[mellow iris]

would depend on if blind ducks are on

[hazy pivot]

also vigilante killing another goose

lots of ways to spoil the game

[wide topaz]

nothing other than, why did you kill me when i'm trying to get this achievement lol

[sand egret]

Hmm that's interesting ya it'd be really good for classical games with no other roles tho

[hazy pivot]

ok yeah, this is staying out for now

I am starting to think of a number of things you can say to ruin a game

like "I was dodo"

"I was goose"

or you could lie

[sand egret]

Maybe we add it for goose hunt and hide and seek for now?

[hazy pivot]

yeah goosehunt and hide and seek for sure

[wide topaz]

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh i see, i see what you mean

yea goosehunt or hide and seek would make more since

[gentle sluice]

Duck on duck when blind ducks are on?

[wide topaz]

You dont want a duck to take the role as for them self if that person spoils it, got cha. i wasn't thinking about that.

But the duck on duck is a good idea. Cant spoil nothing LMBO other than you one man down lol

[gentle sluice]

Somewhat. But blind ducks is also about guessing if you have or havent killed a teammate. You know you have from frequent enviro kills or space sabs ...

Goose hunt or hide and seek is a good compromise for content creation. Put the laughter in slaughter!

[hazy pivot]

Makes you wonder why it's not pronounced 'slafter'

[wide topaz]

So being vented out into space in cargo bay was an awesome idea, maybe in future maps you can do something similar with poison gas from reactor or trap someone in weapons and detonate a bomb using the similar mechanics on venting out into space.

[ocean cypress]

third map is going to introduce some new environmental kills

[gentle sluice]

Already frequently thought of - New map has a new environmental kill 🙂

[wide topaz]

Ok last one for the day lol. Goldeneye. If there were ever to be a spy role. Goldeneye should be the name. A 007 James Bond easter egg and its an actual type of duck or goose. Shoot forgot which is which lol

[gentle sluice]

Wanna pop this into #🐣︱classic-role-ideas please

[willow condor]

wait what there are environmental kills?

[ocean cypress]

being ejected into space from cargo bay (though triggered by ducks) we've been calling an environmental kill

[willow condor]

does it happen when they kill someone there or is it by pressing some button?

[mellow iris]

You have to use the sabotage to close the doors, then get to the bridge and pull a lever there

[willow condor]

ok thx, ill try that tommorow

[vocal surge]

"QUACK THE RIPPER"

[wide topaz]

I don’t know if you can do it in this game but an idea is that if a duck or vigilante or sheriff reports a body or try to hit the button you are able to kill at that same moment if time correctly so when the meeting starts they might be dead.

[hazy pivot]

This was specifically requested by most people who stream large amounts of Among us to have not on

we deliberately turned this off

Hmm - Its mostly a biproduct of server race conditions

[pure ore]

let ghosts haunt imposters?

[gentle sluice]

how ... vocally? that could open up some targeted toxicity which we want to keep in check.

[pure ore]

just let them straight up haunt imposters

so they have to keep themselves straight

through a whole bunch of ghosts haunting

[gentle sluice]

so do you mean that the duck can see ghosts just like the medium but limited to their own personal kills?? Sorry, just trying to understand this suggestion further 🙂

[pure ore]

no they cannot see ghosts but they hear echo-ey voices of ghosts

and have to keep their composure so as to not give away that they are the killers

[gentle sluice]

ahh, so like a random track of ghosty noises/screeches?

[pure ore]

yes

[ocean cypress]

we have the ability for slight voice modulation, we might do something with it in the future

[tight iris]

A detective Role?

[gentle sluice]

on the list 🙂

[tight iris]

Would be nice ngl

Or a hitduck

[gentle sluice]

There is a Vigilante, who can make a kill shot once per game

?

[tight iris]

Oh ik

I mean like a hitman role itself for the ducks

[gentle sluice]

sorry i just read you meant for a duck... ducks can kill indiscriminately already .....

how do you feel a hitman duck should behave?

[tight iris]

Like poison certain tasks or just a lil spike on the ground only they can see?

They have a cooldown nd a certain amount

[gentle sluice]

cool-cool -- there are some thoughts similar to this in development 🙂

[tight iris]

Oh thats great to hear

The poison im stuck on like two outcomes

They have a timer to live or they die when in like 2 meetings

[coarse forge]

I'd like to have some hidden elements in the tasks to reward the goose for doing them so that more might actually do them...
F.ex night vision glasses that will extend the view range if you found them?

Or even extra silver coins... or special pets?

[mellow iris]

well you get crafting materials for doing them

and some of the tasks get you achieves as well if conditions are met

[coarse forge]

ah nice!. did see I got something but not sure what they were
But still like the night vision goggles to increase view though 😉

[opaque mauve]

Sabotage vents by farting on them as a Duck to make the Mechanic come out

[coarse forge]

lol... I'd love id that made the Ducks come out too... or at least having to move to another vent 😉

[granite wave]

let peaple talk in open games to

[jovial oar]

add a youtuber role

[ocean cypress]

How about I rename Streamer to Content Creators?

[jovial oar]

much better

[jovial oar]

how to be a content creator

i have 1.5k subs on youtube so can i get the role

[ocean cypress]

Myself and the community moderators wait to see GGD being added to a content creators rotation before assigning the role

[jovial oar]

ok

[shy oriole]

Okay, we need an UWU fart, c'mon guys!

[late spear]

^

[ivory locust]

"Need" is a strong word

We could begrudgingly use one, but need I do not.

[strange gyro]

Could rank spam have its own channel?

[shy oriole]

Boo you're a partypooper

[warm wolf]

Ghostly farts

[honest parcel]

I need new fart sounds like for example funeral march sounds

[shy oriole]

That's not even dark, it's just sad

[honest parcel]

@shy oriole you know the clown tune? imagine that as a fart

[shy oriole]

You have weird kinks

[honest parcel]

@shy oriole only for you. but i still want it

[shy oriole]

Ew

[lucid plaza]

Hey devs. Quick question here but are you guys going to adjust how our avatars move in the game? So that it is a bit more fluid like in Among Us? Just wondering.

[gentle sluice]

Geese and ducks waddle though....

they cannot spell or walk properly.... it's genetic

[vocal surge]

they waddle because their butt has a quack in it

[jovial oar]

Make a support channel so people can ask their doubts there instead of asking doubts and helps in general

[gentle sluice]

.... #📄︱feedback #816406021232263280 other areas will be coming soon as we build more FAQ resources.

[gaunt tangle]

hi guys

[hazy pivot]

@lucid plaza Among us uses a 4 frame animation cycle, we use 18 frames. Making geese run like humans looks really weird when we tried it. We settled for a "dumb" looking waddle/stupor

Hiya Kan

[cobalt void]

Honestly, the stupor look adds charm.

[gaunt tangle]

how are you guys

i actually have goose goose duck on steam

because the game is free

someone friend me on steam

and we will play it

[cobalt void]

Medium ability does not really give much indication that it's active and feels very uneffective to use.

Some sort of visual or noise confirmation that you activated your ability would be nice player feedback.

I know the icon ever so slightly changes on the eyes but it could use a little more oomph when activating and deactivating.

[gaunt tangle]

name on steam is Kan and icon is Roblox

[gentle sluice]

hi Kan, you can just check out #lfg-english-over18 or other languages you speak to to find a room to play in.

[gaunt tangle]

ok

[hazy pivot]

@cobalt void let me make a sound now

[cobalt void]

Also an effect around the edge of the screen or something might be cool too.

Like an ethereal looking border or something, but who knows

[cobalt void]

Sounds nice! An ending noise might be smart too. I know, I'm high maintenance.

[hazy pivot]

In that case I propose these

[gentle sluice]

^^ love it

[cobalt void]

My uneducated opinion likes the original noise for start and the mediumstart for an ending but I think anything you guys put will be good.

[hazy pivot]

Shorter will be sweeter in this case

we're also going to have to audio mix it to prevent your triggering it echoing through your mic with prox chat on (revealing who you are)

it's already implemented will be in the next patch.

Hopefully people will be able to make the new medium role work; it can still break the game.

I mean break the game for the ducks.

If they aren't careful.

[gentle sluice]

could always be refined again if needed

• a one time thing like a vig, (or once per round...) so use your power wisely... or maybe only works when lights are off as the EMP of the busted lights enables the ghosts presence to be felt?

[hazy pivot]

Your FoV is way too small to make use of that

you'll likely die.

before you see anytthing

[gentle sluice]

true. especially when on very dark mode

[cobalt void]

Would a toggleable option for camera duration be plausible?

ie - an option you can toggle on to set the length someone can watch camera on a cooldown.

so if you set it to 10 seconds, someone can only watch 10 seconds worth of camera and then it goes on cooldown before you can use it again.

[hasty galleon]

Is there going to be an app for this game or no. Once again just curious nit a big deal since i have it on my pc

[shy oriole]

Yes it is coming out on iOS very soon, with Android shortly after

[lucid plaza]

Will development time slow down when this game comes to mobile devices?

[ocean cypress]

we have no plans of slowing down

[hasty galleon]

Yay! i can get some of my friends who don't have pc to play as well.

[shy oriole]

Yes @hasty galleon , very soon! We’re all excited to get the game out to more people!

[hazy pivot]

Why would we slow down :)m

[lucid plaza]

I thought that developing a game on multiple platforms would take more time and effort. Especially if you plan to port this game to consoles especially

[ashen lichen]

When lights are off, it would be neat if the security cameras switched to a silhouette mode. Or an option to enable that. Would allow you to see kills happen, just not who did it.

[hazy pivot]

We have a fairly large and growing team.

[lucid plaza]

Alright.

[ashen lichen]

Maybe an option for the host of a called body or meeting to have a small amount of time to talk before anyone else. So they can say where they found the body, or why they called the meeting before getting talked over immediately. Something short. Like 5-10 seconds?

[hazy pivot]

This is a mode that we are exploring as an option

[leaden mountain]

this is an idea for the server

I was wondering if you could add a lfg-Czech

[gentle sluice]

done

[leaden mountain]

thanks bro

[prime cave]

fix the random booting bs

[leaden mountain]

that's probably do to connection

it happened to me

[mellow iris]

and the game is also in beta, so problems are to be expected, the team works as quickly as they can to put out reliable updates so we can keep playing

[prime cave]

500 mb a sec its there servers

please fix it xD

i been booted like 20 times now in mid game lol

[fickle abyss]

What is your ping and jitter rate? Speed doesnt mean much nowadays

[hazy pivot]

Can you do a jitter test and DM me?

[prime cave]

yes hold on

[earnest lodge]

Make Vents highlighted in red or something, I always forget to use them because I don't notice them when I am the Duck.

Would love the Chat to be visible while in the vote screen. It gets to be a pain to go see who has voted and back to chat going back and forth.

