Then it went full circle with the team watching what was going on and feeding it back into the game. As a developer, one cannot ask for a bigger reward, it’s simply mind-blowing and the reason why we keep on doing what we do every day. First and foremost, it’s incredibly humbling and amazing to see how much love is out there for the game through YouTube, and to witness it becoming the theme for so many different videos, parodies, cartoons, songs and jokes. What do you think?Ībsolutely spot on, Surgeon wouldn’t be anywhere without the YouTube community. We have this saying ‘where one cannot make a fun game if he’s not having fun while making it’, and it turns out that Surgeon is the perfect example of this motto: the team had a blast making it, both during the jam and full production, this filtered down to the players, no questions asked!Īnd yours was amongst the first games we can say was mainly successful down to Youtube and Twitch, which is one posited future of all media. Surgeon Simulator also never took itself seriously. This was crucial for the success it achieved on YouTube and Twitch, making the Let’s Play videos cool to watch no matter if you were into the game to begin with. One of the strongest aspects of the game is that it’s as fun to watch as it’s to play, failing in Surgeon (and you fail a lot in it) is as funny as it gets. In the end, like everything that goes incredibly well (or horribly wrong), is usually a ‘perfect storm’ scenario where several factors work together amplifying each other. It’s difficult to pin down a single factor to justify its success, we’ve spent quite some time looking back at Surgeon’s story trying to learn from it as much as we can. Why did an incapability simulator take off so well? You went from a 48 hour game jam to one of the fastest ever greenlight campaigns to huge commercial success. The team decided to take it literally and, by embracing the blunt approach to the motif, humour became the focus of the game. Surgeon Simulator came out of the Global Game Jam in early January 2013, where the given theme was ‘heartbeat’.

It’s an interview with Bossa Studio’s founder Henrique Olifiers.Ĭan you quickly run me through the history of the game? A small glitch might be frustrating for serious builders but other than that, this game is pure fun.This interview was for an Edge Online piece, which was forgotten about many moons ago, in November 2013. It has different modes for a range of medical simulation games. Its range of tools and quests are enjoyable and realistic–often given a cartoonish, funny twist. While surgery is a serious, life-saving profession, Surgeon Simulator 2 gives it a lighter face by letting players have a physics-based experience tinkering with the human body.

However, Creation Mode could use more straightening out as the placement of some items are glitchy, with objects flickering when you try to position them. It’s a fun and relaxing experience for sandbox fans fond of building like Minecraft or Roblox. You’re also the handyman who will create the stage for your surgeries in the Creation Mode. This creates a weirdly educational and enjoyable experience. Complete as many tasks as you can in the given time frame, and challenges vary from the technically accurate to the outright crazy. With the fast-paced and frenzied Competitive Mode, you can play with your friends or other people online. However, the game isn’t limited to saving lives and making sure you don’t mix body parts up. In this option, you can go solo or work together with friends to successfully transplant organs, stitch wounds, and generally make sure Bob–the game’s default patient model– survives and doesn’t bleed out in your surgery room. While most simulators like Surgeon Simulator 2 are fun and casual games with no need for story, this one takes a different path by offering a serious Story Mode.
