Prop hunt would be very fun

maiden mural
#

freeze tag game mode where the duck tags a goose and turns them into a egg and another goose has to tag the egg to turn them back into a goose, if in a egg too long you die.

spiral basin
#

what happens if the duck camps the egg?

gray root
#

Then maybe set a timer to how long the duck can freeze a goose

spiral basin
#

if the time was shorter, wouldn't the duck just camp the goose for that short period of time?

gray root
#

They could but the duck also has to worry about the Geese completing their tasks

spiral basin
#

You guys are sort of describing a dead by daylight mechanic

gray root
#

In the egg, the goose is unable to do tasks or move until either they're free or they died

spiral basin
#

where survivors (geese) have to complete generators (tasks) but also rescue other survivors (geese) from being hooked (turned into an egg) by the killer (duck)

maiden mural
#

the duck can get a movement penalty or teleports to a different location on the map

#

also i think it would be better with a timer rather a task

gray root
#

True

light pier
#

I feel like prop hunt would really be a favorite

final mauve
#

I feel like if we all keep mentioning prop hunt as an idea, they are going to start hurling actual props at us XD

spiral basin
#

its an interesting idea, but GGD has less props than you might think

#

it isn't a populated 3d environment like you might find in a half life mod, for example

#

and since there isnt anything procedurally generated in the maps, you'd notice if a vent was out of place or a table

final mauve
#

but no one would ever notice a vent...right next to the table in the rec room!

tribal depot
#

i would like to see an infected gamemode

odd ether
#

What about if we do 9 or 15 ducks vs 1 or 2 goose like you know all players are ducks and there is 1 goose and the goose should finish his tasks before the ducks kill him but the ducks doesn't know who is the goose but the goose know who is the other goose

spiral basin
#

@odd ether We do have something similar in the works where there'll be lots of ducks and lots of murder called Fowl Play

tardy dragon
spiral basin
#

Yeah, that's the procedural generation I was referring to!

uncut lynx
#

This might be a stretch but maybe Goose Goose Duck could have a 'Tag' Mode. Not sure what would happen if a duck 'tags' a Goose, but I think the the player who gets tagged will be teleported to a random part of the map and they will become the Duck this time and they will start 'looking' for other players repeating the process. Whoever tags the most wins the round. If the player who is a duck is intentionally not doing anything, there could be a timer or something.

Just a thought.

spiral basin
#

@uncut lynx what player count do you envision this at?

#

is there a chance you can get teleported on top of a goose

uncut lynx
#

I'm not entirely too sure if this can be done with a full lobby but maybe 10 players could work?

#

Maybe there could be a chance to be teleported on top of a goose, but this one has to be actually tested to see if it will be fun.

#

It's just an idea that just came to me, not sure if it will materialize to the game at all.

#

Map size is also another thing too

rare fossil
#

Iā€™ve seen a game mode like this ^ but everyone teleports every 60 seconds to a different personā€™s location

#

That would be interesting

odd ether
#

What if everyone can vent?

#

Ik there is a mech that vent as goose

#

But what if everyone can vent but have 20 seconds cooldown

final mauve
#

I think that would just make the game last forever because everyone would just hide in vents and wait

odd ether
#

yea...true

#

good point

sullen light
#

a tag or hot potato gamemode

odd ether
#

Oh what about cops and thieves

sage tendon
#

What if there is one cop/security goose, and everyone else are non-killing ducks. The ducks are holding an illegal potato chip (very illegal), but only one duck holds it at a time, it can be passed back and forth between one another (every __ seconds) and the cop goose does not know who has the chip. The cop must find who has this chip, (since it is very illegal) and confiscate it by murdering them. If the cop finds the chip he wins, but if he kills x amount of ducks without finding the chip, he loses.

spiral basin
#

@sage tendon thats an interesting idea! I do wonder if we would get into trouble for a game mode where all the murder is from an inept police officer

#

did you imagine there was some sort of visual indication of where the the chip was?

upper crane
#

Maybe they have a an ability to press shift and see where on the map the chip is, with a cooldown similar to the medium cool down?

sage tendon
#

Well you could make him ā€œsecurityā€ or just call him ā€œrogue gooseā€

#

The map idea is a great idea. And/or the chip can make faint uncontrollable auditory ā€œcrunchā€ cues every so often if the goose is within a proximity of it.

mellow notch
#

Im not sure if itā€™s already been suggested or not but maybe a ā€œFree for allā€ mode all goose become ducks and whoever has the most kills comes out ontop and wins the game

spiral basin
#

@mellow notch an upcoming game mode called Fowl Play has most players being a form of duck

mellow notch
#

Alright then.

valid hearth
#

idea make a first person shooter game where its ducks vs geese and whatever team gets the most kills wins

#

(Jk)

#

unless... :)

fast sluice
#

for chaos purposes a gamemode where 2 people switch roles

peak hare
#

Is there a role that exists where youā€™re able to steal someone elseā€™s role? Blind or not?

#

Because thatā€™s a great idea @fast sluice

spiral basin
#

what would happen to the person who's role you took?

twin mortar
#

If you do this you could only do it between the same species (duck/goose) because a duck moving to the good side with knowledge of who the other duck was is an instant win.

#

Maybe a goose that can swap roles with another goose, but that doesn't pose an advantage and could be used just to grief target players

lofty chasm
#

I think the closest you could get to this would be a third party able to steal someone who died's role or something tbh.

twin mortar
#

This could be a new species

#

The Parrot

turbid garnet
#

Cockatoo?

twin mortar
#

This is a strange looking cat.

feral bay
#

An all any gamemode. All roles on the table, any amount of roles (that cannot end the game instantly), and all the chaos possible. Careful voting as theyā€™re just might be 3 dodos in the midst of 4 ducks of all sorts, but with the help with 2 Canadians you may have a chance, who knows?

feral bay
lofty chasm
#

Vulture has to eat a certain number of bodies iirc

#

At least that's what I've been told

spiral basin
feral bay
#

Ah, makes sense

final mauve
#

Not so much a new mode as an idea for an existing one. An option to set it where when playing goose hunt or hide and seek to have it cycle between each player instead of picking randomly

rough abyss
#

task hunt the ducks search for tasks to destroy in order to hinder the progress of geese howecer a mechanic can fix up to 3 tasks per round

covert mural
#

Have an identifier on the Medium, so that ghosts know who it is.

#

Ghosts can haunt the live duck. Maybe limited sounds when near the duck.

spiral basin
undone lion
#

Idk if this is a gamemode someone may have mentioned but... Egg Capture (like capture the flag)
2 teams 2 different eggs on different ends of a map but the goal is to steal the opponent's egg (golden maybe?) And bring it back.
Everyone can kill but not their teammates and there is a respawn timer. If the goose if the enemy egg gets downed they either have to return it back (or it automatically spawns) back at starting spot. Sounds good?

#

Ranked gamemode

spiral basin
#

we'd have to implement an MMR system, and what a 'win' constitutes is potentially more ambiguous than it might seem with how weighted your role frequencies are

passing notes to other geese and or other ducks with a possibility of it dropping for others to see

The Untruthful Alliance, (could be another name but idk) everyone are blind ducks and can kill each other and vote each other out, but keep in mind, its last one standing you dont win with the others

#

just an idea: have cams not work when coms are sabotaged

solid moth
#

^^
That would probs go to map ideas but still a great idea

untold garden
#

heres an Idea. Let ducks control some of the place of the map. ex: can control the direction of a brigde

wintry fjord
#

How about...
A mode where bodies can be reported only thru a watch linked to intercoms, but meetings are never called.

#

Cool downs are reset and bodies disappear from the map. Anyone can vent.

pallid ivy
twin mortar
#

Yes after someone activates security cameras, there is a place where you can observe them right next to it.

pallid ivy
#

alright

rare fossil
#

There is also intercoms šŸ™‚

vivid pulsar
#

for hide and seek, there should be a way to "force end" the game (some people troll by not finishing tasks or not killing)

#

Prop hunt

#

Would be epic

wintry fjord
#

@vivid pulsar they're getting rid of this game mode at least until they figure out a way to fix that issue.

inner trench
#

Speedrun

There are no killing roles everybody has to finish there task the first one to finish all their task wins

vivid pulsar
inner trench
#

Yeah I could see that

elfin grove
#

Actually an Idea to fix the hide and seek game mode, make it so if the duck doesn't kill after like 2 minutes, the duck role will be given to someone else. And you die if you don't do tasks after 3 minutes, unless yours are done.

inner trench
#

Then It wouldn't be hide and seek

#

Name: Team Deathmatch
Roles: Sheriffs Vs Sheriffs
Pros: Geese know who other geese are.
Cons: If you kill a teammate, you die aswell. If you die, you die forever. Meetings can't be called at all.
UI: Both teams have 2 bars. One for tasks, and one for remaining teammates.
Goals: Complete All Tasks or Eliminate the Enemy Team.

vivid pulsar
#

would be boring for the dead

final mauve
#

I don't see the rounds lasting very long

vivid pulsar
#

but then again, goose hunt is boring for dead as well

#

but you barely specified anything, what are the win conditions?

final mauve
#

I would assume they meant when one team eliminates the other like in any deathmatch

desert yacht
#

yea

#

my bad

vivid pulsar
#

completely eliminate?

#

or other condition

desert yacht
#

there are tasks too

#

idk how many

#

ill re think it

vivid pulsar
#

if the game largely involves killing, who has time to do tasks?