[hazy pivot]

^^^ This could be possible but with 16 people we're running low on screen real estate =()

[earnest lodge]

Vote buttons could be made a tad smaller, or make it a left/right screen divide 🙂

[waxen galleon]

After spending a little too much time playing this game (lol no such thing), I few suggestions:

Key mapping: Allow us to change the buttons to better suit our play styles. Other games use spacebar to initiate tasks, while DDG uses it to kill, and I'm all for making it your own, but many of the AU players I played with this past Wednesday, their number one complaint was not being able to remap the buttons to be more like AU.

Proximity Chat Option: Allow Geese to haunt the ducks. Having the faint sounds of the ghosts taunting the player that killed them is always fun.

Weekly Quests: Some weekly quests to play X amount of games. Complete X amount of tasks. Kill X amount of Geese. Win as a dodo. Things like that to reward some additional crafting materials could help ease some of the crafting drop rate frustration I've been hearing a lot about. Also with that being said I feel like a "battle/season pass" may be too overwhelming with the sheer amount of games that use them, unless you make each one really long, like 3+ months.

[hazy pivot]

Key Mapping will be available after our full release and the framework is already in the works.
Proximity chat to haunt ghosts is something we're thinking of putting on the Poltergoose
As we build out our game modes we have plans to include quests to keep players engaged. Right now Classic/Hide and Seek/Goosehunt are great but it's just not enough to build a daily reward system around.

These are all fantastic ideas!

[hazy pivot]

@prime cave - I can't get the vimeo link to open for some reason

[wary tiger]

kk let me see if i can switch it to youtube

dmed it to you

[fossil saddle]

heya

[earnest lodge]

Friend system, been playing with some fun geese, would be great to add them as a friend so you can connect again later.

[frigid sparrow]

This is high on our priority list after mobile

[sturdy bay]

I really want a tuna can hat so I can be bumblebee tuna

[little hare]

just throwing out my idea for another chaos element, inspired by the canadian duck :D, The Silly Goose 😛 - If voted out for sus and voted on by the ducks, the silly goose will take a random duck (out of the ones who voted him/her) with them out the airlock. just a fun idea but i have no idea how balanced something like this could be just wanted to throw the idea out there

[gentle sluice]

Repair something with duc(k)t tape.

[hazy pivot]

This should be in puns

[tranquil mango]

Is there going to be visual additions for the bird vaccine and the task in reactor with the color wheel numbers for color blind people? Like for the vaccine you can do basic shapes like square, circle, triangle, diamond, star, heart, pentagon, trapezoid, plus sign, number sign, etc with the colors.

[shy oriole]

We wish for the game to be accessible and playable for as many as possible, so the devs are working hard on implementing these kinds of changes. We are grateful for any suggestions & feedback regarding this 🙂

[hazy pivot]

@tranquil mango absolutely, a big portion of our dev team is color blind 🙂 We are working on those tasks next

[vocal surge]

there should be a task that is like a squeegee thing on like a window or the shower in hatchery

[tranquil mango]

Awesome, i showed my nephews the game bc they like among us, and I want to get them playing this one

[plush sedge]

So I think an addition you could add to the settings is a Color Blind mode

[gentle sluice]

Is this for the voting (already exists) or for general game play? The dev team have several colour blind types on staff so they are very conscious in visual content of being accessible to visually challenged players. If you know of a task which you or someone you know is having issues with seeing, please let us know!

[gentle sluice]

General Idea: Ducks to get chance of a craft item for sabotages they personally collect codes for

[lucid plaza]

General Idea: Have the ability to adjust the movement speed for Ducks

[ivory locust]

Specifically for ducks? And not geese?

[lucid plaza]

Maybe both. Good idea.

[ivory locust]

There is an option to change movement speed in all game modes. Cheers!

[lucid plaza]

You could add specifically for Ducks, so that it can be more varied.

So that it can be different.

[ivory locust]

Then people would notice specific players moving faster or slower than others.

[lucid plaza]

This could apply for Hide and Seek only.

[ivory locust]

Adjust duck speed only in goose hunt and hide and seek. Noted. Thanks for the suggestion!

[lucid plaza]

No problem.

[gentle sluice]

Suggestion from a lobby that the dead run around headless for a while and then fall over within the room where killed. So may be killed on Lights but body can be anywhere in electrical?

[honest parcel]

Update hide and seek name to hide and goose seek

[ivory locust]

^ most likely already what's happening.

[hazy pivot]

One of the names propsed was actually " FIND GOOSE NAO!"

[ivory locust]

is good name tho...

[earnest lodge]

We were in private game with prox. We ended up having a couple of trolls who came in from the shared code in the LFG. It would be nice if the host could kick when in mid game. It was terrible having to wait until game over to be able to kick. When in publicly game and not prox chat you can mid game but not in private with prox chat one

[earnest lodge]

They were saying terrible things and no one was happy about it.

[ivory locust]

Did you report them?

[earnest lodge]

No report button when prox chat and they left just before we went to lobby

[hazy pivot]

That's terrible, we will definitely add kicking during the game

[earnest lodge]

Ty ❤️

[hazy pivot]

Sorry that happened; just some people with terrible parents.

[earnest lodge]

Yep! Agree, found an awesome group of random strangers,

Just one bad egg

[hazy pivot]

It's the internet; we're looking at doing perma bans

[earnest lodge]

Ha there is a role, Bad Egg

[hazy pivot]

so for instance, if a host kicks a player they will ahve the option of banning them for life

That player would never be able to join that hosts games ever

[earnest lodge]

Oooo that would be wonderful!

[ivory locust]

Instead of kick. Turn someone into a bad egg... where they're just a rotten egg who can't move or speak.

[earnest lodge]

Lol

That’s perfect!

[ivory locust]

No, you!

[hazy pivot]

instead of kicking them?

[ivory locust]

Yes lol

[hazy pivot]

Hmm, it just mutes them, turns them into a rotten egg

[earnest lodge]

Well it’s a bannishment until end of game then it kicks

Stinky rotten egg

[hazy pivot]

The other thing we can do is just shadow silence/them

they will just think everyone is ignoring them and no one sees their typed messages

then you can kick them when you get back to the lobby

This way it doesn't necessarily break the game

[earnest lodge]

Sure, something to help keep them from ruining fun for other

Maybe make their screen show a bad egg while they are silenced

[hazy pivot]

We just never put these things in private games because we figured that people would eventually know who they are playing with and form groups of players they enjoy

I guess we underestimated how bad the trash really was.

[earnest lodge]

Yeah I understand why it’s not there, but bad eggs will always find ways

Especially with prox chat. But I’ve played with lots and it was my first encounter, so it’s not often

[hazy pivot]

We've had a number of reports from people today, it appears that one person has insecurity issues and finds it fun.

[earnest lodge]

Yep, it’s all good. You guys are doing great! It’s such a fun game

Thanks for all the hard work ❤️💜

[wary tiger]

on the vaccine put symbols to help color blind people

[sand egret]

Yeah, we had that in our list of todo's. I'll bump it up now so hopefully we can get it for the next patch

[wary tiger]

that would be great

😄

[plucky nebula]

Could an exchange system Silver coins for Gold coins be explored?

[hazy pivot]

We would have to start charging for the game

Keep in mind that we host our own voice chat and we're free to play 🙂

Other social deception games charge you for a license to play or make you watch ads.

And don't have voice chat integrated

Gold coins are the only way we can keep the servers running 🙂 It's all 100% voluntary though. You don't need to spend any money to enjoy all the features.

[granite wave]

special role specific achievements?
like kill a duck as sherif

[winged coral]

Could map be pulled up with TAB during meeting like in game?

[lucid plaza]

Here's a new big game suggestion. When we are in the game lobby, give the lobby host a chance to change the map so we don't need to rehost the game. Not sure if this is possible to do but this would be a great addition to the game.

[tranquil mango]

I'd like the map to be pulled up during voting too, not just discussion - some games have super long voting times and less discussion time

[hazy pivot]

This poses a number of ux problems. people tend to click on the map or point at it while on a touch screen. This could result in people accidently clicking and voting. We felt that as players learn the map more the map will be used less and less during voting. Voting on someone you didn't mean to can in effect break the game. We chose the lesser of two evils here and put the map in the discussion phase for this reason.

[tranquil mango]

Ahhhh that makes sense, thanks for the explanation!

[ashen bronze]

Goose Goose Duck subreddit 😂

[shy oriole]

[floral stump]

So here's a thought, maybe someone has already suggested something like this. If a mechanic is in the same vent as a duck, the duck can murder the mechanic, or has some other measure to chase a mechanic out of the vents when they're camping in the late rounds after finishing tasks, maybe there's a sabotage that clears the vents or something like that. Just a thought.

[mellow iris]

well that is why they added the mechanic venting cooldown

[cobalt void]

Yeah, learning how to play around a mechanic being alive is kinda important.

Usually they don't exit their vents unless it's something important so you can take advantage of that.

[mellow iris]

gotta sus them out early or you'll never catch em, i think it's fun

[plush sedge]

In addition to this amazing Idea if you make it able to kill the mechanic in the vents dont make it where the body pops out of the vent make a blood pool drool from the vent that somebody can report

[hazy pivot]

This would make the mechanic role WAY too weak; a duck would just snipe vents all game until they find the mechanic; report the body and then claim to be the mechanic, the mechanic cooldown at start of round is now fairly long so it does prevent them from immediately hopping. If the duck thinks they know who it is they can follow them. Essntially eliminating their ability to hop around. Their cooldowns really make it tougher.

[burnt karma]

Ghosts being able to use text chat in game

[untold creek]

just a thought for a pet.. " Maple leaf "

[lucid plaza]

Are you folks at Gaggle exploring on adding any certain gameplay mechanics from Space Station 13 to Goose Goose Duck? Because I noticed that some features here and in Among Us came from that

[hazy pivot]

Like which ones specifically?

[lucid plaza]

I don't know specific ones, but that comparison on that game has been going on a lot in my community. But I can ask.

[marble slate]

Comms disabling cameras as well as all talking

[hazy pivot]

Hmm not bad

[marble slate]

what does comms actually do in private games with vc turned off?

[hazy pivot]

No map no meeting

[edgy storm]

Ghosts should be able to click the task bar to see how many tasks each individual goose has.

[gentle sluice]

What purpose would this give to enhance, improve or fix ghost game play though? They are unable to communicate to the living realm by voice, and not visually at all if Medium is turned off.

[shy oriole]

This has been suggested before, but we also don't want the risk of anyone getting harassed because they haven't finished tasks yet (which can be a number of reasons why). The benefits of this does not outweigh the potential negative ones.

