Idea: if your role is a specific species of bird then to you and any other people of that role, it should look like what that bird looks like in real life

[tender osprey]

I have a somewhat different idea: wouldn't it be cool to create a kind of story mode in GGD? The game has a lore, but it's a little imperceptible. This would also be a cool way for some to be able to play even without Wi-Fi. This story mode could explain that cinematic/trailer in the game that shows the ducks trying to stop something the geese were doing. It could also explain some classes like the pelican (which according to the lore is like an avatar of the vulture) among others with a mystery behind it. I think it's too crazy of my mind, but I also think it would be interesting.

[ocean cypress]

We have definitely been thinking of various ways to expand and present the lore (THERES JUST SO MUCH lol)

[ocean cypress]

@worldly crescent stop pinging me please

[tropic plinth]

My two ideas are to add a trading system for cosmetics (which would also means duplicates wouldn’t turn to feathers but you’d have extras to trade with people) and I think since lovers have their own winning screen they should also get a lovers start screen so they know who their lovers are :)

I feel like there should be a filter option that hides 18+ lobbies. I cannot find a game because there are too many 18+ lobbies.

[winter epoch]

Uh, so I wanted to make a video talking about my take on the game's balancing, the good and the bad. Is there any philosophy on role designing that I could know? Like if duck and goose roles are made different from each other. Doesn't need to be something big

New Duck Class Idea
Name: Butcher
Ability: You can move the body of the goose you killed to another place on the map, but it will be random.

[jovial forge]

Would be fine to have a "mute all for everyone"-Button for the lobby owner in the lobby-area. Sometimes there is important to say and too many geese don't stop talking. So it would be a good idea to have a mute buton, muting all geese so the owner of the lobby can say some impotant things, like special rules for his lobby (e.g. no random kills, pelcian should not report if eaten some geese,...). I think, that would be an important improvement for lobby owners. Thanks.

[pale reef]

At that point, just be able to pin a chat message in the lobby

[zenith gyro]

Would be cool to have something like a revive but the revived person could have a twist like revive and be evil or something

"Hey, I just suggested a role, can we add it?"

The Gaggle Team will deliberate over the suggestion, but likely chances are it does not align with our Designing Roles for Classic/Draft Living Document.

Feel free to give it a read, if you want some insight into the roles that would be more likely to approve of. This doesn't mean that your suggestion can't be inspiring and built upon, with this document in mind, keep at it! We love to see your ideas and concepts.

For the role

[sleek chasm]

Idea: AI Voice for meetings in Voice Lobbys:
Turn every message in a meeting’s chat (or voice lobby) into spoken audio using AI voices.

Why this matters:
Accessibility – Makes it easier for participants who can’t (or don’t want to) read during the meeting.
Focus & multitasking – People can stay engaged without constantly looking at the chat window.
Inclusion – In voice-only spaces, text contributions won’t get overlooked.
Language support – Messages could be translated and then spoken aloud in the listener’s language.
Personalization – Assign each participant a unique AI voice for clarity and a more natural feel.

How it could work:
Message queue system to ensure messages are read in order without interrupting speakers.

It should work with all languages like english, turkish, german...

But the messages should still be in chat for people that want to read

Top features:

• History of the games played with a replay option
• Win rate statistics
• Number of tasks completed at the end of the game (to motivate geese to do them)

[ocean cypress]

https://gaggle.fun/dashboard/game-stats

Regarding number of tasks in classic/draft, everyone will play the game they want to play. Some geese may play more task oriented to go for task wins, some may prefer to investigate and deduce the ducks to get them voted out. There is an icon that shows who completed the most tasks if thats a stat that is important to you.
The geese are playing for the same team, the ducks are playing for the same team, the neutrals are out there with their own goals.

Some roles don't necessarily work together or on some maps thats why some roles are mutually exclusive to each other or available on certain maps

I wish Cupid role was available on all maps

[tacit sierra]

As a personal GGD clips editor, I would love to have a feature if possible to see the replay of the entire round and the full map, although not sure if there's too many things to keep track of that would unoptimize the game. The most basic would be an mp4 of the entire zoomed out map and everyone's position. Though now thinking about it, I have no idea if the game application itself can allow us to download or export files...

Also, another thing for editing I would love is we could download game logs from the site? especially since it only stores the previous 20 rounds, and we play 20+ per session

Hello, good night! I would like to request a price reduction for Goose Goose Duck on the Brazilian server, as the current prices are much higher than what most players here can afford. I believe that with this decrease, more players would be able to make purchases more often and obtain better-quality skins. It doesn’t need to be a huge reduction, just a symbolic adjustment that benefits both sides.

Roles and Gameplay Customization
‎
‎I suggest making flexible settings in private lobbies for more variety and chaos. For example: changing the number of roles that an Assassin can shoot in one game, the ability of an Assassin to kill multiple players in one meeting, making it possible to change the cooldown of abilities such as infecting a Pigeon, reloading a Demolitionist/Clown/Mime, making it possible for a Canadian report when detonating by bomb, making arrows pointing to corpses for a Mortician, allowing a Raven to try to guess roles multiple times per meeting, make it possible to vent Dodo/Mimic, make Falcon and Vulture a team, and much more.

[ocean cypress]

This has definitely been something that has been under consideration for quite some time, maybe as early as Day 1. There are lots of things to consider, pros and cons, when it comes to ideas like this, both in technical, UI/UX and gameplay sense.

Priority of course is keeping GGD friendly to new and experienced players.

Short Answer: Still under consideration. How to do it and more importantly how to do it right

[serene reef]

Ghost Tasks
After you die it's somewhat boring to wait around for the game to finish with no further way to contribute or engage. Giving ghosts some further purpose would be fun & keep people from ditching once they die. Ghosts could get tasks that can help their team win.

Goose Ghosts
Goose Ghost Only Tasks: Increase the line of sight temporarily for alive players, A task to give ducks a louder footprint noise for x seconds, A task that increases the kill/sabo timer for ducks, etc.

🦆 Duck Ghosts
Duck Ghost Only Tasks like: Decreasing the kill timer for their team mates, Closing single doors (rather than all like the sabo), messing with alive players like short teleports randomly to mess them up, seeing glimpses of a ghost silhouette within their vision to make them think they've been seen.

❓ Neutral Ghosts could/should also have options but unsure of specific suggestions, you get the idea.
Ghost Vote. Just a fake way to add your vote and show who you're voting for in meetings that only ghosts can see.

[oblique sonnet]

Personal role creator
Player gats ambility to create own roles by adding new role to it's list and leting him setup the role by settings, some kind of code blocks or nodes and letting him turn no this role on his lobby or sharing it with others

Duolingo collaboration
(sorry for using a translator)
I was scrolling through Duolingo’s Instagram and noticed they often joke about locking people in the basement if they skip lessons, which made me think of this 😂
Since Goose Goose Duck actually has a basement, how about decorating it with a Duolingo theme and making Duo a neutral role?
Or, since it’s an owl, maybe we could connect it with the Hide and Seek mode somehow!

[ocean cypress]

Know people at Duolingo? Have their peeps call our peeps.
Collaborations are always interesting but they have to be in the best interest of both IPs/copyright.

[serene reef]

Or as an NPC/ World option similar to the mummy. While in the basement you must do at least one language task to avoid being caught by the duoOwl and killed. He hunts you in the map until you complete the lesson and kills you if he finds you before you complete it. Nothing more ominous than that Owl.

There are many famous birds out there. If you know any of them that might be interested in collaborating be sure to have their peeps call our peeps

[ocean cypress]

@tacit sierra no need to repost, we read everything, we may not acknowledge everything but we read it. For your particular request not sure how much a demand there would be for something like that. Not saying "no" but something to consider

Something similar that we implemented in the past was support for a third party software called Outplayed by Overwolf that would record your session and highlight moments like kills, meetings, etc.

Sometimes in Lobbys it is very loud esp. if younger players are welcome. So it would be a very good idea if the Lobby owner gets a button to mute all other players so he/she can make some announcments and everybody must listen.

Sometimes it would also fine to have this button in meetings. Maybe with time stopping, but maybe a problem if the owner misuses his power.

[severe shadow]

Every public server I've been in, including my own when I host, has house rules. I think most players get annoyed having to say them/having to listen when the host has to announce before starting every round what the rules are in the case some new people joined. If there could be a place to type up house rules that'd be pretty cool. It'd also make it easier for new players joining so they don't get confused if people are talking over the rule announcement
Places that could be nice to see house rules:

on a bulliten in the lobby
the information tab where you see roles, or a new openable "house rules" tab
in the server selection screen, being able to select a button to open that lobby's house rules so you can get an idea of the lobby before joining

I was exited for a moment when I saw gift option what is really cool like it bu. I tought i could gift things from my inventory, so gotten disappointed for a sec, can you please make a gift option for cosmetics from ur inventory aswell please

[ocean cypress]

This is an idea we addressed a couple times in the past so don't mind answering this ([link](#💡︱general-ideas message) to previous conversation).
Player Marketplace:
No game allows this unless it goes through a third party marketplace. Reason being is that bad eggs will form their own black market and undercut the game Steam already has an issue with fraud that we deal with. Some accounts activate and purchase a ton of cosmetics with stolen CCs. We need to monitor them for chargebacks. Before we deactivate the accounts they sell them on unregulated third party marketplaces.
Putting in trading would further exacerbate this issue

[inland pewter]

[small peak]

Suggestion: Falcon role is boring and primitive compared to other similar roles, namely the Pelican and the Raven. In fact, you just kill, you can't vent and have no abilities, but the main problem is not in the difficulty, but in the lack of unique gameplay. When the role was first added, it might have seemed interesting, but now it seems boring and uninteresting. I suggest adding an ability to the Falcon that will allow you to simplify the role a little and add interest.
‎
‎The essence of ability will be to ""temporarily increase the field of view"" so that Falcon can see players while they are not seeing him, and can make more accurate kills. However, the Falcon's vision settings in lobby did not affect the Falcon's vision while using the ability.