#

also, do ducks have tasks?

desert yacht
#

yes

#

there would be 2 bars

#

for both teams

#

1 that gose up for tasks, and on that gose down for teammates remaining

vivid pulsar
#

should just make it vigilante vs vigilante lol

#

would be better to program i think

desert yacht
#

true

proper mica
slender pond
#

That would mean to create a scoreboard for the ui I guess

slender pond
vivid pulsar
#

oh right, it should be sheriff

desert yacht
#

Name: Secret Deathmatch
Roles: Sheriffs Vs Vigilantes Vs Ducks
Other Roles: (My Recommended)Doctor.
Goal: Complete All Tasks or Be The Last Team Standing.
How it works: Vision is very low, but not at the lowest. Vigilantes have an infinite amount of shots and will not lose them if the Doctor or a Sheriff is killed. Same for the Sheriffs. It's kinda weird, but I choose Ducks to have tasks too. Doctors have the lowest vision and is randomly assigned to one of the 3 teams.
Pros: The Doc ig.
Cons: No one knows who anyone is, including the ducks.(Everyone is a gray color and names won't show.) There are no meetings.
UI: All teams have 3 bars. One for tasks, and one for remaining teammates.
[This is a remake of the regular Deathmatch idea.]

mellow notch
#

no color no name

#

it's what it sounds like

#

goes perfect with dead revival

vivid pulsar
#

it's already noted that doctor is a bad role

#

it interferes with the dead

mellow notch
#

no where no color and no names that means if a dead was revived then they can't say who it was cause they have no idea

final mauve
#

which actually makes them more useful to the ducks when you think about it, because being alive again in this fashion, they can't really tell anyone about anything, and they can't do their tasks nearly as quickly as they could when dead.

vivid pulsar
#

but doctors can only be used for this mode

#

useless otherwise

mellow notch
#

yeah

#

but atleast you'll be able to be alive

Game mode idea: Cops and Robbers. 1/3rd of the lobby starts as cops, the other 2/3rd's start as robbers. If a cop gets within range of a robber, they can space bar to jail them. When the robbers are jailed, they cant move out of the room they are in, unless another robber space bar frees them. If the robbers finish their tasks, they win. If the cops jail all the robbers before all tasks are done, they win.

twin mortar

#

Takes me back to childhood. I like it

twin mortar
#

We could program it and try it out but it could be very not fun for robbers if they get stuck in a room and no one comes to rescue them for a few minutes

vast bobcat
#

yea the problem is that people locked up could spend an entire game waiting around

gaunt hedge
#

game mode: Capture the Egg

Kinda like a capture the flag game, the aim is for the goose to get the egg into an incubator on the other side of the map for bonus points, while the ducks are trying to protect their egg and get it back.

Goose team will steal the egg from the nest on the duck side of the map. You drop the egg upon being killed by a duck, the egg can then be picked up by another goose, or returned to the nest by the ducks.

There are also tasks dotted around the map that award points that the goose need to try and fight to protect, and the ducks are trying to sabotage.

This could for example be sabotaging a heat lamp for the incubator, a power source, or a door to get to the other side.

First team to X amount of points, wins

#

perhaps geese could res fallen teammates by "picking them up" and taking them to a medbay to be healed., the ducks could maybe even sabotage the equipment in the medbay. Idk. Maybe i've gone too much into detail now šŸ˜‚

spiral basin

@gaunt hedge did you get an email from ben?

# vast bobcat yea the problem is that people locked up could spend an entire game waiting arou...

You give each robber who has been locked up an intercom button. They can press it once to talk to the whole server and notify people where they are, or have them show up on the mini map. Think of it as their one phone call. Whether you make it so only robbers can hear it, or have it heard by the entire server so that cops can plan strategies to capture the people who come to rescue the robbers who are jailed, I think this could be a lot of fun.

half tulip
#

how about this, the super duck gamemode where the duck has a 1.5 second kill cooldown and very long range the tasks would be short and the gooses would have really high speed.

hot glen
spiral basin
#

@hot glen there are some issues with the game as listed, at least with the current maps. There's really nothing stopping cops from occupying bottle necks for rooms/tasks or camping the robbers.

#

If you sat at the bridge leading to comms in SS Goose, you're blocking 7-8 tasks, for example?

final mauve
#

Game mode like that would probably need to have its own map and all kinds of special programming i would think

@spiral basin Yeah, I remember someone saying something about a victorian England map with it.

Maybe an infection game mode where you have to touch someone to infect them meaning that there on your team now. this may just be like the hide and seek or whatever but its just a thought.

wintry fjord
#

If PvP becomes a thing, add in a duos mode. I have more information about it if you think it'd be an interesting idea.

uncut lynx
#

This gamemode idea may sound like a rip-off but it might provide some inspiration for you.

How about a 'Phasmophobia' mode?

In this mode, after 2 tasks by the Goose are done. The Duck will 'spawn' into the map and will start hunting for any goose for a period of time. The lighting on the map goes really dark during this time as the duck starts hunting down any Goose in the map. After maybe 10 seconds or so the Duck will 'despawn' and will have to wait until another two tasks are done by the Goose.

This sounds like a stretch, but may provide some inspiration for other modes we can possibly do with this game.

vivid pulsar
#

interesting game mode, could be a potential replacement for hide and seek. is the duck player controlled or AI?

uncut lynx
vivid pulsar
#

might be a little boring for the duck as a player

pearl bolt
#

I think to prevent campers, either cops or robbers can AFK or stay at an area for 20 seconds long. Including adjacent rooms. I don't know if that will prevent campers

#

As for another game mode that I can think of, Goose Rush, so like every goose have a time limit starting at 60 seconds, and every tasks grants additional seconds. Fail to do any task within the time remaining will result in Goose Death. The job of the duck was to only sabotage, not kill.

Once a goose finishes his task, their timer stops, making them still alive, or convert them to a ghost.

If there are like 70% of the total geese in the room completed their tasks before death, the geese win, else it is a duck win

slender pond
#

that's a cool idea, but what would be the point of the duck's presence? I feel like the duck should have some part in winning

Also this seems a little similar to the gamemode goose hunt

gaunt hedge
#

game of tag ? the duck role switches if you walk within killing distance of a player - the game is timed, and whoever ends the round as the duck, loses

I imagine this working since all the geese will be running away with the clock counting down in a panic... since hide and seek isn't around for the foreseeable future, i see this as a great alternative "fun" mode kittywoah

#

idk if it was suggested before but i'd totally love to try it

spiral basin
#

@gaunt hedge this could work! whoever gets tagged hot potato'd probably has to freeze in place for a few seconds

fiery geode
#

Davy Jones, Its like Classic except its only 1 duck, (On a timer) And the duck has a special ability called Davy Jones's Locker

#

His goal is to send everyone to davy jones's locker

#

it replaces the kill button

#

its goose hunt but with a few extra steps and added roles like classic

#

you cant report*

ivory token
#

Prop hunt - as goose: your job is to hide as a item in the game, stay alive for longer then 5 minutes. as duck: your job is to kill every goose within a 5 minute timer - kill cooldown is 5 seconds, ducks are 2x faster then geese, taunting gets you extra coins but you have a 15 sec cooldown

But you never know what the great gaggle crew will piece together i suppose

Is there a chance of a free play / sandbox mode? Where any number of players (1 - 16) can play in a map with all tasks enabled to let them learn the map / locations / tasks? With some way of being able to return to the lobby mid-game, and no coin awards.

I've been trying to pull people from my previous other social deduction game lobbies, a few of them are finding GGD a bit daunting at first, with a lot of new things to learn all of a sudden. The faster pace of GGD makes it tough, with meetings/body reports halting their search for (or attempts at!) their next task.

SNITCH (TASK) MODE
Geese : Finish his task, and then you'll get arrow who is the duck. And then you must kill the duck. And you win as the geese alone (not as the team) If you can kill the duck before the time's out.
Duck : Survive until the time's out. Duck cannot kill the entire Goose. But you can give more task(s) to geese who he found in any seconds of cooldown.

Mafia
The only gameplay is meetings, which is split into day and night. During day meetings, players talk amongst themselves and vote who they think is a Duck. During night meetings, Ducks chat in private about who they want to kill. One Duck is the Godfather who calls the shot on their target. If they die, another Duck is elected as the new Godfather.

#

I know that there are actual online Mafia games you can play, but I thought it could be a fun inclusion as an occasional mode to play.

odd ether

What if there is a 1v1 mode 2 players are possible but if it is 3-16 then it is a free for all though...The only thing to do is kill and win alone

prop hunt

there is easy mode-where you can transform into anything you want.you have full vision etc etc. Normal mode-you have 5 options to morph to,and can swap which one of the 5 you want.

I don't get Dine and Dash. Both times I tried it with my lobby the game ended in like 20 seconds with a Duck win.

I donā€™t got enough friends

#

Might check it out tho

lean wave
#

Also what happened to Hide n Seek!?

high patrol
lean wave
#

I see. That sucks, my group liked Hide n Seek but hated Goose Hunt.

#

Our issue with Goose Hunt was the fast movement speed of the Duck.

#

We preferred them to be at the same speed as the Geese.

#

If that is added as an extra setting we would probably play Goose Hunt more.

#

Also the new mode from experience seems to just have ducks randomly kill until they win so the round is really short.

spiral basin
lean wave
#

We played it twice, and both times after 20 seconds we got a duck victory. The players were all just killing the first person they saw

#

This was in a 16 player lobby.

#

After the second time we just switched back to classic mode.

spiral basin
#

good point

lean wave
#

This is a small sample size of games, but from what we gathered the optimal strategy to win is to have all of the ducks go on a killing spree.

#

Leads to a very fast victory

upper crane
#

I find that dine and dash varies quite a bit from lobby to lobby. I love DnD mode, sometimes it's fast, chaotic and hilarious, other times you get to try out sneaky & clever strats to get your wins. And yes it's usually fast, but I it's a purge to any lobby that's grown stale, and a great refresher x)
Not everyone likes the same things though ^^

spiral basin
#

probably, anyways

lean wave
#

It doesn't seem like the vultures can even play at all.

#

Unless they get ridiculously lucky. Atm the game is like overwhelmingly duck sided.

