richard: We weren’t really thinking about that when we were making it, but we get comparisons to “incredible machine” a lot. It’s sort of diverged from that as we were getting feedback, so it’s been tuned, but there’s still the idea of having a tight, precise platformer, which is important when you’re competing. Richard: It was also a test to see if we could work well together.Īlex : Yeah, we wanted to know how we functioned together before we started a company.Ĭorey: Can you describe a specific experience with another game or media that influenced you as you worked on Ultimate Chicken Horse?Īlex: The physics of the game were originally very Meatboy-inspired. ![]() We compromised somewhere in the middle of all of them. Originally there was an idea to have a dungeon crawler, but you’d act as the person who creates the dungeon, but we realized we were in a 48-hour game jam, so we had to change the scope.Īlex Attar: I was a culmination of a lot of ideas. So the idea was always that the player was building the level, rather than being the person who was running in the level. One of the game jam topics was ultimate, and another one was modularity. Richard Atlas: This project started as a 48 hour game jam. Learn more about the Game Center at GDC 2017.Ĭorey Bertelsen: What main concept, image or question began this project?