[ocean cypress]

"boring" is subjective. Different people prefer different roles and that's ok

Did you know you can adjust the vision for all the different roles in the lobby settings?

[upper perch]

Decrease mort timer please.

[small peak]

Oh, sorry, I described it a little incorrectly. I am suggested Falcon's ability to "temporarily zoom in", i.e. like a Hawk during a hunt, only without the restriction of vision like the "Birdwatcher" and this is a cooldown ability.

Is there any way the "recent players" tab in the social menu could also show the name players used in the lobby you saw them in? It's really hard to know who to block/friend when their friend ID/username isn't the same as their in game name.

[ocean cypress]

Unfortunately a players in game name is not tied to their account, whereas their friendID is

[severe shadow]

That really sucks. I keep having people join that I need to kick but I can't figure out what their name is to block them after, too.

Good afternoon, dear Goose Goose Duck Community and Dev Team! Me -and the community that I am involved in - are in deep love with this game and we spend a lot of time playing turns after turns dealing with ducks and tasks. Since we really love to play with these game but we have a fairly large friend group so it is quite challenging to put such effort into our time schedule for everyone to enjoy the game on the same level, could you please increase the maximum player count in lobbies to 20 players? I have no idea if it is possible or at least relatively easy to make this change because sadly I don't have much experience with server management or coding, but it would be really amazing to have the opportunity of a massive lobby with twelve to fourteen innocent people and four rampaging ducks in the same lobby. If it is too difficult to make, I'd understand but I am most curious what is your opinion in this topic, and if you can make it, I'd love to be the part of it.

I actively use the statistics on your website, but for the local tournaments I organize, we need more detailed information.

Do you plan to release a public API in the future?

Currently, the data on the website is limited.
For high-level game analysis, I would like to see player movement:
Player telemetry: X/Y coordinates to build an interactive replay map (to see who was where).

Event timestamps: the exact time of specific actions (who completed which quest/ability and exactly when; not all of these parameters are displayed on the website yet).
Right now, we see only the total amount, but not the timeline. Having this data would be a huge plus for the development of our community and game analysis.
Thank you in advance for your feedback!

[ocean cypress]

(no need to reply to old responses to ping me, we read everything may not acknowledge everything but we read it )
as mentioned in the previous post, we currently don't offer a public API. Have ideas for tools/features you might want to see? You're in the right place. We use to have support (we may still have it) with Outplayed that recorded your sessions and matches and timestamps events like kills and deaths but we didn't hear too much feedback or use of it.

Nice to know people use the stats provided on the website. That tool is currently in beta so never know what additional data we may add to it. Thanks for the feedback

[ember plaza]

Decided to remind you, just in case something has changed since that time.
Sorry if something is wrong

The development of this topic like Outplayed is very interesting. But it would be very interesting to expand quest IDs so that it is possible to track the movement of the game by timings (these are wishes and suggestions, as well as adding a map of player movement to track after the game ends).

I am developing local Goose Goose Duck tournaments (with point scoring like in the Mafia game, like local MMR) for sporting interest and player ratings inside a small community; in this regard, your site and JSON logs from your site help.
If it is possible to expand them in the future, that would also be cool, instead of an API. Thanks!)
Success to you!

[stark vector]

What if there was a duck special chat? Like in muted lobbies where ducks can communicate independently. I think it would be very cool and helpful for coordination

[void gust]

Small QoL change to Serial Killer idea:
Randomize the target after each meeting. There have been too many games where the target is either hiding all game or the known Canadian. Sure, you can kill others, but your cooldown will be high.

[golden parrot]

Instead of just "any map" what about letting us check mark multiple maps when searching for public lobbies?

Currently you can only search for all maps (including Lounge which I am not interested in and want to filter out. I only want to play maps that have intercom on them) or 1 map specifically at a time which can often lead to no results for that particular map and be time consuming trying to find a lobby.

More Investigate Roles in Draft

We all love draft right, something ive noticed is that in the old version of ggd you could run around doing ur rolee, now it feels like its mostly just goose killers vs the others bad birds. The othe goose roles are slow and not hard to catch up. I feel like in draft games, alot of people are avoiding investgate roles, tht they didnt before.

Something to battle this could be new investigate roles that make them more fun and entertaining to play, reworks sum old roles like medium, detective, and scientist (i dont think anyone like scientist, sorry).

This could be done by perchance have a night/day cycle like raven does, to investigte someone during meetings instead of runnning around and try to find them. OR you could look at what other people say about the roles here in the general ideas.

I remember back in the days tht investigate roles was so much fun to play. Now its sadly feels jus like killers vs killers...

[ocean cypress]

There are definitely a lot of roles! Everyone prefers some roles over others that's the great part of having so many options available
In general I think its fair to say that people do like having that kill button available to them for "defense" its a tool, players choice how they want to use it
That being said, the awesome thing about Goose Goose Duck is there are many lobby settings available to help cater a lobby you are looking for
Too many killers in play? Try Excluding some of the role options. Hosts lobby, hosts rules

ok sorry about that 😅 Firstly thanks for the suggestion/feedback while also acknowledging one of the biggest challenge of supporting a free to play live service game, keeping it sustainable and operational. It has been an ongoing conversation with the community and we're always looking into new ways to continue improving upon GGD
Unfortunately when it comes to introducing exchanging of "free currency" (silver and dust) for "premium currency" (gold), bad eggs would create a black market and undercut the game. Fraud, bots, cheaters, stolen accounts are the tip of the iceberg of bad egg behavior we have to address daily
(The following bot response shows some other considerations and summarization of previous conversations with the community)

[languid wasp]

Info

"I don't like/approve of the new monetization or how you get cosmetics"

Thank you for your feedback. We understand some players are unhappy with the new cosmetic system.

The recent changes aim to achieve three main goals:
1) Ease for Free-to-Play Players: We want free-to-play players to obtain items more quickly, which the new system supports.
2) Cosmetic Differentiation: There should be a clearer distinction between free-to-play and paid players in terms of cosmetics.
3) Ad-Free Experience: Keeping the game 100% free and ad-free remains a priority.

We acknowledge the feedback and concerns raised:
Cosmetics: Some players are unhappy with the new way to obtain cosmetics. We based our decisions on feedback and engagement data, and we’re not done improving these systems.
Incentive for Older Players: Some older free-to-play players feel less incentive to play. While we strive to balance free content and monetization, we need to maintain sustainability.
Gameplay Rewards: Rewarding certain gameplay styles has led to issues like botting and griefing. We are exploring ways to incentivize proper gameplay without negatively impacting the experience.
Value of Free-to-Play: The perception of the game being free-to-play is mixed. While our goal was to reach as many players as possible, we recognize the differing views and will consider this in future decisions.

We are continually making improvements and appreciate your patience as we roll out updates to support Goose Goose Duck.

[ocean cypress]

just wanted to repeat that we appreciate all feedback and we are listening

[dense crypt]

Yes thank you, I just was surprised that some of the achievements costed gold.

[fallen blaze]

• Meeting Votes Changes

• Shown Votes
  Have this option removed as it really has no use in the vanilla (classic, draft) gamemodes perhaps only make it exclusive to the ghosts

• Colourblind Votes
  The default choice is fine and probably the best one in the social deduction aspect of this game but perhaps it should have one accesibility option having the old blind votes (show the number of votes instead of individual birds) in the settings

• Blind Votes
  I kind of like the aspect of it, it gives way less info to understand the number of geese vs non geese in meetings but it kind of bugs me it still makes you wait while not explaining anything to the players so I reworked it having a new votes option and maybe still keeping this one with some changes

• New Semiblind Votes
  It shows if a player has been voted by atleast one player (or votes from the wheel in the carnival), it could be done so with the old blind votes and having only a 1+ next to the player when votes are revealed
  Players can still deduce the number of geese vs non geese but this option makes it way more complicated to do so and no longer makes the pelican/falcon existence hidden in the meetings

[fallen blaze]

• End Results Changes

• Task Xp
  Instead of giving 5% xp after doing a certain number of tasks, its percentage should increase per every task done similar to how the gravy bonus works while also having a limit
  One idea that I had for this was every 3 tasks would give out 2% xp with a cap of 10% xp

• Winner Xp
  Instead of giving a random percentage multiple of 5, it should give more closer values so the xp is barely affected by chance and more so affected by faction in which the player belongs
  I got no idea for this one but I'd rather have anything instead of the current winner xp bonus

• Task and Kills Trophies
  Instead of randomly chosing one player with the most tasks/kills done when there's ties, now all the players in the tie are given the trophy
  And instead of using a trophy icon for most tasks done, which can be confused as MVP, its icon should be a check list to be clearer, additionally have the most kills icon be a skull or something because the knife represents ducks which doesn't make sense to have it represent as most kills (and also because the pelican should be credited with the most kills too)

• Number of tasks/kills done
  I understand the dev's decision to not have it already as it might encourage players forcing others to play in a specific way which could be toxic
  Ggd is fun because most of its gameplay allows multiple playstyles that can be used and this last change may affect that, the only limit to those playstyles are the role's win conditions and the host's rules
  I still bring out this suggestion as it could perhaps be added in a way it can't be used to force others to play in a certain way or be used in a toxic manner

A more sensitive microphone would be helpful; I struggle to be heard and I often have to shout.