#

You have 14 ducks against 2 vultures. How do you expect them to have any chance whatsoever?

#

Both times we played the game it was an instant duck win.

#

I don't know how the game plays in smaller lobbies, but in a 16 player lobby it's not playable.

#

Also I don't understand the hate towards Hide n Seek? My group really liked it while we weren't a fan of Goose Hunt. We played a lot of Hide n Seek in Among Us.

final mauve
#

I think a lot of it was mostly that it was basically the same game mode put in twice

lean wave
#

That makes sense. In that case an option to lower duck speed would be nice since that was our main problem with it.

#

You get seen by the duck you have no chance of surviving because they'll outrun you

final mauve
#

the problem with that is you then have geese who just lead the duck around a merry chase in cargo or the showers and never get caught

#

source: that was my go to strategy before duck speed got increased

lean wave
#

When I tried that the duck just killed everyone we ran by

#

Then killed me.

#

Although this was in Hide n Seek

final mauve
#

one of the updates increased duck speed because of strats like that XD

#

i won so many games for the geese by just keeping the killer occupied forever

lean wave
#

But in my case it lost us the game

#

They were like, "11clock you just brought the duck to everyone else while running around the ship."

final mauve
#

sometimes that happens

lean wave
#

Actually now that I think about it I have a proposal.

#

This was how my group played Hide n Seek in Among Us:

#

We all started in the spawn area. The impostor claimed who they were.

#

Then sat there and counted to 20 seconds while the rest of us scurried off.

#

That could work better than the random placements I think.

#

Currently in Goose Hunt if you spawn next to the duck, you're dead.

#

I think that was why we disliked the duck speed.

upper crane
# lean wave Actually now that I think about it I have a proposal.

Like I said, we all like different things. DnD mode is usually pretty quick, but I wouldn't quite say 20 sec x) Vulture can walk around eating bodies, and if they find one of those unfortunate group shout outs, they can heavily reduce the timer that the blue team needs to survive. It's risky, but I love it.
For a lot of us hide and seek were boring, as you essentially walk around with very little pressure to do anything, kind of just waiting to be killed. Obviously the same kind of goes for Goose Hunt, but there's a sense of urgency with that timer, forcing you to do things quick, and possibly do mistakes. The duck has to find them all before the time is out, and geese benefit from doing their tasks as it reduces the timer, especially while they are alive (thus encouraging them to not just hide out).

There is a chance they will work on a revamp for a version of hide and seek if enough people want it, so feel free to make suggestions that might make it more playable! As it was it got removed because very few people actually played it ^^

lean wave
#

There was practically no game.

#

If anything that 20 seconds is an overexaggeration

#

This is in a 16 player lobby, though.

#

So there is nowhere to really hide.

#

I think I got 3 silver coins for each game we played of Dine and Dash due to how quickly they ended

#

The mode may be more balanced in smaller lobbies where the vultures can actually get away from ducks.

upper crane
#

A vulture survival is relatively rare, but I have experienced multiple blue team wins where the vulture carried the win, so it's not impossible. I guess it comes down to how people play ^^
I have played the mode quite a bit with both 10 ish people and full 16 people lobbies, and some games are quick, but certainly not all. They are considering adding a 2nd vulture to a full/ nearly full lobby to even out the odds a little, or something else if they get good suggestions.

upper crane
lean wave
#

When I say "quick" I mean we spawned in, walked around waiting for the 10 second cooldown to wear off, then after another 3-5 seconds we got a "ducks win" screen.

There are a number of bombs planted on geese, depending on number of geese. These bombs go off after a period of time, killing them. Bombs are removed from play as the number of geese drops, and the fuse timer will lengthen. If a planted goose gets close to another goose, they can replant the bomb onto said goose. When a bomb is planted, it takes a few seconds for it to be replantable, and the goose who planted it gets a temporary movement boost. The last goose standing wins.

EDIT: Maybe planted geese can move slightly faster than unplanted geese as well, although still slower than a goose with a temporary boost from replanting their bomb.

Last one standing gamemode? Where 10-16 ducks duel it out?

Egg Keeper
One or more eggs (probably a setting) are scattered around the map. Your objective is to hold an egg for a certain period of time (also probably a setting), and if you manage to do that then you win. Note that when holding an egg, other geese can take the egg from you. You can do the same!

#

There are probably a lot of backyard games that can be retrofitted into Goose Goose Duck. It's a pretty versatile setup.

# lean wave **Hot Potato** There are a number of bombs planted on geese, depending on number...

I don't think it has to be as complicated as this. It should just be a, everyone is a goose, someone spawns with the potato, you have a limited time to pass it on before you explode ( maybe a host can decide the range ), when the time is done they die, no one has a report button, when the general timer is done and someone has the potato . Idk what ending tbh. Maybe you have to do a dare or something amongst your friends that doesn't have to be implemented to the game and you don't get any rewards for being the one with the potato when it runs out

#

There should be a thing about a duck can pick who will be their duck but can pick 1-2 ducks only

#

but a host of the game will decided how many

#

If you just do hot potato without the extra rules and conditions it wonā€™t be balanced.

#

Also while it sounds complicated, it wouldnā€™t be for actually playing it since all you have to do is if you have a bomb, find someone to tag, and if you donā€™t have a bomb then run

Maybe a last duck standing option for classic game mode, could be seprate from blind duck, or could require blind duck. In essence the option means only 1 duck can win, if they are the only duck left (and if there is only 1 other goose).

Have you guys considered a doctor/necromancer/altruist role where a goose can resurrect a corpse?

We have strongly considered the different angles to approach a role like this but ultimately decided against it. In this game of social deduction, dead players end up potentially having perfect information, and letting them back into the game is problematic as they can at least identify their killer. Even in scenarios where they might be silenced or otherwise hampered, the resurrected player will still have the ability to circle or fart over their killer. Trading 1 Goose life for 1 Duck life will tend to break the game, as the Geese outnumber the Ducks. We also plan on reworking the current Medium role to effectively sever all communication between living and dead players.

Grey Geese: A task speedrun mode. Everyone is a goose and their tasks do not show up on the minimap. Doors task doesn't lock doors like when visual tasks is disabled so people can't get airlocked. Whoever has any remaining tasks once 60% of players had finished theirs gets killed and the process repeats. Everyone gets a new list of tasks and the cycle continues but now everyone's controls are distorted, periodically inverting and/or rotating. On subsequent distortion rounds only the frequency of control confusion happens, since motion-sickness and photosensitivity are common complaints if screen distortion gets involved as the geese get progressively "not inebriated just dizzy"

What about a fiesta (or shuffle) mode?

Plays like classic, but every round, the roles are shuffled. Some stipulations:

Neutrals are shuffled with other neutral roles
Geese are shuffled with other geese roles
Ducks are shuffled with other duck roles.

If 1 player does a vigilante kill, anyone else who gets vigilante won't be able to use the kill. (Or similar X uses per game abilities)

If a role is killed, that role is out of the shuffle.

Even roles that aren't there at the start can be cycled in or out per meeting as well, as long as it is selected they can be in the game options. So even though you started the match with a morphling and cannibal duck, the next round you might have a professional and a silencer.

Vulture body count is kept for the vulture role meaning if you have 2 neutrals and 1 vulture ate 2 bodies, a meeting is called and the neutral roles are swapped, the new vulture would only have to eat the remaining amout.

Is there a list of ideas in an easy to look way so people don't suggest something already thought of? Cause it seems for game modes I'm like 0 for 2 on ideas that weren't thought of

spiral basin
#

no its a good idea!

#

but as for whether these ideas are logged publicly, not really

#

even if they were posted somewhere, like the FAQ, I doubt it would be read very often

lofty rock
#

Yeah tbf there will always be some, but (at least in certain communities) a list of ideas does help reduce idea redundancies, and it also can help certain ideas to be fleshed out more by the community possibly turning some meh ideas to good ones.

With that in mind it does take time to catalog ideas, and more time to mark if the idea is a possibility / how likely the possibility kinda is / if it isn't a good idea and why.

Maybe instead of a full list of ideas, perhaps something similar to the prospective bird watch but for modes? With it being heavily emphasized that these modes are being thought of and not guaranteed?

#

I know a list of potential ideas helped with FTL Hyperspace's development and a reduction in duplicate ideas (but of course different work pipeline, different community, different case) so it might be something that could help cultivate more creative ideas

spiral basin
#

certain ideas get repeated a lot, and if it reaches that point i just make a bot command

that's the approach we've taken so far, anyhow

I have an idea for a potential game mode. My idea is making a game mode that is similar to dead by daylight. With a duck(s) and geese trying to escape the duck(s) like dead by daylight. Sorry in advance if someone has already suggested this. But I think it would be a cool game mode if it could be possible to do. Just got the game and been watching videos of it for a while. Love playing it and keep up the great work.

spiral basin
#

@glad hull our upcoming duck the ripper mode may fit some of that bill

glad hull
#

@spiral basin ok. Awesome. I'll be definitely checking it out and thank you for taking the time to respond.

glad hull
#

I know not long ago I made a game mode suggestion but I had another game idea. A vampire, werewolf and human game mode. Vampires (ducks) have to kill all humans (geese) to win, the werewolves have to protect the geese from the vampire and kill all ducks, and the geese have to do tasks and what not that helps them survive longer or something like that. Also. Vote offs also could work as a kill making last surviving team and or teams are last alive

spiral basin
#

Feel free to make as many suggestions as you want

#

If humans and werewolves are so aligned , then they are the same thing

#

If werewolves win by protecting humans so they so their tasks and humans win by living and doing their tasks, they are not distinct factions

glad hull
#

@spiral basin i get what your saying. It could use some tweaking and what not. But it was kinda like a starting point more or less. And I was more thinking that the humans were the only ones with tasks. So basically the werewolves and vampires can only kill but if a werewolf kills a human it dies but if it kills a vampire ot live kinda similar to the sheriff role. And the vampire is basically the duck role. And I was thinking that maybe at some point could even add roles like elder vampire and werewolf that has some ability like can turn a human into the type they are or something as well as can't kill for example. And maybe have a role kinda like the daywalker from blade thats kinda similar to a werewolf as far as if they kill a human they die but of they kill one of the other 2 they don't. And I also thought about maybe the humans and or a specific human or 2 can do a task or something that can help ward off the vampires like have a cross that protects them kinda like the medic shield and then one that's more or less similar to the vigilant. Idk. Like I said. Just pitching some ideas. Yall are awesome and love the game

