Introducing the Appeals and Interventions Team and a Special Announcement
Hi, Everyone.
A couple of announcements for today:
We are making a change to the in-game Appeals and Intervention(Bans) process. There is now a team of reviewers who will be applying the bans on a very regular cadence. This team does not work through discord and you will be unable to ping anyone regarding bans and appeals.
We are working on a new system for appeals, but for now, please continue to use the form https://dyno.gg/form/5265c968. You will no longer be able to see the appeal once it has been submitted.
From your feedback, one of the things we know we want to improve is the amount of detail given for bans and an easier way to contact us if you feel there has been an error. Until we release that feature, please continue to check in-game to see if you are unbanned after making an appeal.
DO NOT ping Lemming,* AA_DavidN**,** AA_DavidY*** regarding appeals and bans. We are not part of the review team and will not be able to help you.
Please do not ping has sticks or ** has twigs** They are not part of the review team. This will not make the process any faster, and may delay your appeal.
Special Announcement:
We are very happy to announce @lavish forge as the official Community Manager for Gorilla Tag. We have had a chance to get to know and work closely with Electronic and I truly admire his process and how he has conducted himself. In this role, he will officially represent Gorilla Tag to the community. It is also his responsibility to officially represent the community to the development team and to be your voice as we plan out features and updates.
Please join me in congratulating Electronic. It has been a pleasure working with him and we look forward to building great things together.

it appears to be an issue with photon servers - there was a similar issue that happened earlier this year. hopefully it doesn't last too much longer, i'm looking into it more
if you wait a bit in the tree room and then try to go outside a few times, you might be able to get in every so often. game rooms still seem ok

looks like the player count is trending back up, things might be stabilizing again. worth giving it another shot!

Hi, everyone.
As we mentioned about a month ago, we're making changes and updates to the way that Appeals and Interventions work for Gorilla Tag. As a follow-up for the Appeals and Intervention Team being established, we are setting a new rule for the discord that any posts about specific bans and/or appeals are not allowed on our public channels. All appeals are to be handled through the form (https://dyno.gg/form/5265c968) looked at by the Appeals Team.
We are extremely grateful for our Moderators and the work that they do.
The Moderators on Discord have no ability to affect in-game Bans or Appeals. Those decisions are 100% handled by the Appeals and Intervention Team at Another Axiom. Moderators do not issue in-game bans or review appeals. We will be removing any posts or discussions around bans and appeals. As a general rule, we will not publicly discuss any ban or appeal on any of our channels for a few reasons - Including keeping privacy of the individuals and details involved.
Thanks.

It's Getting Chilly Outside
Thanks to everyone for joining us for the Paint Brawl update! It's been a blast seeing everyone play the new mode and learn new skills.
This is a quick announcement to let you know that you've got about a week before the Paint Brawl items leave the store. We'll make another announcement to give you another ~24 hour notice for your last chance to pick up the Cardboard Armor, Mohawk, or any of the new Masks before they're gone. Mixing and matching some of these pieces are going to combo really well with costumes.
I wonder what's coming next? Lucy, do you know?

Halloween Update 2022
Happy Halloween, Everyone!
This is one of the team's favorite holidays in the year and we want to invite you to come celebrate with us. The spirits have come to play and have changed everything!
Explore Every Nook and Cranny
Every map has been updated to celebrate the season. Discover hidden secrets and new routes through fields of skeletons, jack-o-lanterns, bubbling cauldrons, and giant webs stretching across the sky. We've had a blast updating the world and can't wait for the updates to come.
Halloween = Costumes
New costume sets and items with special surprises to help you celebrate the holiday your way. What are you looking at poor Yorick? Did you make a new friend that you found in your web-rella? It's friendly! Don't set it on fire with the new demonic Deadshot slingshot. Grab your Unicorn and ride off in a trail of sparkles.
My Balloon!
We are very excited to be releasing the balloons feature. This is a brand new type of cosmetic that is an example for how we plan to expand on the core game mechanics in the future. Grab it off of your back and set it free. Bat it around and play a game of keepy-uppy. Release them into the air and see who can shoot them down. Get a group together and set up your own target gallery and challenge each other to see who can make the hardest shots.
A huge thank-you to all of our players for your support. We hope you have as much fun playing as we had making this update for you.
Special Thanks to StyledSnail (https://www.youtube.com/c/StyledSnail) and our alpha community for taking this picture for the update.
nimble trout
Hi, everyone!
Hope you're enjoying everything you've found so far!
Quick update is that we're deploying a hotfix to address an issue with balloons getting stuck after being touched by another player when deployed. Please grab it when you have a chance. It is not a required patch.
hardy talon
a fix is going out for pc that should help with the issues with crashing when joining certain rooms

Happy Halloween,
A new patch has just dropped with a flash back sale of last years cosmetics. Update the game and head over to the city to get them before they are gone.

small patch going out - there's a fix for some bugs Lucy had with spawning, which should be fixed now. there's also an in game TOS and Privacy Policy to agree to, that you will only need to agree to when either of those are updated
lavish forge
The one day warning is upon us! There will be a new patch coming out sometime... Tomorrow! Friday! See everyone there, and make sure to grab anything you were waiting until the last minute to get!
Just a note, most of the balloons are staying, but the ghost balloon is limited to the Halloween season, so it's going to make like a ghost and vanish tomorrow

Hey everyone, I wanted to write up some of my thoughts around bringing back the old items. I know people have been looking up various statements Iâve made over the past almost two years now, and I figure this would be a good time to address things and let everyone know the reasoning behind what weâre doing, what weâre trying to achieve, and how weâll continue to work on our process for bringing back old items.
The long and short of it is that our position, that we want to continue bringing back items, hasnât changed. The underlying reasoning is that we want this to be a fun, welcoming environment, where we can bring people in and show them this cool game we all love. I am very against doing something that would cause new players to feel alienated or like theyâve missed out on something and wonât have a chance to experience things along with everyone else. I know for my part, I never liked it when I would play a game and I didnât have the same opportunity as everyone else to earn or unlock everything, just because I came to it later. Even if itâs not true, it can feel like the community is insular and like theyâre lording their special objects over everyone else. We think that the cosmetics should be a tool for expression and play, and we want to make sure that everyone has an equal opportunity to get them.
That said, we also hear very clearly that a lot of people want items to remain special because they love the game so much and want to show how much time and effort theyâve spent supporting the game. I think that most people who feel uncomfortable with the way some of the items are coming back are not thinking that for selfish reasons, but because they do want to celebrate the fact that theyâve been here for a long time and have been really dedicated to the game. I hope you can believe me when I say we hear these thoughts and we do feel that itâs special that so many people have been so into the game for as long as they have been. This has caused us to start throwing around a lot of ideas for how we might recognize our long-time supporters. We donât have anything to announce at this time, but weâll have something more to talk about soon.
Based on this philosophy, you can expect a lot of the old cosmetics to return and that we will continue to do Flashback sales and other sales for bringing back past items. Please keep an eye out for anything you might be interested in!
The only items released so far that we are not planning on bringing back:
-The Early Access Supporter Pack
-The GT1 Badge
-The 2022 New Year Glasses
For now, the Early Access Supporter Pack is still available, and the exclusive items in there (the Early Access badge, the Chrome Cowboy hat, and the Sunny Sunhat) are still purchasable. However, this pack will itself also be going away at some point in the future.
We will clearly and specifically announce if any other items that we release are only available for that specific point in time and are not meant to return.
All official information about items coming back will be posted on our official channels and in the Announcements section of the Discord. Please refer to these channels for your news.

Launch Day

The Early Access pack will be not be available after Launch day. These items will never return to the store rotation, so if you want to grab it - now is the time to do so.

Official Update Channel
Reminder that this is the only official Gorilla Tag update channel. As we add more channels in the future, you'll hear about it from Another Axiom or members of the Gorilla Tag development team directly. Random posts on any other social channel are not official. Heard from a friend who talked to someone in a lobby that met someone that called themself Lemming in a video that has since been deleted - or, anything that sounds like this = Not Official.
No one has early special access to a Winter Update. Consider this an earlier than the normal 7 days notice - The next update is on Launch Day. December 15th.
- The game will NOT be available to "Get" for the first time on an account from Dec 12th - Launch as the game moves from App Lab to the Store
- If you have the game in your library - it will stay in your library
- All purchases are saved to your account - They don't go away when Gorilla Tag goes to the official Store
- Early Access Supporter Bundle goes away when we Launch on the Store - The items in the Early Access Supporter Bundle are truly limited. They are not coming back into the Store rotation in the future.

7 Day Notice
In 7 days, the Store Launch goes live on 12/15.
This is the 7 day reminder that all of the current seasonal cosmetics in the store, including the Fall flashback sale, will be gone on 12/15 when the next update goes live.
The Early Access Supporter Pack will also be removed from the store as Gorilla Tag exits the App Lab. This is the final week to purchase the Early Access Supporter Pack. These items will never be returning to the store rotation once we launch.
The truly limited items in the Early Access Supporter Pack are:
- The Early Access badge
- Chrome Cowboy Hat
- Sunny Sunhat
Please remember you will not be able to get the game between the 12th and the 15th of December if you do not already own it. With existing players, the game will just update as normal.

Another Axiom is making a statement on the game, here is the post
Hey everyone, we have some news today about the Steam version of Gorilla Tag. We appreciate all of the support we have gotten on this platform and always wanted to keep the Steam version free, but we have to face the reality that we spend a pretty insane amount of time fighting hacking and malicious behavior from PC accounts, and there are still pretty widespread issues with hackers ruining games for people. Any time we spend on trying to stop people from ruining the game is time we canât spend on making the game better, so this ends up hurting everyone.
Sadly, because we want and need to focus on the future of the game, weâve made the difficult decision to charge for the Steam version as an extra deterrent for players evading bans.
Anyone who currently has the game will continue to own it, and you WILL NOT be required to purchase the game. If you already own it, you own it. However, for new accounts, the Steam version of Gorilla Tag will no longer be Free-To-Play and the game will have a purchase price effective immediately.
The game will cost $20 USD, and anyone buying the game will get the equivalent value of Shiny Rocks: a total of 5500 upon their first login which includes 5000 for the purchase and 500 for being a new user. Think of it as basically requiring new Steam users to buy that Shiny Rock bundle.
Again, anyone that owns Gorilla Tag and has it in their library will continue to own the game and keep all of their account purchases - everything stays the same for current players.
This change is only being made for the Steam version of the game. Gorilla Tag on the Quest platform is Free-to-Play and will remain so when we launch on 12/15.
Another Axiom
lavish forge
The Game is now unavailable for NEW players until the full launch on the Oculus store 15th December 2022.
This only affects the Oculus Versions. The Steam version is unchanged.
You can purchase in game rocks and cosmetics as normal on all versions.