[edgy storm]

tbf if someone isn't doing tasks that's kinda a dick move and can prevent the goose team from winning.

and i'm sure people would like to be able to confront people not contributing to the game after the game's done. or if the person without their tasks done are a ghost, we can remind them directly in game to do their tasks.

[shy oriole]

Most people are not avoiding tasks for this reason (though I know it happens), but we have to consider new players who don't know the tasks well, and people who for whatever reason might not be as quick with gameplay as others. Task wins are not the only way to win, and when there are few geese left, it's harder for the ducks to kill & get away with it.
If you realize that someone is repeatedly not doing tasks, you can kick them from the game ^^

[edgy storm]

If someone doesn't know the tasks, the players could help them. And I've had games where we've had no tasks being done for over 5 minutes and nobody would admit they had tasks.

And how are we supposed to know who's repeatedly not doing tasks if we have no know to see who it is?

And as for people not being "as quick" as others, at least we know they're trying to get their tasks done.

[shy oriole]

If someone has problems with their tasks all they need do is ask, they have a drop down list and can ask about the specific task. The others in game regularly asks if people have tasks left, so there's plenty of chances to get help.
I know it can be difficult to find out who is not doing tasks in a public lobby, but they tend to change a lot either way. In private lobbies you will eventually realize who is not doing tasks, because people talk together, and you will see repeated patterns.
We understand the frustration, but like I said, we don't think the benefit of this outweighs the potential negative effects.

[cunning ibex]

sometimes its hard to tell who is talking, would it be possible to have like a small part of their name pop up on the top left/right? imagine how discord looks like when you are playing a game with someone and someone talks.

[hazy pivot]

This breaks the morphling role and also some future roles we have planned.

[wide topaz]

@hazy pivot Question, is there anything in the works where you can changes the maps within game options with out backing out the game. Thanks

[hazy pivot]

Its on the idea board but not yet implemented.

[granite wave]

hi

am new

[shy oriole]

Hello! Welcome to the goose family, we hope you enjoy the game!
Try looking at the Looking For Group channels or #829421328502095943 to see who’s playing if you want to join a game

[granite wave]

hi i love the game but do you think you can make a button for like different regions instead of it always going to ryssa

[hazy pivot]

You can select different games when you search for lobbies. You can only create games in your own region. Hosting from another region would result in serious latency issue

as our player base grows you should have no trouble finding players or games in any region.

[granite wave]

oh okay thx

[marble slate]

Potentially a timer as a ghost to prevent task grieving something long like 5 minutes to complete a task then reset if nothing is done in the 5 minutes auto disconnect. Because I have had games that people will litteraly not do tasks as ghost because they were salty. This also does not make it public for everyone to see the speed at which people are doing tasks but also gives people a practical amount of time to finish said tasks.

[hazy pivot]

^^ we are working on an anti-griefing timer. If a ghost has tasks left to do and chooses to stand still they will be kicked for griefing and likely receive a 20-40 minute game time ban

[mellow iris]

Ya, it does suck when ghosts do that, glad y'all are working on a fix. Even when i'm a salty ghost I still do my tasks....then go haunt someone i know is innocent just in case there is a medium XD

[hazy pivot]

It's largely in the interest of ghosts to win though ( they get a lot more currency) the more games you complete the more currency you get too!

[edgy storm]

i don't think something like that should be enforced

maybe a popup saying "X is AFK. Vote kick?"

with a yes / no prompt

unless it's in public then it's fine

[mellow iris]

could also maybe be a checkbox for private lobbies, sometimes people do have to go afk for unpredictable reasons

[hazy pivot]

It wouldn't happen in private lobbies.

[mellow iris]

ah

[hazy pivot]

We assume you know who you are playing with in private games. There should never be a kick for any reason in private games other than connection issues or egregiously going afk.

[marble slate]

I mean if you are a streamer and playing with fans kicking is a pretty necessary feature.

[mellow iris]

Yep, that's why I either play with people i know or play where i'm in charge of the lobby

[floral stump]

But the duck is on a cooldown at the start of each round too! You can't snipe mechanics before they get in vents at the start of the round! I agree that the cooldown helped, and I agree its important to figure out who they are early and deal with them before they finish tasks. That's why I think maybe just a sabotage to clear the vents, instead of a kill option. That could even backfire if blind ducks are on and a fellow duck gets flushed out!

[shy oriole]

Might be a fun option if both ducks & mechanic get flushed out

[gentle sluice]

across the whole map!

[shy oriole]

Yes definitely! Kind of fun if a lurking duck suddenly gets booted x)

[mellow iris]

Even better, make it a lever that anyone can activate

but have the lever itself not be anywhere near a vent so whoever pulls it can't see who got pushed out

[shy oriole]

But put it in cargo bay so they have to risk their life to get it....

[mellow iris]

lol

[burnt karma]

An ability to give away hosting powers

[waxen galleon]

One of the biggest suggestions I can make is have an option to adjust the discussion time based off a button push or a body report. For example:

Body reported, lobby is set to 45 seconds discussion so people can see their maps and stuff, and then a shorter voting time. Meeting ends, someone presses the button just to inform everyone they were silenced, or wanted to reset cooldowns, we may not want to wait 45 seconds discussing it, so for button pushes the timer might be 15 second discussions.

[hazy pivot]

We will be adjusting the alotted times for discussion and voting in the future

[livid canyon]

An idea for the Player Report function:
When reporting, add an additional form for a reason for the report, such as inappropriate behavior, racial slurs, cheating, etc.

[hazy pivot]

We will be adding reasons in the future

[livid canyon]

sounds good! all these trolls and bad eggs man... gets annoying real fast.

[hazy pivot]

just keep reporting

there is a ban hammer algorithm

[small bolt]

controller playability?

like, using a controller to play the game

[ivory locust]

In the future you'll be able to remap keybinds... meaning you will be able to use a controller .

@small bolt

[small bolt]

yaaaaaaay

gn

[granite wave]

i would like a new sabotage icon , maybe thats me but it looked like a trap button for me (this was in my mind -> i could place traps .... , hey , thats an ideea for an impostor role to slow them down instead of sabotages)
it makes sense what you have now but its not looking like a sabotage at the first glance .

This probably sounds like a me thing but just sayin...

[hasty galleon]

Like a mini smart watch icon like the actual sab menu

[granite wave]

yep since you sab from the watch

thats a nice ideea

[granite wave]

side roles would be cool they are like normal roles but can come with any main role like duck mechanic etc

like the speedy goose who goes faster than any goose

[ivory locust]

I don't think any roles that visually give away your role would be good for a social deception game.

#myopinion

[granite wave]

well ur right bout dat

[hollow beacon]

I would love to make some streamloots cards for this game

[white beacon]

Maybe lower the sabotage times?

[ivory locust]

Sabotage cooldown times are adjustable by the host while in the lobby. @white beacon

[granite wave]

so modifiers ?

they probably are already working on that since its so popular among modded among us

[granite wave]

yeah pretty much that lol

[small bolt]

a way to change the map from the in-game lobby? or a voting system on what people want the next map to be

[hazy pivot]

^^^ We can definitely put this in for private games but it's not trivial

will be available when we have more maps to choose from which will be fairly soon

[small bolt]

[agile obsidian]

Games nice and everything but you need to improve the way the vents look

It look me like 6 whole minutes on my first game to find 1 vent

[shy oriole]

You quickly get used to the vent locations after some games ^^
Do you have any suggestions as to how they might be improved on?

[agile obsidian]

highlight when you’re near the vent

The vent I found didn’t highlight or anything

[shy oriole]

This has been suggested before, and might be in the works. It just hasn't been on the top of the list ^^ The game is still very new, and the team is working hard on bug fixes & a lot of new content continuously rolling out ^^

[agile obsidian]

And it was really glitchy to hop into? For some reason the vent button didn’t work and I had to click like 10 times

[mental radish]

add chickens into the game

[shy oriole]

Hm, this would be a bug, it's not supposed to work like this. If you experience this again, please report it in #816406021232263280

[hazy pivot]

Listen here you six-piece chicken mcnobody! That's definitely an interesting idea 🙂

A neutral role/species around the chicken is something we can look into

[waxen galleon]

Now the chicken dance is stuck in my head. I hate it.

[ivory locust]

Byock AM CHICKEN

[mental radish]

b'gawk!

[viral fable]

Would there be a way to add a reconnect option for when someone gets disconnected? Sometimes I get disconnected for under a second and can still talk in meetings/the lobby but all I can do is disconnect and rejoin the next game. It would save a lot of games if there was both a back option (that's there currently) and a reconnect one

[hazy pivot]

We are working on something to help this situation in the next patch

[viral fable]

Great to hear! Thank you

[mental radish]

i have an idea

it would be really cool if there was some sort of customizable clothing like a cape or hat or something

[ocean cypress]

we do offer hats, and make some capes as part of an outfit

[mental radish]

i mean customizable

[gentle sluice]

General idea: Increase tasks to 10 max

[granite wave]

a duck role or a neutral role which can sabotage more often than anybody but can only attack in the dark

[granite wave]

kill animation idea - you poo on these geese to assert domination

[granite wave]

[granite wave]

i wanna add something here . To balance the role and not have everywhere the ligths off , just have them in like one room or two at a time .

to fix the sabotaged rooms , you need to go to lights pannel

[sage carbon]

oops, i missed this suggestion because i was looking in #🐣︱classic-role-ideas . A role that has perks and weaknesses based on whether the lights are on or off is definitely a neat idea

[granite wave]

🙂 no problems i need to look to the appropiate channels , i also didnt see #🐣︱classic-role-ideas but i shouldve , now all the role ideeas that i have will be added there , starting with this one again.

[red root]

can you add vc's in this server

[red root]

can there be vc channles added soon?

[ivory locust]

There are

[sage carbon]

you seem to be in one

[lucid plaza]

A suggestion for the Goose Goose Duck team. Whenever all players meet at the lobby for the first time or after a match, would it be possible to have all players spawn randomly across the room? Especially if there is a full lobby going on, it won't be hard to see peoples names when first starting out. A minor suggestion but it can be a good addition to the game.

[wary tiger]

@lucid plaza there is an option in game for that

[trim pumice]

Yep on the below proximty chat

[blazing solstice]

they mean the before game lobby i think

when your waiting for the host to start the game

[mellow iris]

I guess I don't really see what the point to that would be in the lobby

[static flint]

what if the ducks could have their own chat so they can talk to one another?

and no one else can hear them

when in the chat

[trim pumice]

Yea

they can plan what will they do and sabotage and whatever like a red chat in upper right next to the setting

[willow sky]

Add people as friends

And so we can have a quick invite

[sage carbon]

@static flint @trim pumice In general, we like that the ducks don't have their own chat. In a game with proximity chat, it means players have to take a risk if they want to coordinate something, as they can be overheard

[hearty plank]

If two ducks want to chat, can't they vent into their secret lair and talk, in secret, there?

