[final mauve]

Because in this game if they can see you they can shoot you whereas redlight greenlight just requires you to stand still

[mellow notch]

Colosseum Mode, Sheriff's / Vigilante / Ducks-like jobs fight in the circle and the last person to win. a maximum of eight people

[final mauve]

I believe Fowl Play is going to be similar to this

[verbal fable]

That game mode is goosehunt but getting to one end to the other. The prisoners could easily win if they don't see any geese with their lights on the ducks

[final mauve]

would really depend on how the map was set up

in goosehunt, it is 1 duck vs everyone else, and the geese can go anywhere on the map. The map I envision for this means the ducks have to risk getting seen to move forward, and if they are seen they are dead

[craggy pulsar]

%idea findingoose
Goose 1-3
duck 13-15

• Ducks do not recognize each other.
• Ducks can kill ducks on the same team.
• The goose team wins if there are more ducks than the duck team.
• If you find a body, you can report it.

[wooden sluice]

Thanks @craggy pulsar for your feedback, we'll be sure to look at it

[final mauve]

So in order to win the geese have to hope the ducks kill enough of each other?

[craggy pulsar]

yes

[final mauve]

So this is dine and dash except one side can't do any kills

So, if the geese are outnumbered that badly, and have no way to kill, the ducks' odds of winning would be very high just from killing at random

[craggy pulsar]

Then it seems like we should give the Goose team a job that can kill.

[final mauve]

yes, but there is already game mode like that, Dine and Dash

[craggy pulsar]

oh

I didn't know

[final mauve]

2-3 vultures/falcon and the rest are ducks

[craggy pulsar]

ok

[noble wasp]

It also just sounds like Classic but with blind ducks.

[flat forge]

Fowl Play?

[noble wasp]

An upcoming game mode: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lJqNc_yXR4c

[flat forge]

Do we even know what's fowl Play about?

Really

The only thing we know that everyone is dead

[twin mortar]

I wish someone would tell me

[flat forge]

Shawn were waiting sooo long for fowl play

Tell US something

Cmon man

[twin mortar]

Ask questions 🙂 I will answer

I have nothing to hide. Never have avoided answering questions.

[noble wasp]

Shawn, what's the secret of Fowl Play? It's been 8 months since that video!

[twin mortar]

There is no secret, its a game/gamemode we're making

It might be a stand-alone game.

[vestal aspen]

What is the idea of this game mode? Does it keep the social deduction theme, or does it have a theme of killing as many people, or a hide-and-seek kind of game, etc…?

[twin mortar]

We're still working on the nuances but basically its going to be a bit like clue meets battle royale.

As you play you learn information about your target. Once you think you've gotten your target you try to assassinate them.

After killing them you inherit their target.

Rinse and repeat until you're down to the final two...

[vestal aspen]

Ah I see.

[flat forge]

They are still propably gonna make US wait a long time for fowl play

[dapper cipher]

One day closer than yesterday

[flat forge]

Can u look into Ur dms?

[noble wasp]

Everyone has a target to kill in Fowl Play? And you can only kill after you know who your target is?

[vestal aspen]

I’de assume that they can kill anyone, but they have consequences for killing the wrong person.

[dry cargo]

%gamemode
Spider Saliva

The Spider can or cannot be replaced with anyone on any map, sometime in the future

• When the Spider dies, the Spider drops a big poisonous circle which infects others around a little circle ( except the killing geese and only 2 max in the circle )
• After the circle finishes, whoever gets caught in the bubble will become a spider and be able to continue the Spider’s career
• If you’re wondering what Spider’s abilities are, it’s only that ability. This will be a neutral considering it infects others.
• If the Spider gets voted out, whoever doesn’t vote them will occasionally be rated and spider webbed, leaving them without abilities for 10 seconds,
  Goosenecks
  Goose
  Goosenecks are gonna be able to attack the spiders.
  Goosenecks only have about 3 tries.
  If they misfire a spider 3 times, they will die.
  They are for example a sheriff with 3 tries.

[wooden sluice]

Thanks @dry cargo for your feedback, we'll be sure to look at it

[vestal aspen]

I’m not sure this will work, as pigeons are their own team, which won’t allow the spider to win with them

I’ve tweaked your idea, and I’ve thought of a way to balance this game mode.

This game mode could be not one of social deduction, but of chase. How about everyone knows who the spider is, but the spider is very fast. the spider can have the ability to spit acid, which will then kill geese who stay in it too long. They can also have the ability to shoot webs, which slows geese. There are no meetings, and the spider wins by killing everyone. The geese win by killing the spider. The spider can use vents and go into the fog. Every 5-10 tasks completed, the spider will A: receive a longer ability cooldown temporarily, B: be slowed down, to the same speed as the geese. Or C: be given lower vision. There is a timer for the round, and if the spider doesn’t kill everyone in that timer, then they lose. Dead geese can do 20-40 second tasks on webs and acid pools, which does not contribute to hurting the spider, but does remove the web/acid pool.

[noble wasp]

So if the timer runs out, it would be a goose win as well?

Thinking about it, maybe spider could be an alternate monster for Trick or Treat...