#

Sorry for such a long message

spiral basin
#

You're sorta describing dine and Dash lol

#

It would be kinda funny to have a type of tag your it type of gamemode, where someone is it and has to tag other players and whoever is it when the timer runs out is eliminated, then perhaps a meeting to vote on who will be it next, could have a name or pun similar to duck duck goose or something around that, not the greatest idea for a gamemode but an idea nonetheless

Wait what if there is a 2 player gamemode where first is a pvp

Death Race: The big map has locked rooms so it forms a loop, you must cross checkpoints and make laps. There are random powerup drops you can roll over on the way that give you a one time kill option until next power up, a possible task to open a door to cut through the middle -- if you go too slow you die. Possible road block tasks that are spawned by dead players (sabotage)

Mother Duck. Max Players 16. Ducks 1-2(Father Duck is the other one). The aim of the game for the "Mother Duck" is to protect her eggs (Amount of eggs 5) from the geese who are trying to destroy them, the mother duck gets to choose where her eggs are hidden, how to break the eggs? To break the eggs you just keep running them over with your little geese feet. If all eggs are broken every goose gets a kill button then they can attack the big mama. If the Mother Duck protects her eggs she wins

(Creative Name): A fast-paced multi-round game of scoring points based on your role which can change each round! The top 1/4 of players (rounded down) at the end will share the final winning screen spotlight.

ā€¢ Rounds:

  • Four 90 second rounds.
  • Roles are randomized each round (Standard Goose, Standard Duck, and Dodo).
  • All dead players return each round.
  • The end of each round results in a voting screen for additional scoring opportunity for those still alive.
  • No skips are allowed; if time runs out and a player has not voted they automatically vote themselves.
  • No reporting of bodies.
  • No sabotages.
  • Geese have 3 tasks (no long tasks).

ā€¢ Goose Scoring: (5 points max)

  • 1 point for each task completed.
  • 2 points if the player successfully votes out a Duck.

ā€¢ Duck Scoring: (6 points max)

  • 2 points for each kill (30 second initial kill cooldown, 40 seconds afterward)
  • 2 points if the player successfully votes out a Goose

ā€¢ Dodo Scoring: (7 points max)

  • 2 points for surviving to the voting screen
  • 5 points for getting voted out.
  • Each player that votes out the Dodo loses 1 point (minimum point total is 0).

Number of Ducks:
5 to 8 players: 1 Duck
9 to 12 players: 2 Ducks
13 to 16 players: 3 Ducks

there is 2 players and they are against each other

#

@odd ether can you type things in one message if you have an idea, instead of spamming like 30 lines

candid hemlock
#

@odd ether The idea that everyone has a lover teammate is interesting but if you apply that to the traditional game format of ducks vs geese, it removes the deception/back stabbing element because everybody knows that you're a lover - they just don't know who your teammate is but that doesn't really matter because everyone's incentive is to kill everyone else. For example, at the voting screen, how would you and your lover decide who to vote out? There's no incentive to prioritize who to vote out of everyone is a lover so it's simply a game of chance that you hope you/your lover don't get piled on. But getting piled on is definitely what will happen in private games where people know each other. There tends to be certain players in many groups that are good / dangerous / win often or that people tend to sus first as a meme. Normally, they'd have to figure out if that person is on a goose or not but if everyone is a lover then there's no disincentive to always vote out that person first in every game.

So for several reasons, I think that a teammate-based game mode would have to have a very different format.

twin mortar
odd ether
spiral basin
#

the scoring might be weighted a bit towards the ducks, since i imagine they'll reach their maximum score a majority of the time

#

You never have to hide who you are, because if the geese figure out who you are, they won't ever outpace you in points

candid hemlock
#

The scoring can be tweaked but in the example I came up with, if a duck doesn't try to hide who their are, then the most they can score is 4 points by going on a reckless murder spree while the geese that survive to the voting screen will have an easy time voting a duck out to score 5 points and deny ducks their maximum. This results in dead geese being able to score 3 points, psycho ducks scoring 4 points, and survivor geese scoring 5 points.

#

Ducks need to be deceptive to score their last 2 potential points

#

Anyway, mostly the idea of lightning rounds building towards a personal victory is what I was going for šŸ™‚

spiral basin
#

I misunderstood in my morning grogginess!

#

I think maybe in this hypothetical game mode, i'd separate the geese agenda

#

i'd hypothetically reward a goose for voting the duck, but not give a bonus for voting the duck out

#

that way you have more differences in the voting, and you'd be rewarding someone for figuring out who the duck is

candid hemlock
#

That's more than fair. I like 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.

What if the ducks just decide to say "follow me or I'll kill you" to everyone they see... round up all the players, then each duck takes a turn killing a random player thus clearing themselves to kill again until they win?

Capture The Egg
Both Ducks and Gooses fight to capture the egg of their team
-Both teams have the same kill cooldown (accept sherff) of 3 seconds
-Ducks cant use vents (accept Professional but cant use it when carrying an egg)
-Ducks will have Red name tags and can be seen by everyone and Gooses will have white
-Egg locations are shown on map and by via arrows, Red arrow for the Duck Egg and White arrow for the Goose Egg
-When game starts everyone can see eachothers role (own teammates) for 30 seconds before going back to names
-Gooses spawn with Gooses and Ducks will spawn with Ducks and both teams will spawn next to their Egg across the map from eachother
-Maps such as Mother Goose and Black Swan might work but Nexus Colony might be impossible to do
-Gooses can spawn as Sherffs or Viglanties
-Sherffs can not friendly fire other gooses but has a +2 second cooldown
-Viglanties can friendly fire but only 1 or 2 spawn depending on players, kill cooldown is however uneffected and can keep killing unlike normal viglantie
-Ducks can spawn as Cannibal or Professional
-Cannibal can eat bodys to shorten their kill cooldown by 1 second for an emergency quick kill
-Professional can use vents to get across the map, but like Viglantie only 1 or 2 spawn depending on how many players

-New Mode Hen House Havock ! , Farm themed, based around the concept of the dynamic of hounds protecting the hen from foxes by following there scent trails, would play similarly to capture the flag and red rover, there would be hens, fowls, fowls act similar to wolfs, foxes, hounds ect and have the unique ability to track scents by colour but only of the last bird they touched for each scent trail, this is useful because it would reveal if the bird attatched to the scent trail is a fowl flock or hen and allow teams to communicate and stratagise based on figuring out where they are on the map by using scent trails to track them, hens have the ability to lay eggs which can hatch into new players or previously dead players, exclusive to this game mode each hen would automatically lay an egg after a cool down amount, there are two teams, each with equal hens and fowls, if a fowl manages to get to an egg, so long as they bring it back to there teams hen who touches it, that hen then claims that egg, for this game mode only hounds can kill other hounds, hens cant be killed, the key to winning is working with your hens and stratagizing where your hen

#

should be laying eggs on the map, there are two methods to win, the side which has all eggs first of the other team of a given selected amount or if all hounds left belong to and are hatched on one side, meaning just the others sides hen is left, if as a hound you are killed by another hound, the egg will drop where you were last before you were killed, one last additional role in this mode is the flok, which act like sheep, they can be killed but any sheep or player disgused as a sheep does not show to the other players which team they are on, allowing communication between players to determine wether it is a sneaky fowl or just a flok, the flok are much slower then the fowls, but have the unique ability on cooldown to put a player to sleep until another fowl from there team wakes them, this would be an AOE ability so it could be a good stratagey to purposley lead the other teams fowls into a corner, then use your ability, there also would probably need to be a rule in place for balancing that if a flok uses there ability to put other players to sleep, they cant re use it until all players they put to sleep wake up, I feel like this could actually be a very different and cool game mode given it relies on team location strategy and that in order to bring the egg to your zone, you must bring it to your teams hen, meaning there is strategey in formations possibly even the hen staying on the move, this would be a game mode which only has these three roles in play on each team and I feel like is an interesting expansion of the capture the egg concept, also fowls would be able to vent but there would be a cooldown on it for balancing, keep in mind also the mechanic of killing off the other team and having your team hatch them, growing your team, because this could go back and forth it keeps all players busy and almost no need for ghosts at all times

-A more methodical Dangonronpa like inspired tribute mode Duckgen-ronpa, for this mode a few different map features would be implimented, after every vote, new areas of the map open up and expand and there would be booby traps in the form of chain reactions, for the purpose of what makes this mode unique, it is a form of battle royal where everyone starts off as a regular goose, your goal is to set up a booby trap or kill another goose and not be voted out, be the last one standing to win, a good stratagey is to plan out what you think other players will do and try to frame them, if you are voted out similar to being the guilty blackened, you become a ghost but the game will continue until one goose remains, this is a much more long play session methodical game mode where you plan out your stratagey and try to not get caught being the killer for as long as possible, additionally you can choose at the beginning of the game what role you want, the order of who chooses first is allways random and before the game starts, every role is revealed to every player, this is similar to how there are ultimate students with a spacific ability, this will also incentivise players to think about what they know about the abilities of a given role and the

misty tundra
#

blackened goose to try to throw players off by subverting these excpectations, every role should have a unique use to interect or give you an advantage with a spacific booby trap, the icing on the cake would be if spacific to this mode there were special execution deaths for being voted out, this could be a very fun tribute mode and the last player left alive is rewarded with some heavy dosh for cosmetics, more then winning any other mode as it is challanging to be the last goose standing, however if you never kill but are still the last goose, you receive nothing, if you and the killer are the only geese left, then the killer automatically wins, if you kill a goose, you can choose to also at any point go into a private chat with any other goose, meaning you could have multiple killers, but realize that any kill done after the first will only be seen as an acomplice goose, not the main killer, if you fail to vote out the killer during a voting trail, that killer goose wins with all acomplices, but the original pot sum is devided for the amount of alive acomplices, if the killer goose is killed themselves, the goose which killed next becomes the blackened main goose, once a body is found no goose can kill another player till after the voting round, every time the blackend killer goose is killed, the body they killed will also disapper if not found yet, meaning players will need to find a differnt body, which is killed by the new blackened killer, unless it is