đ LAUNCH UPDATE - 24 HOUR NOTICE
24 Hours before the Store Launch on 12/15 ETA 10:00am PST.
You only have around 24 hours before Fall leaves us (get it) including the flashback sale items when the game launches.
The Early Access Supporter Pack will vanish from the store as Gorilla Tag exits the App Lab. This is the LAST CHANCE to purchase as these items will never be returning to the store.
- The Early Access Badge
- Chrome Cowboy Hat
- Sunny Sunhat
Weâre excited for you all to check out the Launch tomorrow!
jovial mica
Itâs official: Gorilla Tag has launched out of early access!
Since introduced to App Lab and Steam in 2021, Gorilla Tag has attracted a dedicated community of over 5M unique users playing, exploring, and socializing in its immersive VR world. We donât need to tell you that though, you have been here along in this journey all playing a part in this momentous moment for the game.
Gorilla Tag is now available in the Meta Quest Store and on Steam. If you already have the game, just update it as normal.
A special Gorilla Tag launch bundle will be available for a limited time starting on December 15th. Swing in and explore all 5 of our maps⌠wait 5? Sorry, we actually have 6 maps now.

Anyone buying the game after today will get the equivalent value of Shiny Rocks: a total of 5500 upon their first login which includes 5000 for the purchase and 500 for being a new user. Think of it as basically requiring new Meta Rift users to buy the 5000 Shiny Rock bundle to play.
Again, anyone that owns Gorilla Tag and has it in their library will continue to own the game and keep all of their account purchases - everything stays the same for current players.

Whoa! Just got a sneak peek at something new, and all I can say is that it's going to blow your mind.

Get ready to hit the slopes in the latest game update, as the mountains have undergone a stunning transformation. The new ice formations have created the perfect conditions for sliding, making it the ultimate winter sports destination. Zoom down the frozen mountainsides and race against other players to get that tag first.
Remember to dress up warm with the perfectly timed winter Flashback.
If itâs too cold in Mountains, make your way to the Forest as the snow has thawed and grass has started to grow.
Spring is near. Be on the lookout for signs of green with the new Pot Oâ Gold Pack:

Single Controller Mode
We think itâs important to try and make the game playable by as many people as possible. One common issue reported is that some players want to be able to play with one controller.
To address this challenge, we added an automatic mode that allows players to play the game with only one controller as part of this update. Itâs still in an experimental phase, but we wanted to release it early for people to try and share their feedback with us https://dyno.gg/form/171c08f
How it Works
Currently, the Single Controller Mode will automatically recognize when only one controller is connected. The hand associated with the disconnected controller will lock to your torso, allowing you to move around and jump with the connected controller.
In the future, we hope to handle all inputs from a single controller to allow for gameplay interactions that normally require both hands.

You've all seen through our clever tricks; we did actually put out a new map under the obstacle course in the city! It's a little weird, but we're experimenting with a new idea. Basically, we have a lot more ideas and concepts than we can actually fit into the game in the normal way. There's only so much room to add things into the game, and each of those changes is taking more and more time as we raise the bar for what everyone expects out of a new map or area from us. This rotating map gives us an opportunity to put more awesome stuff into the game that otherwise couldn't have made it.
The swamp map is a great example, it's something that was made last year that we just couldn't fit into the game in the normal way. It's kind of buggy, it's not super polished, but we think it looks really fantastic and it's a lot of fun to play in the swamp, warts and all. The rotating map means that we can put something out there that's a little bit more old-gorilla tag style (back when I'd usually have to push 3-4 hotfixes after every patch because of a bunch of bugs I accidentally added), but keep the higher level of quality for the rest of the game that everyone's come to expect. To put it simply, instead of having a team of people work for a few months on a map, these maps will be something that can take one person a few days to make. This means it will be jankier, buggier, and messier, but it means you'll be able to see more stuff that's still fun to play on.
How are things going to change with the map? Well, we'll change it every so often. Maybe it'll be a new weird thing like the swamp. Maybe we'll bring back an old version of a map. Maybe we'll throw in a map back from before Gorilla Tag came out and everyone was still the robot. We don't know for sure, but our plan is to have fun with it and give everyone a chance to check something out that's less polished, but still fun.
We hope everyone has a good week, and don't fall out of the map too much!

We needed to update the Oculus SDK due to some features we had to add in order to stay in compliance with Meta policies. This has led to some unintended consequences where players can no longer play on other Hz settings. We have never officially supported using any settings that require third party tools to access, and as a result we didn't do any testing to see if that was still working with this patch, we did not intend to make any changes around enforcing a specific Hz setting at this time. We're taking a look to see if there's a straightforward way for us to reduce the impact on players for now, but since this issue just appeared, we don't have any specific details or timelines we can share for now.

Hi Monkes (and monke family)!
As some of you have already noticed, there have been some recent changes to the Meta parent-managed account settings that may affect the way you play Gorilla Tag. Weâve seen some questions in the #đŞłâbugs channel and on socials, so we wanted to give you an update. Make sure to check out #1222258976453038142 for the full FAQ, but hereâs everything you need to know:
đ Monke Noises ONLY: Parent-managed accounts will only hear monke noises from other players, and players will only hear you as monke noises. This change is automatic and is based on how your Meta parent-managed account has been set up. We cannot make changes to your account. Check the computer support screen in-game to see if you are logged in on a parent-managed account.
đŁ Privacy: Players with parent-managed accounts are restricted from talking with other players or sharing personal information. Voice chat is limited to monke noises, and players cannot disable this feature. We cannot change it or disable it for you.
â Frequently Asked Questions:
Playing together: For our monke family and friends, you can still play Gorilla Tag with parent-managed accounts if you are in the same location and can communicate without headsets.
Name Badges: Parent-managed accounts are assigned randomly generated name badges. These cannot be changed. You can still see cosmetics and skins.
Rooms: Parent-managed accounts cannot access private rooms, even with a code.
In-Game Purchases: Parent-managed accounts are restricted from purchasing in-game items using real currency, but youâll still receive the free Daily Shiny Rocks. For parents or guardians, please check out your Childâs ATM to see their free Daily Shiny Rock balance.
We understand that these settings may impact your gameplay experience, but they are essential for the well-being of our Gorilla Tag community. Thank you always for your support and love of the game!

Hi everyone! We wanted to give you a quick update on the Makeship plush codes.

Weâre working closely with Meta on it right now to sort it out. In the meantime, we plan to start distributing those code emails tomorrow <t:1712357880:D> and throughout the weekend.
This only affects parent-managed accounts. So if you donât have a parent-managed account and are still having issues with redeeming your codes, please make sure to reach out to Makeship support for help first.
We really appreciate your patience as we tackle this situation together. â¤ď¸

of you experienced this time yesterday.
This stemmed from a significant back-end change we deployed. While this tested successfully in a production environment, deploying core updates to a live game always carries risk.
To minimize this, we chose to implement this update during a time of low users online (CCU). Despite our precautions, unexpected problems arose.

hey everyone - there's something in today's update i'm really happy about because of how personal it is for me. Raccoon Lagoon was a big influence on Gorilla Tag - specifically the fact that the gorillas have no legs. before i had played it, i was wondering how it would feel to play with your torso on the ground, and it turns out you don't miss it at all, and it's fun to be able to do all the resource gathering without needing to crouch down over and over to reach the floor. this kind of opened my eyes in terms of thinking about how it was important to approach vr on its own terms, with what inputs you have available, and how players can really adapt to any kind of world. so Raccoon Lagoon is the direct inspiration both for the gorillas having no legs, which lets you walk on the ground with your hands, and for having three fingers, because you only have inputs for your middle and index fingers and thumbs.
there's now a tiny little piece of Raccoon Lagoon in the Gorilla World, and we hope you have fun with it!

đ˘ New Age Verification Update: k-ID Integration đ˘
Hey everyone! Weâve heard your concerns about safety and access in the game, and weâre working to make Gorilla Tag better for all players. Thatâs why weâre rolling out a new age verification system called k-ID. Hereâs what you need to know:
đš When you log in, youâll be prompted to use the thumbsticks to set your age.
đš This new process is based on local laws where you live, so it varies per player.
IMPORTANT: Please be honest about your age! If youâre playing on a parentâs or guardianâs Meta account, your answer will affect them, too, so please check with them before setting your age. In most cases, the best thing to do is to set up your own unique Meta account to play Gorilla Tag on their headset.
Setting the wrong age, even as a joke, can limit your access to features and mess with your game experience. We're here to help make this transition as smooth as possible, so if you have any questions or need more info, reach out to us!
We also have an FAQ available to help answer questions you or your guardians might have. Thanks for working with us to keep our community safe and fun!
https://www.gorillatagvr.com/post/what-parents-guardians-and-players-need-to-know-about-k-id-and-gorilla-tag
lavish forge
Hi everyone, weâre rolling back the k-ID system for now.
We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. We understand that our messaging around this change was unclear in-game, and we appreciate your patience.
If your account was restricted, you should have full access again. We plan to reintroduce k-ID in the future with a smoother rollout.

The Quest 1 Sunset
Today, we have some news to share about Gorilla Tag on Quest 1. With this update, players on Quest 1 will only be able to play with others using the same device, and as much as it pains us to say goodbye, after weeks of effort, weâve had to roll back two updates to the 'Monke Blocks' update for Quest 1. Unfortunately, we couldnât get the Fall and Winter builds working as planned, the game has become too big for older hardware, and it will no longer be supported on Quest 1.
There will be no further feature/content updates for Quest 1. You will still be able to play, but without any seasonal decorations.
We know this isnât easy to hear. The Quest 1 has been with us since the beginning, holding a special place in our hearts. Itâs been there through countless games of tag, unforgettable moments with friends, and all the laughs and fun that make Gorilla Tag what it is. It feels like saying goodbye to an old friendâone whoâs been by our side through so much.
We have done everything we could to keep Quest 1 part of the journey, As Gorilla Tag continues to grow, it has become clear that we cannot support it indefinitely without hindering the game. Meta also ceased providing features and fixes for this device in August 2024.
We want to make the transition as smooth as possible for those who decide to upgrade to a newer Meta device. If you log in to your new device with the same account, all your purchases and shiny rock balances will carry over. No matter where you play next, your memories will stay with you.
Thank you for being part of this journey and for bringing Gorilla Tag to life on Quest 1. Weâll always treasure the memories made on this device and the incredible community thatâs grown around it.
Hereâs to all the great times weâve sharedâand to many more in the future.