[ocean cypress]

There are settings for amplitude and sensitivity found in the settings panel that you can adjust

[pale cypress]

But that's not enough

[ocean cypress]

if you're too quiet you can try increasing your amp setting up a couple (DO NOT DO TOO MUCH AT ONCE at the risk of being wayy to loud all of a sudden)

If you still cant be heard, you will need to check your hardware device

or third party settings if your mic goes through another software

other common solution is that the wrong mic is selected

Ok

[lapis notch]

For private lobbies, custom role settings would be amazing. Ex: Giving specifically Professional low vision, changing guaranteed Lobbyist, Soldier and Vulture ability amounts. Or even a longer kill cooldown on one role. Something like that could bring more customization to private games with friends and buddies.

[upper perch]

Can we increase the friends list?

[somber tide]

i think increasing the blocked player list would also be beneficial since more than 15 people have been not so friendly in some lobbies me or my friends make :T
i barely have any blocked but my friends have some that get tedious to ban from lobbies they make everytime we play

[past hedge]

An idea that people who play with friends, or in private lobbies, that we'd like is that to add every role when in private lobbies. But for specific roles that may bug out like Drone, or hawk/looter, (Though Warlock and Drone maybe can be worked on a bit to fit other maps) can be left out and stay in their respective maps. But roles like fortune teller, cupid or others should be able to be added by a setting in a private lobby.

Another idea that I thought is that for casual when you put a role as '?' you should be able to put it's counter part as '?' too. (For example, Putting soldier and lobbyist with '?' but of course both can't be in the game)

Another idea for corruption roles, such as inquisitor/seamstress, is that these can also fit the casual/draft game modes. (Just keep that ducks appear as evil and the other roles, such as high priest/initiate can stay in corruption but I feel like Sin eater could be worked a bit to fit in casual/ or just make a counter part for casual like high priest/assassin that just self bombs like a terrorist).

This is just so playing with friends can be more chaotic and even if a bit op, it could be funner and of course you don't have to turn on the options.

Ps. PLEASE add a setting that makes lovers a secondary role 😭

[ocean cypress]

If a role "bugs out", be sure to report it, unfortunately can't fix bugs if they are not reported

When new roles are added, they may start off on one map that they were initially designed for and as time goes may be expanded to other maps after a trial period. Decision is usually based off reception, feedback, and fine tuning that comes with new content releases.
For example roles like the Hawk that relies on the Mallardon, would not work on other maps that don't have the Mallardon. Similar to the roles of other gamemodes such as the ones that rely are are designed around the corruption mechanic in the corruption game mode, a mechanic that is not included in classic/draft).

In draft mode, you can "Exclude roles" so they are not included in the draft pool if you want to exclude them

[past hedge]

That isn't what I meant when I said roles that can bug out, lol. I haven't seen any bugs. (Except a glitch between clown and survivalist that makes the whole screen black and you have to rejoin)
I meant like for exanple if you were to add my suggestion, then yeah I understand not adding actually every role since some can freak out on other maps. I just thought of it as a new idea to have a new experience with friends (Sorry if my english is bad, it's not my first language)

Dear Gaggle.fun Team,

I am writing to you regarding the task distribution in Goose Goose Duck.

Currently, the game suffers from the fact that all tasks—including those shared by both ducks and geese—are located at fixed, unchanging positions. Since there is no randomization, ducks are exposed far too quickly by experienced players. Geese simply have to monitor the known fixed points to immediately spot any irregularities.

To increase the strategic depth and replay value, I suggest randomizing the task locations. An unpredictable distribution would deepen the social deduction element, as simply watching fixed spots would no longer automatically lead to exposing ducks.

Thank you for your hard work on this game.
Greetings from Germany

The team is always working on something. Since its release we have continuously been releasing new content

[sullen harness]

Why do you only add new skins and that's it?

When will there be more global updates?

[ocean cypress]

The team is always working on something. Some things take more time than others. For example cosmetics (1 artist required) are a lot faster to create and release than say a new map (that requires artists, developers, lots of beta testing, etc.)

as to when...

[languid wasp]

@sullen harness

Info

When will we get the next roles/maps/feature/cool stuff?

As soon as it's ready! The gaggle team develop quickly, and we release patches fairly often. We don't often give out firm dates because it's either going to be a lie if we're wrong, or it'll be a rushed product that might sacrifice quality for speed. This could translate into releasing something without sufficient testing and creating lots of bugs for the game.

If you find none of that explanation sufficient, as we always say, today we are one day closer than yesterday.

[ocean cypress]

I would say we're pretty good when it comes to releasing content. Most games don't update at all. We're also free to play

Hope that answers your question

[sullen harness]

It's just that the number of online players has dropped dramatically recently

It's sad

[ocean cypress]

The number of online players have dropped dramatically across the entire platform

Weather is getting warmer, people are going outside

There are definitely high seasons and low seasons throughout the year

[sullen harness]

On the contrary, summer is the peak of online activity

[ocean cypress]

Depends on your data source

[sullen harness]

If we compare previous years, we can see a significant decline in general

[ocean cypress]

Are you talking about GGD specifically or steam?

[sullen harness]

I'm a fan of your game and it makes me sad to see it die

[ocean cypress]

because I am talking about Steam

You also arent looking at mobile player numbers

[sullen harness]

Specifically

[ocean cypress]

We keep an eye on the player and engagement data

New maps and new roles aren't specifically what attracts old and new players

[sullen harness]

In general, I hope you add something really cool besides skins

[ocean cypress]

We're always working on something
Cosmetics are what keep GGD sustainable and allow us to keep working on the game

[sullen harness]

Fine

[ocean cypress]

without cosmetics, we would likely have to shut down GGD completely. Operation expenses are not cheap 😬

and again a lot quicker for one artist to create a cosmetic set than it is for a team of artists, developers, beta testers, etc to develop a full map

Adding the Arabic language option to the room language settings isn't about translation, but rather about making it possible to create rooms for Arabic speakers, as accessing an Arabic room can be difficult.

[inland yacht]

So yeah, I don’t know if this is the right channel, but basically for a while now I’ve been playing every evening with my family, it’s really fun and we don’t have much to complain about regarding the game except for a few small inconveniences.
First, when it comes to cosmetics, I feel like it’s a bit too hard to get them for casual players. Not everyone has the time or money to invest to have a really cool look.
Then, secondly but still quite noticeable the RNG for roles: almost every time, the first players get the best roles, and the last ones get roles that are a bit less fun.
I don’t know if my opinion is really relevant, but there you go.

[ocean cypress]

#📄︱feedback would be the better channel but this is ok

Goose Goose Duck is a free to play game, cosmetics and premium currency are what help keep GGD operational. You're right not everyone has time or financial ability to purchase/earn cosmetics and thats OK they are completely optional and do not provide any gameplay advantage. Collect silver just by playing and use that silver to collect dust for the dust shop, alternatively there is usually a flight pass in progress to earn flight points by playing.

If you're playing Draft the picking order is randomized. The lower the picking number, the larger the picking pool is. You have more roles to be offered to you from more factions.

[inland yacht]

Thank you for your response, and sorry if my questions seemed a bit silly.

[ocean cypress]

No problem at all thats one of the reasons why we have these channels, to answer questions

[random snow]

Hello! This idea has probably already been pitched, but I would love to get some ideas or alternatives to what I’m about to say:

I’ve noticed that when the Assassin shoots someone a 2nd time (either another player or themselves) players start revealing their roles since at that point the Assassin no longer can kill during meetings. I personally find this a little problematic since the purpose of the Assassin role is to prevent people from claiming their roles during the game (wether or not it’s an actual problem is subjective). I get why there’s a limit for how many players they can kill during meetings & completely agree with a cap. However after the 2nd meeting kill, many players know that they’re safe to reveal their roles since at that point the Assassin has either used up their 2 guesses or died on their second guess.

My suggestion: The only thing I can think of is increasing the Assassin’s meeting kills from 2 to 3. Idk how much that would affect gameplay or if it would make the role too op.

[brave pecan]

Hi, can i suggest more player for the side mode than 5 players only? 2 sniper + 2 helper is good but why only 1 🦉?

[void bridge]

I'd love it if the Task Race mode had the ability for everyone to talk to eachother globally like Hoot & Seek.

[fallen blaze]

I think by how it's designed, the assassin is encouraged to save their last bullet to fulfill their purpose instead of going 2/2 and allowing players to full claim
If you dont want full claiming of any sort in your lobbies you can set up rules or have the raven in your game since it does a better job punishing role claimers

Since I don't think it would be a good idea to increase the amount of bullets

Dear Gaggle Studios Team,
I hope you are doing well.
My name is Evgeny, and I am an active player of Goose Goose Duck. I would like to share a suggestion that I believe could improve the player experience.
Currently, many roles in the game have a very low chance of being assigned during matches. Because of this, it is quite difficult to fully experience and understand newly added or updated roles through gameplay alone. Reading descriptions does not always provide a clear understanding of how a role actually feels in practice.
I would like to suggest adding a feature that allows players to test or preview roles in a controlled environment (for example, a sandbox or practice mode). This would help players better learn game mechanics, explore new content, and stay engaged with updates.
I believe this feature would make the game more accessible and enjoyable, especially for players who want to fully experience all aspects of the game.
Thank you for your time and for the great work you are doing on Goose Goose Duck.
Kind regards,
Evgeny

Witch Doctor stare meter! instead of resetting to 0 instantly, make it progressively decrease.. its hard enough to stare at someone for long not to get suspicious or them running out of the vision

Witch doctor one of my favourite roles

[fierce venture]

Maybe add a setting or a gamemode that allow the duck to kill each other (not blind duck/mimic) It would be fun to be able to have traitors inside the traitors

I think that would lead to much more griefing than enjoyment sadly, ducks would have no reason to knowingly go after each other

So what if there could be an age verification and have it labeled 18+ on someone’s profile or only 18+ people can join those lobbies. I say this because I rarely get a game where I don’t get kick because I “sound young” or “sound like a child” it’s so bad I hardly get a chance to play.