#

an acomplice killing a goose which already killed, this only aplies to determing who the blackened is by the first body found, this means if you attempt to backstab and kill another killer, you must be very careful to make sure nobody sees you do the deed as once the body is found, the detective session begins and you can no longer kill any non killer goose, if you are not careful you would be a sitting duck, every player only knows the role ie ultimate ability of every other player, at no time does it display to any player who is the killer, that is purley up to you to remember and use detective skills to determine, once a body is called the detective phase happens where all booby traps on the map are disabled but each booby trap used will often reveal some useful info to consider when exploring the map, the detective section to explore the map and kill area will have a pre determined time limit before the trial voting section will activate automatically, in order to kill at any time, you should have to use an item or pre set up a death trap to do so, the catch being if observant players see you moving around, being in the area of or setting up a death trap, any witnesses will be sus of you, a good example of a death trap would be the air lock

and purposley using an item to knock a player unconchus before dragging them into it, then opening the air lock, many unique examples could be done by doing this as there are some deathly booby traps already existing on maps, I put a fair amount of thought into this mode to replicate a multiplayer Danganronpa like experince, even though there is more involed in this mode, other then adding new booby traps and advantadges for roles, most everything else is actually re using and remixing previous implimented feautures already in the game, for this mode which I think could be very cool to exsist officially, I feel like the devs of dangonronpa would have to be asked if this tribute to there franchise would be allowed as a nod, or simply all placeholder names are renamed which are to similar to Danganronpa, a franchise can own the IP, not the game type way it plays or genre

It isn't that we would rule out a turn based system, but for the moment we'd probably leave it to games like werewolf/town of salem/agrou etc to handle turn based social deduction for now

A friend plays THE OTHER GAME in a mode called zombies, 1 killer like hide and seek, however instead of limited vision, they can only kill in hallways, and LARGE rooms like Cafeteria and Storage in the center of the map. The rest of the blue rooms are considered bunkers or safe houses..... they are not allowed to camp indefinitely outside a safe house but even if they do , they risk survivors getting all their tasks done and permanently camping in a safe zone so they are encouraged to patrol........ posted with permission from Super_cubby

#

would it be fun

#

that is the question i think about when discussing game desighn and how something plays

#

not is it 2 scentences long or a retread of the same game others have done

#

killer queen black is a new popular take on expanding on capture the flag

#

its not just capture the flag, becuase that would be less fiun.

#

most games which are fun, or game modes are fun becuase of the nuance creativity, aha suprise factor of satisfaction and strategey options

#

2 scentences, doesnt cover it

#

and there is no multiplayer dangonronpa, no game has done that, just asked if it were, would it be fun

#

this is mostly a subjuctive opinion, but the more you take out the things mentioned above and simplify a game or game mode , the less fun it would have been

#

thats why i ask when making any game mode concept

#

Would it be more fun ?

teal anvil
#

I mean

#

Ggd is multiplayer danganronpa

#

It follows the rule of dangan

#

A body gets reported

#

They have to find whodunnit

weak narwhal
#

except for the rule where if you kill somebody and get away with it you win straight away

teal anvil
#

Oh well yeah

pearl bolt
#

I think with the pigeon being on the game already, I think a game mode of tag but with pigeon and a new special role that acts as a medic can be created. It will be timed like Goose Hunt yet the goal is for the pigeon to infect EVERYONE except the medic, and if the pigeon fails within the time given (deducted everytime a geese does a task), the geese wins

spiral basin
#

what happens if they infect the medic?

pearl bolt
#

just nothing... but it will give the pigeon an idea on who the medic because the infect button won't highlight.

#

medic and pigeon should also have the same cooldown so it was balanced

#

and random start position must be used

#

OH, a symbol should also appear above the heads of the infected for medic and pigeon to know who is the infected ones

spiral basin
#

so from what i understand

#

the medic can un-infect people right?

#

that makes this effectively goose hunt, but with someone who can resurrect people

#

might be a good seasonal idea

pearl bolt
# spiral basin the medic can un-infect people right?

yes, they can un-infect people.

The thing for the points since no one dies mid-game is that when infected and you do a task, the timer will be deducted by only half or quarter the original deducted time when you are not infected

spiral basin
#

yup

#

other than the speed difference you get as a ghost, this is effectively goose hunt, but with someone who can resurrect

pearl bolt
#

so like if some prefer to deduct the time at full length per task, they need to be healed first.
Also the geese won't see the symbols, because if they do, it just throws the game by them going to the medic

spiral basin
#

(and reskinned)

#

the only reason i make the comparison

#

is because similar to the problem with the old hide and seek and goose hunt

#

i don't want two game modes which are effectively very similar

#

but i could see like.. come halloween or something, we replace goose hunt with something like this

pearl bolt
#

yeah. that's why I was to suggest having a thing in the gamemode settings where you can set what type of goose hunt mode you prefer to play to the entire round. either normal goose hunt or pigeon and medic mode (like it was grouped into one gamemode)

#

like

Goose Hunt Settings

Game Type
-> Normal   | -> Infect   | -> (some other gamemode version for goose hunt)

Can be a dropdown inside Goose Hunt settings for game type

#

that reminds me. Cops and Robbers can also be stacked with the goose hunt gamemode.

#

but with larger time limit

Red light green light game mode:

I think it would start off chaotic and random but as time goes some strats will evolve.. just a fun game mode that doesnt seem like a time consuming build!

#

What do people do outside of a meeting?

#

First meeting, both leader and hunter will just claim leader. Then everyone votes for one of those two and it's a 50/50 win/lose since there's nothing else to go off of.

If there's a tie, then there's just a re-vote

Hot Potato - When the game starts, after 10 seconds of preparation, a random player gets a hot potato that could explode after a timer, if the timer ends, it explodes and the player dies. The player must find other players and pass it to them to survive. The timer will get lower and lower until there is 1 left. If a player had died with the potato, another potato will be given to another player after 5 seconds of cooldown.

Protect the President Gamemode-
Features(Whats Different!):

  • This gamemode adds a new role called the President Goose.
  • The President Goose and Pigeon role(this will come in handy later) is always in the game.
  • The president can turn invisible for a short period of time. Vigilantes and Sheriff cannot
    kill the President. All geese know who the president is, whereas the ducks and neutrals
    don't.
  • When the president dies, the geese have 2 meetings to kill the ducks otherwise the ducks
    win.

Notes:
The reason why the pigeon is always in the game is to prevent people from crouding around the President.

candid hemlock
#

Or is it something different where only a few roles are included and after the President dies, all geese get a kill button?

#

I think it'd be interesting if it were formatted more like Dine and Dash where there are no meetings and instead is Ducks vs Falcons where the Ducks have to keep their VID ( President/Ducktator ) alive for e.g. 5 minutes but if the Falcons kill the VID then the ducks have 2 minutes to kill all the Falcons.

Something like that where at first one team is on the defensive but later changes to the other team on the defensive.

A thanksgiving day:
There is a game where there is 1 turkey and 4-15 ducks are the roles but might make 2 turkeys or 3 if there is a lot of people idk
turkey:
how 2 win: either do tasks(must recommend high) or a timer limit
how 2 lose: if he died or with lives like 3 or 5 lives
abilities(to make it fair): it can go fast and can vent(but best for a matter of time so they cant camp) or go invisible
Ducks:
how 2 win: ofc killing the turkey
how 2 lose: yep turkey doing tasks maybe or timer runs out
abilities: obviously kill and maybe other abilities idk what

Maybe it can be like you have a small lobby with turkeys ex 5 players 3 ducks and 2 turkeys and the duck that does not get a turkey dies.

Haunted Goose Hunt

Like regular Goose Hunt but the Duck is a slower moving Ghost Duck trying to kill all the Geese. Every Goose is a Birdwatcher that can see the Ghost Duck.

Some additional ideas for balancing:

  • the Ghost Duck has low vision
  • the Ghost Duck can hear the proximity chat of the living Geese.
  • The Ghost Duck has a button that displays a blue arrow to all other geese for 2 seconds with a 10 second cooldown.
  • Dead Geese become slow moving PolterGeese that can body swap with a living Goose and only living Geese win if the timer runs out.

How to win geese- tasks finished, or timer runs out or geese kill ghost
How duck winds-kills 5 geese

The geese have a flashlight that runs out of battery if used for too long you can find battery around the map. The flashlight is used to see the ghost because the duck is invisible to the geese. The way the geese can kill the duck is with the flashlight on the duck

#

The way the duck kills the geese is by space bar killing and the geese get nervous when the ghost is near enough

The sheriffs need to kill the ducks before they blow up the ship which is the last sabotage. You can only do it once every other sabotage has been done and performed.

2 ducks run around activating disasters like bombings and abductions they can survive in.
Natural disasters can strike at random occasions, and can kill any bird alive. (tornado, meteor shower, etc.)

The ducks must kill off the geese only using their disasters.

-Ducks can't initiate a disaster when a natural disaster occurs.