Forest Guides âHolders of the Stickâ
đ Re-Introducing the "Stick 
" â Now a Symbol of Community Leadership! đ
We're excited to share a new initiative to celebrate the amazing members of our community who make this space so special. Introducing the reimagined "Stick " a unique recognition for players who embody leadership, kindness, and a commitment to making our community welcoming for all.
What is the "Stick "?
The "Stick" is no longer a tool of enforcement or is it a badge of popularity. Itâs a symbol of recognition for community leaders who naturally guide by example and contribute positively to our shared space.
A Journey to Forest Guide
Weâre proud to announce that our current Community Moderation team will be the first to carry the "Stick" in-game as Forest Guides. While they are no longer moderators, they are honored as role models and leaders within the community.
In Discord, weâre introducing a new role: Forest Guides. These are community members recognized for their positive contributions. This is not a role you can ask for, but one thatâs earned through natural, consistent actions that uplift our community.
How Does It Work?
- đ
Positive Recognition: The "Stick " is awarded to players who embody the best of our community values.
- đ¤ Not a Popularity Contest: Selection is based on actions, not status - thereâs no application process, so just focus on enjoying the game and helping others!
- đ Discreet Moderation: In game Moderators no longer carry "Sticks" or stand out in-game. They work behind the scenes to support and guide, blending seamlessly into the community.
What Makes a Guide?
Guides shine both in-game and in our online spaces. Hereâs what Guides can look like:
đ In-Game: Mentoring new players, organizing fun events, and spreading positivity.
đŹ Online: Welcoming newcomers, sharing helpful content, helping with support issues, and fostering a respectful environment.
What Itâs Not
Being a Forest Guide isnât about self-promotion, token gestures, or creating issues to solve. The "Stick " celebrates genuine contributions - not fame, clicks, or popularity.
Why This Matters
The "Stick " represents our collective commitment to a thriving, positive community where everyone can feel welcome and valued. Letâs celebrate the Forest Guides among us who make this possible!
We want more "Sticks" in-game. This opens up our ability to recognize more people in game and we are introducing new ways for us to identify people who make a positive impact everyday.
To the players in the community that are positive role models, keep being awesome, and who knows you might just find yourself with a "Stick " one day!
Whatâs Happening with Discord Moderation?
We are introducing a new team of paid moderators who are excited to provide 24/7 moderation and support. This team will allow us to maintain a safe and welcoming environment, ensuring our community thrives at all hours.
This is not a demotion to our Volunteer Mods that have been absolutely amazing and who in their new role will still have as much impact and influence in the future of Gorilla Tags community.
You can still Ping @has stick or the new @moderator role, to report concerns on the discord (Please use the in-game report form for player reports no need to ping)

A few weeks ago, we launched our Discord Unbans: Fresh Start initiative, giving over 580! previously banned players a second chance to re-join our community. And guess what? Itâs been a huge success!
We've seen so many returning members embrace the opportunity, follow the guidelines, and become positive contributors to our server. Itâs been fantastic welcoming people back and seeing them reconnect with the community.
A Big Thank You! đ
To everyone who returned and respected the fresh start â you made this work. Your willingness start fresh, respect the community, and engage positively has shown that second chances can truly make a difference.
To our existing members and moderation team â your patience, kindness, and support in making this transition smooth have been invaluable. You helped create a welcoming environment for those coming back! đ
Whatâs Nextâ
The unban waves will continue as planned, ensuring a manageable process for everyone involved. If you know someone eligible, remind them to check out the application form:

đď¸ Big Changes to Voice Chat in Gorilla Tag!
Hey everyone! We know voice chat can be amazing for making friends and having fun - but letâs be real, sometimes it gets way too toxic. Thatâs why weâre rolling out a brand-new moderation system with GGWP to keep Gorilla Tag a fun, safe place to play.
đ Whatâs Changing?
đš Smarter Moderation: The GGWP system now listens for offensive language and tracks behavior to catch repeat offenders.
đš A Real Drive to Educate Players: Weâre focused on teaching good âMonke behaviorâ, not just punishing bad behavior. The system will help players understand whatâs okay and whatâs not before things get out of hand.
đš Real People Reviewing Bans: The Appeals and Interventions team is here 24/7 to make sure bans are fair and help sort out mistakes, they will have more tools to review appeals.
đš Player Reports Still Matter! If you report someone, it still helps! Reports are used alongside this system to get a more rounded picture of player behavior.
đš Voice-Based Detections & Player Reports: Both will now inform more accurate interventions, with warnings first and escalating to suspensions (bans) that accurately reflect in-game behavior.
đš No More Free Passes for Toxicity/Slurs: If someoneâs behaving this way, they wonât just slip through the cracks anymore.
đ When is it being added?
Weâve been working on this for around 12 months to make sure everything is accurate, fair, and fully integrated with our existing moderation systems. From improving detections to figuring out the best way to handle player interventions, we are taking the time to get it right. Now, weâre in the final stages of testing, and if all goes well, we plan to roll this out mid May 2025!
đĄ What Does This Mean for You?
âď¸ Less toxicity = more fun games đ
âď¸ If you feel you were unfairly banned, you can appeal it.
âď¸ If you're a positive player, we will know this and there may be some fun things happening in the future to reward this!
We love our community and want everyone to have a great time in Gorilla Tag. Play fair, be kind, and letâs make the game better together! đ

đ˘ Ghost Reactor đť
The rumors were true. The old Ghost Reactor at the bottom of the mines is finally waking up, and it runs on spectral juice.
Lemming hit it out of the park with this one and is excited to see how far you can push the core systems. Literally.
Starting Friday, May 2nd, the Ghost Reactor update goes live. Your task is to grab your employee ID, Pick up your specialized spectral tools, form a crew and begin your first shift, and collect those spectral cores.
This is a cooperative challenge built around spectral energy management. You will need to decide: when to recharge, when to spend, when to unlock that very tempting door over there to go deeper in the mines!
đ ď¸ Tools help.
đ¤ Teams help more.
đť Ghosts? Well, theyâre part of the deal.
This is just the start of something much bigger, itâs an evolving job, so expect a lot more coming in future updates.

đĄď¸ k-ID is Coming Back on 19th May â Hereâs What You Need to Know!
Weâre bringing back k-ID, a trusted system designed to create a safer, age-appropriate gaming experience.
We want to take a moment to be honest with you - the first time we introduced this system, it could have gone better. We heard the feedback, and weâve worked hard to make sure this rollout is smoother and clearer for everyone.
Hereâs whatâs happening:
đ Initial Rollout Stage
Starting May 19th, some players might get the chance to opt in earlyš. You will receive 500 Shiny Rocks as a thank-you for helping us test the new system during this time.
šWe may make sign-up a requirement for some players during this test period.
đąď¸ Full Rollout
Once weâre confident everythingâs working, sign-up will become required for everyone, globally. k-ID will be part of the game, and moving forward new players completing the process will get 100 Shiny Rocks on top of the initial Shiny Rocks all new players currently get.
â Be Honest About Your Age
If youâre Not legally an Adult where you live, talk to your parent or guardian now so theyâre ready. Your parents may be asked to verify themselves using a privacy-preserving method. They can pre-approve you as explained below. Getting permission is quick and easy: k-ID makes it simple for parents or guardians to approve access with just a few clicks.
đ¨ Please donât joke about your age - it might seem funny to set it to 1 years old but this will only lead to needing to appeal your age setting later, which could affect your ability to play the game.
â What Info Does Another Axiom/k-ID Store?
đ Another Axiom only stores the permissions you have been granted, not your age.
đ k-ID does not store the information used to validate your age or parent/guardian status. All they store is the parentâs email, their child profiles and permissions, and the results of the validation process.
đ¨âđŠâđŚ Info for Parents & Guardians
k-ID gives parents and guardians a dedicated portal to manage permissions across multiple games. Through k-ID.com/family, you can:
â Set age-appropriate permissions based on your child's maturity level.
â Manage all k-ID-powered games and services in one place.
â Ensure your childâs experience aligns with your regional safety regulations.
â Sign up in advance to make it even quicker to give permissions when needed!
Parents can create a k-ID account here, then visit this link to pre-approve their child for Gorilla Tag. When k-ID is live in game, just make sure the child enters the same parental email address used by their parent to pre-approve them, and then the parent should be able to finalize the request in just a few clicks!
đ We Trust k-ID
We have 100% trust in k-ID to manage this system securely and responsibly, providing a safe, tailored experience for younger players. They are certified by the ESRB Privacy Certified Program and UK Age Check Certification Scheme. If you or your guardians have questions, they can check the full FAQ on the Gorilla Tag Website or k-ID website.
viscid forge
đĄď¸ We have seen thereâs still some confusion and concern around k-ID, so we want to reassure you this is not and never will be an 18+ game. Our goal is to make the game fun and accessible for a wide range of players.
We canât specify exact age thresholds for features, as these vary by country, and sometimes even by state. We aim to collect as little information as possible, so parental consent will only be asked for when legally required.
No matter what, players can still play the game, but some features may require parental involvement depending on where they live.
fallen peak
Hey everyone, I wanted to hop in and help provide some clarity about k-ID, age-appropriate design, and why weâre even doing this in the first place. Our top priority is always about keeping the game fun and a great experience for everyone. We also want players, and their parents or guardians, to feel that their feedback and concerns are being heard.
Previously, parent-managed accounts for Gorilla Tag were a one-size-fits-all experience, and even parent-managed accounts couldnât enable voice chat, join public rooms, or have custom names, even if the parents wanted those features enabled. k-ID allows parents to unlock those features for their kids.
Instead of a monolithic one-size-fits-all platform solution, with k-IDâs age-appropriate design, post age-verification, parents can enable or disable what they want in regards to the following:
- Voice Chat
- Custom Usernames
- Joining Rooms
- Access to the Virtual Stump (UGC)
We appreciate all the conversations being had throughout the chats and for making your concerns heard. Itâs why we wanted to let you know these changes were coming with plenty of time to be able to discuss them with you.
Weâve also received some questions about how k-ID handles player data. We want to reassure you that privacy and safety are top priorities â both for us and for k-ID.
đś: Iâm worried k-ID is going to misuse all my data.
To reiterate: k-ID and its processors NEVER store ID numbers, payment details, images used for adult verification, or any information used in the parental verification process. All that k-ID stores is whether your trusted adult is legit.
Beyond that though, k-ID is AAâs compliance vendor. AA is paying them directly to manage our compliance process, and they may ONLY use the information we provide them for compliance purposes. This is the business model they have for all their customers. Even in the event that k-ID as a business were acquired, theyâd still be legally bound by this promise to us (and to you).
đś: Iâm worried that my parents arenât going to provide their personal data to let me play.
We understand that this process might be new to some parents. Again, we want to mention that sensitive information from parents is NOT stored by k-ID or any of its processors (e.g., Stripe, Veratad).
You can tell your parents or guardians that k-ID meets or exceeds global privacy and data protection standards. Its data handling practices have been independently audited and certified by the ESRB Privacy Certified Program and the UK Age Check Certification Scheme (ACCS).
Even if your parent or guardian does not consent right away, remember that you can still play - and youâll still get your 500 shiny rocks.
đś: I donât like the inconvenience that this flow causes.
We get that this is new and new things are always a bit scary. The entire games industry (and really the entire internet) is grappling right now with how to make games safer and better for all age groups while still balancing risks to your privacy, security, and ability to enjoy the stuff you love.
We ask you to keep an open mind and go through the flows next week when they go live. We want to make sure everyone gets an age-appropriate experience and will be monitoring your feedback to make sure that any bugs or errors are quickly addressed.