[final mauve]

Not a bad idea with it being an alternate in TnT, seems someone is taking inspiration from starship troopers unless I'm wrong

[ashen peak]

%gamemode Fashion madness: 2 teams with equal players, Sheriffs and Disguisers. Disguisers get a minute headstart to do tasks. Doing tasks would randomize their hat, shirt, or color. Each sheriff is given a profile of their own target, and after they complete 5 tasks, the profile is updated to whatever the disguiser is wearing currently. Sheriffs individually win if they kill their target and disguisers individually win if the sheriff that is supposed to kill them chooses wrong or if they survive 5 minutes.

[wooden sluice]

Thanks @ashen peak for your feedback, we'll be sure to look at it

[noble wasp]

Would the target's feather colour change? Because that tends to be the biggest identifier. Unless said sheriff only knows the accessories and not the feather colour.

[final mauve]

If you wanted to make it even trickier, you could add fake disguisers on the map

there's a gmod game mode like this, can't remember the name of it for the life of me

[final mauve]

If it is a recurring issue and you have tried troubleshooting your computer and connection, you can submit a help ticket in #troubleshooting-and-bug-reports

[dapper cipher]

Interesting gamemode idea, but a router reboot fixes the majority of connection issues

[slim summit]

I think it was Guess who or smt

[vestal aspen]

What if we had a road runner role against a team of demolitionists. The road runner is twice as fast as the ducks. The ducks win by blowing up the road runner. The road runner wins by doing all of its abundance of tasks.

[ashen peak]

@vestal aspen Hot potato is on the dev's radar, not sure how they'll go about implementing it, but if you really want to play hot potato in a regular lobby, there are means to do it

[mellow notch]

He probably didnt mean hot potato. This is more kind of Hot Potato x Dine and Dash with new role mixed. But I see somes holes in it too, can Ducks give bomb to each other? If yes, they could just give eachother bomb and follow the Road Runner and give it to him on last 2 seconds = He would be unable to defend himself at all. Even though if he is faster then them, he is like 1 vs 15 and one wrong movement = 100% death. Another question is if Ducks will know eachother, because since Road Runner is faster, they pretty much know who it is from the beginning, will there be normal players mixed too ? Like there will be normal goose but also Road Runner among them? If that is the concept, then why even doing it? Yes, Goose could walk with road runner giving him kind of "shield" and making sure none bomb gets close to him, but this also creates an option for trollers / teamers to strike and just let Road Runner die for fun. I think simple mode of hot potato without any buffs / special roles would be far better then adding some extra aspects into it, maybe there could be version that was in live-birds before and thats the Demolitionist bomb would be AOE - Anyone arround the blown person will die (in certain radius of course) this could be one of the things that could make the mode funnier but also shorter.

Even if Road Runner didn't had the speed buff when spawned but on ability (such as Birdwatcher and such) they would still know its him once he uses it. Only way to fix this problem could be - He can use this ability only once, there will be only certain ammount of Ducks and also normal Geese mixed with Road Runner. This would force Road Runner to keep his ability a secret and use it only when he is about to die. Also does Road Runnner simply win by doing task? Or does he also win when he gives the bomb back to the Ducks?

[noble wasp]

Most of the non-Classic games also have a time limit, which gives the one running a bit of a cushion and pressure on the ducks to act quickly. Just something to think about.

[vestal aspen]

There is only ducks and the road runner. The ducks aren’t informed who the road runner is, but they do know who the other ducks are. The idea of this game mode is that there is little social deduction. When the road runner is given a bomb that is already ticking, the bomb doesn’t show up/continue ticking till about four seconds after they receive it, at which point the timer is increased by two seconds then continues ticking.

Both teams can use venting mechanics, but ducks cannot if there is only one duck left. Ducks will be informed if they are the last one left, but the road runner will not.

Road runner also cannot use any venting mechanics if they have a bomb, and gradually become faster if they have a bomb, being about 3 times faster than the ducks when there is one second left

[safe bison]

Demo-dine and dash

Kinda like it tho

[warm pilot]

Any Prop Hunt type of mode in development ???

[final mauve]

Now that's a suggestion I haven't seen in almost a year

used to have a command for it actually, but here is the last response in regards to it:
Have you considered a prop-hunt style game mode?

We have! It's a fun idea that we might visit in the future. At the moment, however, none of the maps are procedurally generated. As such, tables and other map objects are static, and experienced players would notice anything amiss. A prop-hunt style game mode would probably require a whole new map, with other additional programming to make it work.

[noble wasp]

I'd like to think Goose Hunt covers most of the hide and seek desires on the game, but there's always room for more stealth in the game.

[final mauve]

Oh there used to be at least one suggestion for prop hunt a day back in the beginning

To the point that herbert threatened to start removing assets from mother goose each time

[noble wasp]

Ah, Herbert. Casually suggesting disabling the game out of spite. That's why we -love- tolerate him.

[lucid badge]

Ok idea for a game in the lodge room: Have the players play darts with a spinning dart board. Players can win different kinds of prizes based on what they land on.