Goose Hunting Season

All birds have the same role ā€” Goose. There are no ducks which means no sabotages and no one can use the vents or kill fellow birds. No one can press the emergency button or report a body. It's the survival of the fittest. Do their tasks and more importantly. Keep. Migrating... to survive.

Who are the enemies:
The enemies are hunters, human hunters to be precise or they could be duckos posing as human hunters! Quack quack quaaackk! They aren't seen on-screen. Basically, at certain times, there will be a "safe zone" marked on the maps which the geese have to be inside. A timer will indicate how much time they have left to go to the safe zone (it's actually their health bar, the length varies differently on each goose but I'll tackle why later), or in this matter, the place where they have to migrate to. When the timer runs out, all the geese that did not make it to the safe zone is shot by the hunters, killing them. It's like the assassin duck.

How to win:
The geese have to either finish all of their tasks or have one goose surviving, declaring it the fittest of them all.

Advantage of doing tasks:

It's either of the two.

It lengthens that goose's timer: Doing more tasks lengthens the timer/health bar on that goose. For example, if blue goose did 2 tasks and red goose did no task at all, then blue goose have a lot more time to go to the safe zone. This is beneficial since the safe zone can spawn at any locations. It's on the goose if they either want to risk their luck that the safe zone will spawn near them or do tasks to be sure they will make it in time.

It slows that goose's timer: Same reason as mentioned above but instead of an additional time, it slows that goose's time. An example would be blue goose did 2 tasks while red didn't do any. The blue goose would have it's timer drain slower then the red goose who didn't do any task.

The additional timer/slowing of timer is permanent when a goose did a task for that game. It will revert back to it's original state when a new game starts.

The timer/health bar is replenished fully when there is no geese hunting. It will only start to deplete when a safe zone spawns.

I'm open for opinions for this!

#

Now that I think about it, this would be more fun on private lobbies because of the proximity chat. You can hear the others panicking :lol:

a safe zone type of game mode could definitely work!

Quarantine Mode: One player is infected and must spread to other players by being trapped in a room with them. Map consists of 16 rooms that after each round 1-2 rooms become inaccessible. You have 10 seconds to choose a room. One room might contain a simple serum task that cures you. Be last one alive to win. -- If player does not make it to a room they become infected, but die the next round.

If 1 infected quarantines with 3 geese, then all 3 geese become infected. - If everyone gets infected, the OG wins. Serum only applies to one person, if you do the task while in room with infected you come out clean the infected don't.

Infected players die after 3 rounds.

Capture the Flag: Lobby is divided into 2 teams. Each group starts on opposite sides of the map near their flag. You rush to the others team's flag and try to bring it to your side. You can grab the flag from opposite team, but there is a cool down for the person that stole it and the person that lost it. There would be at least 1 Duck for each team. The duck can kill opponents and they will sit out for the round. A round is over once a team scores with flag. 1st to a set number wins. Ducks will stay the same until the full game is over. You would keep your cosmetics, but your basic color would be the same as everyone else on your team.

I don't post here much but I had an idea after seeing the Falcon in action.

Name: Falcon Fury
Description: Inspired by games like Dead by Daylight (Duck by Daylight?) with one strong-but-small side against a weaker-but-more-numerous side. One team is made up of numerous Ducks, while the other side is a single (maybe two in larger lobbies) Falcons.
Rules: The Falcons know who each other are. The Ducks do not and friendly fire is on for them. The goal of the Ducks is to identify and kill the Falcons before they are wiped out. The Falcon's goal is to kill and sew confusion among the Ducks while surviving until the end. Meetings are only for discussion (for the sake of non-vc lobbies) and voting is turned off. Venting/hiding is also disabled for obvious reasons (or perhaps hiding could be allowed but players can 'check' hiding places? Not sure if that would work)

And that's basically it. A simple but chaotic mode with a lot of paranoia and plenty of dead birds. What do you guys think? I'm curious if anyone has ideas on ways to expand ir improve on this.

vagrant zenith

dapper cipher
#

Similar to Dine and Dash without the vulture or a time limit

Pretty much. Since everyone can kill it'd be even harder to know who's who simply by cornering someone and forcing them to murder for 'proof'. Perhaps some of the numerous Duck Roles could be available to make it a little easier to ID Falcons? I'm not entirely sure what the best way to balance the two sides would be.

While I think it would completely break the balance of the game and result in chaotic speed runs, here's my best attempt at an all-roles-enhanced mode:

  • Ducks: all ducks have kill cooldown reduced (lazy but w/e)
  • Sheriff: loses his kill button instead of dieing if they guess wrong
  • Vigilante: Can shoot twice
  • Medium: Is automatically notified when the ghost count increases
  • Birdwatcher: entire screen is revealed with a reduced cooldown
  • Technician: the red circle on the map follows the saboteur for a couple seconds (which can indicate if the sabo was done by a ghost if it moves through a wall).
  • Mechanic: can navigate to any vent using the map which shows vent locations they can click on.
  • Canadian: shows everyone in a meeting after they die that they were the Canadian forcing duck/falcon killer to claim Vigilante or Sheriff.
  • Detective: can use ability twice.
  • Lovers: Be among the last 4 instead of 3 to win.
  • Dodo: has the vulture's corpse radar so they can better position themselves to either survive or be suspicious.
  • Vulture: Needs to eat 1 less body to win but everybody is notified when the vulture eats a body.
  • Pigeon: infect cooldown reduced
  • Falcon: falcon hunt mode when 4 instead of 3 people remain

What about a Roadkill game mode.
All the ducks are in cars, all the geese are on foot. The cars can go faster than the geese on foot, but cannot fit through certain parts of the map.

To balance it so geese don't just sit in the "safe" area, maybe the place has a timer and you need to leave before it kills you and it has a cooldown before you can enter again.

No meetings and ducks can only kill by splattering geese over the floor.

#

The idea closely mimics goose hunt, but changes the kill type to environmental

Pigeon race. Everybody is a pigeon. Can be played with as little as 3 players

pigeon race could be ruined by ONE person sitting in a vent the whole game. but i like the idea, maybe if there was a timer that auto booted someone from a vent in that gamemode

Thinking about it again, an auto-kick from the vent/closet/green waste pile might be useful to keep as you could run from someone you've infected but who hasn't infected you yet, and may want to hide to give them the slip

Reverse classic: Basically Everyone is Ducks except for 1 to 3 geese. the point if the game is for the geese to survive and Secretly do their tasks. Blind ducks is on with no option to turn it off. Ducks can not sabotage in this game mode instead the geese can turn off lights to do their tasks. Geese can see in the dark, ducks cant.

#

GVNVD: Geese neutral and ducks are 1/3, 1/3 and 1/3. all killing roles. Blind ducks. no sabos. point of this mode is to be the last team standing while figuring out whose who. Falcons role rules are suppressed for this.

GVD: Geese v ducks Variation, Same as GVNVD but 1/2 and 1/2.

dusky aspen
#

Unknown tasks: Classic variation. Geese cannot see their tasks and will only know they have it if they pass by and see a glow around the item. but there can only be one duck and one neutral role.

One at a time: Classic variation. Geese can only see one task at a time till they finish them all and have to do them in the order the tasks appear in.

Murder mystery: its own game mode. no tasks but there are slowly spawning Collectibles on the map to turn a goose to a Sheriff goose. Need 5 found items to become Sheriff and duck can collect the Collectibles to delay a new sheriff. one duck versus the rest as geese. Duck is Professional only. Geese are regular with one being a Sheriff role to start with. Geese win when the Duck dies or gets voted off. Duck wins by killing every one with out getting caught.

Last duck standing

everyone is a regular duck (an assassin, not the role) and each one has a target and an assassin (you can kill both your target and assassin), when close to your assassin your screen flashes red to notify you that you're close to your assassin and this goes on until two ducks wins, so you have to find your target and watch out for your assassin. When you kill your target you get a new one.

Hungry ducks:
like vulture and cannibal duck you eat a body but a duck must kill and eat but since they are so hungry they only kill once and eat a body but when they eat a body they get a feature for the ability of a dead body
for example: you killed a canadain but you dont auto report and you didnt know but when you eat it you auto self report and if you ate a dodo your immune to the voting session meeting even tho your gonna be ejected your gonna survive the meeting session only one and if the assassin duck ate a vigi body and misshot a goose and failed they wont die but lose their shot and waste an vigi ability but if a profisnneal shot a Canadian and ate it nothing happens but I do know what happen if the ducks didnt ate the body so idk if they tried to eat it but failed but that it all I am saying

Hide and seek: Duck vs geese. The duck or ducks has to find the Geese once tagged the geese are turned to ducks. ducks have flashlight vision. geese can see all. 3 to 5 minute timer. geese win if they last the time. ducks win if they tag all the geese.

Freeze tag: Ducks must tag all the geese to freeze them. geese can tag other geese to unfreeze them. ducks win if they tag all geese. geese win if they run the timer out. 3 to 5 minute timer.

Jail tag: Freeze tag variant. instead of getting frozen geese are teleported to a boxed off area (jail) and are stuck there till they are tagged by a free goose.

VIP Gamemode: There is a VIP, this VIP must complete all tasks without being killed. All other geese are Bodyguards for the VIP once they die, they spawn from a random spawn position. Ducks must kill the VIP before all the tasks are done and have a relatively short cooldown. Global Voice chat enabled for all geese to hear each other. Proximity chat enabled for all Ducks and VIP.

Chaos mode
Can be played like classic+ with a twist
After every meeting everyone still alive gets their roles randomly switched around each other only if the game isnt ending

Tasks could be role based so if one sheriff does 2 out of 5 tasks. The next sheriff will have 3 tasks left

Regarding the gravy goose. The bonus goes only to the final gravy goose or whoever killed it

Regarding hitman/bodyguard/target.
Target would stay on the role not the player. Whatever hitman kills the target gets the bonus. If target survives theb whoever was bodyguard last gets the bonus

Regarding morphling. If a morphling samples someone then doesnt morph and a meeting happens, the next morphling will still have that same sample. So you might have your own sample.