[somber tide]

dude im pretty sure id drop the game in a heartbeat if that became a requirement for the game
im sorry you end up having bad luck but i would not be happy having to give my information just to play a game
it would kill the good vibes for me too quickly :(

[novel siren]

I mean lots of games have age verification steps, but I guess that’s fine. No worries 🙂

[ocean cypress]

The only true way to do age verification would be to collect and verify government ids or integrate a third party verification service that requires users to submit their government ids which I dont think we want to be responsible for 😅

[novel siren]

That’s totally fair I get it

[somber tide]

i just dont like giving my info to the internet tbh

Add arabic language to the game

[gray crane]

I’d like to suggest adding role restriction indicators and incompatible role indicators in-game.
It would be helpful if the game showed role restrictions and incompatible roles during the round. This could help players understand roles better and avoid misunderstandings.
Right now, players can only see incompatible roles in the settings before the game starts, and that only exists in Classic mode. But in Draft mode, especially in public lobbies, many players don’t know which roles are incompatible (for example, Lobbyist and Soldier).
Also, some Duck roles can't hide/vent/enter the fog, but currently only Silencer Duck says this clearly. There are other Duck roles with the same limitation, but the game does not mention it. Adding an indicator for roles that can't hide/vent/enter the fog would make the roles easier to understand.

[fading rose]

One possible downside is that adding too many indicators could make the UI feel cluttered or overwhelming, especially for newer players. If every role has multiple restriction labels or warnings, the role descriptions might become harder to read quickly during a round.
A cleaner solution could be using small icons, tooltips, or expandable indicators instead of large text descriptions. That way, the game can still provide important information without overloading the screen.

[somber tide]

i find it funny they put snoop in there when snoop has been retired for a long while now XD

[lucid herald]

I would like to suggest a role for killers and or neutral and the name is called randomizer or mystery box you have a little box ability and you have a killer cooldown but the button looka like a question mark and when your cooldown is up you click the button and it selects one person randomly to have a certain window to kill one duck/goose i haven’t tweaked the idea yet so it might be a bit choppy but im working on it.

[gloomy helm]

It would be better is randomizer cannot kill

[slate yoke]

repeating roles: (classic/draft setting)roles can repeat, so more than one player can get it in a single game

Geese = good guys.

[hazy pivot]

Duck bills is pretty genius though, we can still call it that 🙂

[sand egret]

This is a cool idea, I see how that could make the ghost life more interesting, but we'll have to nerf the ability a bit so they can't just teleport to tasks using players 😋

[neon bone]

Ghosts can only teleport to players after they finish all of their tasks @sand egret

You can make it so that when all the tasks are completed

The system implements an extra check mark on the top to register that all tasks are completed and ghosts can now spectate players

Or the ghosts can toggle back to free, to freely roam around the map again

Like a camera lock

If you've ever played league of legends and you did a replay of a match you played

You can lock the camera to one player, if you move your keys, it unlocks so you can move the map to where you want

Sort of thing :)

[sand egret]

Oh yeah I see what you mean

Having them spectate after they have done their job is definitely a solution to consider too 👍

[hazy pivot]

I think a "follow" would be interesting; we have some other plans for the ghosts too... They might end up playing a more important role than just finishing tasks 🙂

This is definitely something we'll put up on the board and decide how we can implement something that makes sense.

engaging with the community and understanding what they want over waiting for a reaction is what I believe is the way to go.

Piggybacking off that

It’s a good game

Have a Survivor (tv show) element where someone can find an immunity item that nullifies all votes towards them only during a single vote if they opt to use it beforehand. Maybe call it the Golden Goose. This could be turned on/off via options and be displayed for everyone to know if it's been found. If the holder of the item is killed, it drops or transfers to the duck/goose that killed it.

[hazy pivot]

We have an internal one but we will look at displaying this in announcements. We're just knocking them off so fast that it's hard to keep up and we don't want to bombard everyone.

[simple bramble]

i mean mostly because people keep spamming in bug reports and im sure as hell some will repeat

and some others you may already know about

What if there were cooperative tasks similar to those in Jackbox' Push The Button?
Now, I don't know how balanced it would be to require two people to go to the same place to help eachother with a task, but I think it would be really cool to make some aspects of the game require more communication.

[hazy pivot]

We could experiment with this but will have to balance stuff for when a pair has one partner die off.

[gusty olive]

oh, true.
I for some reason didn't even consider that.

[still flume]

Is there a chance we can hear the people while dead thats alive?

[hazy pivot]

We originally had this but it became way too disorienting and problematic for the ghosts. It was taken out in favor of letting dead players hear one another.

[granite wave]

i believe this has been a thing in general ideas for quite some time but proximity chat like better crewlink since the way u have it is if their not in the same room cant talk to each other unless a player is at exit and other player is next to exit and it ruins a lot since i cant over hear conversations at all, which is quite sad.

[granite wave]

this way also ruins funny bits like screaming when some one is chasing you and nobody else can hear it

[granite wave]

sounds like the opposite

[vernal oracle]

the abiltly to see whos chatting (OFF VOTING)

[hazy pivot]

^^^ We had this but it gave information to living players which made it difficult for ducks to win.

[vernal oracle]

no like

sometimes i get confused

whos speaking

[vernal oracle]

isnt that the goal?

No like whos near you within the range of you.

[hazy pivot]

This stops working as soon as we introduce roles like the morphling.

[still flume]

can we put a death comms for like 5-7 seconds to get the reactions of them???

[hazy pivot]

The person who is getting killed will literally just tell everyone who killed them though.

[still flume]

only the killer hears it

like cod

[keen mantle]

Oh, like "hot mics" correct?

[frosty bronze]

yessir

[still flume]

what would people think about sabotage where it slits people up???

[fast wind]

ooooo @still flume not a bad idea

[still flume]

cause its hard to split people up

[scarlet coral]

Some people find the medium to be pretty OP...what if the medium only saw ghosts when a duck was in the vicinity?

[hazy pivot]

The medium role is way too powerful if there is only 1 duck, however if you have 2 ducks the ghosts can easily fool the medium.

The medium should be hunted first; before you start killing as a duck we advise trying to sniff out the medium. Aldo adding tasks to slow down the game helps with this.

[still flume]

i like there was a button on each side to call it

[hazy pivot]

We will have a button inside to activate it. It can be sabotaged too.

Powered by electricity.

[vernal oracle]

Imagine

[vernal oracle]

If you sabtoge it stops?

THAT WOULD BE A POWER MOVE

CAUSE NO ONE CAN DO ANYTHING

CAUSE YOU SABOTUGED IT

[hazy pivot]

It's already in

[vernal oracle]

its already in as if what? @hazy pivot

[ocean cypress]

its already in as in the ability to sabotage the shuttle has already been added

[vernal oracle]

Yeah

If you sabotage the shuttle it should stop

While the duck is in

They can murder em

But you need to be smart though

[ocean cypress]

... yes thats why its already in the game haha

[wide sail]

Please allow more than one fart to be used in game, perhaps using the numbers 1-4. This way, Run could be used by pressing 1, Sus by 2, etc.

[gentle sluice]

^^

[shy cosmos]

What about adding a feature which lets the ghosts to mute the alive players so they can speak to eachother?

[hazy pivot]

Like you can spook players?

That's not a bad idea

Put that in roles

[frigid sparrow]

Lol not what he was suggesting I think

[frigid sparrow]

You mean in meetings?

[shy cosmos]

No when the game is going you can still hear the people speaking but meetings are way suitable for that when I just think once again

[granite wave]

some sort of poltergeist thing would be hilarious

[gentle sluice]

Can't recall if this has been raised or not, but please can we have volume controls for individual players, (some have super hot mics, and in full lobbies it can be chaotic) Plus a hot key for deafen all ( like how M and T relate to your personal audio) would be great for streaming, so you can address your chat/stream without going to the main audio settings to use the slider ....

[hazy pivot]

Something we will look in to

[gentle sluice]

idea: progress bar for achievements, ie how far into 500 kills we are through - ie 164/500 kills

[hazy pivot]

Already on there

🙂

[gentle sluice]

cool cool, we were just talking about .

[tidal palm]

I haven't seen this and I don't know if it was mentioned before (this doesn't necessarily apply to me) but I was thinking about adding a colour blind mode or something since I noticed some of the tasks are colour based, like the wires one? Like adding shapes to the wire ends

[hazy pivot]

2 of our developers are colorblind; so we try to snap an array of colors for these tasks. Many of the ones that rely specifically on it can be refreshed to get a better palette - we will add symbols to them later

[tidal palm]

Cool sounds great

[wintry drift]

@tidal palm my got symbol on to help me cause im colourblind in one eye

[late spear]

any way we can up the tasks to more than 8 🙂

[hazy pivot]

We would love to but we want to prevent material farming games from appearing in the future

[uneven gazelle]

I would love to see some twitch integration later on. No clue how it would work. Maybe when someone donated bits thru a extension it plays a noise through your mic in game. Even if it's muted. So say I set my file to be, "I am duck". Someone could donate bits and that noise would play.

[vernal oracle]

LOL

THAT WOULD BE COOL

or you can set up channel points too!

[hazy pivot]

We can't have real life money affect any part of the game. This is truly unfair to the players.

[vernal oracle]

But you can set the custom sonds

Like; ITS YOU or something

You should add kind of feature!