đ 2025 Pride Update đ
From deep in the heart of Gorilla Tag the Stump, something colorful has bloomed - a celebration built for joy, connection, and being exactly who you are.
This month, weâre celebrating Pride and LGBTQIA+ - a time to show up, stand out, and swing freely as your most authentic self.
Whether youâre climbing walls, flinging through the trees, or just vibing in the City, everyoneâs invited. Pride is about togetherness, support, and celebrating the beauty of you.
- New cosmetics? Oh yes! Wear them loud. Wear them proud.
- Got love? Bring it.
- Got joy? Share it.
No matter where you land on the spectrum of being human, thereâs a place for you here. Remember there is something we all can do and thats treat others with kindness, dignity, and respect.
âBe seen. Be proud. Be you.â
â˘ď¸ Ghost Reactor Update: SYSTEM ESCALATION DETECTED đť
While you're out celebrating, please beware! Something strange is happening down in the Ghost Reactor.
A new employee performance tracking terminal has been installed - now you can monitor your harvest progress, and rise through the ranks of Gorilla Corpâs most haunted department.
But with that... the vibes have shifted.
- The mines are more unstable!
- New tools!
- Some workers have reported strange new sights!
- Work together with fellow staff to contain the situation, itâs not safe to go alone!
Clock in, stay sharp while on shift, and donât let your guard down. Somethingâs lurking.

đłď¸âđ Happy Pride Month, monkes! đłď¸ââ§ď¸
June is here, and weâre taking a moment to celebrate love, identity, and the amazing diversity within our community.
Whether you're out and proud, questioning, or simply showing support â you belong here. Gorilla Tag has always been about connection, expression, and play, and that means creating a space where everyone feels safe to be themselves.
Weâre grateful for all the LGBTQIA+ players who help make this community vibrant and welcoming year-round. đ
Stay kind, stay loud, and stay monke. đ

đ§ Menâs Mental Health Month: YOUâRE NOT ALONE
This month, weâre shining a light on something that too often stays hidden. Menâs mental health.
For a long time, men have been told to "tough it out," "man up," or stay quiet when things get heavy. But the truth is? Everyone struggles sometimes. And thereâs real strength in speaking up.
This isnât just an issue that affects men - Mental health/Wellbeing matters to everyone. Friends, family we all have minds, and we all deserve support.
đŹ Feeling overwhelmed? Not sure how to help a friend? Check out the #crisis channel, itâs there for when things feel too big to handle alone.
- You matter.
- Your feelings are real.
- Itâs okay to talk about it.
Check in with your friends. Check in with yourself.
As always: be kind, be real, and look out for each other.

Introducing: Lost and Found - Prop Hunt đť đŠ
You can run. You can hide. You can become a Party Hat.
Deep in the dim-lit corners of the City Atriumâs Lost and Found, something creepy has crept in... A ghostly echo of game modes past, now reborn in the Bayou.
Disguise yourself as cosmetics. Blend in. Outsmart. Haunt⌠or be Hunted. đŻď¸
Itâs a test of memory, mischief, and just the right amount of spooky Monke.
Hide đ§¤. Seek đď¸. Scream đą. Run đââď¸.
đ Bring your best hiding spot⌠and maybe a flashlight.
Meanwhile... The busy Monkeâs are setting up Creator Fest! đ¤ Opening June 18th with some limited time additionsâŚ
Creator Fest Spotlight: Prop Haunt on Steam by Silent Forest Games!
As part of the upcoming Creator Fest, we're thrilled to shine a light on indie creativity - and what better way than to support a game that our latest update shares part of its name with?
Check out Prop Hunt, an upcoming multiplayer hide-and-seek game made by an indie dev who loves spooky props as much as we do.
Coincidence? Destiny? Ghostly mischief? Either way, it looks awesome and weâre all in.

đ˘ k-ID Update â Permissions & Country Fixes đ˘
Hey Monkeâs! Weâve got a few updates to share regarding k-ID and in-game permissions:
đ§âđť Virtual Stump for Kids
Weâve been working closely with k-ID and mod.io to improve how permissions work, and weâre happy to share that previously, users under 13 had Virtual Stump disabled automatically... this is no longer the case!
This means more Monkeâs can experience Virtual Stump together while still staying within safe, age-appropriate limits. đ
đ¨đŚ Canadian Permissions Update
Due to a recent legal change in Canada, going forward teens will have their Voice Chat permissions default to OFF, but they can choose to turn them ON without parental approval.
â ď¸ Because of this change, some existing players might be sent back to the gameâs permission settings screen, with voice chat turned OFF by default even if they had it ON before. You can re-enable it in settings.
đ Fixes for Country-Specific Errors
We also fixed an issue where players in Chile, Ivory Coast, Mali, and New Zealand couldnât access Verified Parental Consent due to incorrect data on the age of digital consent. This has now been corrected, and impacted players should no longer run into that problem.
Thanks for bearing with us while we work with k-ID to keep things smooth, safe, and up to date!

đRanked Mode is Here!
One of the most requested features over the years is finally becoming reality.
This is our take on skill-based matchmaking for competitive minded players. Itâs not meant to replace amazing community leagues like GTC theyâre still the gold standard for serious organized play, but it offers a low-pressure, built-in way to test yourself, improve, and climb the ladder.
No signups, no spreadsheets - just jump in, tag, and climb through the ranks. You will find it located in the City Competitive Course.
đ How it works:
- Weâll be starting with 1 map daytime-only Forest, no seasonal set dressing, so the map stays consistent for competitive play.
- Ranked uses MMR-based matchmaking to match you with similarly skilled players.
- PC players will only match with PC, and Quest with Quest.
- Matches start with 4 or more players.
- Timed infection rounds keep the pace tight.
- Welcoming for newcomers, with plenty of room for grinders to rise and shine.
đď¸ Want to show off your achievements?
You can pick up the Ranked Cosmetic Pack, which displays your current rank in-game:
- On Quest, it appears as a belt
- On PC, itâs shown as a ring
Climb the ladder from Wood, Rock, Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Beyond! Every match helping define your skill. You can skip Wood and Rock if you unlock Competitive Course - itâs all in your hands.
đĽ But thatâs not all! đĽ
Monke go Boom this 4th July with the new Fire Fanatic Pack!

Take My Hand đ¤đŚ
Ever needed a helping hand or just wanted to try something new with your fellow Monke?
Introducing Take My Hand a new way to cooperate, experiment, and create monkey chains of pure chaos (or teamwork, depending on your vibe).
Hereâs what you can do with it:
- Canât quite reach that branch? A friend can lean down and pull you up!
- Your friends stuck at the beach? Reach down and haul them out!
- Facing a tricky long jump? Someone can reach out and grab you mid-leap!
- Want to form a Monke chain across the Forest? One Monke grabs a branch, another grabs their hand, and another grabs their hand... you get the idea.
Unlike Guardian, thereâs no forced grabbing here. If you donât want to hold hands, just let go of grip! Easy as that.
We hope this brings new fun, exploration, and very silly moments to your Monke life.
Now go out there and Take Someoneâs Hand! âđŚ§

hey everyone! we've been hard at work at something that i think is really sick, and we want to give you all an early look.
next Friday (8/22) we'll open up a 3 day beta test for you all to try out! now when I say "beta" i really mean it, it's all grey boxes and half started art and temporary sound effects janky, broken interactions where there's no balance whatsoever. this is something that most developers would never show, but we really want to get your early feedback since it is so work in progress, we want to know what you all like, what we should keep, and what we should change.
we'll share more specific details next week, but here's a hint: gadgets gadgets gadgets

đ Beta Invites Are Rolling Out!
Thank you to everyone who applied for our upcoming Gadgets Beta.
Starting today, selected players will begin receiving emails with invites to join the Beta channel on Meta.
â ď¸ Important notes:
Right now, the Beta itself isnât live yet - youâll still be playing the current live game until we upload the Beta (Soonâ˘).
If the details you submitted on your application were incorrect (or if youâve since changed your email), unfortunately we wonât be able to resend or update your invite. Correcting these takes significant time away from development, and we want to keep the team focused on making the game better.
If you donât receive an email, that means you werenât added this time. But donât worry - this wonât be a long Beta, and weâre aiming to bring the final version to everyone soon!
Weâre incredibly excited to start testing with you all and will share more updates very soon.

You Spoke, We Listened
We thought a gradual build-up to Halloween would be fun, and we wanted to start earlier this year. But we hear you, it didnât land the way we hoped, and weâre sorry it caused confusion and frustration. All the environment props familiar and new will be in the update on the 17th October
Your feedback matters, and the recent community input will be acted upon and we will be making changes. Thank you for keeping us grounded, honest, and inspired weâll keep working to make Gorilla Tag the best (and most fun) it can be. â¤ď¸
The Gorilla Tag community has always been at the heart of what we do. Over the last year we have tried new things in the spirit of adding variety and along the way, we drifted from our roots we all enjoy - a fun, game of tag with friends. Thatâs where Gorilla Tag shines.
This doesnât mean weâre stopping new ideas like Ghost Reactor or Monke Blocks, but it does mean they won't distract us from the core and itâs time to do what makes Gorilla Tag special: Return to Monke!
What this means for players:
- Quality of Life focus
- Fixing those long-standing bugs
- Better travel & exploration
- New ways to move around maps
- Decluttering so additions enhance gameplay not distract
- More transparency
- More community betas
- Real feedback loops
- More developer engagement
-
Dev Talks
What is Dev Talks - This will be a dedicated channel where Developers will be posting updates on what they are working on.
This will give more transparency in to the development and design choices in Gorilla tag. We are excited to share the cool things that are currently in the works, we cant wait to tell you all about them.