[final mauve]

not a bad minigame idea

[lucid badge]

Thanks 🙂

[manic oar]

Here’s a goose only mini game called: Tasking Frenzy

Everyone would do tasks on that specific map

But every 20 seconds the person who does the least amount of tasks are killed

The more tasks you do the more coins you get at the end

1# Good way to learn to speed run tasks

2# worth it mini-game that rewards you from how much you did

[wild sapphire]

!play daisuki datta

[dapper cipher]

[noble wasp]

Problem with that is that you might get stuck with really long tasks. I'm sure the task list would constantly refresh like in Trick or Treat

[foggy stirrup]

A game mode where all ducks are assasians and no two people are the same roles (besides the dodos)

[noble wasp]

I think you just described Fowl Play (coming soon (TM))

[lapis isle]

Nobody is quite sure what Fowl Play entails just yet.
It was pointed out it may require its own entirely separate game, so it sounds like more than just a simple game mode

[opaque rune]

Classic ++ every role has loW vision and u dont knoW ur impostors mimic could be a role that u can transform into someone once a game and get their abilities idk just smth

[high patrol]

you can do all those things with classic+ settings

except for ability swapping because that takes away deduction

[noble wasp]

You can control the vision in the Arrow tab.
Blind ducks mean you don't know the other ducks. (Can't have mimic)
Morphling and ID thief can morph, but that's their only ability.

[slim summit]

Tbh if Every Goose is Snoop it ne nice BUT i dont think duck can kill them at that point so Ill keep the Goose Hunt the same way

[noble wasp]

If every goose was a snoop and there was a map full of objects to hide in, then you just give a duck the ability to kill hidden geese and voila! New game mode.

[final mauve]

cough cough don't mention the PH game mode or herbert will start deleting assets

[dapper cipher]

PH? You mean Prop Hunt?

[final mauve]

crap, now herbert has to delete an asset

[ashen peak]

Now I'd like to know what no asset mode would look like, blindly feeling around the map for walls.

[final mauve]

you realize...the walls count as assets right?

no asset mode would just be...nothing

[ashen peak]

Oh

[final mauve]

XD

[mellow notch]

blank space

beautiful

[final mauve]

also, no sound because that is also an asset

[mellow notch]

goose in middle of nothing, just play some playlist from spotify and chill

[final mauve]

nope, no goose, that's an asset XD

you can enable no asset mode yourself, just turn off the computer XD

[mellow notch]

lmao, then just blank white thing

that will burn your eyes out

[ashen peak]

White is asset

[mellow notch]

hmm

now im wondering how would it look actually with **n o t h i n g **

[safe bison]

Yooo, once they enable no assets mode, they can finally add a revival role

[high patrol]

at that point we just delete the project

https://tenor.com/view/will-smith-shades-mib-men-in-black-neuralyzer-gif-17328155

[final mauve]

no! don't flashy thing me!

[noble wasp]

Huh? What flashy thing? What were we talking about?

[final mauve]

I don't remember

[slim summit]

MM has a lot of OBjects but the only spots i Knew were The Table ast the Sofa in the Bottom Right. Im sorry but i enevr get Snoop. usually Disabled

[slim summit]

OOp the Flash wor- What again?

[noble wasp]

Really? Most of the rooms I'm in love Snoop. Thanks to that, I know of a total of 5 hiding spots. The wardrobes are probably the easiest ones to spot, and I'll hint that the other two are at opposite corners of the map.

[final mauve]

Some people have a problem with snoop and mechanic because they can just hide

[mellow notch]

i have a gamemode idea called goose goose bomb where a bomb will be put on a random goose/duck and you have to put the bomb on a goose/duck in 1 minute or the bomb will blow up and the duck will be able to spawn a bomb on any duck

[slim summit]

ITs at the Um dang where was it agaion.

[slim summit]

tahts Demoliotionist-

as the *ehem Insert Role u can make player have a bomb which the ycan pass

[final mauve]

So, hot potato. Game mode has been suggested multiple times since the demo duck came out

[safe bison]

Honestly I’m pretty sure it’s the most requested gamemode rn

[final mauve]

hmmm, it might be a tie between hot potato and prop hunt

[twin mortar]

It's also number one on our list.

After 30 seconds, the player in the closest proximity of the most players gets the bomb. They have 15 seconds to hand it off.

The next player who receives it has 12 ... then 9.. and so on.

You can't give it back to the same person who gave it to you.

When there are two players left, it will be random game of hide and seek. Receiving the bomb freezes you in place for 5 seconds. You can give it back, and the timer has a net 45s total time.