I understand you want money to be no part

[ocean cypress]

When it comes to twitch integrations we can implement drops of in-game currency, materials, cosmetics. We are also looking into ways your channel can interact with current game (i.e. break tie votes) if the game host enables those features.
We are not going to integrate anything that requires additional currency.
YOU can set up events that trigger on YOUR stream for donations, bits, channel points to YOUR channel but those won't be associated with Gaggle. That functionality is already out there.

[strange gyro]

But then how would you get that lambo? Jk jk

[hazy pivot]

@strange gyro haha

[hazy pivot]

Victorian England Map - We're doodling pathwayz

[floral aspen]

is there going to be an option to switch maps with out leaving lobby and creating a new one?

[ocean cypress]

yes that feature is in the works!

[gaunt temple]

Allow you to assign the host to another player if the original host has to leave and the others want to keep playing.

[gaunt temple]

Need chat notifications for people not in voice, like a number or a sound. Otherwise people communicating over voice don't realize or forget that someone's typing in the chat.

[hazy pivot]

These are already in the game. Both a visual mark and sound effect play to notify you. Make sure your sound effects are on.

[strange gyro]

Would be nice to clear chat box every game OR have something (ie: bot that says "NEW GAME" or visual like --------------- ) to indicate new game chat. It gets confusing when old game chat shows in the new game.

[hazy pivot]

This is a good idea

[floral aspen]

the vigilante should get at least 2 kills per game instead of one... reason because if your playing a 16 player game with 3 ducks. its kind of sucks if Vig only gets one shot...

or be able to change in lobby settiings how many kills or cool down they have

[hazy pivot]

^^^ There are more powerful and advanced player roles coming soon. One of which is the sheriff who can kill multiple times but will die instantly if they kill a goose.
The Vigilante isn't designed to go around murdering people. It's to tip the balance of power in the goose favor. With more players in the game, the chance of getting randomly murdered before you use your ability is more or less lower.

Using the Vigilante is about patience.

[floral aspen]

that's understandable

[untold creek]

is it possible to have an the old dial up sound when resetting the computer.. just thinking about it puts me in PTSD mode .. and the sound can be heard as a "visual" tasks.. LOL

[hazy pivot]

But the geese never discovered dial-up.

[strange gyro]

Resetting the computer is triggering enough as it is for those of us with shitty computers. I vote no dial-up on top of that 😂

[stone smelt]

g o o s e

[hazy pivot]

@obtuse lantern Made a great explanation video on all the current features in Goose Goose Duck! He's also a streamer so be sure to check out him and his friends while they murder one another.
https://youtu.be/i9M-cpwwiIU

[obtuse lantern]

Thanks @hazy pivot we had a blast on Thursday. Been spreading the word far and wide.

[obtuse lantern]

So some ideas from me and some of my regular players, a discussion overtime button. Once per player per game they could hit "Overtime" to extend the timer on discussion/voting. 2nd Idea. Allowing to Save game settings and switch between your presets.

[hazy pivot]

I think we can make a politician role to gamify it a bit. If they are alive they can "overtime" the voting.

I will have to look in how easy presets would be. Shouldn't be impossible but it would be later end of the feature list if I am being honest.

[obtuse lantern]

Cool, just ideas some of my community kicked around. more to come

[rose thunder]

sword kill animation to go with our suit of armor? wishful thinking for my nerdy ass

[hazy pivot]

^^ We will introduce this when we do a medieval theme map pack

[half gate]

so is the steam release today?

[gentle sluice]

Yes, 10am-ish EST

[marsh loom]

i crash and the game ban me

ssioporco

[hazy pivot]

^^^ This should be temporary, we will reduce the time limit.

[vagrant smelt]

Add Steam Trading Cards, could be neat :3

[elder nacelle]

Add a Death Stinger that is Pandora's Box! 😄

[quasi pecan]

rebindable keys

please

[hazy pivot]

WIll release soon likely with/before final release version this month

[wintry violet]

as a dead goose have the options to zoom out to see whole map and see where everyone is. so you can talk to stream and watch at the same time with out moving and looking around

[hazy pivot]

^ we could enable streamer mode when your tasks are done

this is something that might be worth looking into

[wintry violet]

yessss

[vocal surge]

make a duck role that makes geese into ducks

[gentle sluice]

New Achievement - for turning up the bass multiple times. @ocean cypress

[proper crater]

glad im not the only one who caught that!

[elder nacelle]

Do a mythology based map! It can be Mt. Olympus or something!

[frigid sparrow]

you really like your greek mythology

[elder nacelle]

I do 🙂

I was inspired by @ocean cypress talking about the London map that is in process!

[frigid sparrow]

😄

[tropic zinc]

A couple of thoughts on achievements:

1. first time win as Dodo achievement (seems like an easy one)
2. Win the game with a Vigilante kill

[hazy pivot]

^^^ This is kinda cool, we can add these for sure

@sand egret what do you think?

[sand egret]

Personally I agree I think we can do so much more with the achievement system and custom roles are going to be a big part of it. Another one would be morphing and you get an achievement for killing the player you morphed into or something like that

[hazy pivot]

Yeah these are great! We should create a log of these things.

[tall sail]

y'all think we can get proximity chat in public match

[hazy pivot]

Unfortunately the internet is a dangerous place for kids and we need to make sure that public games offer a safe space for people under the age of 18. Because of this we won't be introducing voice chat in public games. If players congregate and build their own private communities they can govern who they play with.

This is so important for us, especially a free to play game.

[obtuse lantern]

can we enable that the game remembers your last used game settings

[hazy pivot]

@muted pasture @sand egret ^^ We should store the hosts last known played game that they set

[sand egret]

Yes that's a really helpful feature, adding it to the list 👍

[winged coral]

Not sure how hard it is to integrate but Twitch login similar to Jackbox? Locks in Twitch usernames for streams.

[frigid sparrow]

I think we could do something like this, you mean for nickname?

[winged coral]

Yes, so streamers know who's playing with them

[novel crescent]

Ability to save settings configuration and load them would be sweet too

[hazy pivot]

This was just suggested above. Definitely something we like.

[gentle sluice]

There's a request under feedback to be able to switch into Duck Roles when in Map Exploring to learn about ducky things.

[still flume]

Have a way to keep the setting for the lobby after leaving a lobby. Basically saving customs

[granite wave]

change game name to among goose

[simple bramble]

put invisible walls in the outside of the maps, as a ghost i was able to get outside of the map tab

[hazy pivot]

We're ok with it for now

[winged coral]

When prox chat is off could we have the option to turn on ghost voice chat?

[static dome]

can someone pls tell me how to get these currencies? I'm new and have neither

[late spear]

gold u can earn through achievements or buy with actual money. silver play games and such.

[snow nymph]

Less servers, so it would be easier to find games/rooms

[static dome]

ok thanks

[jaunty wasp]

or at least a way to see servers with the most active rooms while the game is still not active enough to fill the servers

cos once it grows a bit having this many servers will be useful

[snow nymph]

Yea

[winged coral]

Hey had a streamer ask about if they could possibly change the PTT button

[proud gust]

Hello beautiful people! Very excited to see how this game evolves. For streamers is there a possible way to "deafen" chat during meetings? as sometimes meetings can be used as a way to interact with chat (same way as toggling mute). Cheers !

[hazy pivot]

We are working on this as we speak

This will be a toggle button

[dire dawn]

I have oine ideas, its to add more graphic option for low pc.

[strange gyro]

Is there a way to ping mods and/or gaggle people as a group (ie: @mods or @gaggle) instead of having to reach out to specific individuals for issues one might notice in the duckscord? For example: offensive language.

[ocean cypress]

Instead of pinging individuals, you can ping @ Community Moderators or @ Gaggle Managers

[strange gyro]

Ty. Couldn’t find the right combo I guess then. 🤷‍♀️ (How do I technology 🙃)

[hazy pivot]

https://tenor.com/view/hello-old-people-computer-technology-biff-gif-12085559

🙂 We're gonna' do our best to be on top of it but you're right @strange gyro we might miss stuff.

[strange gyro]

Too real 😂

[blazing solstice]

When lights are sabotaged geese switch to flashlight mode, just an idea not sure if it will work out

[hazy pivot]

&& We can definitely do this as an option

what if you "find" a flashlight?

[blazing solstice]

yeh that could work as well, and maybe being able to convert silver coins to gold coins, for example 200 silver coins = 1 Gold and vice versa

[hazy pivot]

This will likely not happen. We want to put some cosmetics behind a paywall. Being 100% transparent, it is the only way we would be able to afford to make the entire game free and pay for voice chat hosting.

[jaunty wasp]

can we maybe get more hat cosmetics for silver coins then? I dont mind them costing a lot of silver but it'd be nice to have some simple headgear like flower crowns or eye glasses available

[hazy pivot]

Unfortunately pets and hats will always cost gold; sometimes they may be crafted with materials that you earn while playing.

[jaunty wasp]

okay

[steep dune]

ni

lets go may 2nd

first

[static dome]

im just happy that u can get some cosmetics without paying money

[jaunty wasp]

honestly same

i like having somethin to save up for

and work towards

[sand egret]

Yeah i think game progression is something among us lacked, so we wanted to act on that. Also cosmetics look cool to wear 😎

[supple orchid]

I think it would be cool if there was special items for early players

[sand egret]

That's definitely something we thought of doing! We'll hopefully be adding them soon

[tropic crown]

Be able to launch at 4 players, the hide and seek can be played at 4 for my opinion and it's frustrating to bother to find a 5th player

[hazy pivot]

^^ This is something we can definitely look into. I agree that on Black Swan it might make sense

[tropic crown]

Nice!

