[worldly sand]

Perhaps if only the dead could hear it.

[grand dome]

Maybe you can only use it after a meeting is called with you dead. Hmm making it harder and harder to code this

[mellow iris]

which is kind of pointless considering the dead already have general and not proximity chat

I just see it not really bringing anything to the game myself, but others might see it differently

[grand dome]

Oh I got it the medium can see it

So dead can intercom but only Medium Goose sees it, even if they are not using their power.

[tribal kelp]

a button ghosts who died before the current round started could press.Players in the kill radius would hear it.just an idea 😄

[coarse forge]

A counter for the Volture that shows how many bodies needed, and bodies eaten would be great 🙂

[sage carbon]

it'd definitely be helpful, but i think counting up to a maximum of 5 is within reason for a skill floor for playing the vulture

the formula is # of players / 3 rounded down

[coarse forge]

just reporting what I hear and feel 😉

[sage carbon]

fair! thanks for the feedback

[outer heath]

Achievement trackers? Like, how many tasks you need to do to get the achievement? Overall progress quality of life.

[sage carbon]

@outer heath you can see that on steam

[outer heath]

Oh thank you, I didn't know that!

[eager root]

better servers so people don't get disconnected

[grand dome]

More things to do while dead and all your tasks are done like a mini game on the TV set

[chilly mirage]

Potentially have unmute key should undeafen for voice activity.

[sage galleon]

Players leaving on death will drop to 0% real quick if you can play this while dead.

Just change the t-rex into a goose and you're good to go!

Wait wait, no, an even better idea

[granite wave]

Instead of "Lover Ducks" It should be called "Lover Swans" hehehehe

[sage carbon]

the lovers are first and foremost geese/ducks!

[granite wave]

A spectate button for ghosts to see everyone without having to leave there spot

[trim pumice]

Ok i think if the fowl play is added

there is a setting for example ejection on like if u eject someone they say if they're murder or not'

so if a duck kill a duck they should say who died and if they're roles duck or goose

And wait...is fowl play a 1-3 goose vs 16/15/14 ducks?

if not ignore this idea

[vernal fable]

How about an in game 'waiting room' for when you try to join a game already in progress? sort of sits you there and joins you up to that game when the current round ends, maybe a queue to auto join people when someone drops in order, good for streamers with decent sized communities.

[hazy pivot]

This is something we may work on soon 🙂

[sage galleon]

Allow us to add multiples of one role for certain roles. So that we can make everyone sheriffs

in all seriousness though it would be nice to add more than one of roles

[ocean cypress]

Have you tried out the dine and dash game mode?

[grand dome]

Dine and dash games are just so short, pure chaos which is fun but no fun when you spawn in and die right away. At least you don’t have long to wait before it is over.

[hazy pivot]

We're making a change to it to rebalance it

The ducks will have a 45second initial cooldown

its now in everyone's interest to scatter to find larger groups as soon as possible otherwise the falcon will start murdering them

[trim pumice]

But the question is why is the use of morphling?

in dine and dash?

[hazy pivot]

A way for people without prox chat to communicate their role

[trim pumice]

Like it is 30 or 35 seconds

[hazy pivot]

and its also hella confusing

[trim pumice]

Oh

[hazy pivot]

gotta pay a lot of attention and people will get nervous and accidentally pull the trigger.

This is exactly what we want

[trim pumice]

Ok ty

[sage galleon]

I finally had a game of dine and dash that lasted longer than 20 seconds. Although after the game was over players still seemed confused on what was going on and requested to switch the game mode back.

[shy oriole]

(This fits better over at #📄︱feedback )

[drowsy iron]

Can we have it to where if you get murdered you can hear what people are saying if they are still alive, Ive honestly been in a couple of matches to where I'm curious what the living are saying during a match, we can hear them but they cant hear us

[mellow iris]

That would get confusing for ghosts talking to each other, and could possibly give away information making it harder on the ducks. I already get confused when i hear the intercom sometimes, thinking that person is dead too

[untold creek]

this just game up on my stream.. that if it was possible to Kill in a vent because mechanic can be so OP so if you are the duck. you can kill while going through the vents.