Also, as for the secret lair, I think there should be a sort of "admin" style player tracker in there that shows what room players are in, but not who they are

and also can't see geese in corridors

the secret lair kinda needs something more interesting

[sage carbon]

they can

[hearty plank]

thought so

guessing there's no way for a goose to try and listen in through a wall?

[gentle sluice]

Only classic or cannibal though as morph or silencers cannot vent. They risk being overheard by a mechanic.

[sage carbon]

if a mechanic scrolling through the vents hears talking in the secret lair, that's pretty damning!

you'd also specifically have a setup with the cannibal + regular ducks

since silencer and morphling cannot vent

[ivory locust]

I almost never vent as a duck in fear that there might be a mechanic hiding in one. I only vent when I'm a mechanic.

I didn't even know that a silencer can't vent.

[mellow iris]

most of my vents have been out of cargo after trapping people in there

[shy oriole]

I almost never vent either... I thought cannibal goose couldn't vent x')

Also.... task idea: re-set the cuckoo clock
Fits in with the weirdly low tech stuff on the ship.... Or even better on Duck the Ripper!

[mellow iris]

hell even just setting a normal analog clock might be a good short task

[shy oriole]

yes.... but birdies..... >.>

[mellow iris]

(also the cuckoo clock should totally have a goose pop out of it, dressed as a cuckoo)

[granite wave]

the morphling cant vent too i think

cuz i couldn’t vent as him before

i was spamming the vent button

[shy oriole]

The morph button is the same as the vent button. A venting morphling would be too OP. But this is the only one I remember couldn't vent...x')

[granite wave]

it was my first time as a morphling

[ivory locust]

Oh I know the morphing well.

[edgy storm]

There should be an option for information time before discussion time, where the host has exclusive talking rights. Can be set from 0 to 20 at steps of 5.

[ivory locust]

Interesting perspective @edgy storm

Im not against this

[ocean cypress]

Its more common courtesy to let whomever calls the meeting or report the body talk first. 1 min max discussion timer + 1 min max voting time should be ample time to state your facts to the group

[edgy storm]

But it would also be nice to have the option for dedicated host talking time.

[lament granite]

We were having an issue earlier as we were unable to get into the game. When we asked what the code was the chat was sort of forgotten. To kill two geese with one duck could there be a rule that the host is responsible for letting chat know both what the code is and when lobby is open? This ensures the code is not repeated as well as no goose being left behind when trying to join. Thank you guys! HONK!

[shy oriole]

It is up to every lobby host to decide for themselves how they want to run their lobby, so this is not something we can enforce, though I see the predicament.
Most hosts try their best to keep their lobbies available, but everyone can make mistakes and be forgetful.
Avoiding repeat codes is easy enough by reading the previous newest posts and simply check if it’s there or not
I am looking into another way to keep the lfg channels clean, yet give people a way to communicate between games ^^

[ivory locust]

Are you referring to posting the code on discord @lament granite

[lament granite]

yes. i may have worded it incorrectly though. not so much make it a a rule but perhaps a friendly reminder in the welcome chat to post in discord LFG when a lobby is open/spot is available so others can join. over the half hour-hour we thought the chat was dead and the last code posted was for a game that ended long before we arrived. the 4 of us were trying to get (what we thought was) the first game going lol lol. its easier in AU servers because each lobby has its own text and VC numbered 1-100+ so you can see how many games are going as well as how many spots are available in each game. AUs in game public prox chat isnt running yet so it obviously works differently. frankly it was just a small issue yesterday. its no biggie really, i just wanted you guys to know one of the issues we had come across. we ended up having a lot of fun once we got in the lobby

[trim pumice]

They should make the dodo bird tasks finished when he first spwaned

[ocean cypress]

There are many ways to play the dodo. If we auto-completed why assign tasks at all? The Dodos tasks do not contribute to the Geese progress. Giving the Dodo tasks gives them something to do and/or the ability to earn crafting materials. Another case is if you were the dodo and first to die, there is nothing for you to do and well that's just not fun

[sage carbon]

You also want an opportunity for that sweet sweet gooseonium

[waxen galleon]

I think it would be interesting if the dodo could call sabotages even if it was a select few.

[sage carbon]

@waxen galleon its definitely an interesting idea. I think the way it works now, it might put sabotages on cooldown

which might end up being problematic.. and maybe even the other way it's potentially problematic

for example, in the former scenario, say the Dodo goes to the lights, calls a lights sabotage and then fixes it instantly. You've blocked Ducks from an element of their gameplay

In the latter scenario, say the Dodo calls lights and people leave it for a while. maybe there's murder, and then it get fixed... and then the ducks call another lights sabotage

I'd say it could lead to pretty unfun situations for somebody either way

[gentle sparrow]

when it's going to release in india

[hazy pivot]

This game should already be available in India

are you unable to play?

[gentle sluice]

We have a couple of regular players from India. 🙂

[gentle sparrow]

I can't find it on playstore 😅

[shy oriole]

Download from Steam or gaggle.fun ^^

[sage carbon]

@gentle sparrow it's not out on mobile yet

stay tuned!

[gentle sluice]

Mobile devices are due in the next few weeks! just doing fine tuning - but you can grab it for PC or Mac now at the above places. It's free 🙂

[waxen galleon]

You could set it to maybe being able to call one sabotage all game. It woukd be really interesting for the dodo to complete a sabotage task on blind ducks to fool them into thinking they're on their side.

[untold creek]

I had an idea of a goose being a Diffuser where they can un activate an active sabotage. so the ducks have to redo the activation to do the sabo. that way lights can't get called like 4 times in a row. or doors can't get called during lights.

[granite wave]

• Make Virus Task – Add a “Make Virus” task to the duck. Same task as “Make Bird Vaccine”, but the duck has 1 virus to infect a goose after finishing this task. The infected goose will die after a cooldown time. The lobby host can select how long the infection lasts.
• Bird Vaccine Task – The goose that does this task can cure an infected duck/goose from the virus.
• Infected Duck/Goose – An infected duck/goose will have a side effect of slur during the meeting, or walk wobbly, or have blurry vision.

[granite wave]

Combine USA East and USA West servers into one listing. But can still have the option to filter them separately.

[hazy pivot]

We are looking at a way to pull from all servers based on average latency in future updates 🙂

[trim pumice]

Ok so my idea is that if it is public game

The lovers has a chat and they can chat if they're a duck or a goose

Then make the plan and stuff

But when the meeting occur they cannot see a lovers chat but still visible to the lovers

[gentle sluice]

That’s what pillow talk is for ... meeting up and planning

[trim pumice]

Ok

[shy oriole]

So there seems that several people still have problems with the Calibrate Doors task, as the white dot starts to appear when it's still yellow. It seems hard to find the exact "boldness" of the white dot.
I was wondering if there could be a small black dot appearing in the middle of the white one, just when you're about to hit the right spot? Or a thin black ring around the white dot perhaps, as it seems difficult to determine the boldness of the white, as both the yellow and green colors are also very bright.

[white beacon]

ghost prox chat?

or no wait

my bad

ghost chat while in game, and ghost voice while in meetings maybe?

[hazy pivot]

It gets too loud because players cant hear one another in meeting if you have ghosts trying to talk to one another and listening to the living players.

[wary tiger]

allow options for like canibel duck and vig to beable to use there powers more then once have it in the game settings

[hazy pivot]

^^^ This will break the game flow/mechanics. We also have complimentary roles that are not in the game yet that would conflict with some of these settings.

[rose vapor]

This is more an idea for the Discord but have a channel and bot using a specific "suggest" command and have people vote on it

[hazy pivot]

^^^ This is definitely something we will do for our future updates 🙂

As we get more and more suggestions we'll start to compile the ones that can work and put them in the list for people to vote on.

[ivory locust]

Make it easier for me to win every game please and thanks.

[hazy pivot]

[mellow iris]

Make it so aaaaaalex gets autovoted out each game please and thanks

[shy oriole]

Who's aaaaaalex? I only know aaaaaaaaaalexx
but surely theyr'e not the same, bc he already gets voted out every time

[mellow iris]

XD

[ocean cypress]

K

[shy oriole]

Man these devs are amazing, they will make Alex get voted out AND win every game. So kind to the community

Also, this makes Alex a forever dodo

[mellow iris]

XD

even better

[fickle spear]

Idk if it's been said before but controller compatibility. It just popped in my head

[ivory locust]

I wanna special dodo ability tho... like making people slip on banana peels. It does no actual harm to them.. just a minor Inconvenience

I would be happy with this. Please and thanks.

[mellow iris]

I second this idea

[ivory locust]

@fickle spear in the final build you'll be able to change keybinds

Allowing you to play on a controller

[mellow iris]

Plays the Kill music and shows a screen of you slipping just to make you think you got murdered

[shy oriole]

oh yes

[ivory locust]

But then you walk away and we all laugh.

[mellow iris]

and/or start swearing

[ivory locust]

"Oh alex... you silly forever-dodo"

[shy oriole]

Instead of the kill animation, it's everyone else laughing at you as you slip and fall

[mellow iris]

lol

[ivory locust]

No that's mean

[shy oriole]

Making them slip and fall is fine, laughing is not - noted.

[ivory locust]

Only I can laugh

[foggy belfry]

I could imagine a custom bot for the discord would go a long way, especially in terms of moderation and game finding/promoting!

I'm not entirely familiar with the ins and outs of bot coding, but it's an idea!

[shy oriole]

Yes the server will be worked on as the community grows

[ocean cypress]

yea will be working on adding more robotic geese in this server this week

[foggy belfry]

Neato! Ty for responding!

[untold creek]

is it possible to have Vigilante's kill cool down to be separated from Duck's cool down, I'm just thinking since the Vigi only gets 1 kill they should be able to kill with out fearing a duck kill. or in my case a tie and having the duck win, which I think would me the majority of the time.

[sage carbon]

@untold creek the ducks cooldown is intentionally lower than the sheriff's and the vigilante's

geese should have fear in their heart

[untold creek]

dang it.. but the Vigi needs vengance. LOL

[hazy pivot]

I think they are the same at the start @sage carbon this is to create a joust match between them if they figure one another out

[untold creek]

that happened between me and aaaaaaaaaalexx

[hazy pivot]

Haha

[mellow iris]

Sheriff tried to joust me yesterday...it ended badly for them XD

[untold creek]

https://clips.twitch.tv/DarkTangibleEggWOOP-Lzpq4y1dE1Tze0CF

[sage carbon]

is this true? i dont know that i've ever seen a sheriff or vigi beat a duck

too much hesitation in their hearts

[hazy pivot]

I think its hesitation

[shy oriole]

Definitely hesitation

[mellow iris]

If i shoot without hesitation i kill a goose as sheriff about 90% of the time XD

[foggy belfry]

Got the idea from another channel in here but!! In lieu of proximity chat in public games what if there were footsteps that would get louder or quieter based on distance

[ivory locust]

Impressive! How do you have such accuracy?