Regarding detective. When a detective uses their ability on someone to see if they have killed, whatever shows up will show up for the new detective on whoever gets the role of the person who was checked

Regarding the Spy. when a spy reveals a role of a player, that role will always be revealed to whomever the spy is, so in one meeting a spy might reveal a role but never be able to tell who it is cause next round a new spy can see that role revealed on someone.

Regarding the assassin. once one assassin uses a shot, that shot wont come back for the next assassin.

(Winter Event Idea)
Winter Freeze Gamemode:
A Snowman walks around as well as a gift giver and a caroler
Snowman: Bad
Gift Giver: Good
Caroler: Neutral
The Snowman must go around and freeze everyone (it doesnā€™t instantly freeze it takes 10 seconds to freeze. The Gift Giver nor Caroler can be frozen.

The Gift Giver must go around and give everyone in the game a gift. If you walk past them and click the button it gives the person the gift. Itā€™s a 5 second cooldown till able to give another gift.

The Caroler: The Caroler must go around and infect people. There is 3 of these carolers that have a 60 second cooldown to infect. These infects go throughout the entire round.

Everyone else is a goose. There can be 1 to 2 Snowman every game, 1-3 Carolers every game, and only 1 Gift Giver. The Goose/Gift Giver wins if they complete tasks of the Gift Giver gives all the geese gifts. None of the special roles in this mode have tasks. None of the geese know who any of these roles are but the Gift Giver knows who the geese are, the Caroler knows who other Carolers are, and the snowmen know who other snowmen are

I hope I cleared all questions

Ik it is the same as trick or treat but:
Zombie infection the story is:
A duck was doing experiment so he can kill geese until he made a mistake and broke a breaker that infected him and made him a zombie and visited mother ship/black swan/nexus and infected geese but the geese cannot call meeting cus if they did the zombies hear the alarm and kill them and they have to do tasks if they are done with tasks they can kill the zombies but they must kill the main infection(the duck) and to make it fair the zombies may appear nameless(and they are all green and idk to make the geese see who they kill)
duck zombie can bite people and make them zombies but each bite of a geese is higher cooldown so like: kill 1 is 10 kill 2 is 15 3 is 20 and so on(or make it +10 seconds)
the overpowering sabotage: eagle zombies(can see their vision for 5 seconds but will make them slow) hangry zombies(their kill cooldown but not the duck making it fast for 2 seconds) clumsy zombies(the zombies will be fast but the geese will know the location of them and 50% chance the zombies will reset)

naive scarab
# chilly hinge or freeze tag, "it" has to tag everyone to freeze them and when all players are ...

I have an idea for this: Geese have to complete a specific task to unfreeze them that only occurs when you get close to the frozen goose. Probably something like taking a hair dryer to melt the ice. However a specific role could instantly unfreeze them that at most 2-3 people have, depending on the lobby size. It does have a cooldown though, so they can't just go on a huge spree of unfreezing.

candid hemlock
#

The problem with freeze tag / being frozen is that it is not fun being unable to do anything while just waiting and hoping that a teammate finds you. Even dead players can do tasks or follow players and watch the game play out.
The closest thing to this type of rescue-a-teammate mechanic I've heard that's being considered is in one of the upcoming maps with a Jail that people can be put into and broken out of but even people put in jail are still given a way to break themselves out, I believe, so they aren't waiting around doing nothing.

i have a ideal for goose goose duck ..a game mode that i think would be fun .... a thanksgiving theme.. where there is a time limit there are regular ducks and goose than a a single turkey .. the turkeys job is to try and convert everyone to a turkey but everyone continues to keep their roles .. its the job of the turkey to convert everyone and stay alive.. but the twist is that there is always a pilgrim who is also trying to do the same thing so the one at the end of the game will win with either the ducks or goose

Gamemode idea: Task Race

Everyone is a goose. Meetings disabled. Every single task on the map is enabled. Winner is whoever finishes all of their tasks first.

but who will preventing them?

every gamemode should have like you know 2 sides that are against each other and their mission is their different win conditions

for example like goose hunt you win as goose by timer end and duck if you kill everyone
dine and dash are morphling ducks with vulture and falcon and ducks need to kill falcon and vulture and falcon will have to end the timer or falcon kills everyone

I was rewatching Knives Out yesterday, and the quote "You're a pack of vultures! Knives out, beaks bloody!" gave me the idea for a more "Clue" style gamemode

high patrol

#

superheros vs.villians: there is a super villian duck who has a 30 second kill cooldown time and has 2 random duck abilities, the super villian duck can have up to 2 henchmen. Then there is the superhero goose who has 2 lives (you know cuz he is a superhero) he has a 20 second kill cooldown timer and can do tasks instantly and lights dont effect them. The superhero will have a sidekick who is basicly the sheriff goose, then there is the jolly joker if he is in the final 3 he wins he cant snoop/vent and he cant kill, no meetings can be called, everyone who isnt a superhero or supervillian is a sidekick trainee: after they finish their tasks they wait 30-40-50 seconds and they get a one time kill button, superhero geese win if the jolly joker and the villian ducks are defeated, ducks win if they have majority (if the superhero is in the game never ends except if jolly joker is alive in final 3) and thats all! (and the henchmen have 1 special ability) (and by ablity i mean duck abilites like morph eating one body etc.

#

I think that would be neat if the "trainees" were assigned to either the Goose or Duck team once they finished their tasks (completed their sidekick training).

Though if certain themed game modes are going to be exclusive to certain maps, it might be a while before a superhero mode would fit thematically. There should be two more maps coming set in Ducktorian England, then a set of adventure themed maps.

No classic geese here (basically classic+) but no normal geese (sure youā€™d need lots of people but it can work)

tawdry socket
#

Money in the case.
-All geese have a 'case' (in game black briefcase under their wing) and a kill button (15 second cool down) that only works on ducks.
-Doing tasks fills cases.
-When a goose loses their case, they die.
-Maximum tasks automatically on and set at 10 tasks (7 short tasks, 3 long tasks).
-Ducks have to 'collect' (replace kill button, also 15 second cool down) all the cases to win before the time limit.
-Ducks don't stay dead and can respawn at a random system generated location (to prevent geese from spawn killing) after 10 seconds.

In freeplaymode can you add the option to be a duck with dummy geese to kill?

The love birds spread mono to make everyone sick by kissing them. They silence each person upon kissing because of their sore throat so they cant talk. If they infect everyone. The love birds win

#

What about a game mode that is elves trying to survive and defeat Krampus, the elves do tasks to get "traps" that they can place on the ground. Elves can walk around the traps but Krampus can't. Every 20 seconds Krampus can teleport to any part of the map. Krampus can also cause injury to the elves making them slow. After an elf has been injured twice the elf will stop moving and Krampus can eat the elf and then poop out the player as a Mini-Krampus. Mini Krampuses can disassemble traps. If any elves are alive at the end of the timer one random elf will turn into Mecha-Santa (yes, a cybernetic Santa) which has 30 seconds to hunt down and kill Krampus. If it does the elves win/otherwise Krampus and his poop-Krampuses win.

Shuffle Gamemode - the host can enable "Auto-shuffle" which will pick a gamemode, then a map at random after every game, though they can set the rules for modes like "Classic+" - possibly an option called "Absolute Chaos" which will reroll the in-game options every game, like available roles / number of ducks. this won't change lobby size, mic on/off, etc.
it also makes way for a feature to manually pick new maps / gamemodes in the same lobby, or manually shuffle. I would think this could cause a lot of mayhem and would be fun.

A gamemode where the sheriff and duck are the only killers. The sheriff must correctly guess the duck, and of course if they don't, they die. When the sheriff dies the role gets passed to another goose and so on.

ā” NEUTRAL: Complete tasks before entering the castle doors while also trying (only way to save the knight after they're on fire is to use something like a bucket of water)
āœ… KNIGHT ROLE: Prevent the "dragon" role from interfering with the tasks of the others (this includes fixing any sabotages which for this gamemode would be: smashed walls, a fire, repairing the drawbridge to the castle doors, and maybe relighting the candles thus bring back the lights in the process). The "Knight" slows down the "Dragon" by attacking them

Add traits that apply to all birds into Classic +.

Neurotic: - armed with a cannister of pepper spray 1 use per game. Pepper spray blinds people around it (including self). Once per round, slight speed boost (flight response)

Angry: - this bird moves slightly faster (as they are angry) Time based tasks (ones where you have to wait) take slightly less time.

Sad: For whatever reason this bird is sad. Slightly slower movement speed. Time based tasks (ones where you have to wait) take slightly more time.

Happy: Oh aren't you a ball of sunshine? Can see in the dark for a limited range.

Tired: May occasionally sleep on the job. Denoted by eyes closing and no longer moving. Must click on "Wake Up" and wait 2 seconds before being able to move again.

Sick: This bird is contagious. Slow moving, audible coughing sounds, etc. If there is a pigeon, on board,
this bird could spread that. If this bird contributes to pigeon victory, it still loses (unless pigeon and sick are one and the same).