[high patrol]

you shouldnt need nitro to use the emojis in here

[safe bison]

Thanks chris :D

that ones animated

so it does

[high patrol]

huh. weird.

lol

[lost warren]

%gamemode a sort of 5-16 man death match style game everyone can kill and the objective is to kill everyone one else and be the last one standing, but everyone starts with twice ninja cool down only way to kill quickly is to do tasks that lower your cooldown and randomly give you a duck ability. It would be relegated to jungle temple or jungle type maps

[wooden sluice]

Thanks @lost warren for your feedback, we'll be sure to look at it

[final mauve]

cough cough Fowl Play cough cough
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lJqNc_yXR4c

[lost warren]

oh is that what that is? lmao never actually watched that @final mauve, was an idea me and a few people came up with yesterday. atleast we weren't the only one who thought of it xD

[final mauve]

Lol yep, Fowl Play is to the point they are considering making it it's own game and is still in development

[dense crane]

Eat a Run: Description Its similar To Classic How ever instead of a Duck is a Pelican who neds to eat everyone hen press the Emergency button to win without getting caught How ever one Goose will be a vigilante and the roles will be Dodo Vigilante and Pigeon

[ashen peak]

Was it confirmed we're getting trick or treat in the basement? I assume it is but just want to make sure

[final mauve]

I don't recall them saying anything about that

[lapis isle]

We should, assuming they follow the pattern they've established regarding that, but only time will tell.

[final mauve]

Next dev update coming on friday so should have more news

[final mauve]

@slim summit please stop with the random spam in channels

[slim summit]

idk how im able to do tis but about a free for all gamemdo?

[final mauve]

See aforementioned post about Fowl Play

[sand parrot]

Don't worry, its not rickroll.

[final mauve]

There are a ton of games out there based on the backrooms

Also, we do ask that people refrain from posting links

[sand parrot]

Oh...

No, i didnt mean the backrooms itself. I mean the part where you run to the exit itself.

[final mauve]

I mean, it's not the same, but gaggle does have a variety of escape rooms as well

[slim summit]

Backroom map??? oh wait that would mkake the game not end as its ALMOSt infinite

[finite wadi]

you can't forget, if its based on LVL1, you can't even find any players, seeing as their is no way to contact anyone in level 1

or see anyone

[final mauve]

That doesn't really give much of an idea of what you mean. You can make goose hunt harder and objectively scarier by messing with the settings already

[slim summit]

rip. Noo ne will know where u died or everyone is at. Imagine the ents are just like how th entity go throgh walls_ yikes

[finite wadi]

a map based on the Backrooms might not be a good idea, also search up the backrooms official website

level 1 the only way you can die is Starvation or lack of water

it is impossible to find anyone level 1 because everyone is on their own field of reality their

level 2 you can find people

the only exits are all Fannon as well

their is no true way to escape

so again a Backrooms map is not a good idea for a map, even if it got it's own gamemode

[maiden hollow]

Classic++ the ducks can get certain geese abilities, such as the medium ability, or the bird watcher (but won’t mix roles that provide no benefit like avenger, sherif, mechanic or vigilante) and (won’t give some roles like the body guard, to be a bit more balanced)

[lucid badge]

How about Texas Hold’em in the lobby?

Duck / Goose versions of classic songs / music in the lobby inside of a jukebox?

[final mauve]

Would have to be songs already in public domain and they would need someone to do the recordings

[neat yew]

one is that u have to work in teams of 5 to solve a puzzel quickly . like mcc. in minecraft.

[noble wasp]

You mean... like an escape room?

[neat yew]

yes

[high patrol]

https://gaggle.fun/escape-games

[neat yew]

nice

[lucid badge]

Ok fair enough 🙂

[crimson berry]

How about a game mode that is basically a battle royal where every player can kill each other but only after completing a task for each kill

%idea The Virus goose gamemode
Game mode idea:One Goose will be chosen as the Virus or more of the standout the Virus can Glitch players by making them randomly teleport around the map to different areas (not killing them) the Virus also has a kill button 2 times during meetings the glitch can decided to randomly turn other players into a glitch
Glitch:A kill cooldown and a glitch ability this glitch ability makes them form into another player for a short period of time kinda like the morphing

[wooden sluice]

Thanks @raw token for your feedback, we'll be sure to look at it

[finite wadi]

that sounds fun, will other special roles be allowed?

[raw token]

If the devs decide to add them and the gamemode than sure

[finite wadi]

you let the devs have a lot of freedom with your suggestions, i respect that

allows them to get creative

[raw token]

yeah my ideas are merely side ideas the devs can alter it to any way they want its there game after all not like im a main dev making it myself

[final mauve]

All you've done is take the glitch from modded AU and put it into goose hunt then add meetings

[twin mortar]

I put a banana into ice cream, coat it with chocolate and call it a banana ice cream chocolate surprise.

Sometimes mixing things together might work 🙂 Always worth entertaining, but we should try to add our own twist on it

maybe a predator mode with the new invisi duck?

[final mauve]

Can they get a secondary button that plays a creepy duck noise while they are hunting?

Note, not being facetious, i think playing a sudden scary noise could startle people, giving away the fact that someone is in the room with the duck

[hazy birch]

Old steam review

[final mauve]

That one still makes me laugh

But I do realize that some people are more sensitive to jumpscares and such

[twin mortar]

Can turn off sfx

close your eyes

don't die?

get good

[elfin knot]

“A jump scare worse than fnaf”, has this dude seen the recent sonic.eyx game over jumpscare

[final mauve]

Jump scares don't do anything for me, I like suspense, i like tension

[hazy birch]

I find them thrilling

[elfin knot]

Same, it’s good for developers to use them to get the players just in the right mood

[final mauve]

Jump scares can be good if used properly, after a build up, but when your game is just nothing but jumpscares, it loses the effectiveness

[elfin knot]

Yep

[final mauve]

FNAF got my 6 year old once or twice, but after that he just got bored and wandered off

[noble wasp]

This feels like it could fit into Treat or Treat, but I'm not sure which monster would best fit the theme...

