After this week’s Indie World Presentation, Nintendo’s Indie World Twitter account asked fans to send any questions they have for House House, the developers of last year’s cult-flock-hit Untilted Goose Game. They shared that they, Indie World, would ask House House some during an hour-long Q&A tweet honk-a-thon later in the week. We’re past Thursday, August 20th (the day for the Q&A), so here’s everything that House House answered!
“Two-player always sounded fun to us, but we decided to focus all our work on single player for our original launch. Knowing how much people enjoyed the single player definitely kept us excited about continuing work on two-player!”https://t.co/lhBSArZZyM

“We initially announced the game as untitled because we wanted to make it very clear that “Untitled Goose Game” WASN’T going to be the real title! But we quickly came to love it, and would never want to give it a ‘proper’ title.”https://t.co/SpX9jocuWk

“Our favourite runner-up title has always been “Some Like It Honk,” probably because it’s only funny to us and no one else.”https://t.co/h3dpVDnJ8m

“You could absolutely play competitively if you wanted to, but you’d have to keep track of who’s winning yourself. Part of why we love local coop is that you can create your own games and rules while you play.”https://t.co/wGO22xcbSM

“When we made that trailer, we were still experimenting with what we wanted the game to be. Afterwards we decided to focus all our work on the single player game for the initial release. We are very happy that we finally got to make two player happen!”https://t.co/4A5wFzPG9I

“We’re afraid not. We had to lock in the physical release build long before two-player was stable enough.
As long as you can connect to the internet on your Nintendo Switch the game will update itself.”https://t.co/Z24IFXYd7T

“Honestly, not at all! We just happened to notice how strongly everyone else seemed to feel about geese. We’ve had nothing but nice experiences with geese.”https://t.co/olHw2jW4Ki pic.twitter.com/zUWkeRNnLx

“It’s a bit overwhelming to think about!
We feel incredibly grateful that our work has made such a positive impression on so many people. We’re still a little weirded out that people have gotten goose tattoos though.”https://t.co/U2Y5McjHbt

Sadly, no official word or comment on the possibility of Beaker from the Muppets DLC. Geoff Keighley, work your interviewing magic, please! We need to hear his “meeps” and “Mee-mee-mee mees” officially, in-game!