[hazy pivot]

^^^ in an average game with 10-12 players this math checks out.

[fiery ferry]

so.... how do you join a private server in this server? I want to play but i want to play with prox chat

[ocean cypress]

#lfg-english-over18

[fiery ferry]

Thanks idk how i missed that

[waxen galleon]

I've been putting some thought into how to handle the dc'd task issue and I think I came up with a solution.

The problem is right now if a player dc's or rage quits the tasks don't complete making task wins impossible. If you divide those tasks among players, then that makes it known that the player that dc'd was either a goose or a neutral role, revealing important game information.

My suggestion is maybe adding some kind of spirit board or bulletin board for ghosts that add the dc'd person's tasks, that can only be picked up one at a time. This allows anyone that died to have something extra to do if a player dc's but also makes it so any recently deceased still have a chance to help out.

Could also potentially give ghosts bonus objectives on the bulletin board to keep them occupied when they finish everything.

[odd spire]

a map thats medival/DnD inspired

how about a Map for each Planet. unless thats what the Nexus colony is about.

[granite wave]

A votekick system for public games

[carmine wharf]

i second this a guy was talking abou phub in a lobby in a private match

[foggy belfry]

I would like to third this!

[hazy pivot]

Hosts can kick people in private matches, we can't police private games.

[carmine wharf]

i know

but vote kick whould be great

[hazy pivot]

In a private lobby we assume you know the people you're playing with. The host can kick people they are not comfortable with.

A vote kick will likely be used to troll and adds nothing to the game experience for players.

[sage carbon]

@granite wave @carmine wharf @foggy belfry If enough of you find this person distasteful, and can't convince the host to kick them, you can always form a new lobby. As host, you'll be able to kick them from your game if they end up joining

[foggy belfry]

I meant more so for public lobbies rbh

Tbh*

I haven't been able to play any private lobbies myself ^^;

[carmine wharf]

ye

[foggy belfry]

Oh also! Maybe a ping or text indicator when the host of a game changes?

[granite wave]

[finite shard]

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

[carmine wharf]

oh i like that

[foggy belfry]

Isn't that kinda the function of Farts? :0c

[strange gyro]

we need merch that says #foreverSUS

[vocal surge]

can you make a random settings button? to randomize the match settings?

[jagged halo]

is it possible to have a text chat available while in game for players who have no mics?

[sage carbon]

its on our radar for ghosts to have a text chat on the main screen

[rose vapor]

I would like a way to add friends from the most recent game, so we can add them and play with them again

[sage carbon]

if you found them on discord, you can always add them as a friend on the discord

and i'd guess that they're also on discord, if they found a private lobby

[rose vapor]

That is true, but I have too many friends on Discord lol

[sage carbon]

well, that sounds more like a problem with you being too popular

take less showers

[waxen galleon]

Can confirm, that will make you less popular. Not that I'm speaking from experience.... I just know a guy. My friend. Not myself, talking about my friend... Bill..ip. Yup, good old Billip. He's doing well.

[steel nymph]

Mayhaps after full release you guys could port this to console for us console plebs

[hazy pivot]

@steel nymph We will definitely have plans to get this to mobile and possible switch 🙂 Which console are you playing on?

[steel nymph]

Ps5

[hazy pivot]

We dont have immediate plans to port to ps5 yet but it may happen alter.

later*

[plain bough]

what about ps4 though

[golden zephyr]

Do you guys plan on having private party voice chat in meetings and for ghosts when proximity chat is not on?

[hazy pivot]

No ^^^ The living players can't hear when the ghosts are talking and it gets very chaotic.

We found that the ghosts ended up listening to the conversation and use text chat anyway.

[steel nymph]

No problem I can wait lol

[wild spoke]

Can we get a feedback noise when you hit the apply button in customizations, I got confused if it does anything or not

[sage carbon]

this is a good idea

[frosty grove]

Make a duck role that the kill cool down is twice as long as normal and call it the marinating murderer

[regal ginkgo]

Once a player dies, they should be able to see the roles of all the players during meetings. (Maybe only duck roles if this interferes with the purpose of the medium or other goose roles)

[coarse forge]

there should really be a possibility to force start a game from lobby even if not all have pressed "ready". Like Force start would start a countdown of 20-30 sec or something.
Soooo unnecessary to have to kick a player to be able to start the game.
This is extra irritating while streaming as I like to keep a steady flow and happy mood in my streams 🙂

[ivory locust]

Ghosts knowing the roles of either ducks or geese breaks medium role. @regal ginkgo

Start game with AFK player(s)? @coarse forge

[coarse forge]

yes. many are often afk for 1 min or so... or get a popup to automatically kick the "not ready" players in 10-20 secs or so...

or a popup where you can choose either options 🙂

[mellow iris]

So discord wise, if you put slowmode on the LFG channels to say, 15m, that would keep people from spamming the same code over and over, but would allow them to edit the same message to change it for players and such

Just an idea

Landed on 15m as the average game iv'e been in lasts around 10-15m a piece

[shy oriole]

15 is a bit much as some games does end early, especially if you don't have full lobbies, but I do agree a slower slow mode might help out ^^

[plain bough]

maybe increase the timer in #lfg-english-over18 so its a bit longer and they have to edit their messages?

[strange gyro]

hearing a lot of people asking for the option to make the discussion/voting times longer if they want. just passing a message along 🙂

[granite wave]

What if before you join a lobby you can test your mic if its a private game

[ivory locust]

I like the idea of increasing the slow mode timer, but I feel like then I'd just be explaining to hundreds of people why it's set up like that

[shy oriole]

[plain bough]

Thems the rules, all ya need ta say

[coarse forge]

could be nice if the sound faded down and not just cut to 0 straight away after leaving the sight field in gang too. More like BetterCrewLink work that others get louder the closer they are!

[hazy pivot]

^^^ We are looking into this. Our audio engine is integrated a bit differently. It's all possible but we want to tmake sure we don't overload some people's PCs. If we can find a way to do it efficiently we definitely can add it.

[ivory locust]

For the Silencer role, change the silence button image to a roll of duct tape alone, but then once someone is silenced, change that image to the existing silenced duck image.

[timber smelt]

Do not let the killer spawn on someone in hide-n-seek or goose hunt - should spawn alone to not get a head start on the games

[hazy pivot]

^^^ I'll add this to the list

[timber smelt]

2 more ideas - a report player button for anyone - in case the leader is toxic

Daily task to get achievements for silver or gold

Gift gold pack

[untold creek]

I thought that maybe there could be an indicator of a vent on the map. by like a red dot or something.

[plain bough]

Allow us to use caps in the game, thanks bye

[shy oriole]

Why?

[plain bough]

so us typers can yell at ppl

it gets annoying when they ignore us

[coarse forge]

in meetings, when the text-chat button is pressed, I'd love if it was still active and I could close the chat again by pressing it. So it have a toggle function to open/close and not just to open the text-chat (same way as in the lobby) 🙂

[upbeat mulch]

Maybe add like a daily login reward or daily challenges or smthn

[ivory locust]

And maybe the possibility of key binding chat in the future.

[proven grotto]

A level systemm

Maybe let duck duck goose be able to have mods, like town of us for among us

its probably not gonna happen but some extra addends could be nice

[modern jolt]

dang every moderator on discord at once

[hollow carbon]

question, will there be a setting implemented in the future for the vulture to set a number of bodies they need to eat to win or will it always be just a set amount?

[ivory locust]

The vulture must eat 1/3 of the amount of players.

[hollow carbon]

ah gotcha, that makes a lot of sense then

Please, increase the size of geese' icons that voted for someone. I know they should be small because of the likelihood that 14 players can vote for the same goose, but can you do something to make it not tire the eyes?

[hazy pivot]

@sand egret Do we want to make them bigger and do three rows?

We could probably put this in the next patch

[sand egret]

Yeah I agree, we can fit 3 rows in there

I'd say it woould make more sense if you could join and wait in the lobby until the next game starts

[ivory locust]

agreed

but it would take a bit more work i think.

[mellow iris]

otherwise you're gonna have ghosts suddenly popping in and circling random people just to troll because they didnt' get into the game at the start

[cobalt frost]

i think itd be useful if we could edit our own controls, i often find myself breaking my wrist to vent or sabotage. Like if we are able to assign an action to a more suitable key that works for us.

[hazy pivot]

Keymapping is on the way!

[hexed chasm]

An option to change your own mic volume / test it out of game would be great
My mic in every other system is perfect volume but in game people can either barely hear me or not at all.

[rigid lagoon]

put is so when you dead you see everyones roles plz

[sage carbon]

@rigid lagoon Ok

[hazy pivot]

Yeah we can definitely make this part of an update (but we will have to remove the medium entirely)

[rigid lagoon]

yea n add another role

[cobalt void]

I know there are additional third party roles being looked at for the game. Would it be possible to add a # of Third Party birds options in the settings similar to how there are Ducks? ie - set it on 2 even if there end up being four or so third party roles enabled it will only end up with two of them similarly to how you can have more duck roles enabled than number of ducks?

Obviously this isn't important right now, but just a thought for when the additional third party roles do get added to help keep the balance between geese, ducks, and third parties.

[sage carbon]

@cobalt void That's definitely something we're watching closely. At the moment, we don't plan on having more than 3 other species

[cobalt void]

Yeah, I guess that's one way of handling it.

I guess I just thought it would be a nice way to allow creating more roles but still allowing a limit on them.

[sage carbon]

if you look at the prospective birds channel you can have a peek at some of the ideas we're tinkering with

some of them are variants on existing birds

[hollow beacon]

Fart that says POOF!

[topaz mason]

can we be allowed to see everyone's roles once we die? this would be an optional command. if you don't want to see the roles, just don't use the command. if you want to see the roles, use the command so the game is more clear.

(someone might've asked this, I don't know)

[hazy pivot]

^^ This would force us to remove roles that have utility after death

such as the medium.

We can look into this when we re-work the medium

[topaz mason]

ok, that might be an issue

[topaz mason]

a workaround:
if you look at everyone's roles, you will no longer be able to contact the roles with utility after death

[hazy pivot]

The medium works the other way

They contact the dead 🙂

giving the ghosts an ability to make another role inactive seems a bit "unfair"

[topaz mason]

true, that wouldn't seem good for the medium

[tepid edge]

I think that the lovers should have a chat for themselves

or a channel

[sage carbon]

@tepid edge We prefer it that you find one another and communicate via prox chat

[tepid edge]

but like to see if one of them is duck

if its on

[shy oriole]

It's in the interest of a lover duck to keep their lover alive, so communicating about what their role is important. Their shouldn't be a need for any tell ^^

[tepid edge]

ok

[uneven timber]

Has anybody mentioned a way to hear the living-?