[final mauve]

Mad Scientist perhaps

[raw token]

ah didnt realize that

[raw token]

also sounds like a cool idea

[final mauve]

would love to see more monsters in TrT

[spiral basin]

ME TOO

[noble wasp]

Codes down in #lfg-language, please...

[raw token]

Me too lol

[slim summit]

agreed

[ashen peak]

An optional Pelican with a cooldown slower than ducks for the blue team at 14+ players for dine and dash could be interesting because you aren't killing, you could temporarily stall some ducks or even protect your teammates inside of you until you get killed.

[final mauve]

The pelican would really put more dine into the game mode, that's for sure XD

[ashen peak]

It's the closest we're gonna get to a neutral alliance mode

[final mauve]

for now

[mellow notch]

Or imagine a role where a Vulture has a killing role (like dueling dodo) but it’s towards the pelican but the vulture or pelican can’t eat the person that they killed?

[final mauve]

Not entirely sure where you are going with that one. Also not a game mode idea

Unless I'm completely misunderstanding you, which is possible

[mellow notch]

I mean I do twist my own words without realizing it 🤣 so it’s possibly that too. But with the pelican idea for a game mode have it to where it’s like Vultures vs Pelicans

[raw token]

Ok this idea is ridiculous but I think it is a hella of a funny idea

How about we make a gamemode where there are 1, 2 or 3 geese and the rest just ducks

It’s a silly idea but it would be fun

Trying to find geese

But there would need to be automatic blind ducks

So nobody knows each other

[final mauve]

I mean that's pretty much just dine and dash

when you think about it

[noble wasp]

@craggy pewter Codes go in #lfg-language . Select the language, then use the appropriate lobby.

[sand parrot]

A Saw-like gamemode and map where there's limited total button, traps, and everyone has the ability to push someone.

[hallow eagle]

Game idea for a special event: After a meeting, all the roles get messy and you can then get a different role than the one you started with (without the roles of the already deceased ones).

[twin mortar]

Chaos

Its basically a giant mess

[hallow eagle]

ya.. but it would be temporally. a temporally chaos. but ok, i agree.

[noble wasp]

Definitely a Classic Rejects type gamemode

[lost sonnet]

Simply... Tag

[noble wasp]

See: Goose Hunt. Duck is It

[warm frost]

I love it

But would it be role that no one else has or would it be the same roles that everyone has but switched?

[hallow eagle]

It would be just the roles of the survivors at each meeting. [so suddenly you may have the opportunity to assassinate the one who has been chasing you in one of the previous rounds. or maybe you can silence the silencer. I do not know. it could also have a fixed and limited rol setting like in TOT or classic (no plus) game modes]

[warm frost]

Alr

[noble wasp]

%gamemode This is very much a work in progress, but here goes:
Pac-Man Mode (working name)
For 5-10 players (maybe 16 if it's not overpowering)
One player is chosen to be the "pac-man", while the rest of the lobby are "ghosts". (I'm imagining pelicans for them right now.) The pac-man must run around collecting objects on the map until he can turn around and kill the ghosts, during which they cannot eat anyone.

[wooden sluice]

Thanks @noble wasp for your feedback, we'll be sure to look at it

[astral mantle]

It just came out of my mind, a new gamemode wherein all players are dueling dodos... So just like the role, the players are going to finish a set of tasks, then kill a player after that... After the kill, that player will acquire a new set of tasks (different from the previous one) then if completed again, that player can kill another player again, until there is a last man standing...

I suggested this gamemode because...

• i think its a great practice in doing tasks in a certain map
• it gets more thrilling as the time goes by
• being the last man standing is a great achievement (well youre the fastest one to finish the tasks)
• players can be more familiar about dueling dodos for classic plus gamemode...

Thats it, hope my idea will be accepted for future app updates... Ty

[final mauve]

[outer rivet]

%gamemode
Roles Unleashed:
For a while now, I've desired a mode that can not only let you test the limits of GGD, but also test the potential of roles and allow hosts to create a sort of sandbox-like experience. Roles unlimited would be a chaotic and weird gamemode (and completely unbalanced) where every role in the game besides geese/ducks that require environmental features are in play (including map-specific ducks, minus ninja since they basically depend on the forbidden passages). Astral goose and invisibility duck on Jungle Temple map? Sure! Even though it's unbalanced, it would be a load of fun to create a mixing pot of roles that you can't experience in any other mode.