Hey everyone.
Weâre making a small update to the serverâs look, and we want to talk about it openly instead of surprising you with it.
First, the real part:
Itâs a sad state of the world right now that peopleâs rights are being erased, and that we even have to say this, but here we are. You can be yourself in this server as long as being yourself doesnât stop someone else from being themselves. Thatâs the baseline, and thatâs not changing, we are not erasing this with the icon change.
Now for the visual side:
The server icon wonât always have the Pride flag.
It will show up regularly, but this approach also lets us have some fun with the icon for things like Halloween, Holidays, and other events. It gives us flexibility without changing our stance.
The original logo isnât disappearing.
Itâll be used by our main bots, so youâll still see it every day in embeds and official bot messages.
Thatâs really it. If youâve got questions or thoughts, feel free to drop them in chat.

hey everyone, we have an update about our community team. we're adding someone who's been a very passionate and active longtime member, v3nish!
v3nish has always been active in talking about balance, playing lots of the game, and really getting into the nooks and crannies. we've talked a lot at different times about the game, how it's feeling, reporting bugs, and all sorts of that kind of thing. it reminds me a lot of when i was an echo arena player and talking to the devs about my favorite game.
v3nish will be our newest Community Manager, and their role is gonna be about supporting players, interacting with and guiding the community, and making sure your voice is heard by the devs. v3nish will more or less be doing what they've been doing, which is being passionate about the game and the players, and be given more support to be effective in that role.
i hope everyone can give a warm welcome and help v3nish help us make gorilla tag the gorillaest and taggiest it can be!

The man the myth the legend Cody is stepping away from Community Management and moving into what is clearly his true passion: Sound and Music.
Cody will be working on audio and music not just for Gorilla Tag, but across Another Axiom projects.
We are incredibly excited to see what he creates. If anyone understands Gorilla Tagâs sound and musical style, it is Cody. He has been around since nearly the beginning, and his fingerprints are already all over what makes the game feel the way it does.
This is not a goodbye. Cody is not going anywhere. He is simply moving to another area of Gorilla Tag where he can do what he loves most.
It is a brave new future, and we cannot wait to hear what comes next. Lets show Cody some love in the chat â¤ď¸

Mods in Gorilla tag
There is a need to clarify our position on Mod-checking tools they are not supported by Another Axiom in any way, particularly when they are created by known bad actors. Some of these tools recently included undeclared features that can affect other playersâ experiences, such as controlling what cosmetics are visible in-game, and trigger anti-cheat bans on remote players and are therefore not considered safe or acceptable.
Any reports of cheating or detections by our Anti-Cheat systems place an account at a high risk of being banned.
đŤ Unbans involving mods are uncommon
â
If you choose to mod, do so responsibly, limit usage to private spaces, and only use trusted sources
For more detailed information, please refer to the [Modding FAQ](#đâfaq message) and the Gorilla Tag Modding Discord.

Gorilla Corp Public Notice
On January 10th, (11AM PST, 2PM EST, 7PM GMT) There is a Countdown Clock in City <t:1768071600:R>.
Gorilla Corp invites all citizens to visit City to observe a scheduled celestial event.
Be There Early so you dont miss it...
A comet is expected to pass through our skies in what our scientific partners are describing as a probable near miss. Based on current projections, the object should pass by City without incident. While its proximity may appear dramatic, there is no confirmed evidence at this time to suggest a direct impact.
As a purely cautionary measure, Gorilla Corp has completed upgrades to windows and surrounding structures within City. These improvements do not indicate an increased risk. They should not be taken as a sign of lack of confidence in our observations!
Attendance is voluntary and cannot be claimed as work hours!
-# Disclaimer: Gorilla Corp accepts no responsibility for injury, harm, or loss incurred as a result of observing the comet event, including but not limited to injuries caused by debris, structural failure, environmental effects, crowd movement, or unexpected celestial behavior. Attendance and viewing are undertaken entirely at the individualâs own risk.

sorry everyone, i have some bad news. with the last monke mayhem event, we were trying to beat our record of 98,365 players. unfortunately the next time we try to do that, the new record number of players to beat will be 110,458 players, so it'll be more difficult. sorry about that, but at the same time, it's kind of all your guys' fault. thanks a ton for playing and hopping on to check out the event today! i'm sure everything in the city will be fine.
hardy talon
the progression is a little finicky right now, so ghost reactor devices and super infection gadgets aren't all loading correctly. we're taking a look and things should be back up soon, but rest assured all your stuff is safe it's just not all visible in game correctly sometimes
things look like they've recovered, your stuff should all be there if you check it again!

What is the bonus item? well, that's up to you! whichever side gets the most signs purchased will determine what that bonus item is.

#đ§ Game Downtime Notice đ§
During the recent meteor event in Gorilla Tag, we hit a huge milestone
A new VR world record for the most players online in a VR-only game đ
Because of that massive turnout, we discovered some limits with our backend servers.
We want to make sure Gorilla Tag and Orion Drift stay stable and run better going forward, we need to do some impactful maintenance.
đ Downtime start: Around 9 PM PST tonight
âą Expected duration: 1 to 2 hours
Gorilla Tag will have offline play but no cosmetics, Orion Drift will not - Multiplayer will not work for either game during this period.
If everything goes smoothly, we will be back quickly. There is a chance it could take longer, but we will keep you updated.
This work is now complete

Dig Deeper đłď¸ vs Rebuild the Rocket đ
Phase 1 of the Dig vs Rebuild event is about to end in Gorilla Tag.
As of now, about 1000 more Dig Deeper signs have been purchased than Rebuild the Rocket signs. That means if results don't change fast, then tomorrow Team Dig will** lock in** their team's theme for the in-game bonus item (that goes to anyone who bought a sign)!
You've got a little less than 24 hours to go!
We're still throwing around ideas for what the final items can be, and there are two possibilities depending on who wins. Can you guess what they could beâ
We'll announce the results for Phase 1 when the patch goes live tomorrow.
The final phase of the Dig vs Rebuilt event will continue in the voting thread in the Gorilla Tag Discord until we announce the final results on February 7th.

hey! we've talked in the past about how we're trying to increase our focus on the core game and experience. one of the big things that's going out this patch is the better performance from dynamically loading the cosmetics. this was a long time coming and builds on work that's been happening in the background for a little while, but i wanna talk a bit about how things got here and what a big difference it should be making.
here's a look at some of the internal tools we use while building the game. this image shows generally how performance is in a few spots in the game, and this runs automatically when we push updates to the game or code internally. it runs in a worst case scenario with 10 monke all moving around in different maps, all covered in as many cosmetics as possible. this one is from the January 9th release. you can see we're dropping a lot of frames, but still hitting 90 frames per second on average. this is because of something meta does called phase sync, which is pretty annoying. basically it tries to guess how long a frame will take to render, and if it thinks it wont take that long, it adds a little delay. but each frame could take a range of times to run based on what you're doing, so unfortunately, a lot of the time it really just ends up making you drop 1 or 2 frames randomly. so you can see in forest, we have a pretty good average frame rate, but we're constantly dropping a frame or two here and there.
for the next release, January 23rd, you can see it's actually running a lot better! we added in something to basically smooth out the frames so phase sync didn't impact things as much. this ended up being really nice because it means we were dropping way fewer random frames. but, you can see that we're still dropping a decent number of frames, and in city, we're still really struggling. city is the worst because we have the mirror running in there, which is an extra camera, so it has to render a lot of things twice which is pretty slow.
the next release was feb 4, which introduced the 20 player rooms, and you can see things slowed down even more. this is because we had to pre-load 20 gorillas instead of 10, and each of them could have any of the more than a thousand cosmetics we have in game. even if they weren't active, they were still ending up taxing the game, between having to keep track of all those objects and the extra memory from creating a bunch of extra instances. so performance was struggling and we had to put out a hot patch to try to address things to reduce the memory requirements. so we wanted to do a bigger change to help address all these problems.
and then for the release today, drumroll please...
whoah!!! this last one is from today. the change we made was basically, instead of preloading all cosmetics for every gorilla, instead we just load the ones we need when someone is wearing one. this was a lot harder than it sounds, because the way the cosmetics loaded, it always assumed every cosmetic already exists (which goes back to how i initially implemented things. i didn't expect to be here five years later, so i didn't think that far ahead, lol). you can see we're now hitting frame rates basically everywhere except ghost reactor (which has the extra lighting which is really expensive), even in city with the mirror!!!. things will now be running a lot better both in normal games and even in 20 player rooms.
i hope this was fun to take a look at, and please let us know if you notice the difference! since the movement is heavily dependent on frame rate, moving around and playing tag should feel a lot better in general, the game should load faster, and it should be less crashy, to boot!

We want to address some questions about content management.
Historically, and long before many of our newer members joined, Gorilla Tag and Another Axiom have taken a clear stance on inclusion in Game and within this Discord.
During the first year of Gorilla Tag, just months after its was released on applab, we changed our logo to include a Pride background. In the days that followed, we banned over 1,500 people due to hate directed at the LGBTQIA+ community (Please do ask any old members what that was like at the time, and the years that followed every Pride Month), at that time, that represented well over 10 percent of the entire Discord Member base. For a growing game, that was a significant decision. We made it anyway and continue to stand by that when the world is shying away from publicly making any stance that damages âbusinessâ.
We kept that icon because inclusion is not performative for us, it may change for events but it will always be in our space. It is a visible commitment. We will not tolerate hate based on gender, sexuality, race, religion, age, or any other characteristic. If the choice is between people leaving the Discord or allowing hate to spread, we will always choose to remove the hate.
Recently, there has been controversy around blocking the 'BoyKisser' sticker and the term 'femboy'. This decision was not made because we oppose LGBTQ+ people, femboys, or furries. It was made because of how those terms and stickers were being miss-used within the community. Boundaries were pushed repeatedly and not in the spirit of the community and what it should represent, and content crossed into areas that were not appropriate for this space. - When that happens, we do act.
Our moderators have clear instructions. If something sits in a grey area, remove it. This is intentional. The system is designed to fail safe.
If we remove something unnecessarily, the worst outcome is mild inconvenience. If we leave something up that turns out to be harmful, the consequences are far more serious.
These blocks are not being reversed. Outcry does not override moderation decisions.
Accusing Another Axiom or targeting individuals and accusing them of being anti-trans or anti-LGBTQ because we enforced boundaries misunderstands the situation. The issue is not identity. The issue is behavior and it was behavior within the community that led to this outcome.
We will continue building the safest space we can. That sometimes means making unpopular decisions.