[mellow iris]

I know that's been brought up before and they have been batting around ideas on how to work on it

the problem i see with killing in the vents is then the body can't be found and the ducks would just be able to get in a vent and cruise around in there until they find the mechanic

the best solution, as far as ducks go, is to find the mechanic and kill them early

[shy oriole]

Yes, making them able to kill in vents would in turn make ducks too OP, but suggestions to work around it are always welcome ^^

[mellow iris]

I know i've made at least one mechanic rage quit because they showed me they could vent while we were in cargo, then i murdered them when they popped back up

[shy oriole]

Lmao, they do that at their own risk though

[vernal fable]

you could always make the mechanic auto pop out when they pick a direction, they get the movement advantage but can't hide, but visibility from vents is usually limited enough that if it's reached a point where they are hiding, they can't contribute useful information at meetings so it sort of balances out for the ducks

[vernal fable]

a fun alternative is only the killer can hear, tormented by the lives they've taken, trying to interact with living players normally while ghosts scream 'YOU KILLED ME!' in their ear

[mellow iris]

I've seen plenty of ducks get outed because they happened to come out/go into a vent that the mechanic was in

[worldly sand]

Or the killer can kill someone who is in the vent when the killer is out of the vent. The body then appears outside of the vent.

If that is changed, then I'd suspect sheriff or vig would get the prompt too

That way a mechanic can't be 100% safe in the vents, and the killers could avoid detection a tiny bit more as long as they check to see if they can kill before jumping into a vent

[midnight brook]

Mobile port?

[hazy pivot]

On the way 🙂

we're waiting for approval

[midnight brook]

Ooh!

Yay!

[nova salmon]

Can the "game end graphic" show both geese and ducks, so I don't have to try to figure out who is not in the image? Maybe main image with winner and smaller image with losers.

[teal condor]

Maybe the duck can see if there's someone in a vent? (even though they're outside?)

[mellow iris]

that would at least keep you from venting into the same vent

[sage carbon]

this is the risk you take when you vent

i hear feedback sometimes about how mechanics are unstoppable late game, or how after everyone is done tasks they start grouping.. think preventative!

try to kill to not get to that point

if a mechanic does nothing but hide, their tasks aren't going to be complete.. and if they have been doing their tasks, then maybe you should be putting more pressure on them as a duck

[mellow iris]

catching the mechanic when they pop out of a vent is always a rewarding experience

[mint plume]

i personally unvented in the airlock .05 seconds before they triggered the release, nothing like hopping out and getting inta sucked into space

[slow valley]

I guess Ducks can't kill a Mechanic in a vent if they are in the same vent? This was a cool mechanic in the modded versions of another (similar) game which I used to play. It make it more risky for the Mechanic to "camp" a particular vent - the Duck-equivalent players would get a kill button and be able to kill the venting-goose player inside the vent, with the body showing up outside.

[sleek lava]

are you guys going to keep the pride shirts after june? why not

[hybrid spruce]

can you add proximity chat to public pls?

[sage carbon]

@hybrid spruce we're in a bit of a test period seeing how public players use the voice system in meetings

[hybrid spruce]

Ok

[sage carbon]

hey @timber grail

i will ban you if you paste that again

[sage carbon]

@hazy hornet hey, please dont spam

[sage carbon]

stop posting images @hazy hornet

[hazy hornet]

ok

[granite wave]

Hi

[shy oriole]

Hellooooo

[coarse forge]

have you considered making the GGD playable from a controller handset? I can move my player but not do anything (space, E, R, tab etc)

[gentle sluice]

have a chat to TsuFunk - he plays on a controller, from memory?

[tropic quarry]

Playing on steam you can map your controller to keys

[coarse forge]

Great! Worked like a charm! 🙂

[royal root]

don't know where to post this but server booster role in the duckscord. I want to stand out

[wide topaz]

Any New trailer to promote the upcoming map anytime soon...

[sage carbon]

nope

we'll likely have a new patch today with 4 new roles

and the next patch after that will be the map

we're spending a lot of due diligence in making sure the new voice system will compatible for people with less powerful computers

[ocean cypress]

Done, you guys do deserve to stand out

[royal root]

ayee thank you

[shy oriole]

Pretty little boosters

[iron trout]

I don't know if this has been asked before but I was wondering if there are any plans to translate the game into other languages? I would be willing to work on the LatAm Spanish version if you decide to do so

[shy oriole]

This will probably be implemented at some point in the future ^^

[iron trout]

Oh nice!

