GOAT

About

​

GOAT is an absurdist visual novel made in the Ren'Py engine about what it means to be great. The story follows the player character appearing at the end of all space and time, to finally answer the question of who is the greatest of all time.  

​

I made this game over a weekend, primarily as a challenge to learn the Ren'Py engine, but also to riff upon the endless conversations that are had about who is the GOAT of various sports/disciplines. This is a conversation that seems increasingly prevalent, so I wanted to highlight its ridiculousness by making a game about greatness that was essentially nonsensical.

Role

​

This was a solo game that I built myself. I learned some rudimentary python to make some of the games features work, but mainly it is a choice based visual novel. The art is an assortment of random free materials I found across the internet, and the music is co-composed by myself and a composer I have worked with extensively called Sean Ryan.