[ocean cypress]

we have experimented with this idea, the voice chat becomes a little chaotic if the dead can hear the living but the living can't hear the dead. The dead are unsure who they are talking to

[shy oriole]

I think it would be too chaotic for ghosts to hear the living

[plain bough]

sometimes you just wonder why they're standing in a circle though...

[fringe viper]

I scrolled back and didn't see anything on this, would it be possible to have DCed players tasks complete after 5 minutes or something? I've always considered the tasks to be a soft timer to force the Ducks to actually kill people and games drag on for a very long time frequently when players DC(and it seems that players DC or leave in nearly every game).

[sage carbon]

@fringe viper something like that is in the works. coming soon!

[fringe viper]

Amazing, thanks so much!

[novel quail]

There should be a dpad for the mobile version as a control options

[pliant hawk]

This could be a bad idea so feel free to shoot me down but is there a way to change the canadian role in any way to make it less OP because i find in lobbies that somone has a free pass as soon as they say they are canadian. usually to deal with this we make a party rule in the lobby to tame the role but yeah.

[sage carbon]

@pliant hawk we think it's okay. You don't have to play with the Canadian, nor do you have to kill him as a duck, nor should everyone believe the person claiming it

[novel quail]

You should only be able to here the living you are close too

[novel quail]

There could be a option where all geese need to be dead to win

But its toggle able

[shy oriole]

Once the ducks have reduced the number of geese to equal their number, there is no longer a chance for the geese to win, so this would be unnecessary. It would only turn the end of the game into a form of hide and seek until the ducks find the last goose, and it could be boring for the already dead to wait for.

[novel quail]

What about special roles like vulture who cam still be alive

[topaz mason]

no hope for the vulture to win either

if you think about it, the ducks can 1v1 each of the other birds

and just "eject" them off

[hardy magnet]

changing keybindings would be great, cause my keyboard is glitched af

[ocean cypress]

Keymapping is on the way!

[hardy magnet]

thanks

[light wagon]

Thank god, im honestly completely fine with all of the mapping but id prefer my push-to-talk to be on my mouse3 or 4 instead of on my keyboard itself

[fiery hazel]

We should be able to buy roles to increase our chance in becoming that role. Like they do in Town of Salem

[gentle sluice]

A system being considered is via wagering silver coins for increased probabilities on preferred roles

[fiery hazel]

Yes that

[ivory locust]

While this would be an ideal situation for some of us, people without coins are going to miss out on a lot of cool roles. Then people like me are going to get called out for being likely to get specific roles.

[mellow iris]

i get stuck in some roles too many times in a row as it is without choosing a role XD

[fiery hazel]

They play the games to get coins. Just like they get coins to spend on clothes they get coins to spend on increase the chance of a role. So nobody will miss out on roles because it doesn’t give people the role, it just increase their chance for one game.

[ivory locust]

@fiery hazel Right but cosmetics don't affect gameplay.
@gentle sluice is this actually being considered ?

[fiery hazel]

Yeah but I meant like how they do on TOS, but I don’t think you understand what I’m saying

[ivory locust]

You're right, I haven't played TOS much. Sorry about that.

[fiery hazel]

It’s fine 😁

[indigo vine]

do yall think this game will be on mobile?

[shy oriole]

Hang tight, it's coming out soon

[mellow iris]

what somnii said

[novel quail]

There should be a way to auto ready up but not start the game after some time cause ppl might be afk but still want to play

And sometimes ppl dont have enough time to press it

[sage carbon]

@novel quail just don't afk

[ivory locust]

Or don't be afraid to sit out a game or two.

[safe grail]

wish i could see map during voting and discussion time

since usually discussion<voting time

Im still learning and not being able to see map hurts

[ivory locust]

You can see the map during discussion time @safe grail ... people forget to vote enough as it is... adding something else to distract them during voting time would be more counterproductive than anything.

IMO

[safe grail]

true i guess

[edgy storm]

Hey, just a thought, but what if GGD had a “modifier” menu where the host could disable certain features of the game such as cameras, intercoms, certain sabotages, reporting bodies, skipping during voting (not voting would vote either a random person or host), or even talking during voting; or they could even set specific user’s roles (only host could see it but others could see that it’s used). Could enable GGD to get a lot more media coverage with challenge videos like AU used to have a lot of, and I’d imagine it wouldn’t be too hard to implement.

[novel quail]

When the original host rejoins the lobby they should get host back

[ivory locust]

Why did the original host leave?

[novel quail]

Sometimes they get afked kicked

[sage carbon]

just don't afk

[ivory locust]

Lobby Host role comes with some level of responsibility.

[edgy storm]

There should be a button to allow transferring host. EZ solution.

[topaz mason]

you should be to see your percentage of completion for achievements

i don't think it would be a very difficult implement

[topaz mason]

sometimes I'm host and i have to leave the game because chat is lagging. when you play too much, chat overfills, causing it to be really slow when you open chat.

[ivory locust]

@topaz mason next update has a fix for the chat lag.

[topaz mason]

ok, sounds good

it's probably a clear chat function right

[ivory locust]

The version we are testing has an auto deletion of messages in excess of 30 messages.

[topaz mason]

i think an on-command clear message feature is better, but that's fine as well

[ivory locust]

But not everyone will stay on top of their messages... in the short time I've been following this game, I've noticed that the devs take more of a proactive approach rather than reactive. So I think this also applies to that principle .. why wait until there's lag before you have to delete chat when you can potentially (automatically) stop the lag from ever occurring in the first place?

[topaz mason]

true, that makes sense. the only method to avoid that would be choosing auto-deletion mode and manual deletion.

[ivory locust]

That's why the ideas channels exist ! Thanks for your input!

[feral cove]

to be able to put the game in different languages ​​(I am Spanish) and by the way to be able to filter the rooms by languages

[novel quail]

Filtering rooms would be great but we also have different language games in the discord

[pliant gale]

It would be fun if you put vc’s in the server so people can do private and don’t need randoms to play with so vcs can be a great idea

[hazy pivot]

This is coming in an update

[fleet canopy]

Need more things to do as ghost.
You could die at the start of a round, finish your tasks in about a minute and then you literally just want to afk cause there is nothing to do except follow your killer.

[plain bough]

what if there was a new sabotage for ducks that set off a laser in the weapons room

[trim comet]

how about chat deletion at the end of a game and start of one instead?

[hazy pivot]

This offers no significant advantage and may cause problems for people who want to review the recent chat history

[trim comet]

Well, unless im misunderstanding something, wouldn't having the chat be deleted after 30 messages be worse?

cuz it would just take one argument to delete all history

[hazy pivot]

We want to preserve some of the previous game's chat so people can look through it. Especially in public games without enabled voice com.

[topaz mason]

I say that switching between different modes of deletion is still the best. If you don't really care about previous messages, put auto deletion on. Maybe a toggle for the number of messages kept could be later implemented as well.

[ivory locust]

The past 30 messages are saved. Everything exceeding that gets deleted. Are you hoarding messages and keeping them from me??

[shy oriole]

We're clearly keeping records of you Alex

[lucid plaza]

Add an indication on the top part of the lobby screen whether we are playing classic mode or Goose hunt. You know that "geese lost today" that's displayed at the main lobby, have something similar to that to show whether we are playing classic or Goose hunt.

[trim comet]

Well you guys have the playtesters. I just think 30 messages is too little

In my head:

In game no message might last long, especially with 15 other people potentially typing, it could take a few seconds for a message to be lost forever (bad especially if you're watching the voting screen to vote instead of chat)

But y'all got the playtesters, I'm sold about the idea of chat going beyond the game, just not sure about the number of messages is all < 3

[trim comet]

Oh. and in private lobbies, maybe you can make it optional that ghosts can see roles?

[shy oriole]

To have ghost see roles have been suggested before, but as long as there's a medium this is a little too OP, and not really necessary for the game play otherwise.
The number of messages is set so low, as part of many measures the dev team has taken in order to allow the players with really terrible connections to keep playing the game without disconnecting. 30 messages should be enough, if people pay attention ^^

[frail willow]

Maybe when you're exploring a map, you can select tasks and change your role.

[pale ferry]

what if there was a role that could un-die once, but they have to kill in X time after revived or else they instantly die, and the timer is paused in meetings

[hazy pivot]

Why do you hate the old messages so much ;)?

[trim comet]

I'm sorry. New here LOL. i just enjoy the game ya

[hazy pivot]

No, I mean why do you hate the messages so much. As in why do you want to destroy them?

[trim comet]

Oh. you mean destroy messages after ending games?

The way i thought about it. In game i'd like to be able to scroll up infinitely to see what was said earlier

But after the game, what was said in game is less important?

but once yall explained yall philosophy my only concern became can i scroll up enough/NOT have an argument destroy info

[topaz mason]

sometimes people want to recap the previous game

some games get really confusing and i would actually like to know everyone's roles

i can get this by looking at the previous game's messages

[ivory locust]

I guess it all depends on how many people in your games are using no mic mode or primarily text chat.

From my experience... 30 messages was about 4 games worth of messages. I can imagine that isn't the case in public games , but I can't imagine ever needing or wanting to ever go back 30+ "where?" and "red sus"messages looking for valuable information. Just my opinion.

[trim comet]

More like "Did lime say he was mechanic?"

i mean making it more memory based is fine. It just changes it for the willing 🙂

[ivory locust]

[slow valley]

This may have been suggested before, but is it possible to show roles on the end-game screen? And also show who isn't on the "winning" team? Almost every Goose victory ends with us asking "So who were the ducks?", "Was there a dodo alive?", etc etc.

Showing the victory screen as it is is great, but there's plenty of other space in the screen to show the losers! And also to fit the player roles above/below their names.

[trim comet]

What about a friends feature?

[mellow iris]

they have said that they are considering/working on that

would be nice to have though

[marble stratus]

Hello i know this Is More a question than a idea but the game Will go to android?

[mellow iris]

They are porting it to mobile, IOS first then android

[meager karma]

How about a free roam mode where you can just explore the map by yourself?

[frail willow]

that's a thing, you just can't change any roles or tasks

[ocean cypress]

when you go to create a game, above the map selection there is an "Explore" option

[meager karma]

oh

Sorry. to bother you but is there any way to see your stats like kills, reports, wins etc. cause if not that might be a good idea

[ivory locust]

I personally love when a dodo wins while I'm playing a TERRIBLE duck game. No one ever finds out I was duck lol.

[shy oriole]

Same...

[sage galleon]

I suggest making it so that you can choose which server you want your lobby in when hosting.

I would prefer to host in US East because it's way more active than US West

[regal flower]

is remapping keybinds a potential possibility (if it doesn't already exist)?