đ Steam Account Linking is Now Live
You can now link your Steam account to Discord.
Here
Sorry before anyone gets too excited, this is not the Steam subscription and it does not grant access to the Gorilla Tag Fan Club or Very Important Monke status just yet but it is the first step in making it happen. There is still no ETA on that. - With Meta, we were able to connect to Metas subscription system. For Steam, we need to build a bespoke system from the ground up. That backend work is still in progress, and we will share more when we can.
Linking grants the âTrue Monke đľâ Role
This role recognises players who actively play Gorilla Tag. We know many people in the Discord are here because it is a great community, even if they do not play yet. That is completely fine and you are always welcome here.
The True Monke role simply helps us recognise verified players within the server.
Looking Ahead: In the future, it opens the door to some fun features and community plans we are excited about. We are looking forward to sharing more once those are ready.
Important Note
You can only link one account to Discord.
If you have both a Meta account and a Steam account, you will need to choose which one to link. You cannot link both at the same time. (If you have VIM please leave it linked to your Meta as you will lose the VIM role if you switch)

Hey, we were trying some new things with this event, like more interactions and gameplay, but we heard there were players who saw some bugs and had some issues joining the event itself. we wanna make sure these events stay cool and special, but at the same time we wanna make sure people who were there get to experience it if it wasn't their fault things didn't work. we're considering re-running the event as a result, so please let us know if that's something you'd like to see! Posting a poll below!

hey everyone! thanks for bearing with us, and we hear you loud and clear: we're gonna re-run the event tomorrow! it'll be tomorrow (sunday) at 11 am pacific 2 pm eastern, so the same time as today. the only hitch is we have daylight savings time changing, so keep an eye out for teh in game timer, or check this countdown: <t:1772992800:R>
we really appreciate your patience as we work through the bugs and issues, we know you're all excited about the game and just want it to be as good as it can be, and we are super grateful to have you all as fans. we can consider this some kind of alien/ghost/who knows temporal event, we really do want to keep these to a minimum but the most important thing is to make sure everyone's having a good time. see you tomorrow!

hey everyone! me again. i'm really sorry that there was another issue with the event; we put in a lot of time yesterday to re-test and verify things, but it sounds like there was a new issue that didn't appear in the testing (to get technical, we have ways in game of determining when an event is supposed to start in game, so it triggers for everyone. it sounds like what happened is that somehow, this got internally conflicted, so one timer went off (countdown and opening the door), and another one didn't (the one that actually teleports you to the event. there's a timing delay to allow for the door opening))
this one was on me, i was hoping to get things working for everyone today. it sounds like for most people the event still went off, but it sucks for people who showed up when they were supposed to and still ran into issues. it's clear that the real reason things didn't work hasn't been figured out, even though i felt good about it. to let everyone in on my current thinking (i haven't cleared this with the team yet, they're still off because it's a weekend, but i wanted to let everyone here know what our plan is for transparency), i want to figure out for certain what's going on with the timing bug and the teleport bug. i can't give a timeline, and just re-running the event today would run into the same issues. so, just to let everyone know what the plan is:
- keep everyone here in the loop
- go back to the team and figure out what the specific bugs are
- let everyone here know when the issue is fixed for sure, and what we might do to handle the event. it's feeling kind of old hat to keep running it over and over, so we'll get everyone's feedback and figure out how we should handle it over the next week
thanks again for all your patience and for caring so much about our game! programming can be really hard when you are a small rodent, but i'll keep trying my best!
also, we have another message coming about a topic that's really important, please keep anything related to the game in responses to me and my posts about the bugs and event and stuff!

We want to make sure Gorilla Tag and Orion Drift stay stable and run better going forward, we need to do some impactful maintenance on our systems.
đ Downtime MAY start: Around 03AM PST / 10AM GMT 18th March 2026
âą Expected duration: 1 to 2 hours
If there is any downtime it will be temporary.
Gorilla Tag will have offline play but no cosmetics, Orion Drift will not - Multiplayer will not work for either game during this period.
If everything goes smoothly, we will be back quickly. There is a chance it could take longer, but we will keep you updated.
Servers should be up and running again now

hey everyone! bad news for today, but the event had to be delayed. some of us were up all night trying to get it ready, but after last time, it was just too risky to try to release it and run into a problem like we did last time where people had issues and it didn't run well. we're going to delay it by one week, so it'll be on next saturday, 4/11, at the same time! the other events (like the easter egg hunt) are still gonna run as normal

Updates to the Nexus Creator Codes
Weâve seen many creators join the program since Creator Codes launched, and we want to make things simpler and easier to understand for everyone.
Moving forward, Creator Codes are linked to the Another Axiom Creator Program.
That means thereâs now one clear path to getting a code: Apply for AAC, and if youâre accepted, youâll receive a Creator Code.
This also means Creator Codes are no longer focused only on things like minimum subscriber counts or views per month.
It opens the door for more types of creators, including people who may not make video content but still make a big impact in the community through AAC.
By bringing everything under one roof it should be easier to understand, and easier for us to support creators as the community keeps growing.
*Note: If you currently have a Creator Code but are not yet an AAC, we are reviewing accounts and may reach out with an AAC application link.
We believe this gives current code holders a fair opportunity to transition.*

hey! just an update about the login issues from earlier, we fixed the root cause, but there was an issue where if you played while things were messed up, you might not be able to get an auth token from meta. basically there's a daily limit, and the bug could put you over your limit if you played more than half an hour. we fixed the issue, and are trying to see if we can get things flushed so you can log back in normally. if not, things should be naturally fixed by tomorrow. if you're seeing any auth issues now, that should be the reason. I'll post again if we can get it fixed sooner, otherwise everything should be back to normal by tomorrow

just an update about the above issue, we weren't able to clear things up more quickly, so if you're still having issues logging in, try again in a few hours or later today and it should be cleared up. thanks again for your patience!

đŹ GorillaCon Film Festival Update đŹ
The response to the GorillaCon Film Festival has been incredible, seeing the community rally around the idea, pitching films, building stories, creating cinematics, and pushing the boundaries of what Gorilla Tag content can be made. GorillaCon Film Festival is becoming a full celebration of creativity, filmmaking, and the passion this community brings to Gorilla Tag.
So as an update...
đ Introducing the inaugural Golden Monke Paw Awards đ
At GorillaCon, weâll be handing out THREE real-life Golden Monke Paw trophies to standout films showcased during the event:
- The Audience Award: Awarded to the film that gets the loudest applause from the crowd.
- The Judges Award: Chosen by our official jury of monke judges.
- The Nice Gorilla Award: Awarded to the film that best represents the positive, inclusive spirit of the Gorilla Tag community.
And importantly, you do not need to compete for a Golden Monke Paw Award to participate. If you simply want your film showcased and played during GorillaCon, you can absolutely still submit a video without entering the awards portion of the festival.
How to Submit
To make sure we see your submission, please send either:
- an unlisted video link, or
- the video file directly, or
to: FilmFestSubmission@anotheraxiom.com by June 10
Note: In order to be eligible to win a Golden Monke Paw Award, your film must be a Worldwide Premiere at GorillaCon.
That means your film must debut for the very first time at GorillaCon to qualify for an award. You can still submit a cool video to be played at the Film Festival.
 â The video must not have been previously uploaded to YouTube
 â No TikTok uploads
 â No public posting before the festival (edited)

@everyone the game is finally up on Steam! If everyone could wishlist it, that would be very helpful (since it gives the game more visibility) even if you're only playing on Quest. I got the game approved on Sidequest, but I want to release them simultaneously, so I'll link the Sidequest store once it's published.
The release date will be February 12th, at noon PST, so I'll be trying to play all day then and hopefully we can get new people as well!

People have started getting really good, so a lot of the pub lobbies filled with new players can feel a little dull in terms of the thrill of running away and catching people. If you want to join some lobbies where people are gonna be focused more on playing as hard as they can, we're going to try an experiment. If you want to join one of these lobbies, we'll use this convention: TRYHARD, TRYHARD2, TRYHARD3, etc. So if TRYHARD is full, you can try TRYHARD2 and so on. Hopefully this way we can get some higher skilled lobbies. I might try to implement something a little bit more automatic in game in the future. Feel free to also spread the word!

I made a news post update, please let me know what you think:
Hey guys! It's been about a week since the last update, I don't quite have the next one ready, but I wanted to talk a little bit about the near term future of the game. Basically, things have kept exploding, and I'd really like to keep up the momentum. I think I might really have a once in a lifetime opportunity here, so I want to take it seriously. I've been working on a few things so far this week (although I've also been really busy at work, so I haven't been able to get as much done as I wanted), but one of the primary things is some cosmetics! I've talked about them a bit in the last few updates, and wanted to let you guys know that now I am taking some time to get them in the game. Right now what I am thinking is I will have this initial set of cosmetics, which will include some things that you will keep permanently but will also be available to other players in some form in the future (like the cowboy hat and sunglasses), and the Early Access Supporter Badge, which will be exclusive to this DLC and won't be available anymore once this Early Access period is over. Here is what I have so far:
I'm planning on adding a few more things (people in the discord mentioned that these are mostly male focused cosmetics which is totally accurate lol), so this isn't the complete set, but the cosmetics will be something along these lines. I'm also not sure how much I should charge for it; I was initially thinking $5, but I've also had a bunch of people suggest it could be more. I don't want to be greedy and charge too much, but I also don't want to leave money on the table unnecessarily. I think I've already made a mistake by not having anything available for sale at launch, and I want to try to be smart about it. What do people think is more fair? What if I did something like charge $10, but have a discount for the first few weeks or something? I'd really like your guys' feedback on this, because I want to make sure people don't feel like I'm taking advantage of them.
Another problem is that for right now, I can only really sell something on Steam, so the Quest players are going to be left out for a while unless they play through Link. I feel pretty bad about this, because it seems unfair to only let some people get access to the cosmetics for now. The problem is that for the Quest, since I'm trying to get onto the Oculus app store through their App Labs, if I did that I wouldn't be able to apply something they bought on a third party store to that account, or at least at this point I don't think I can. My plan would be to make sure that no matter what, I have a way for people on Quest to get access to the cosmetics at some point. I'm posting this on both the Steam page and the Sidequest page, so hopefully you guys can give me some feedback on this as well. Would you Quest players be alright with Steam players having access to these cosmetics before you do? Should I wait until I can sell it everywhere at the same time? I wouldn't make it so you could only get the Early Access badge on the Steam store, but I also don't know how long it would be until it would be available. Like I said, I'm trying to make sure people feel like I'm being fair, and from my perspective I want to start selling something sooner rather than later. Every day I'm not I feel like I'm missing on an opportunity.
Anyway, cosmetics aside, I'm also working on some important features like being able to join public rooms with more friends at once (so basically you'd join a private room together, and then you could choose to join a public room all at the same time), as well as another queue for players who are trying to match against other people who opt in to that queue as a way for better players to match together more easily. I'm also adding some other features like push to talk/push to mute, a speaker icon on the scoreboard that shows up when someone is talking, as well as the start of a better account system so I can keep track of what cosmetics people have access to on the back end. I'm hoping to maybe have all this stuff available by Friday next week or so. I'm also starting work on a new canyon map, although I can't say for sure whether or not that will make it into the next update. I will probably do some changes on the Cave map first that I think will help flesh it out a little bit more.
Thanks again for all your feedback and excitement around the game. I'm extremely happy that everyone's enjoying the game and having a good time playing together. I'll keep working hard at it, and please do let me know what you think about the cosmetics situation. Thanks!