This mode should only be available for private lobbies though, since the chaos it would provide would immediately detract new players.

on the user interface side, it could work the same as classic+, where you can reasonably adjust sliders based on player count, adjust kill cooldowns the same way, choose which roles you want in the game from the majority of the GGD role roster, etc.. To clarify, this mode would NOT allow duplicate roles to exist (ie., two canadians), but would allow access to every role as long as the map meets the role's requirements for basic inclusion

[wooden sluice]

Thanks @outer rivet for your feedback, we'll be sure to look at it

[noble wasp]

Astral goose and invisibility duck are already on all available maps

[outer rivet]

really? neat, had no idea

[noble wasp]

What might be broken is falcon and pelican on the same map. Or morphling and ID thief

[outer rivet]

they mentioned in the dev stream that they wanted to make more map specific roles, I guess I took that as "none of these new roles on old maps" instead of actually testing it out

[high patrol]

There's a reason why some roles are excluded on some maps. Not because GGD "has met the limits" but because rounds would last 30 seconds and not be fun to play

[high patrol]

by this we mean we might design roles for specific maps. That way we dont have to worry about "this role would not work on this map" and develop a million corner cases

"what happens if this role does this ability on this role"

[outer rivet]

yeah I understand why some roles are excluded, but think of this more as a sandbox testing ground as opposed to a jail that makes things less fun

[noble wasp]

In Classic Rejects, it might. But only for the silly fun of it.

[high patrol]

we'll see if it ever becomes a thing. Who knows. XP would be excluded too as its a reward

[outer rivet]

yeah, in such an unbalanced gamemode like ones I'm bringing up, there definitely shouldn't be any rewards

[elfin knot]

I’m definitely hyped for this btw

[viscid crater]

I wish there was a radiation exposure mode If a pigeon infects it, the goose is exposedIf you take the hidden medication that comes out on the map every certain time, it comes back Pigeons infect all players within a time limit, and geese survive by taking drugs

[sacred sluice]

%gamemode for smaller groups, like duck hunt. Originally a Christmas idea. Santa (god?) needs presents from his Elves (geese) while Krampus (Duck) is trying to take them for himself and kill Elves. Kind of a capture-the-flag of sorts. If Krampus wins, the Elves turn to coal. If Santa gets his presents, the remaining Elves turn into Krampus-hunting ... creatures? with 30 sec left on the clock for Krampus to escape

Sorts of Hot potato(bomb) mode

All players are geese and random player is given a bomb goal is oas it of to someone before it goes off cycle reopeets thill there just one goose left standing

[final mauve]

hot potato has been suggested multiple times. You can actually set the game up to play hot potato by just tweaking the settings

[olive charm]

15 geese (no roles), 1 duck (Demo) voila, hot potato

[final mauve]

sometimes we like to add in a sheriff for a little extra spice

[finite wadi]

make sure no meetings so we can't vote demo out

time limit for demo is how fast the geese can complete tasks

[noble wasp]

Some hot potato rounds are just gathering at the meeting spot and spam the bomb until either duck blows up or no geese left.

[finite wadi]

you have to be strategic if you want to will i am guessing

win*

[noble wasp]

The strategy is "don't be left holding the bomb"

[finite wadi]

if your the 1 holding the bomb and your next to Demo, you likely wait till 3 seconds left than pass it, don't you XD

or is that cheating in those rules?

[noble wasp]

Well, everyone is running around. Aside from that (and no hiding), I don't consider anything cheating. But each group has their own rules.

[elfin knot]

For my hot potato mode I make sure you can’t call meetings so I don’t add extra killing roles or have emergency meetings but I do add gravy, and celebrity for info.

[elder thicket]

Pelican Hunt. Everyone but the pelican is a basic duck. The ducks have to kill the pelican, before they eat them all. Ducks can kill each other, but have a 50 sec cooldown on kills

[noble wasp]

Sounds like a Dine and Dash variant. I mean, maybe, but I'm not sure if he'd have a teammate or not.

[dapper cipher]

I could see a mode like that where Pelican was paired with a Bodyguard Goose (when over 7 players) vs all Ducks. Would basically give the Pelican one chance to survive

[noble wasp]

Course, with a bodyguard, it risks swallowing the protector up.

[dapper cipher]

Yup, that would be part of it

[elfin knot]

Yeah the pelican could be an interesting addition to the dine and dash mode

[elder thicket]

glad my idea is working out

In a way

[sharp pilot]

FunClassic: classic, but everyone have helium voice, like from party duck
Maybe also vote if voice should be also during normal round (after or before meeting) (thank you Rognik for saing that :D)
🎙️ = Yes, it should be

[empty reef]

HideNseek:- no sabotage, no report, no meeting, players need to complete tasks to win, imposter need to kill all players to win

And whats an "impostor"?

[empty reef]

Imposter = duck

[noble wasp]

Would they have party voices during proximity chat, too? I could only imagine the chaos if so.

[sharp pilot]

You can choose

[finite wadi]

they already have the ability to mess with voices, it would work

[sharp pilot]

It party's ability and it can be used only on 1 player per round, also it works only during meetings. in that mode they are talking like that the whole game

[wooden sluice]

Thanks @orchid stag for your feedback, we'll be sure to look at it

[maiden grail]

Hot potato?