Take this as my way of saying hit me up when you're actively looking for translators lmao

[main tulip]

[split kayak]

Idea:
Map walking.
Basically automatic walkign with the map, using the most effecient way to a place. This only works with tasks, though. So no walking to the button automatically in the most effecient way.
Or to the sabotage.

And: The walking immobilizes you for 0.5-5 seconds depending on the game setting if you want to make a risk with it.

[tranquil mango]

Squeeee! Did you mention anywhere what the new roles would be? Will the update be out today?

[sage carbon]

nope!

and yes!

the roles are the professional duck, the spy duck, the mimic goose, and the detective goose

[tranquil mango]

much excite!

[main tulip]

the mimic is gonna be fun

[ivory locust]

Is it

[main tulip]

spy duck will be too

[tranquil mango]

where can i get a description of the professional duck? i don't see it in prospective birds?

[ivory locust]

I was too distracted to take advantage of the Spy's ability the one time I got that role during beta testing.

[tranquil mango]

you were distracted during a game, Alex? that doesn't sound like you at all

[sage carbon]

he is a master of stealth

anyone the professional kills leaves a corpse that is invisible to geese

[tranquil mango]

ooooh is it a one off thing like cannibal duck?

[sage carbon]

no, every kill

[tranquil mango]

ooooooooh

[sage carbon]

and if a goose comes across one of these corpses, they auto report them like the canadian

the professional also cannot report bodies in general

wait how are you able to post gifs in here

[tranquil mango]

uh.... idk!

i just clicked the gif button and typed in master of disguise lol

lol I deleted it.

[golden moth]

I know the colored names have been a problem, so it'll b fixed in the next patch, but I think ppl who tried them think its pretty cool. Mayb we could have an option for colored names, but rllllllly light colors (like pastel) so it wouldn't interfere with game play? Adding on to this, the role colors would override the colored name thing like how in discord the top role color would show.

[ocean cypress]

This would create a issue with colourblind folks like myself. We choose colours based on the best colour pallette to be suitable for all visions

[golden moth]

ohhh i didn't take that into mind

[rancid bay]

The settings that you set while hosting a lobby should save after you leave it.

[ocean cypress]

we do have this on the board! Thanks

[rancid bay]

Is there a list of things that have already been suggested?

[ocean cypress]

not at the moment because honestly majority of the things, we've implemented before posting a list can probably take some time to post a list

[wet basalt]

Can we get transparent PDF file of the logos and maybe some game images (a duck, a goose, etc) for overlays, stream alerts, etc.?

[coarse forge]

you can read the description in the #live-birds channel 🙂

[sage carbon]

they are very stealthy

[coarse forge]

Would be nice if you then could save several setups 🙂

[stray elm]

You already have Star Trek like uniform in the shop, how about some Doctor Who outfits?

[ocean cypress]

#🎩︱cosmetic-ideas

As of now everyone has access to the computer to see what the current lobby settings are, only host can modify them

[wet basalt]

It ain't much, but it sure beats googling it in game. Maybe we can get an official one by someone who is good at graphic design?

[mellow iris]

I mean, you didn't do a bad job on that at all

[wet basalt]

☺️👉👈 thanks

I am trying to figure out if I can include the strats from #live-birds on the 8.5x11 sheet. A little roles "cheat sheet," if you will.

[sage carbon]

That's not a bad idea

[coarse forge]

like an ingame F1-CheatSheat 🙂

[mellow iris]

could be useful for players that don't remember things as easily as others to be sure

[coarse forge]

yes. And maybe even grey out the ones that are chosen to off in the particular game... Or an icon showing if its selected/off/?

[tranquil mango]

At the time I asked, it was neither in prospective or live birds. That's why I only asked for info on that one and not the other three :)

[coarse forge]

Yeah, I just answer anyway in case others were reading and wondering about it too 🙂

[wet basalt]

omfg, yes

[wet basalt]

that'd be me

[wet basalt]

omg, so many good ideas

[wet basalt]

You can probably tell I just screen shotted the description from the game and tried my best to lay them out nicely. I did cause my girlfriend and I were having trouble remembering roles. I am trying to figure out if I can include the "strategies" in #live-birds but it is a lot to fit on one page. I am not a graphic designer, but I'm sure if a GD could beautify it for sure! That said @coarse forge's suggestions are amazing as well. This community is awesome.

[vivid badge]

Could use a voice chat option where when a meeting first starts there's a short window (maybe 5 - 10 sec adjustable via lobby options) where whoever called it is the only one who can talk to give them a chance to state their case without immediately being talked over.