new patch!
A few things here and there, but the biggest thing is that now there are different sounds when you tap different surfaces, and the different regions have some ambient audio that will make it feel a little cooler to just be there bouncing around.
-added a message of the day board to show messages and game update info
-added ambient sounds to different regions
-modified player volume and volume compression
-added different sounds when hitting different surfaces
-added particles to rock gorilla
-fixed issue with joining pub rooms as a group
-fixed an exploit to escape playable area

hardy talon
new patch!
Another relatively small patch, but this has a few changes mostly targeted towards reducing the impact of hackers (I think the reporting system has been pretty good about this overall, but there are a few potential nasty issues that I wanted to take care of before they could get out of control):
-protection against certain kinds of hacks that could freeze or launch you into the air
-no more neon colors
-removed long names with non-alphanumeric characters
-name length increased to 12 characters
-improved some performance relating to the scoreboards
I know the last few patches haven't been very big, but thanks for bearing with me. I've been going pretty full tilt since release, and it's been difficult keeping up that schedule alongside my full time job. I'm going to keep doing my best, and hopefully things will pick up again. Thanks for playing!
hardy talon
just a heads up, there seems to be an issue with the oculus store at the moment, it's causing problems for lots of different apps and accounts. i dont have any info about what's going on exactly or when it'll be fixed, but oculus is apparently aware of the issue
https://www.reddit.com/r/OculusQuest/comments/oh2jxn/psa_oculus_issues_792021/
if you're having trouble downloading or installing the game, this could be the cause. hopefully it's fixed soon
hardy talon
new patch!
pretty small. this should help a lot with performance on quest especially, there was a memory leak that was causing garbage collection to happen every second or so which caused a ton of frame drops.
-fixed memory leak
-fixed bug where you would randomly get tagged sometimes when someone joined the room
hardy talon
new patch!
There is now music in the Forest! It only plays every so often, so stick around until it starts playing! I think you'll like it.
Not a giant patch, but I think the music is very great.
- added a song to the forest that plays every so often
- fixed some issues with the afk kick
- fixed some bad geo in caves that was making it easy to exploit
- fixed a bug on quest that was making the lighting wacky, so decreased the brightness on pc a bit since it was set too high to make sure the quest lighting looked ok
- added an admin badge only for admins, to prove who they are (i'm the only admin lol). so if someone says they're an admin and they don't have the badge, they're lying!
also i highly recommend listening to the song in game, but if you cant or just want to listen to it anyway here it is https://soundcloud.com/user-642986894/monke-need-to-swing check it out in game first though!!
hardy talon
new beta, check out some details in #beta-patch-updates this one is fairly large, so i'd like to get some more eyes on it. there's a new branch for it as well (BETA2 on quest and beta2 on steam) since i dont want people who had opted into the old betas to get automatically pulled into this one
hardy talon
not sure why the servers went done for a bit (like 20 minutes), but they shoudl be back to normal. im gonna try to figure out what happened
hardy talon
cosmetics update is out! wowweeweowowoweweweeoweeoe
patch notes:
-new cosmetics area
-slippery walls a little more slippery
-i dont really remember all the changes i made but it's mostly related to the new area lol
hardy talon
halloween patch! added a few new costumes available to purchase during the month of october, and there's a free hat for everyone there as well.
fix for a few smaller issues: dead gorilla bug, shiny rocks disburse more quickly on login and have a message indicating if they've been disbursed successfully, fix for duplicate private rooms, more informative ip ban message
hardy talon
hey everyone, there are some oculus server outages. if you're using quest, your hats are inaccessible at the moment, but they're safe and willbe back once oculus's servers are back up and running
hardy talon
looks like the oculus servers might be back up and running, things seem to be returning to normal. lemme know if you're still running into issues after restarting the game
hardy talon
looking into server issues
it looks like the issue is with playfab, im trying to see what's up (i havent seen their server status page indicate there's a problem, but i cant ping the api endpoint and i saw a post from someone else saying they were seeing issues with their game)
hardy talon
https://status.playfab.com/ was updated, showing partial server outages
hardy talon
servers look like they're coming back up!!!! im able to play again
hardy talon
small patch! fix for some issues relating to cosmetics not showing up appropriately, as well as leaving the game running for too long. also made it night time for halloween! dont get too scared of the dark!
hardy talon
issues logging in with steam right now. im not sure exactly whats up, but im pretty sure it's just on steam's side
hardy talon
steam issues appear to be resolved! you can login again
hardy talon
there's been a significant uptick over the past few weeks in people griefing games in private rooms. previously, i've been relatively lenient about this, but due to the sheer number of them i'm forced to treat them more severely. you are not free to use mods to cheat in private rooms. i'm going to treat this more or less like cheating in public rooms at this point, since the problem has been getting worse and worse.
if you are using mods, you are using them at your own risk. if people are reporting you for cheating, then that's evidence you were using them inappropriately. it's up to you to make sure that everyone else is ok with you using them, it is NOT other peoples' responsibility to put up with it. if you want to make sure everyone is fine with mods, you probably want to coordinate it in advance.
hardy talon
new update! halloween is over, i hope everyone had a fun time! just a small one today.
-removing temporary halloween store, change time to sunrise, it's now fall in the forest, added two reskinned hats for early access dlc owners
hardy talon
fall 2.0!
adding temporary fall cosmetics
fixed some issues with geo colliders in the store
fixed issue where some people were put in the wrong queue
adjusted colors (mainly for quest)
added falling leaves
adjusted rain particles and audio
theres an issue with cosmetics not appearing for other players, im not sure what happened but part of the build got messed up. fixing it now, none of the info is messed up though. fix coming soon
hardy talon
new builds going out, should be fixed if you update!
hardy talon
hey everyone, unfortunately there's a nasty kick hack going around at the moment. i'm going to be making some game changes that will hopefully make this less of an issue, but in the meantime it's luckily very easy to detect, so everyone using it is getting permanently banned. thanks for your patience while i deal with it
hardy talon
https://twitter.com/Oculus_Dev/status/1460689122528399361 im working on this as we speak! please be patient, but i'll get it in as soon as i can!
Twitter
hardy talon
also just to set expectations about the above: i need to make sure everything is working correctly, purchases aren't getting lost, if there are any communication issues between oculus and playfab your rocks don't disappear into the ether, etc. it's going to take me a bit to make sure that everything is rock solidly tested because i really want to make sure i dont release something that causes a ton of problems! but it will be the next big thing i work on, so it'll be in as soon as i can get it
hardy talon
new patch! not related to the shiny rocks, sorry. nothing earth shattering, but a few important things, plus it should help with the kick hack in the short term
-update to some of the networking logic, this will be necessary for some changes coming down the line
-added a game mode selector, removed the "casual" queue
-fix for some issues with gorillas having incorrect skin
-hopefully a fix for the last person being tagged out of nowhere bug
hardy talon
hey guys, some unfortunate news. i didn't want to say anything until i was completely sure, but over the past few days, gorilla tag has been targeted by a hacker. it's been the cause of the random crashes that were happening the other day (they were going around destroying rooms, and anyone who joined a destroyed room would crash). after yesterday's patch, that issue stopped popping up, but then the issue where people would turn invisible and stuff started happening. i'm not totally sure what the cause is, but it seems to be happening when they join a room and destroy it. luckily, it's not causing crashes, and people who join the room later aren't as affected, but i'm still trying to pin down what's going on
thanks for your patience while i deal with this. the only silver lining is that they weren't very intelligent and didn't cover their tracks very well, and they connected with their personal accounts and home network before they started using vpn's. i'm planning on following up with the relevant authorities once i have a little bit more time, since i'm pretty confident they've targeted other photon-based games as well, and it really sucks that they're doing this to people
hardy talon
new patch has gone out just fixing a few issues:
fix for joining specific rooms
fix for group join
fix for users being permanently muted even if you try to unmute them
hardy talon
pushed a patch that will hopefully help deal with the invisibility hack going around
hardy talon
hey guys, just an announcement that there will be a little bit of downtime tonight. i'm planning on doing it from about 12AM PDT until whenever it's done, should be about 30 minutes or so. there'll be a new patch and i'm going to be doing something i dont usually do which is that the servers will be down completely for a short period of time while i bring the new patch out. i'll try to keep it quick and during a period where not many people are playing. that's about 6 hours from now.
thanks for your patience, hopefully i dont have to do stuff like this too often
hardy talon
servers coming down! be back soon
hardy talon
we should be back in business! please update your game and it should start working again, let me know if there are any issues after you've been able to get in
sorry forgot to add notes!:
-make it so when you press option 1 it's a little less laggy (still laggy, but should be better)
-hopefully better protection from the hack that causes the floating dead gorillas
hardy talon
hey guys, i've been keeping an eye on the changes, and it looks like they're not working correctly. things still mostly work, but there are some errors happening that i didnt see in testing, and i think it's safer to revert those things before more people get online. thanks for bearing with me, hopefully this will be quick. servers will come down soon
servers coming down now, hopefully back up quick
hardy talon
things should be back to normalish! please let me know if there are any ongoing issues
hardy talon
oh boy, it's finally here! iap have just been added to oculus, so if you're on quest (and most people are) you can finally buy the early access supporter pack and additional shiny rocks!
these changes were tested by some people who generously donated their time, and i didn't see any issues pop up with purchases so far. im releasing this at low population hours so i can keep an eye on the purchases and see if anything is going wrong. if something unexpected happens, i might roll back the changes to prevent any issues, but hopefully everything goes smoothly. thanks again for all your support!
patch notes:
-added iap to the oculus platform
-there's a new early access kiosk. this only works on oculus, since the early access pack is a dlc on steam
-fix for spot people were using to glitch out of the map in city
hardy talon
looks like there have been issues with photon for about the past hour, right now it looks like eu is being affected. im keeping an eye on things, but hopefully stuff goes back to normal soon. this site has information about photon's server status: https://www.photonengine.com/status
hardy talon
looks like photon servers are being ddos'd. from what they've said on the status page, they're dealing with it as well as they can, but if weird issues pop up here and there, it's most likely a result of that
hardy talon
there's currently some issues with voice chat, im taking a look into it
hardy talon
looks like some more issues with photon servers, it appears to be a similar issue as the other day. im keeping an eye on it, but there's not much i can do directly for now.
hardy talon
It's winter in Gorilla World!!!! Hooray my favorite season!!!
-removed fall cosmetics
-added holiday/new year cosmetics
-it's winter now!
-improved movement logic to make it harder to glitch through objects
-added fix for bug where if one of the regions were down, it would stop you from joining any games
-can no longer purchase early access pack while you're currently banned
hardy talon
There's a new game mode in Gorilla Tag! Choose Hunt at the game selector (where it was just Casual and Infection before). You get a secret target to hunt down and tag. If you get hunted down, you can still tag surviving hunters to slow them down. Last two hunters win!
notes:
-new hunt game mode
-fixed some holiday lights being messed up
-fixed snow materials on ramp
-raised volume of snow collisions a bit
hardy talon
hey everyone! oculus seems to be having some issues right now, so if you're running into problems with your game not installing or your cosmetics not showing up or not being able to authenticate your account, that's probably what's happening. i'll let you know if things clear up, but if you're on oculus and running into problems right now that's probably what's going on
hardy talon
it's looking like things might be more back to normal on the oculus side, i'll let you know if i see anything else going on
hardy talon
well, back to normal-ish. there were some issues with oculus purchases going on for a while that resulted in some people inappropriately getting extra rocks. i'm going to go back and manually fixing the duplicate purchases (since this was an error in their favor, i'm not going to remove everything since they might have made some extra purchases with their windfall, but i'm reducing the rocks to a more sane amount). consider yourselves lucky if you got a little holiday treat!
tired cradle
Happy Holidays you guys!!
tired cradle
Happy New Years everyone!
hardy talon
it's winter time in gorilla world! it's day again, but it's still cold out. keep warm with some of the new winter cosmetics! everyone gets some rosy cheeks as well for the season.
-removed holiday event, added winter cosmetics, updated canyon including new audio pieces, updated cave, reworked purchasing flow on back end
tired cradle
Hey guys, as you can tell weâre being raided. We know whatâs happening no need to ping us more than weâve been pinged. Weâve locked necessary channels, turned up verification levels. Etc etc. donât spam memes or gifs or you can and will be caught in the crossfire.
hardy talon
there's been some weird stuff happening today with people seeing that they've been banned for ban evasion inappropriately. im still investigating what's going on, but it seems like if you restart the game that fixes it, so if you see that happen give it a try
hardy talon
valentine's update is out! check out some of the new cosmetics! there are also new mechanics for the slippery surfaces in preparation for a future update, as well as a new song in the caves! it rules, check it out
-new audio for caves
-snow a little darker4
-new valentine's day cosmetics
-fix for being able to mute different areas independently
-updated mechanics for how slippery surfaces work