[hazy pivot]

@sand egret ^^ How difficult is this to change?

@sand egret built the part of the game that does checks before a start.

[sand egret]

shouldn't be hard at all actually, i can change it right now

it'll be in the next update

[hazy pivot]

Awesome, I'll add it to trello

@tropic crown looks like its in

[tropic crown]

That was fast 👀

Thank's

[sand egret]

No prob!

[gentle sluice]

I love how engaged the gaggle dev team is!

[drifting barn]

I'd love to see a map that looks like a park with refernces to the almighty untitled goose game. Taskss could be ruin picnic, swim in river, chase children and other goosy things

[hazy pivot]

Why would geese be at a park 😋 ? Its a cool idea... Definitely one we may consider.

[twin hornet]

pls upload the menu theme on yt or smthing cuz that beat is jamming xD

[granite wave]

They should definitely make friends in this game

[tawny cradle]

can u guys create an FB gaming page so the game can be tagged as playing "goose goose duck". or Gaggle.Fun, cause i've been tagging "Among..." HAHAHA

[granite wave]

IKR I was trying to find it on spotify

[granite wave]

Hi guys, it would bei cool if we can get a Twitch drops where we get a pet with the Twitch Logo @ivory locust

[hazy pivot]

@granite wave we do not own the rights to sell/make the twitch logo.

[low yarrow]

an option to force push-to-talk for the lobby would be very helpful for certain situations

[ocean cypress]

you will soon be able to adjust individuals volume levels so should relieve these "certain situations"

[low yarrow]

some of them certainly

[uneven minnow]

i think that the option to toggle between controlling with mouse and controlling with wsad would be good

just kinda irks me

and possibly key binds too

[low yarrow]

also buttons should not be mouse-transparent

[granite wave]

so this is pretty poggers

[nocturne walrus]

please add pl text channel

for Poland

[hazy pivot]

@nocturne walrus ok We will!

[nocturne walrus]

thx

[granite wave]

Have it so ghosts can talk to each other during a comms sabotage.

[steady plover]

and hear the alive players

[hazy pivot]

This gets confusing, you'll end up hearing everyone 😦

[granite wave]

Le poggers

[jaunty wasp]

The ability to join lobbies while they're in progress and spectate until a new game starts would be cool so you can find lobbies easier and not have to try catch them in between rounds.

[hazy pivot]

^^ This will not be a problem as our player base grows

Our player base is growing fast every day, letting people join as spectators is a bit more complicated than it seems on the surface.

[jaunty wasp]

yeah thats fair

[late crater]

@ocean cypress im ready to be partnerd my boy

@hazy pivot how do u get game moderator

[hazy pivot]

Show exemplary behavior, professional demeanor, understand game inside and out.

If we notice this we will reach out.

[cobalt flare]

I would love to see a rubber duck (or goose) in the shower area, maybe in the clear the drain task!

[gentle sluice]

Or one in the pond ...

[granite wave]

im wondering will the ghost chat be added?

[late spear]

ghosts do have chat

[granite wave]

while not in meeting?

[late spear]

in meeting ghosts have to text. when not in meeting they have vc. the vc is private lobby.

[granite wave]

oh ok i only played public

[late spear]

we have a lobby open rn

[undone prawn]

Hello!

[cobalt void]

Would allowing sabotages while moving be an option? It feels super clunky to have to idle while calling a sabotage.

[hazy pivot]

^^ We did have this and it made it way too powerful for the ducks.

We decided to take it out for now to see how the game is balanced. This forces the duck to strategically call sabotages at opportune moments.

[ivory locust]

^this

[hazy pivot]

Without this in new player games its just sabotage after sabotage without reprecussion. It really slows down the game and makes it feel more like a panic simulator.

[spring yacht]

localization maybe? for the menu atleast

i dont know if it already got suggested and stuff

(for the localization, unity's localization system could be used)

[granite wave]

maybe make it an option ingame to allow movement or nah?

[low yarrow]

Can you remove or ignore spaces in the room code field, copying from Discord and Twitch chat often includes extra spaces in front of or behind that the system doesn't like.

[spring yacht]

oh also maybe add a small resolution dropdown... maybe

[frank night]

Maybe add a adjustable timer of some sort to the classic maps some sort of ship crashing event that can't be fixed? I've noticed with bigger groups the games can sometime last a lot longer and although I know you are adding something for ghosts to do, I feel it would force the ducks to kill or Geese to do their tasks. In this case no one would win.

[hazy pivot]

Stalemate timer?

[frank night]

kind of like that, just forces ghosts and geese to do tasks and ducks to kill. Sometimes when i'm in big games and get killed first i'm sitting there for 20 minutes or so while everyone blames each other while i'm shouting at the screen it was them!

[dense apex]

I'm new here, did someone alreay tell you something about playing the game in window and not full screen?

[frank night]

You can play in windowed mode by hitting alt + enter if that is what you are asking

[granite wave]

in the quit application button instead of a honking goose change it to a sad goose haha

[ivory locust]

@dense apex ALT+Enter will put the game in windowed mode.

[dense apex]

magic

ty

[dense apex]

bit can i choose the dimension?

because it's like full screen

[hazy pivot]

Not yet, we will have fullscreen feature soon.

[shy oriole]

Have a task where you need to look up something on the computer, but it's gaagle.com.... x')

[hazy pivot]

gaggle.fun

🙂

[ivory locust]

What's a gaagle.com? lol

[shy oriole]

Just a play on words, bc I have bad humor? xP

[ivory locust]

i know.. i'm just messing around @shy oriole

[paper cradle]

mini games for when tasks are done

[floral aspen]

you guys should have a discord channel that informs people who has GGD drops and when they go live.... idea, maybe.

[ocean cypress]

#829421328502095943 or check out https://www.twitch.tv/directory/game/Goose Goose Duck and keep an eye out for the Drops Enabled Tag

[zenith raven]

A sound before the voting timer ends like a countdown or something because so many votes have been missed because people didn't realize it was ending

[hazy pivot]

There is a countdown sound (the music track indicates time is running out)

[zenith raven]

Ah I play with low music and play my own that's probably why I've never noticed 😅

[tacit spindle]

Maybe make a way where you can toggle off the duck following the mouse when you click.

[hazy pivot]

We have specific controls available in our next patch

[tacit spindle]

Yay

[winged coral]

Can there be a timer warning ding for the vote timer that is part of the sound effects and not the BGM? A lot of people have BGM off.

[hazy pivot]

I will look into it

[winged coral]

Do you think there would be a way to have a button that pulls up the current game settings? The questions I hear a lot are what roles are enabled, what is kill cooldown etc.

[hazy pivot]

Yes

[hearty plank]

Could it be possible for one Duck to have multiple properties in future, such as Cannibal and Morphing, to make more tense 16 player games where there is only one Duck, but one very dangerous Duck?

[rich flower]

MVG for a group that plays together after say 10 games everyone could vote for 1 player from the group as Most Valuable Goose. They could then get a crown(or some other cosmetic type thing) that would last for like 2 games if they keep playing, it gets removed after or if they leave the game.

Goose Father maybe separate or could be tied to last idea, but the Goose Father can select 1role or select one other goose to have the bounty placed on them.

[hazy pivot]

We can definitely make more dangerous ducks. We have plans for a ninja duck that can do quite a bit more damage than a regular one.

[hearty plank]

Cool! Although it generally leaves people feeling like they have no chance of being a Duck, I enjoy 16 player 1 Duck rounds because it really rubs in the whole "trust no-one" with a bigger crew and only one murderer to try and get rid of. A more dangerous Duck makes it more tense for both parties.

Also, Morphing Duck is awesome.

[icy geode]

Any way to make Prox Chat instead of a cut off border, have a fade in fade out by distance?

[shy oriole]

Achievement for x rounds around the pc in dropship...

Not that we're not all circling it anyway.... x)

[hazy pivot]

Yes there is definitely a way to do this. It's a little more expensive on CPU so we want to make sure we get the game as optimized as possible before doing this.

[icy geode]

totally get that, that would be awesome though

[pure rivet]

I was thinking instead of cutoff or fade out you could do a lower volume for people that are in the next room. Or make it kind of fuzzy (like listening through a wall)

[steep dune]

https://tenor.com/view/national-spaghetti-day-national-spaghetti-day-hungry-gif-7317183

[wintry drift]

shawn i was thinking you know the two map what if you combined them together to make the mega map

[hazy pivot]

Map size matters quite a lot. Bigger does not equal better.

[dim ice]

This is definitely something that threw me off when I was playing and did end up getting me caught really early on, since you can move with your map but not the sabotages.

[hazy pivot]

^^^ Moving with sabotage open is terribly overpowered.

[ivory locust]

Personally, I feel like sabotages should be used strategically rather than literally on-the-run.

[granite wave]

also the sabotages can sometimes be long to do so i guess aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaalexxxxx is right

[ivory locust]

No, you!

[cobalt void]

Would it be plausible to allocate an additional task area for each sabotage and have it randomly selected each game? It kind of makes it a little easy to focus on people who go to the singular task that corresponds to lights/reactor/etc.

[tender mural]

One idea I had was a 'shirt' outfit that was the goose holding/riding one of those sticks with the plush horse head. Would go well with the skull helmet to do a whole death on a pale horse theme.

[gentle sluice]

Oooh. That’s an interesting twist! — if randomly assigned cams or intercom you can’t trust hard clearing anyone when visuals are off ...

[gentle sluice]

pop this in #🎩︱cosmetic-ideas ,

[hearty plank]

While we can use Sabotage in vents, can Morpher ducks morph?

Actually, since Morph and Vent are on the same button, can Morphers even vent?