New setting: Personality shift (toggled as a game setting) After discussion and voting, the traits can be randomized Default - Off

#

I guess my criticism is a bit harsh considering I watched "Town of Us" a mod I thoroughly enjoyed the hell out of, get transferred to Polus.gg, stripped of almost all of its former glory (and roles, etc). Mind you, I did have high hopes when it got approval to be on Steam, etc, got its own servers to host the game, etc... But I must admit, I was a bit disappointed to see that Town of Us was pretty much stripped to a barebone version of what it once was. So, admittedly, I am a bit dejected in that aspect. I got so burned out on barebones "Among Us" that's why I moved on to checking out this game and after the server issues with Among Us, felt this would be a good game to incorporate into my server. So, admittedly, a lot of my ideas are spins or variations on stuff from Town of Us (a few original ones like KEVIN!!!), and that's about it. Admittedly, there isn't a whole lot more that can be added to a game of social deduction that A) hasn't already been incorporated, B) hasn't been done before, or C) wouldn't be too complicated.

in a Christmas mode you could have a Falcon alternative to be a Santa type bird -- They are neutral, they win by giving out coal or gifts-- If they give coal to a duck, that duck dies during a meeting - If they give coal to a goose, Santa dies -- they need to correctly gift 3-5 ducks.--- Gifting is similar to Pigeon tags but has 2 options.. Instead of Venting they give Coal, instead of killing they gift. --- Living geese with gifts could earn a bounty of 1-5 silver. --- Long cooldown but possible to gift multiple birds in one round.

I put it in Game-mode due to it being a seasonal thing, it could be worked into a gome mode or role

so technailly sheriff 2.0 but has its own win condition?

#

it does't kill in game though, only after discussion in meeting.. and that gift bounty could be collected by killers next round, makes them think they killed a gravy or gravy killer

Discussion ends, 3 die (Maybe christmas lights cover their icon instead of a bullet) -- one coulda been Santa for mis-gifting

Basically all neutrals win together, they should try and find other neutrals and try to complete each others' tasks

%gamemode dumb game mode idea: Disco Roles
Basically, it starts out as a normal game of classic+ However, after every 2 meetings, everyone switches roles. No new roles are added, but roles belonging to dead players will never be given to someone else.

Instead of having to do tasks, thereā€™s a timer that, once it hits zero, has geese auto win. Tasks are still available, but they work on a gravy goose like system, with heavily stunted base silver earnings to complement.
(Bounties are added after the fact)

Investigative roles transfer their results to the next person. assassins transfer their unused shots, spyā€™s can use the previous spies work to reveal half of the previously revealed.

Gravy geese gain the bounty they earned during that role section, but anyone who kills the current one will get a %75 cut of all of the past gravyā€™s bounties.

(Tried to balance this a bit, would either be really fun or annoying af)

If there were a super dodo then it would completely break everything. Itā€™s a social deduction game and the dodo has to try to convince everyone that they need to get voted out with the same abilities as a classic goose. Itā€™s honestly all strategy or luck. If you add in things that a duck can do to the dodo, the dodo is now also the mechanic, snitch duck, AND morphing duck without a kill button. It breaks the entire balance of the game and takes away social deduction as you would have such a high chance of winning. It would be a very easy role to win as and would get very annoying very quickly.

%gamemode red light green light from squid game, but geese have todo tasks to win, while ducks have to stop them by activating the light( light does have a timer for when itā€™s red, Iā€™m not giving the ducks infinite red light) other sabotages can be activated, but sabotages that intiate fires and other sabotages that can make ducks win the game are changed to block task completion until fixed. Ducks canā€™t kill, but can push geese which kills in red light There are no meeting. The game is over when all tasks are done or when all geese die

%gamemode
Task Race

Every task is assigned a block size based on it's length, longer tasks get larger blocks
Everyone is a goose*, and everyone has a meter that every X interval ([around every 45 seconds] can be changed slightly) will drop a block

Large blocks will drop if the meter is below %50
Medium ones below %80
Small ones are constantly dropping

If the meter completely fills up, you have ~15-25 second to get it below filling up, if you don't, you die.

The interval of blocks falling increases as the game goes on, last goose alive wins.

*BONUS IDEA, there could be 1-2 ducks whos main job is to sabotage the geese. all sabbos are large/medium tasks that will be put on everyone's meter no matter how full. Sabotages that would kill everyone (reactor, fire whatever) instead give medium blocks that are slowly growing, eventually killing everyone. all sabotages are individual, and everyone must fix them for themselves and themselves only. (ducks win siver based on how fast geese die)

Question did someone suggest a traitor mode, where one of the good roles swap to the bad side?

#

If no one has suggested it then traitor mode
At the start of the game one good role is swapped to the bad side and gains some abilities
Evil Sheriff, goose, vig: become regular ducks
Evil Gravy: same as regular duck, but keeps bounty
Evil Bodyguard: has a different target than hitman
Evil detective : anyone they investigate will look sus
Evil lover goose: if they love a goose, they will be like a lover goose. If they love a duck, they will be like a lover duck.
Evil technician: sabotages have a lower cooldown than regular
Evil mechanic: can go to any vents
Evil snoop: can go to any snoop area
evil Canadian: someone random auto reports the kill.
evil mimic: knows the imposters, but the imposter donā€™t know him.
Evil Birdwatcher and Evil medium:like regular, but on duck team
Likely this will never happen, but one can dream šŸ™‚

#

If I missed some roles, let me know

#

Oh yea, no evil good role can kill, sabotage, or vent unless it specifically says or thatā€™s their ability before or after they become evil.

Evil Canadian was suggested a while ago, called Canadian Duck -- They auto report their own kills, it was a joke but still funny to think about

i got them to realize their project full of crap because among us had a crap codebase and they were building an even crappier one

I think I got good idea(s) for some game modes, and I personally think it's hilarious. these are based on a stream.

Chaotic mode
May the Chaos come into play with this game mode. (this is based on a "what if" thought...) Only killing roles (and some mimic geese or a new role that will win IF they survive.) will be here. Unleash your inner Duck, Vulture, Falcon, or any other role at your disposal here. It shall be Chaotic. Let it all ensue. (Meetings turned on will make this mode even more Chaotic and more fun. Colorblind votes is turned on by default.)

Same but hits different
(based on multiple people on stream claiming the exact same role when they start the game, for example; "IM THE BODYGUARD!")

Everyone is the same role (as geese) except for 2-3 people (as any ducks or neutral killing roles. or even dodo.)
If everyone is the Gravy Goose? they have to try their hardest to survive; and of course; every Goose has their pros and cons. they need a special ability; like less tasks, but more money
If everyone is an objective role; such as Bodyguard? they'll know only 1 other body guard. It's up to everyone else to figure out who else is what role.
Basically; this game mode: everyone is the same, but they all hit different, since there are 2 or 3 other roles on the loose.

Sorry, I had to type this all in a hurry...; but, I hope that this helps for more gamemode concepts!

I have no idea if this has been Suggested yet, but here goesā€¦

Hide and Seek

You get one(or more depending on player amount), the Duck(s). Everyone has to do a certain task or tasks and then find a place to hide immediately. The Duck or Ducks have limited vision, but their kill cool down is at the lowest setting or set to birdwatcher vision. I think this would be a very fun gamemode to include!

Game mode: items.

Items scattered throughout the map. All tasks need items to complete.Geese use items complete tasks while duck have to use items to kill Geese.

When reporting a body, the Goose who reported have to ā€œsolve the caseā€ by completing mini puzzle to find out the murder weapon. Reporting Goose can then decide if it wants to share the info with other Geese.

If we put the gravy in there don't worry;

We'll probably make it that if it also reflect kills it's killer in the event it's completed its task or something stupid like that

The Poison Gravy Goose

#

Mode Idea: Gravy Train: 3-5 Players are Ducks, the rest are Gravy Geese. The more tasks the Gravy does the more valuable it is to kill. Game ends after a set Timer. Gravy Geese respawn in random location X amount of time after death. Ducks are in a race to gather as many points as possible before time runs out. There are always 2 winners. Goose with most tasks done and Duck with most bounties earned. -- This mode does not give silver for bounties but does give cosmetic materials (lower rate?) Tasks are endless.

The biggest problem that I can currently see for that mode is the win screen. Everything is team-based, so I don't think you can pick one of the team out as the winner. Especially if you have two different winners: one from the aggressors (ducks) and one from the prey (geese).

#

Even if it were somehow set up so that the ducks and geese were on equal scoring, I'm not sure how you'd isolate one as the winner.

Keep in mind if an idea is good enough our set up allows us to do some pretty neat things with visuals.

cops and robber
Map: Chapel (ONLY)
1-3 ducks are cops while geese are robber their mission objective is to do tasks(ILLEGEAL TASKS) and duck must stop the geese(in case you wanna know why its because ||they didnt do taxes||) ducks kill ability's is arrest so if the ducks kill a goose the animation go and show the duck throwing a goose into a cell and there are keys randomly spawn in the map(doesnt matter if the goose find keys if the goose is in jail or no) but the goose with keys inside the cell cannot open but there can be locksmith criminal so obviously the geese win is tasks and ducks victory if they arrest ALL geese

#

also needs 1 key per goose if they find so they dont stack keys

lost gust
#

when we have a smaller chill group and want some excitement we turn blind ducks on and only kill/kill related roles (and venting roles if attendance calls for it). we still try to play the way classic is intended to play. it would be a cool game mode if we could get a couple more goose killing roles.

Cops And Robbers (Pretty Self Explanitory) The robbers are tryin to steal some money out of the bank but they have to find 5 keys scatterd arond the map to open the vault and depostit it in the warehouse.There are 2 cops in this gamemode that are trying to stop the robbers the robbers have 3 lives after the 3rd one you die

how about classic murder, there is a sheriff, a duck, and multiple normal gooses

the sheriff has a cool down of 10-20 depending on how long the duck has

the duck has a cool down of 5-10

text chat is always on, and works as if it would in a meeting(also works with proxy)

bodys do not appear at all in this mode

when the sheriff dies in any way, they drop a gun from where they were standing, and everyone except the duck can see this(to prevent camping) and when a goose walks over the gun, they instantly turn into the sheriff

tasks are either on/off i cant decide

edit: forgot to add this
the duck has to be the last one standing, while all the innocents has to kill the duck
so the duck can be a falcon if you want
