Ex GTA developer’s new game is like Halloween mixed with golf

Grand Theft Auto. Crimson Useless Redemption. Ant Workshop founder Tony Gowland has contributed to a few of the finest tales in videogame historical past. Each Rockstar video games are a far cry from the colourful, multiplayer world of Dungeon Golf, although, so PCGamesN caught up with Gowland to ask what impressed Ant Workshop’s chaotic new social gathering sport.

Dungeon Golf, in spite of everything, appears to be like like pure unadulterated enjoyable. Having seen individuals enjoying it on the Video games for Weans occasion in Glasgow, UK, it appears to be like like the right multiplayer game for spooky season.

It is rather completely different from the huge expanses of 1911 America and the notorious Vice Metropolis, although, so I ask Gowland why the crew selected to go in such a special route.

“After Rockstar, and dealing at Activision for a bit on Name of Obligation, I actually wished to get again into making issues which are smaller and sillier,” he tells PCGamesN. “It occurred to me just lately that the entire builders I like from my childhood – the Workforce 17s and the Smart Softwares – had an actual recognisable vibe to their video games even when they have been in numerous genres, and so they have been by no means nervous about being a bit daft and humorous.

“I’m an enormous fan of minigolf and have wished to make a minigolf sport ever since a household vacation the place I used to be enjoying with my younger children, my teenage nephews and niece, and my [REDACTED] 12 months previous mum,” he continues, and I can really feel him smiling as he varieties. “It actually struck me the way it’s a sport that crosses generations and has talent but in addition sufficient lunch that everybody can get entangled.”

All of Ant Workshop’s earlier adventures have been single-player games, although, and Gowland’s work at Rockstar is identical. He admits that “multiplayer has actually been a little bit of a steep studying curve for us,” however that “with the sport Dungeon Golf was shaping as much as be, it actually felt like multiplayer could be a very necessary half – that knock-about ‘mess with your folks’ vibe simply offers it precisely the silliness we wished.”

And, truthfully, I like me a bit little bit of silliness. As somebody who tendencies in direction of hyper-competitive experiences like League of Legends or, alternatively, doom and gloom story games like Plague Story, generally it’s good to only have enjoyable. With Dungeon Golf’s new Halloween update, Undead Lair, out within the wild simply in time for spooky season, now’s the right time to pick up the sport by way of Steam and check out it out for your self.

If you happen to’re searching for one thing a bit extra terrifying, although, we now have a listing of one of the best horror games on PC, or, alternatively, a rundown of one of the best free Steam PC games to maintain you occupied because the nights develop longer.