[shy oriole]

This will be a feature yes ^^

[ivory locust]

East Coast Beast Coast.
Are you referring to public lobbies? Or private lobbies?

[sage galleon]

Public lobbies. Although the option would be nice for both

[hazy pivot]

We are testing voice chat in public lobbies. Public lobbies already exist.

We may have a patch for this later this week.

[brittle tartan]

Can you let ghosts look at the cameras and have a text chat for gameplay?

[meager karma]

You should add the ability to use emojis

[shy oriole]

no I hate emoji's in game chat xD

[meager karma]

I feel like instead of goose hunt it should be called speed run mode or speed hunt something like that

[meager karma]

You should be able to multi purchase items for example instead of clicking on a shirt that you haven't bought and then clicking on the hats tab and it disappearing, instead you should be able to select multiple things at a time for example, if you click on a hat and then a shirt to be able to see what it would look like together and then buy it all together. Also on the right of the word "clothes" you could add a button that removes all the selected items. I think this would really help with making an outfit for your geese and I would love it if added

[hazy pivot]

Adding a shopping cart with this function would take away our development time from content.

This is not a trivial update 🙂

[meager karma]

so in the future may it be a further in the development process?

[hazy pivot]

This would be low on the priority list unless a lot of people really want a dynamic shopping cart, we would rather add new maps 🙂

[meager karma]

Sorry to bother you should have a questions channel and also can users post ideas for new pets?

[mellow iris]

With no set channel for pets, I would think that here in general ideas would be a good place to put those

actually that would be a cosmetic

so probably in #🎩︱cosmetic-ideas

[topaz mason]

achievement: kill all three ducks as sheriff

[sage galleon]

I meant like, when I pick to host a lobby I don’t get an option to pick a region for my lobby. I can only pick a region when I am looking for a game. For hosting it auto selects the region and I want more control over where I host.

[hazy pivot]

As of right now hosting the game requires faster connections to your server. In order to preserve game play we needed to ensure that the host is connected to the fastest hop on their server list. In the future we will change this as our player base grows and our infrastructure gets better.

[wide topaz]

So Bounty should be converted to gold coins. so it makes it more attractive to the ducks or murderer. Just an idea...

[hazy pivot]

We would need to charge for the game...

Gold coins are our only source of income for the game, to pay for servers and voice chat data.

[wide topaz]

Ahhhh make sense. got cha

[wide topaz]

Me and @hollow beacon think a rainbow fart would be awesome. Taste the rainbow, feel the rainbow

[hollow beacon]

YES! #patentpending

[sage carbon]

such a great idea it had to be posted in two different channels

[sage galleon]

It would be nice to be able to save and load custom rulesets, especially as more settings and roles get added

[sage galleon]

There is a pretty major problem with the game right now that makes it nigh unplayable.

You can't fart as a ghost.

[waxen galleon]

Boy will you like the next update 🙂

[waxen galleon]

I know this is a highly requested feature, so I believe it's on the dev's radar.

[hazy pivot]

This may be an Overwolf Addon for people who really like to host lobbies.

[still mantle]

You should be able to leave mid-game if you are already dead without risking a temp-ban. Really, it's boring to wait for the game to end if you die at the start.

[hazy pivot]

Some of our roles actually interact with the living as dead players. In some cases it can get boring but leaving does break the game a bit. We are working on a way to make it more interesting for players to hang out and get their duties done.

This will be in the future.

[sage galleon]

Haunting Goose could be a role revealed to a goose when they die. Two ideas for this one.

1. They can vote in meetings. Their vote is invisible.
2. They can trigger sabotages. This sounds backwards as a goose, but they can try to use it to lead players to bodies. Like triggering reactor where a kill was done.

This is a role idea but it seems relevant to the whole dead player thing.

Also let dead players talk between meetings. They can already do so in private games via voice chat. Why not have text chat available as well?

I have found when hosting Mafia games on Discord that giving dead players access to a private channel dramatically increased dead player engagement with the game, since they can talk amongst themselves as they spectate.

Another idea regarding the intercom feature. Currently in private games you can use it to talk to all players for a few seconds, but in public games it just plays creepy goose noises. How about being able to send a single text message over the intercom? That way intercom can have more use in public games.

Basically there are a couple of features that only exist in private voice chat games that can be brought over to public games to make public games a bit more engaging.

[hazy pivot]

@ocean cypress let's do it!

[ocean cypress]

Done

[trim comet]

i didn't even know that you can do that with the intercom that's awesome

I'm thinking, how about an animation of your ghost leaving your body when you die. I realize your ghost has to stay in place a bit before it moves. It just feels clunky atm, could double in helping a medium know when a kill was recent (i have found it to be the most interesting use of the Medium role thus far)

[sage galleon]

Medium seems to be listed as pending for rework since it’s difficult to counterplay roles that can interact with dead players.

[topaz mason]

it should be a small text message, maybe only 5-10 characters (like an extremely small telegram)

[sage galleon]

That seems pretty limiting compared to what voice chat lets you say, which is a good 3 seconds or so

[viral jasper]

Push to Talk but in reverse, Push to Mute for those of us that forget to push the button for talking, but want to be able to talk to stream for a moment.

[mellow iris]

I mean, that's already in there with the current chat isn't it?

all you have to do is hit M then hit it again, or are you meaning only be muted while holding M?

[cosmic wolf]

be able to hear the alive people during the game as ghosts ?

[mellow iris]

that's been brought up a few times and it causes confusion and such

[brave brook]

Clean Up Discord with a Bot so We dont have to see 15 Languages in White when we are OCD please If you dont mind that is

[mellow iris]

Even if they removed messages with a bot it would still show up white to you. You can mute specific channels so you don't see them turn white though

[coarse forge]

Would be nice for the Lobby Host to be able to change the room code...
Sometimes some players forget to hide the code and show it on stream, or post it in chat etc... Or have it like Discord where you can make temp invite votes that last for like 3 mins or so...
Should be quite easy to make an alias register for the real room code 🙂

[hazy pivot]

It's actually not trivial at all; the room code is an actual object stored on the server. It's identifier needs to remain the same in order for most things to continue working. We can look into this but it's not as simple as it may seem on the surface.

[coarse forge]

yeah I get that, but if the lobby owner could generate random codes that are just a short time valid alias for the real room code at shouldn't be too hard... but sure a bit og code will be needed and a new table... 🙂

[hazy pivot]

^^ This is even more difficult, information about the lobby like server location and routing info is embedded in the codes right now.

It would require an overhaul of our entire system.

We believe we've done enough to help streamers maintain privacy (more than the other guys) in their lobbies at the moment. The rest is up to the streamers. When we migrate to different server back end tech we can revisit how we do this and maybe create a password system on top of the room code.

[shy oriole]

I think the only think to add to lobby privacy for streamers is the ability to hide the code during starting screen, but that's not really a big issue x)

[mellow iris]

Well streamers can always turn off their screen while they enter the code then turn it back on

[shy oriole]

exactly

[coarse forge]

Yes you have indeed 🙂
The problem isn't really the streamers, but when we invite others and they spread it... But many streamers can get better at not posting directly on the chat etc, but rather in DM... it's fine 🙂
And as always I really appreciate you answering 🙂

[mellow iris]

I just flip to my BRB screen, put teh code in, and flip back

And often have to tell people "this isn't my lobby so i can't invite anyone i don't know personally"

[hollow beacon]

Hey so something just occurred that makes perfect sense. Can we have an outline around who our target is to kill so we dont accidentally kill the wrong person?

[shy oriole]

With blind ducks the whole point is that you have to figure out who your partners are, and without blind ducks, you can't kill your partners either way?

[ivory locust]

Hampster isn't talking about killing other ducks necessarily...

[plain bough]

somnii just wants to kill his teammates...

[ivory locust]

"Wrong person" could mean any other player that wasn't his target.

[plain bough]

yep. like say there's two people standing on either side of you, same distance apart, and you wanna kill the one on your left....maybe?

could always just stand in them though that can be kinda hard when the whole group is running in circles

[shy oriole]

Hey I just don't discriminate - I kill all equally

[mellow iris]

having the highlight would also ruin the canadian goose ploy of circling around someone trying to get killed instead XD

[plain bough]

Maybe, maybe not

It might just make them that much more annoying and thus more likely to be killed

[sage galleon]

Setting Idea: Task Win %
This setting lets you adjust the percentage of tasks that must be completed in order for the Geese to win. By default it's 100% as it is currently, but you can lower it if you're having issues with some players in the lobby not finishing their tasks.

This suggestion is in response to having several games where the taskbar was sitting at like 95% completion for 10 minutes and players getting really annoyed. In one of them I was duck and I ended up just losing patience and gave myself away.

[hazy pivot]

We will be putting anti-grief measures in future updates 🙂 We're sorry this happened to you

[sage galleon]

Yeah I was duck but I couldn't kill because everyone was just chilling in one spot since they were all done with tasks. Argh

I was just like, "Ghosts please just finish your tasks and end the game. I should've lost by now."

[elfin cipher]

Personally, I prefer never having task wins. They're just boring and don't bring a real sense of winning. Much better to win the game through voting out the ducks.

[mellow iris]

In games like that I usually, if i'm duck, just stab someone in plain sight

[sage galleon]

Tasks are important for keeping the players spread out and also imposing a time limit for the impostor. Yes task wins are not that satisfying, but they’re necessary for the exact reasons said above.

I would rather have a task win than have a game drag on for 10 minutes.

[elfin cipher]

I'm not saying that tasks aren't important, just saying that task WINS shouldn't be the aim. And if you're playing in a lobby that tries to drag out games like that, just leave, they're not making it fun for anybody involved

[sage galleon]

Task wins are important for keeping a game from dragging on for too long. Once most tasks are done, players will naturally just chill in one room to keep the ducks from killing. That isn’t something that you can blame the players for

Also, as for certain players not doing their tasks, currently all it takes is just one person to have this sort of scenario play out. In a 16 player public lobby, this can be a major issue. Especially when you may have a new player who is still learning the game, and thus has a valid reason to be taking forever.

Giving a small amount of leeway for slack can allow task wins to occur when they’re needed.

And if you still want task wins to be rare, you can always increase the tasks per player.

As long as it doesn’t take just one person to keep a task win from happening.

[slow valley]

I think a few easy ways to put this to bed would be:

1. Show/hide checkbox for where you enter the code, so you can enter it hidden.
2. Pressing the join game button without entering a code attempts to join from your clipboard.
3. Game option to default your lobby code to hidden.
4. Anyone joining a lobby with a hidden code also has it hidden by default.

The 4th one might already be implemented.