something's up with the servers, i'm taking a look into it
hardy talon
hopefully the server issues have been resolved. please try logging back in!
looks like servers are up, but there are some issues with being able to see other players' cosmetics. taking a look into this
cosmetics seem to start to be working again, try restarting your game or rejoining the rooms you're in
hardy talon
alright, i think i might know what's happening with the cosmetics. there was a period of about 30 minutes where the game was up, but the cosmetics were all broken. i believe any room created during this time period will probably remain completely busted. this will probably mean that i will need to push a new build of the game to force everyone out of those rooms and into new ones, or the cosmetics will remain broken in those rooms. i'll be working on doing this now
hardy talon
new build is going out that will force everyone onto new rooms. please update! it should fix the problems with the cosmetics
hardy talon
looks like photon is having some issues at the moment, i'm taking a look into the server issues
hardy talon
it's possible there's a connection to what's going on referenced here https://status.playfab.com/ im still trying to figure out exactly what's going on
hardy talon
it looks like things might potentially be improving, if you;'ve been having issues wait a few minutes and give it another try
hardy talon
Happy one year Gorilla Tag Anniversary!!
I can't believe it's been a year already, I really can't. Thanks so much to everyone who played the game, who shared it, who made cool fanart, and who ran around screaming "monke." It's been a crazy year, and I really don't have much else to say but thank you!
I've been really busy with some updates that you might have some clues about from some of the betas and leaks. I hope you'll understand that there's just a small update for the anniversary. Check out the city for a few free gifts! They'll be available for everyone to grab for a week.
Also fixed a bug with muting the audio in caves and canyon
hardy talon
it's finally starting to warm up again! the snow is melted, but the trees haven't started to bloom yet.
also, the gorillas found some household objects laying around, i'm not sure they know how to use them correctly though
hardy talon
there are currently some issues with the photon servers, it seems like it's mostly affecting useast. hopefully things improve soon https://twitter.com/photon_status/status/1501675167189192713?s=20&t=FuVks3G-gmoHakJ5STfHag
hardy talon
seems like things should be resolved now https://twitter.com/photon_status/status/1501702200464191497?
hardy talon
That's right, for the first time in a while, we have a new map! Check it out (the tree was getting a little crowded, so it's in the city!)
There are also some new Spring cosmetics! I didn't finish all of them in time, so there'll be a few new ones coming in the next few days. I've been working really hard at the new map, so I didn't have as much time to work on cosmetics. Regardless, I hope you enjoy what's there and look forward to more!
Notes:
new mountain map
updated sliding mechanics
new spring cosmetics (with more to come) replacing household cosmetics
hardy talon
There's a new obstacle course in the City. You need to beat it to join the competitive queue! Check it out!
Also fixes a few bugs from the last patch.
-fix movement issue where you wouldn't stick to certain surfaces properly
-added competitive queue obstacle course in city
-normalized sliding surface steering control across different refresh rates
-updated motd screen to turn yellow when the message has changed
-fixed bug with not starting in tutorial appropriately for new players
hardy talon
Yeah yeah I know it's a lot of updates! I hope that's good, though.
Just a tiny one, added a Leprechaun Hat for St Patrick's Day, and a new Mountain pin for all Mountain enjoyers
Have a good St Patrick's Day everyone! Have fun and be safe!
hardy talon
Spring is fully here! The rest of the Spring cosmetics are now in the store, and the cherry blossoms have bloomed! Check it out!
You can now, finally, hold items in your hands separately from the badge slot! You can also hold one item in each hand (except the items that already apply to both hands), and you can switch hands you're holding items with. Have fun!
The slippery surfaces have also been adjusted a bit. You have a little less directional control on fully slippery surfaces (previously, you could change your direction by about 33% every second, and now you can only do about 20%). The slippery walls in the other maps have also changed back to using some older logic for movement, but there's a new higher band on Forest that is fully slippery.
hardy talon
There are currently some performance issues on Q1 or Q2 running at 120hz, in the meantime if you're on Q2 try turning hz back down to 90hz while I investigate
hardy talon
spent all day looking into the performance issues; even if i go back to older versions, i'm still seeing performance problems that i feel like i didn't before. still trying to figure out what's going on, but i'm starting to get suspicious of headset updates making a difference. either way, i've figured out some fairly substantial changes, so there'll probably be a beta soon (some of the changes involve making the game logic more performant) most likely
hardy talon
if you've been having performance issues (especially on q2 and q1), please check out the PERFTEST beta that's currently going on, it has a bunch of improvement that should significantly improve the fps situation. there's nothing new in there, but i want to run a short beta to make sure i'm not breaking anything
hardy talon
There's a new update! It didn't change much in the actual game, but performance should be a lot better, especially for anyone who was having frame issues in City or Forest. In the course of making these changes, some of the textures look a little different. To be honest I'm not really sure why, it's all the same images, just arranged differently.
i think there's an issue with the quest build, taking a look now
ok, a fixed version should be uploaded, if you were having issues try updating and going again
hardy talon
I felt like things were getting a little samey, so now there's a new time of day in the game. Lemme know what you think!
There are also a few other bug fixes, most notably fixing a lot of the glitches that let people escape the maps. It's not totally fixed, but things should be a lot better. If I need to make more changes in the future, I will.
Patch Notes:
made it more difficult to escape the map
fixed bug with computer showing wrong color screen sometimes
changed time of day
fixed some bugs with geo and sounds
standardized more of the textures
hardy talon
Whoops, looks like April Fool's came a little early. Things should be back to normal for now
hardy talon
Happy Normal Day, everyone! I hope everyone has a good day of playing regular Gorilla Tag, just like every day.

There's some new cosmetics in the store! Better stock up on rain gear, it looks like it could start raining in the near future!

Fix for a few issues going out, nothing too big:
fix for being able to try on two handed items alongside a one handed item, the tryon area will now correctly only allow the two handed item
fix for the name filter being too aggressive for some new terms added (over-aggressive bans have been removed)
fix for day night cycle not updating correctly in certain cases, especially on quest

The rain system is finally in! Check it out, it should start raining sometime later today. There are also a few new cosmetics to help keep the rain off. There are also some lights in the different areas that will turn on at night to make things a little cozier.
There's also a new minigames queue! Check it out on the Queue tab on the computer, you'll be able to play with other people also looking to play minigames.

There are some new Music cosmetics available in the store, including a few sets of drums! I'm trying something new, so this is taking me a little longer than I expected. There'll be some more stuff available soon!
hardy talon
There's an issue with the hair colors being swapped on your character, it's being fixed right now
hardy talon
A fix for the above issue is rolling out, people are also noticing some issues with the drums not playing correctly in some cases. I think this happens when a ton of people are all trying to play at once, I can't address it immediately so a fix for that will be coming later
hardy talon
The rest of the music update is here! New guitars have been added, it's time to wave them around and bash some notes on them maybe. It's also getting more summery, so the leaves have changed to green, and there's a new campfire to enjoy, as well as a new song that plays in the forest at night.
There are also a few smaller changes - you can no longer hear instruments played by players you've muted, and there's a new ITEM menu on the computer (previously was for changing cosmetics particles), where you can enable or disable particles on items or change the volume of instruments for other players.
hardy talon
A fix for the issue with the drum volume is going out, update should be there soon
hardy talon
a hotfix is going out for the broken servers issue, please check to see if an update is available
hardy talon
another small hotfix is going out to fix some reporting issues

another hotfix is going out that should address a few issues, hopefully the dead gorilla bug has been quashed, not 100% sure though

i dont really like discussing personal things, so i havent talked about it before, but my dad's been sick for a while now. he's gotten worse recently and ive been spending a lot of time visiting him. he was admitted to the hospital today, and we're not sure how things are gonna be going. i was trying to get an update out this week, but that's probably not going to happen.
thanks for your patience and support. ill try to let everyone know when the next update is closer to being released.
hardy talon
hotfix just went out to address the issues with the spammed gorillas in lobbies
hardy talon
Thanks again for everyone's patience. Summer is (finally) here! Check out some of the new seasonal cosmetics! Just make sure you don't spend too much time in the sun and get burned!
There's also a beta available for a new game mode: Battle! Using your paintball slingshot, take out all the other gorillas! Last one with any balloons left wins! Note that this is still an early beta, and it is nowhere near done yet. It will be available for a few days, since I mostly want to do some testing and feedback over how well the game mode works, how fun it is, and any tweaks it needs before I finish polishing it. It will only be available for a few days, then I'll take it down again so I can continue working on it.
Known issues with the beta:
-all handheld items except the slingshot are disabled. I'm working on a more elegant system for this.
-you can only change the hand you're holding the slingshot with by pressing the Battle button with different hands. This is going to be worked on. If it doesn't change hands correctly, try restarting
-slingshot doesn't move on other players
-none of the graphics and effects are final
hm, there's an issue that didn't show up in my testing for the new beta. i think it has something to do with changing room hosts. anyway, it's a beta! taking a look now