[shy oriole]

Morphling can not vent 🙂

[vocal surge]

mirrored maps option

[granite wave]

better yet upside down hahaha

or just both together

would be super confusing

even tasks should be mirrored

[vocal surge]

ya flip it all over haha

[granite wave]

didn’t mean to delete that

meant to edit

[ivory locust]

Time to stir up the pot.
YOU ARE A DODO. Everyone knows you're a dodo, so there's no way you're winning. Do you side with the ducks or geese? Why?

[ocean cypress]

Why would you side with a team? I would recreate that fan art. "I just want to be spaaaaaaaced"

[hazy pivot]

Dodo holding a crown - "The Kingmaker"

[ivory locust]

In a 3 person voting screen where there's a dodo alive, the dodo has the power.. if they're a known dodo. They can cause a 3 way tie (usually a duck win) or they can choose to vote either side. So they are basically in control of who wins.

This is in the wrong channel. Oops.

[strange gyro]

This was the motivation behind my idea of the dodo having the option to “pick up” a rubber duck to join the duck team if they so choose to become a hidden duck. Whether they disclose this or not to anyone is up to them

[ivory locust]

I'll see myself out

[granite wave]

a journal u can right in every geese has one, a detective role (if implemented) can see the dead body's journal.

[midnight juniper]

we should have a birthday fart

[red egret]

MAKE A BIRTHDAY FART PLSSSS

[hazy pivot]

^^^ ok

@ivory plaza do it nao

[ivory plaza]

[ocean cypress]

Aaaaaaaaaalexxx bday month is half over

[gentle sluice]

[sage carbon]

but the birthday year has just started

[modern sigil]

can we get the mute indicator on like the transition/changing screen? well basically at all times. I noticed that we can mute and unmute while on the win screen, etc etc.

[shy dune]

@hazy pivot is there gonna be a option to use a controller my viewers can't use a keyboard do to a disability

[ivory locust]

Herbert ain't lyin'!

[ivory locust]

What if there was a hidden item that one player (any role) could pick up that could save them from an environmental kill?

[vocal surge]

an achievement where you have to charge the battery like 10 consecutive times without dying or being interrupted lmao

[honest parcel]

Environmental kills that can be used by geese or ducks (so geese could kill a duck without knowing) potentially needing 2 people to lower chance of trolls

[gentle sluice]

Possible idea -- to discourage grouping in final moments, how about more than 2 people with tasks completed stay in the same area/stand still then one of their tasks breaks and they need to re-do it or if task-completed camp the cameras for longer than XX seconds then a random task from any goosey/duck player (dead or alive) breaks.....

[hazy pivot]

We can do a tasks to be added mode

If you finish your tasks a new task is added every 30s-1min

[fickle abyss]

maybe a sabotage option for a Duck that only becomes available after a certain amount of time has passed for a goose with all tasks completed that adds a task to same goose?

requires active engagement from the duck(s) and with a sufficiently long timer would prevent abuse

maybe only for living goose targets

[gentle sluice]

that sounds like a great resolution to discourage camping/grouping

[fickle abyss]

maybe only if you spend time near another living player

[hazy pivot]

Another one is that after a meeting is called (emergency meeting) if you had tasks completed you get a new one

This prevents people from spamming emergency meetings

AND grouping all in one

This fundamentally changes the game - even affects ghosts too

[fickle abyss]

I really like that option

[shy oriole]

Actually yes!

[fickle abyss]

and gives a duck the option to stretch things if they've not popped their meeting yet

"Was the meeting called to force us to separate? Was it called for legitimate reasons?"

[gentle sluice]

that sounds like it's the one!

[fickle abyss]

"Is the dodo trying to make us think he's a duck by calling a meeting?"

[gentle sluice]

seen so many plays in THAT game, where they play call lights, fix lights, call meeting - so adding actual game play is more appealing than sab, meeting, sab, meeting

[hazy pivot]

Ok so the team is talking about this right now and we're all on board that this would CHANGE the game fundamentally

We are trying to understand if it would make the game better

[fickle abyss]

Once you get down to 3 geese and 1 duck, it can often become very hard to win as a duck if one or more of the geese have tasks fully completed as a general rule, because clumping becomes a common thing unless a gentlemen's agreement is in place to not clump up. Even a pairing of ducks can make it incredibly difficult, since 1 kill and the two who were together know the only surviving person is the duck.

[gentle sluice]

maybe as an advanced mode option? Our crew are often making a conscious decision to not camp or group to "give the ducks a chance" so we just wander around the map leaving people alone. if there was some kind of refresh timer that started XXsecs/Xmins after completed list, then we would be required by game play not to group when tasks are "done". some players are just sitting in cargo self selecting for enviro kill because they are "done with tasks."..

[fickle abyss]

an option would be good, since I can see groups who wouldn't want that

[cobalt void]

I don't personally have issues with grouping as I think careful Duck play can work around it a lot of times

But I do notice that some less experienced ducks have issues with it

I think part of what makes this game good is that ducks have to be deceptive and learning to gain trust of the geese for the final votes if you're in a 1v3/4 situation is something people will learn.

Killing well is important but the social deception to me is ultimately what drives the fun

[hazy pivot]

What about the option of a self destruct mode

games have a timer - timer hits zero ship explodes

[gentle sluice]

Absolutely groups can be picked off - i'm thinking of another layer for months down the track, when you're incredibly familiar with how your fellow feathered friends

[hazy pivot]

ghosts can slow down the timer a BIT by doing randomly spawned tasks

[cobalt void]

I don't think having timed games is the solution.

I agree games can slow to a halt at the end though, especially if one person is holding tasks

[fickle abyss]

or they are newer to the game and are figuring tasks out for the first time

or newer to gaming in general

[cobalt void]

Yeah, people you play with definitely have tells and whatnot but switching up playstyles and double mind gaming exist as well. It kind of becomes a matter of actually reading other players

I guess ultimately it doesn't hurt adding additional tasks after a meeting as an option though

I'm all for options

Customization in play experience is very good

[gentle sluice]

yes, but we are 5 weeks in, and already know many tells, and already swapping our plays around, so some kind of enforced you must go do tasks, rather than okay i'm going for a walk now... feel free to kill me, would more enjoyable when playing with regular crew --

(as an advanced option)

[cobalt void]

More tasks after a meeting would be better than a timed game option imo

[hazy pivot]

^^^ @cobalt void we found a number of ways the game breaks

we likely wont do this, we're actually talking about this as we speak

[cobalt void]

Yeah, I mean the game is never going to be able to be fully balanced competitively, I don't think but it's a great and engaging social game

You could play ultra sweaty and tell everyone to always meet up in one spot while one person goes off for tasks or etc

[hazy pivot]

@cobalt void I have to disagree with this statemenet: I think there is a way to fully balance a game. We're very early in the genre and I think a lot more can be done to make the game work.

[cobalt void]

I mean, I think you could achieve something close but if people were truly tryhard I don't think it would be plausible but I'm down to see it happen

[fickle abyss]

my social group doesn't play in tryhard-super-sweat mode, but still end up in 1v3 scenarios that will be very difficult to win unless the 3 make really bad choices due to inebriation/tiredness/etc if even one of them has their tasks fully completed. Even sabotages can't break that up all the time.

once clumping starts...

[hazy pivot]

proximity chat introduced clumping to a higher degree

[fickle abyss]

it's fun to talk!

[lucid plaza]

Not sure if this has been suggested already, or is already known but here it is.

Nothing wrong with the ability to make the 'fart' noise during gameplay, but is it possible to have the ability for the host to turn them off.

Because even though it can be fun at times, it can turn off potential new players and become annoying and obnoxious.

[fickle abyss]

Isn't this already in the options?

[cobalt void]

You can individually turn off the sound.

[ocean cypress]

There is a "silent but deadly" option already built in on your settings panel. You don't hear farts

[lucid plaza]

Alright.

[frank night]

How about a decaying body for killed Geese, so they will eventually disappear after a minute or two

This would be a visual thing too, so we can describe how deteriorated the body is

[hazy pivot]

^^^ Bodies that decay is an awesome idea

[gentle sluice]

agree - like that a lot

[potent remnant]

It is

Like five minutes after it hasn’t been reported it is just left as a pile of bones they don’t know who it is but they know it’s dead

And it decays at slow intervals

Like mild decay where only sections are rotting the decay where like half is gone then severe decay where it’s barely recognizable then decayed where it is simply a pile of bones

Then**

[gentle sluice]

all that's left is a wishbone..

[potent remnant]

That makes it kinda seem like a sad moment where someone in a video game like a beloved character dies and leaves a wish bone for the main character to make one final wish

Make a starwars joke achievement for maybe clothing and name it you are the father with the achievement by becoming the father in the incubate task

[meager elm]

hauntings to sabotage your killer?

[vocal surge]

-having a hide player names option? could be fun especially if everyone wants to dress in the same stuff

-special crafting material you could collect from kills might be interesting

[ivory locust]

there's talk of a game mode that's going to force players to call eachother by name. If I remember correctly everyone is named with pronouns and such (me, you, him, her...etc)

[wide topaz]

Create a load and save button for changes in the game mode menu

[hazy pivot]

^^^ This is a bit bigger issue than it seems on the surface, we will look into this for final release 🙂

A gambling function for silver....

Ghosts could maybe gamble for who wins, geese, ducks or dodo,.

Or a gambler role, that has to make a bet (after the first meeting?)

[soft vigil]

you should put it on phone

[shy oriole]

It's coming to mobile very very soon!!