[proven grotto]

so i'd like to tell an idea,

so can we earn gold coins just by completing a game,? or atleast jut by winning

gold coins are really ahrd to earn, and parts too

plus it would make people PLAY WAYY more games and WAYY more members

because on a constant streak to grind gold cois

[ivory locust]

Gold is the only way Gaggle earns money to pay for game and voice chat servers. If they made an easier way to get gold in-game, they would have to put a price tag on the game.

[slow valley]

You buy gold coins to support the game developers.

[proven grotto]

people are also broke :D

[ivory locust]

Then enjoy the free game! Did I mention it is free?

[elder vapor]

I think this game provides plenty of opportunities to earn stuff in-game without having to spend money, it's just an optional extra to speed things up or to support the team who made it

[shy oriole]

Paying for gold supports the team who made it to some extent, but in all honesty that money goes back into upgrading the game, and keeping it alive & free for everyone. The servers used to host vc isn't free

[trim pumice]

they should do like you private chat someone

in meetings

[hazy pivot]

?

[trim pumice]

Like you do chat in meetings

there should be a setting where you do something to privative chat

so like you can talk with your lover/teammate who is a duck

even though with vc

for a non-mic people

like me

[ivory locust]

I think this would be too OP.

Host a game, and then above the map area there's an explore button if you want to just check out the tasks

[jovial oar]

oh ok

[granite wave]

Having a friendlist would be nice 🙂 Also since there are generally not many rooms i would appreciate the find game option to show all regions at once maybe 🙂

[coarse forge]

Would be nice if we could right click a name in meeting, and that would pop up the volume control for that player 🙂

[frank night]

A friend list is something we will likely add after the full release to Steam. But it is definitely on our radar!
Also showing all regions is coming soon I believe but not sure when yet

[granite wave]

Thats great! Will be looking forward for that!

[scenic ember]

Can u make it that ghosts can hear alive geese talking cuz it would be funnier if we hear them and more enjoyable watching them

[shut musk]

Idk if this is a new idea or not, but I would love a duck chat, to make communications easier.

[sage carbon]

Proximity chat and chat at meetings is where you can communicate. There are risks involved in revealing that youre a duck

[shut musk]

ok

[slow valley]

Is it possible to integrate the game with Discord?

https://support.discord.com/hc/en-us/articles/115001557452

It would be nice to know who is in which lobby, before joining. There are quite a few people who I enjoy playing with, and it would be nice to join them rather than the current method of "try the latest code and see what you get!

It would be nice to see the current status of codes posted in the #lfg channels, without the poster needing to edit it.

I realise this is bringing the LFG channel closer to the in-game "find game" screen, but we know how public and private games differ in terms of quality, and the private games have VC enabled. To be honest, I don't ever plan on looking for public games, and I didn't in any other games in this genre.

[hazy pivot]

We will eventually be looking at adding a friends list and make a really easy way to join games where you favorite players are playing. 🙂 We want to avoid relying on third-party software as not everyone is comfortable using it to play. The whole experience should and will be contained within the game itself. In the future there are also plans to create hangout rooms/lobbies that you can customize!

[slow valley]

This makes sense. You've already integrated VC into the game, so this does make Discord somewhat redundant for game matchmaking.

I guess this is just me being used to this way of finding/playing games, since I'm familiar with another game which doesn't integrate VC and relies on Discord servers to be playable, which now I think about it isn't a great way to do things!

I guess I should add that Discord integration may still be a nice addition - I use Discord for most of my online / gamer friend interactions, and being able to see what they are up and being able to join off them from Discord is nice.

[hazy pivot]

We also have a patch coming with 18 colors!

[slow valley]

Where's the promo video

[scenic ember]

what do u think bout it?

[topaz mason]

there should be a confirmation before you block someone

i often find people accidentally click block, forcing them to leave the game

[sage carbon]

it currently won't work with the medium, but it might be something we revisit after the medium rework

[jovial token]

it could be cool if in Europe servers the outlets (in tasks and such) would be European and in America it would be American

[sage carbon]

that would be cool, but it might put extra load on our systems to have two of every map forever

[mellow iris]

And i do wonder which european outlets you would use, i know when i lived in italy there was like 3 different kinds of outlets

[hazy pivot]

I think we can cancel the third map and just go and do the outlet thing?

@sage carbon Thinking of adding a longer kill cooldown at the start of Dine and Dash, seems people just want to kill someone even if it means losing the game 😦 I had higher expectations of reservations.

Maybe 45 second Kill cool down start, except for the falcon

add an extra 3 seconds to the time per player

[sage carbon]

We have to let people sit in it for a while

Learn the error of their ways

[hazy pivot]

But what if they never learn?

[slow valley]

Can you cancel the second map and add UK outlets please?

[hazy pivot]

We're going to cancel all the maps and just make a mobile app called, Different outlets

you can choose which ones you want to plug into

there will be ads

[slow valley]

This sounds like a "wires" task duty

[chrome cliff]

Can you guys provide a detailed map for the current available maps but with location names on them? You guys have highly detailed maps already but labeling them with locations would be helpful to help players learn maps.

[hazy pivot]

You mean as a still image?

[chrome cliff]

Yeah!

[hazy pivot]

@ocean cypress can you snippet the maps?

[chrome cliff]

@hazy pivot are you cool with me sending you something as a reference?

[ocean cypress]

Just threw a couple snippets in #📁︱templates-resources for ya

[chrome cliff]

Perfect!

[chrome cliff]

would it be possible to have markers for vents?

that can be a whole separate thing.

[dusky cipher]

A better explanation on this dine and dash game? I wish I could specify more, but I haven't played a game that lasts longer than 2 mins

I died within 15 seconds, did nothing, and still managed to win so I don't get it

[shy oriole]

Well there's two teams, so even if you die, you might still end up on the winning team ^^
DnD can be pure chaos if people fire on sight, with a random outcome, but there are also strategies you can put in place to try controlling the outcome. All ducks are morphlings, and have the same cooldown for it, which many use to determine if they are on the same team or not. You can compare cooldown timer, and when it's up you can morph to prove yourself. You gotta be careful though, as the falcon/ vulture might fake the cooldown timer, however they will have to kill or dash before the timer is up, or they'll be revealed... possibly 👀
Ducks can group up and purge the map, the falcon can reduce the numbers of ducks, or if they find the vulture, protect them. The vulture can eat bodies to reduce the timer (the blue team wins if they survive until the timer is up), though exposing themselves is risky...
Dine and Dash is not a game of chess. There are strategies to use in this game just like any other, but more than anything it's a chaotic killing spree, that clears the sinuses of any stuffy lobby!

[thin atlas]

Can we get "Max # of neutral roles" settings for lobby so if I set ? to every neutral role but i want only 1 or 2 max in-game, which can be any role i put ? to. Now it might not matter that much but it would be good for future when there will be more roles.

[sage carbon]

@thin atlas Definitely something we'll look at

[granite wave]

What if it was possible to trade coins or other rewards with players? But with a limit so a mistake won't happen.

[gentle sluice]

Currently you can purchase coin or cosmetic combination packs and gift them to other players by using their gaggle.fun account email in the shopping cart when you check out.

[shy oriole]

How about putting number of ducks on questionmark.... 👀

[gentle sluice]

Oooh ? + blind. Nice!

[shy oriole]

Right? I'm really liking this idea... let's have all the chaos (^~^)

[zinc lotus]

I had a mild idea/question, is there a chance to get a dead chat for those that died already so those that dont have a voie (such as myself) are able to talk to the other dead?

[sage carbon]

@zinc lotus that is on the to-do list

[zinc lotus]

nice, and maybe a sound when someone in chat types.

[hazy pivot]

There is a sound 🙂

[zinc lotus]

i guess the group didnt hear it

thank you so much!

[warm wolf]

Maybe have a gamemode preference setting so you can play in lobbies where they play the mode you want to play?

[sage carbon]

would we take ou the ability to change game modes in lobbies then

[warm wolf]

maybe put the gamemode thing in the menu where you make a game and choose a map

[sage carbon]

yeah but if you care more about choosing lobbies that have the game mode you want, then you can't have people switching anymore right?

we'll definitely take a look at it

[worldly sand]

I think having lobbies be able to switch is better, so you don't have to create a new lobby every time your friends want to swap gametypes.
Most games to my knowledge don't boot the lobby to swap gametypes.

[waxen galleon]

I genuinely think the more options you can have in the lobbies themselves the better. I hate having to switch lobbies because someone wants to switch maps, you end up losing someone during the switch. The same can be said about game modes... If our game went from 10 people to 6, I think people would rather just log off than make a whole new lobby to switch from classic to goose hunt for a few more games.

A good middle ground could be fixed game modes for public lobbies vs private lobbies having any options you'd like.

[burnt helm]

Is there any chance that we can get a count on achievements? Like # out of/total?

[sage carbon]

@burnt helm if you're playing on steam, it lists the number of achievements you've accomplished as well as the total for GGD

[burnt helm]

Nice, thanks, Herbert.

[sage galleon]

I have a suggestion on how to make the ghost gameplay better.

Allow ghosts to hear each others’ farts.

I guarantee a 500% decrease in players leaving after dying with this feature.

[sage galleon]

You can already switch game modes in the lobby.

The only thing you can’t change after making a lobby is the map.

[ocean cypress]

I am curious to see the data set that guarantees this 500% decrease in players leaving after dying. Theoretically if we were to add the sounds and this guarantee is not met, do we take the farts away completely?

[sage galleon]

It’s a guarantee because that is a vast underestimate.

[shy oriole]

Interesting how the amount of players leaving exceeds actual players! You guys are so impressive. Chris, you can't argue with the math! Shawn might be able to though.

[gentle sluice]

[waxen galleon]

I was referring to the discussion in the 4 posts above mine.

[twin flare]

maybe make it that you can sell materials for gold and silver

[hazy pivot]

Maybe for silver 🙂

[twin flare]

ccol

[sage galleon]

I have another idea that could really take this game even further

The ability to customize your fart sound!

If you do this, GGD will be game of the year for sure.

And imagine the money the devs would earn by locking the fart sound options behind gold coins

[elder vapor]

someone might want a deep, mature sounding fart

[sage galleon]

Make one of the options a slide whistle!

[elder vapor]

other people might want a high pitch lil toot

other people might want a silent but deadly lil puff of air

lmao

so bizarre

[sage galleon]

Also would want a tim allen fart sound

https://youtu.be/KnsiZOJjfUg

This one too https://youtu.be/nYwAHURPQ-s

[gentle sluice]

[royal mauve]

Not sure if this has been proposed, but a chat feature for dead chat when noones using mics would be cool

[sage carbon]

on the docket

[royal mauve]

Awesome

[grand dome]

I think ghosts should be able use intercom but instead of voice it it is a spooky 'woooooo'

[mellow iris]

The problem with that is someone who hasn't been confirmed dead yet could use it, giving away the fact they were killed and making it harder for the ducks