[orchid stag]

Yes

Exactly what it is

I also got another version that might be easier to do in case you make this into an actual game mode

Instead of having faster running speed and running skill. You do not hear the sound of the bomb ticking allowing the person to sneakfully pass about to another person

[stone sentinel]

It'd literally be the same game anyway, and if the avatars swapped during the game, it'd ruin the social deduction aspect of it

[humble echo]

%gamemode:kill or be killed: this is a game mode of everyone being a duck and has to be the last one standing, all other roles that are a duck are able to be added in if the host so decides to add them as a role, the roles keep there main ability though as it would be unfair for everyone to have a automatic kill button on a character that has a set kill button anyway

[high patrol]

Have you considered a prop-hunt style game mode?
We have! It's a fun idea that we might visit in the future. At the moment, however, none of the maps are procedurally generated. As such, tables and other map objects are static, and experienced players would notice anything amiss. A prop-hunt style game mode would probably require a whole new map, with other additional programming to make it work.

[drifting forge]

%gamemode
Hide and seek
It is divided into the object team and the duck team.An object team can transform into a random object on a particular map.And you can use a fixed button to fix things and watch others.If even one thing survives, the object team wins.The duck team has to catch everything.Basically, the second half of an object is slightly slower than the second half of a duck.At 30 seconds, all remaining objects will be located, and the duck team will move faster

Oh

[final mauve]

At one point that game mode was, and probably still is, one of the most commonly suggested game mode ideas, even more than hot potato

[floral quail]

Zombie mode 🤔?

[final mauve]

you mean like trick or treat?

[floral quail]

Close to it, but zombies and survivers and zombies have low vision and the infected turn other geese to zombies if survivers finish task and kill the first infected zombie they win if they die they lose
Also I would recommend a new whole map for it

Btw isn't trick and treat a vampire stuff??

[final mauve]

There's been a few zombie mode suggestions over the past year

trick or treat starts with one vampire who bites a player, that player turns into a thrall who goes around killing, they have to vote off the vampire to win

[floral quail]

Yeah, I got the idea from among us mode if I am right

[final mauve]

and if something is in modded among us, you can pretty much guarantee the devs have already heard of it

[floral quail]

Yeah it's just little bit different ig

What about a game mode where everyone is tiny in it and all the players voices are like helium

[final mauve]

a party game mode has been suggested already, the problem with making characters smaller is when it comes to mobile

[floral quail]

And the duck looks tiny but when he kills someone he get bigger for few seconds

😯

Mobile are harder 😭

[final mauve]

and mobile has to be considered

[dapper cipher]

No player left behind

[floral quail]

What about cops and robbers game mode with a prison map and with new roles the cops that have to kill or capture anyone who try to escape and one of the cops is a duck that have to kill all inmates
While inmates must do tasks to escape and survive from killer or vote killer out

Maybe remove or add some stuff that gonna change the core of game but I would love to see something like that

If they were to make something like that, it would probably be a part of classic rejects that may or may not actually become a thing, but has been talked about for awhile. If such a mode was put into place you would not get any materials, XP, or coins while playing by last I heard

[sharp steeple]

I hope they make that game mode lol

[mellow notch]

classic reject?

[final mauve]

That's what i said, a mode for all the roles rejected from classic+

[noble wasp]

"Classic Broken"

[safe bison]

Classic+ Rejects is an idea teased by the devs in where they put every role that couldn't work in Classic+, and also give balancing 2 shots to the back of the head.
Team swapping? Sure
Vote Manipulation? Why not
Reviving? Might as well delete ggd because it'll be in here.

[urban drum]

I'd also add "No Role map restrictions"

[final mauve]

[exotic remnant]

a lot of complaints about sabo cool down vs bell timer hard for ducks if they are all or mostly outed

[spiral basin]

we're looking at it, and its already patched in the beta

also not a game mode idea

[covert sequoia]

Turkey role

Just a idea

[high patrol]

#🐣︱classic-role-ideas is where role ideas go There are plenty of birds out there (Turkey, Chicken, Penguin are common ones) what they do is the real question that abide by the role design document. Can't force it though, let it come naturally

[prime tide]

%gamemode

Flag Tag

Two teams of random birds (geese, neutrals, ducks) are formed and have to chase down the player that holds a flag (marked on the map). Whichever team holds onto the flag the longest during a timed match will win the game. Running up to the player that has the flag and pressing an action button will steal the flag from that player. The flag cannot be taken by another player for 5 seconds. Which would allow the flag holder to get away. The flag would start at the center of the map.

Venting/Hiding wouldn't be allowed as that would stop non venting and hiding roles from being able to get to the flag.

Only sabotage allowed would be locking doors.

Killing would be optional, however, bodies can be reported and those who kill will likely be voted out. Reducing the birds on one team or another. The geese, neutrals, and ducks can be on the same team. Maybe have them color coded shirts to differentiate the team members.

OR even have all birds as geese to avoid any killing.

[wooden sluice]

Thanks @prime tide for your feedback, we'll be sure to look at it

[noble wasp]

@prime tide This could work, with the one problem that most maps aren't symmetrical and thus one side might have an unfair advantage depending on the split, but I go have a couple of ideas that could make it better.