[gentle sluice]

Hiya. iOS is due out this month and android shortly after. All developed platforms will have have access to the same gaggle account so you can access your cosmetics, achievements and in-game currency to swap between playing on mobile/tablet or pC - follow #816356997564727367 for notification on when each stage is available 🙂

[hazy pivot]

Pending Apple ^^^ We're pretty much done and waiting at this point for iOS

[granite wave]

make the sabotages tasks a thing to be used in explore so that new people can see how the sabotages are done

[mellow iris]

I kind of like the idea of having like a little arcade room where you can practice tasks or some such

[granite wave]

there is the explorer feature that gives u every task a goose can have i was just asking for the sabotages tasks to be also added cuz some people dont know how to make it but thanks for the support :)

[old charm]

can you add an option to ban people from lobbies, people kept joining mine and spamming slurs

[hazy pivot]

the new patch is about to drop today

once kicked they will not be able to rejoin

this might be in the next hour

please report them

We have issued a number of bans for bad behavior

[cobalt void]

Since Discord seems to be such an integral part of creating private lobbies is there any research being done into how to make the game connected to Discord where people can post a link to Discord and if they have their game account connected it'll automatically join the lobby linked?

[hazy pivot]

We are going to try to integrate friends lists in the game at some point. The entire process should be removed from discord at some point.

[marble slate]

New setting to let the person who reported have the first 10 seconds of any meeting to explain where the body was and any sus. Everyone else should be muted so they have a higher chance of listening.

[hazy pivot]

^^^ We've already entertained this and it's high on the list. We call it the talking stick mode

[granite wave]

i always type where body was in chat cuz my mic is low and barely everyone can hear me and everyone insta talks

also i think it would be cool to announce new twitch drops in the game wouldn’t that be better?

[cobalt void]

There's an option in lobby to hide codes for streamers but when you're inputting it in the find games there isn't an option there, right? Seems like it might be useful to have some way to hide the code there.

[hazy pivot]

You know what? That is going to the top of the list. That's straight up BS. We should make your card appear with a chat icon and symbology that shows you're communicating without speech.

[burnt helm]

Maybe like a ... speech bubble indicating you're typing?

[hazy pivot]

We can do something visual for sure

[burnt helm]

I've played a couple games with people who don't have mics, but never saw anyone kicked for it

Not that I doubt it.

[granite wave]

Ah, this would also be handy for people who are unable to speak. Not like "I don't have a mic" but people actually unable of speach.

[burnt helm]

@solid spoke I understand, my sister's SO is deaf, and gets the same treatment, even tho she's one of the most independent and capable women I know! Lol

[eternal badge]

why I cant moving after sabotage something? (macos, m1)

[hazy pivot]

Hardy can you post this in bug reports

[rain karma]

I think if dead people could hear alive people that would be cools

[hazy pivot]

@rain karma we actually had this and it was driving people literally mad. You can't know who is talking to you or the context of multiple conversations happening independently of one another all at once

On paper, great idea, in reality... schizophrenia.

[rain karma]

Maybe only in proximity ?

I just feel like when I’m a dead goose I’m like WHAT ARE THEY SAYING

😂

[hazy pivot]

Yeah we get the feeling too. We turned it on and it was NOISY and headache enducing. Even with proximity as ghosts go over walls.

[rain karma]

Mmm I see.

Maybe a setting to turn it on or off?

[hazy pivot]

We are always looking into ways of doing it. We can visit this in the future for sure.

[rain karma]

Thanks for taking the time to hear it out!

Love the game so far

[hazy pivot]

Its on our radar.

<3

[marble slate]

This is a bit of a weird one but I was just looking at all of the socials for gaggle and noticed they are all smaller than the twitch which means that the twitch drops are working. I was wondering if you guys have looked into doing some sort of integration for following the other socials of the game. Something like if you follow us on Twitter for a Twitter skin or reddit for a reddit skin just to beef up the socials a bit. I know that this integration is possible as I've seen websites like gleam verify you follow someone for giveaway entries just don't know how feasible or easy this is.

[hazy pivot]

It's definitely possible but we're a small team and we're focused on content right now.

These things slow down studios and distract from what was really important in the first place; making great games and content.

We will get to them later 🙂

[untold creek]

Choji and myself thought of a task in the left side of the cafeteria on the white board. I thought of a grocery list to put item in their category like food/cleaning and she even said maybe a white board were you have to erase it

[hazy pivot]

If we can do this with symbols it would be better. We will likely do that in a bit.

[untold creek]

cool yes symbols would be better.

[late spear]

to add to it...beer pong on black swan? 😄

[hazy pivot]

It would be water pong

[rain karma]

Idk if this has been suggested as well but voice overlay in game?

[hazy pivot]

Can you explain?

[rain karma]

So you can see who’s speaking like which name? I was getting confused playing mixing up peoples voices

[hazy pivot]

This will limit in game roles that we have intended to release in upcoming patches. We can look into a way of indicating. In the lobby the names do highlight yellow.

[rain karma]

Oooh I see! Okay thank you!

[marble slate]

fart execution.

[muted whale]

hello

[plush sedge]

@ivory plaza I a really cool idea for this game would be to have a drop down menu of daily tasks or missions that you can complete to earn extra silver and then once you complete the 3 side missions for the silver a 4th slot opens up to earn 1 gold coin for the day so that it keeps the grind going! Also this game is damn good lol

Also a really cool kill animation that you could add is using the samurai sword the duck slices or dices the goose up or in quote "cut his head off"

[granite wave]

Perhaps add a button when folks click "quit application" that says "Are you sure?" with a "Yes or No" button beneath it.

I just accidentally clicked "quit the application" and yeah

[muted whale]

thats a large oof

[willow condor]

an idea i have is to add a feature that saves the presets of a game, because setting it up every time can get annoying annoying

[sand egret]

Yeah that's actually on our list ready, we hope to get it done soon!

[wide topaz]

An idea, when people get vented out to space in storage, can they have ice crystals form around their body when they are floating in space.

[hazy pivot]

This actually doesn't happen in real life. <<< Aerospace Engineer

We want to keep the game as close to real life as possible.

@sand egret put it in this morning and it will be in our next update

[narrow briar]

just an idea, maybe a text death chat that they can use throughout the game if dead?

[hazy pivot]

Outside of the meeting spaces?

[narrow briar]

yes

[gentle sluice]

Typing instead of focussing on tasks???

[narrow briar]

well, when you put it that way

[gentle sluice]

maybe it could be activated when all your tasks are done .....

[hazy pivot]

Yeah

[muted whale]

hey what if you made it to where certain times during the week or the weekends there is like double or triple silver coins for every game

[hazy pivot]

We have the ability to do that

[muted whale]

thatd b lit

i was gonna say itd be cool if we could see roles after we died, but that would make medium over powered

[fickle abyss]

I had a pretty awesome game the other night where I lucked out in that the kill I made with people watching was against the vigilante, and passed it off as me being the vigilante and accidentally tapping the button on my keyboard

medium being able to see that would have killed that play

[lucid plaza]

Not sure if this has been mentioned already, but add the ability for us to edit which key push to talk should be for proximity chat.

[hazy pivot]

Key binding coming soon :)

[jovial oar]

add some animated emojis

like dying goose and stufff

[wide topaz]

@hazy pivot Hey Shawn, i don't know if this came across the table but death comms., like in Call of Duty. When you kill you can hear the last 3 to 4 secs before they go off to goose heaven LMBO

[hazy pivot]

^ This hasn't been reported yet,

Is it consistent

[ivory locust]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but this is more so a game idea rather than a bug report.

[mellow iris]

that's what i was thinking

[wide topaz]

correct a game idea

[wide topaz]

Its a game idea. Not a bug report.

[hazy pivot]

Ahh confused

No we can't do this...

This will create situations where information can be revealed

unless you can only hear the person you killed

Is that what you're suggesting?

[wide topaz]

No i mean only the player that kils can hear the player that got killed. is what i mean. SO if i killed someone in game only the i would be the only person to hear what was said after the killed within that time frame.

[gentle sluice]

Asides from some lols, what purpose would hearing them give to game play?

[ivory locust]

It would only work that way otherwise everyone would just announce who their killer is

I think it's specifically for lulz

[hazy pivot]

This would just encourage toxicity I think

[sand egret]

Well for the lols of course

[hazy pivot]

I wonder if streamers would prefer to have their victim be silent

[wide topaz]

awwwwww ok, just an idea. would create some funny and crazy content. you should do a poll and test idk. just a thought. Yes for the LOL.

[hazy pivot]

Its not a bad idea

we have to think about it

[wide topaz]

if it create toxicity then yea i understand.

ok no problem, thanks for taking the time

[ivory locust]

I can see it being both hilarious and toxic .. depending on who's getting killed.

[wide topaz]

^^^lol yea me too

[sand egret]

Yeah honestly I agree I think with the right conditions it's Def gonna be funny and generate a bunch of memorable twitch clips

We will think about it

[hazy pivot]

It's literally one line of code

im looking at it now

[wide topaz]

Other than battle royale games or FPS i haven't seen any other games do that. Especially the ones you created here

[hazy pivot]

@sand egret should we just sneak it in this next patch?

[gentle sluice]

Definitely can see it would add to content creation. Some times the underworld is firey after certain kills

[mellow iris]

XD i think the most commonly heard thing after I get killed would be "son of a fridge licking biscuit monkey"

[hazy pivot]

The only problem I can see is that when someone dies they might want to throw other players under the bus

They can spoil a game with this knowledge

[gentle sluice]

Maybe an Easter egg setting on the computer somewhere?

[hazy pivot]

So it would have to be like 1.5 seconds

max

[sand egret]

Wait but only the duck can hear them. What can a goose spoil to a duck?

[hazy pivot]

It could be a duck

on duck

[sand egret]

Also they wouldn't have any incentive to right or am I missing something