[gentle sluice]

this can be achieved with just establishing game etiquette/expectations before clicking start game. Most private games work this way well.

[vivid badge]

That's a lot harder to maintain in a public game, especially since you don't know how people will act until after the game has started. Having an option that can be enabled (or disabled) just gives the lobby owner a tool to enforce a short courtesy period after a meeting call for the person to speak.

[edgy sluice]

it would probably be better if the host could choose how long of a time it is and make like a new phase, i.e., it goes from "caller" phase??? to discussion phase to vote phase or something like that.

[nova salmon]

in vc games, who ever reports or calls the meeting gets 10 seconds with everyone else muted before others can talk. add this as an option perhaps.

[sage carbon]

Sageheart just suggested this right above you

And you two wouldn't be the first either, it's definitely something we'll consider

[nova salmon]

sorry for repeating

[chilly mirage]

Idea:
Allow re-mapping of push to talk to keys other than T. Hard to walk with wasd and press t at the same time. M is easier because it's right hand instead of left hand. But that would benefit from allowing the user to remap in settings as well.

[ocean cypress]

Key binding coming soon 🙂

[still jackal]

Has manual host changing been suggested? It would be cool if, as the host, you had the option to give someone else host, instead of playing the lottery once they leave.

[thorn blaze]

Has anyone ever thought of how cool it might be if bodies left blood stains on the floors even after being reported? I think it would be cool. Just putting it out there.

[open sandal]

Maybe there could be a way to save your settings for the game? As it takes a while to keep changing the settings every game you host.

[gentle sluice]

This is on the list of ideas for future versions. At the moment you are still playing early release 🙂

[vivid badge]

I'd like to have a vote confirmation, I've accidentally voted too many times

[sage carbon]

That's something to consider

[elder vapor]

but then i won't be able to panic-vote in the last one second

I mean... i totally don't do that. who does that? not me

[rancid bay]

I have an idea. You can see who the impostors are as a goose ghost.

[ivory locust]

And then the medium gets an easy win!

[rancid bay]

Oh, yeah. The medium exists.

[waxen galleon]

It's not a bad idea once the medium rework is in place.

You can see the proposed rework in the #850063497877913630 channel.

[rancid bay]

I have an idea for Blind Ducks. An option to make ducks enemies. Only one duck can win so they will try to find who the other ducks are and kill or vote them out.

There could also be a team mode where there are 4 ducks with 2 ducks on each team.

[sage carbon]

The former could work

i'm not sure how you could really identify your partner in the latter idea

[rancid bay]

You could see who your duck teammate is.

[coarse forge]

Could change the name colour pr team, and all the ducks could see it, but not the geese?

[trim pumice]

wait guys....if we want hide and seek mode...we can do it in classic...

more tasks

ducks are blind

and...AVOID PRESSING THE R BUTTON

[chilly mirage]

Idea: When hovering or clicking on role coin at the top, show details of current role.

[white dirge]

Idea: make it possible to trade items and coins.

[sage carbon]

@white dirge to what end?

[white dirge]

GMD microchips for example are very rare, and then you'd be able to buy the limited cosmetics. because they disappear after a while, I think

[mellow iris]

I've found more than my fair share of them myself, just a matter of playing the game really. I don't really see the point either

[mint plume]

I could understand a personal crafting construct, say you break down a microchip and get 2 slimes and 5 gears... or you combine 100 gears to make a microchip -- but I only see this being useful after many more "craftable" items / visuals are made --- but really that would only help with badluck rng

[mellow iris]

Being able to craft components like that would make a lot more sense. Trading for coins just doesn't make sense to me, if you're talking silver coins, those are easy enough to get by playing, and if you're talking gold, how are gaggle supposed to keep the game free? O.O

[gloomy tangle]

I am fine with the way the game currency is handled. I think its awesome you can get gold from achievements and Silver can be easy to come by especially if you are watching streamers with drops. I know I always keep mine enabled. The only think I would like to see is more craftable items, and gears to drop easier. For some reason gears hate me. XD

[waxen galleon]

Can we have a tooltip of what our role does if we mouse over our icon? I mean I don't need it, but I know it would help others.