1. Ducks vs Falcons. Similar to Dine and Dash, there's a red team and blue team. There's no deduction in this mode, so your teammates will have their names shown in the appropriate colour. Maybe even have the opposing team have their colour shown.
2. Flag possession, killing and revival. Have team members scattered throughout the map, and the flag spawns in a random location. When you have the flag, a marker appears above your head. You can kill the other team to slow them down, or maybe just the one with the flag. Similar to Trick or Treat, dead players respawn after a set timer.
3. Victory condition. I have two ideas for this. One is that the team needs to have the flag for X minutes to win, as seen by a timer. The other is counting how long each team holds the flag in X minutes, with the side having the most culminated time winning.

I also realized this could be a free for all, with each player competing for their own best score.

Sheriffs town
there is only one goose role - the sheriff

they dont see each others role's

the Sheriff wins by killing every other person
if he doesn't succed every one other wins

[molten mason]

Had a small lobby where the only Duck disconnected and it was just a Pelican. It actually was pretty fun! Suggestion:

When players < 10, allow Duck slider to go to Zero and auto-check and force Pelican/Falcon if host selects zero ducks.

[high patrol]

Sounds a lot like Goose Hunt. 1 Duck Hide and Seek type mode

[molten mason]

Sorta, but it's a fun mode to play while waiting for a lobby to build.

ie. I wouldn't want to have to change codes - just want to be able to slide Ducks to zero.

[drifting forge]

So peaceful world lol

[molten mason]

Maybe? Like, in this case, it played like a regular game of Classic+, but no bodies to report. It wasn't really like Goose Hunt ... it wasn't hide and seek.

[upbeat kestrel]

Can u make a gamemode where youre able to chose the amount of roles like if i wanted to have 3 sheriffs if that would be able to do

[lucid badge]

Just a random floating thought, maybe watch / play Mario Party games to get a few ideas for the Lounge Room?

[mellow notch]

Tugwar game or warlike gamemode

[noble wasp]

How would the tug of war work in this game? If it's more warlike, how would you picture it working?

[pine pivot]

A gamemode like hot potato would be fun. There could be a select amount of demos and the rest geese. To win, you need to kill all the demos with their own bombs. No other special roles would be in this

[final mauve]

XD you have no idea how many times hot potato has been suggested. But you can easily set that up with just the lobby options available in the game as it is

[dapper cipher]

With the exception of having multiple Demo Ducks, but yeah

[noble wasp]

Would the game just be demos vs geese? I think I prefer the homebrew version where there's just the one demo.

[mellow notch]

maybe some more roles in trick or treat (i know people barley play it but its still fun)

[final mauve]

There used to be an entire channel just for trick or treat ideas

[dapper cipher]

I wouldn't be surprised if there is a new "monster" role for this Halloween

[noble wasp]

I'm honestly not sure what kind of roles to add to T or T, considering villagers already get a mini-kill ability. People will get jealous if a couple of villagers are more powerful.

[final mauve]

Different monsters with new abilities, like werewolves, zombies, etc perhaps

[noble wasp]

Well, monsters yeah, but I was considering beyond that.

[final mauve]

well, as an example, if you had zombies, maybe you have a doctor role that can reverse it? who knows

[limpid carbon]

Kill or be killed as we call it but everyone can kill. We end up waiting for people and only have 6 or 7 people. That's a good time killer but sheriff shots vig and it's over.

[dapper cipher]

May I interest you in a Dine and Dash?

[noble wasp]

Dine and Dash works, with only one person who can't kill (vulture).

[lapis isle]

Could always make a new trick or treat mode, with a sheriff (if they shoot wrong, both players become thrall or equivalent) and other roles.
Medium for example could detect the number of thrall, rather than ghosts.

Not particularly useful, but a fun twist that's not useless either.

Maybe instead of a timer there can be an objective.

Lovers could work
Technician may be better suited as a thrall detection type role maybe.
Detective could tell if someone has been bitten
Mortician could tell how a player died (thrall or vampire)

Just some ideas using existing roles and tweaking their abilities slightly to suit the ToT theme.

[noble wasp]

At least the vampire does have two sabotages that it doesn't have to unlock, but spotting that will definitely make finding him much easier.

[lucid badge]

Ok I got one. How about a Monopoly like game while using your own silver coins as payment. Min is 100 silver coins and the max is 10,000.
1st prize is exclusive outfits / clothing pieces you can only get while playing. (The higher the best amount the better the outfit.)
2ed prize are gold coins. 1 - 20 (or whatever you think is fair) gold coins. (Also taking in the factor on how much you’ve waged up in the first place.)
3rd prize is a bunch of silver coins. Depending on how much you bet will be added at the end of the round.
4th place you ether break even, lose some of your coins or you lose a lose all your coins.

[digital haven]

Perhaps there could be a "Custom" game mode where you can change things for individual roles. Perhaps more than one of a specific role, perhaps making certain roles more likely. I can think of so many fun variants of play if multiple of a role are allowed at a time.

Like having all geese be killing based or something. All vig or sheriff. Or all Avengers for mass murder.

Or a deathmatch where all are falcons and last one left wins.

Or all pigeons and see who's the most social. Or like Dine and Dash with two teams of diners.

Opening up possibilities like that would allow creative minds to make entirely new setups for play. It could also be a base for playtesting for devs or future game modes.

[spiral basin]

this is something we've given a lot of thought
