Triband explains how they perfected the humor of What the Golf?

Trial by fire

GN Version 5.0

Triband, the team behind What the Golf?, has created one hell of a unique golf game. Not only does it twist the game of golf in a million different directions, it also does all this while making the player laugh. Wondering how the team managed to make such a funny game? Triband themselves explained in a Gamasutra interview.

We did what all standup comedians do, we took the game on the road. We showed it on conferences, tested it and noted what people found funny, and kept banging on it to see if we could make it better. If you test any game with a game tester they rarely say what they dislike. They sit there in your office, eating and drinking whatever you gave them, and they really want to please you. So they won’t tell you if your game sucks. On the show floor, you just to stand back and watch if they laugh, and if they come back with a friend you know you got something.