[sage carbon]

we've been in talks of maybe putting in a button to pull up a guide to roles that are potentially in your current game

that was previously suggested

[jaunty root]

When dead and proximity chat is on, ghosts could hear those alive talking when nearby - this would allow ghosts to feel less left out from the game once they're dead and be able to be in the loop.

[mellow iris]

It would also clutter up dead chat and be a bit confusing. I already get startled on occasion when someone uses the intercom and i can hear it while dead

[jaunty root]

That's why it would only be if you were close like with proximity chat and could possibly be quieter than the ghosts

It could possibly even be something that could be turned on in settings

[fluid hornet]

A Bomber duck who has two abilities 1. He can place a small invisble bomb to that only ducks can see and when someone walks over the small aoe around the bomb it detonates killing everyone in said aoe, and then 2. Can attach a bomb vest to anyone from across the map and after 10 seconds it blows up. This duck wouldnt have a kill button or be able to vent to slow this duck down

A Radar goose who can put a senor dart or some kind of device somewhere on the map and whenever a kill happens in the sensor darts aoe it gives only the radar goose a notifaction of some sort letting them know a kill has happened there and after the cooldown they can place down a new one which also would destroy the first one to balance this goose

[mellow iris]

There is #🐣︱classic-role-ideas for more role specific ideas for the game, and you can also see ideas they are currently mulling over, like the demolitionist duck, similar to your bomber idea in #850063497877913630

[gloomy tangle]

This would be awesome. I have a mod who plays in my streams that basically tells new people that come in what the roles are and how to play the game. Lots of times new people will forget what those roles do.

[sage carbon]

It's a good idea. It's really just a matter of priorities and resources

[jovial ridge]

With the Addition of the Mimic Goose, could there be an option to randomize the number of Ducks? This way people cannot just "Meta game" by knowing how many ducks there are supposed to be in the lobbies?

[gloomy tangle]

Randoming the number of ducks sounds amazing actually.

[jovial ridge]

I just know in the games I play normally you as Mimic have to Vote for yourself constantly, or turn off Spy Duck as they check every other duck first when the "Number" does not match

[sage carbon]

It's an interesting idea.. but that's up to you, the spy, and whatever meta your group is playing in

i'd be worried about how granular we got it. with your settings, could we get 1 duck and 1 mimic? for example

[gloomy tangle]

Oooh thats a good point. I think I am just kinda drawn in by the chaos perspective of having a random number of ducks. lol

[jovial ridge]

Well I mean make it so that the room could be set to have One to Three Ducks, and then when Random is on it will choose one of the 3 numbers. Mimic is enabled as random so in a round when it pops up it lessens the chance of people knowing there is a mimic unless of course the Random number is 3 and the Mimic is in which would show 4 ducks. And Even if there is no mimic it adds a fun new twist that there always could be one lurking.

[golden moth]

Sometimes ppl don't know if their mic is working or if sound is picking up, so mayb a lil place to c when ur sound is being picked up would b nice? In lobbies u can c if it works when the name glows yellow, but in game u can't check.

[jaunty root]

Yeah that sounds useful - or just get the mic symbol in game to light up when you're speaking

[sage carbon]

@jaunty root in game, that might have issues w/ the morphling

[jaunty root]

if you mean the reply to Ruru then I mean the mic symbol that only you can see that indicates whether you're muted or not. And if it's from earlier, I'm not sure what you mean.

[sage carbon]

oh you mean locally just for you?

[golden moth]

How do u get it to light up in game?

[jaunty root]

yes

[jaunty root]

like how your name lights up in the lobby but its the mic symbol at the top (I think?) that you check to see if you're muted or not, that lights up when you speak instead (to clarify this is a suggestion not something that has been done yet)

[golden moth]

O i misread lel but yEAA i was thinking the same thinggg

[elder vapor]

While we're on the subject just gonna bring up.... when people are talking during meeting, it isn't noticeable enough... the tiny yellow mic icon is extremely hard to see and figure out who is taking or who said what... especially when multiple people are talking.

I feel like knowing who is talking, who said what, is super important. for example, if someone says "i'm mechanic"

I always wonder. Whelp, idk who mechanic is. idk who said that. mic icons aren't noticeable 😦 It makes the game so much harder for me, not knowing who is who or who said what...

[ivory locust]

I agree with this.. sometimes I hear vital information and I scan the screen to see which of the other 15 people said it, but I don't always see who it was.

It often leaves me asking who said that.

if I'm a duck asking "who said they were the medium?"... and then the medium turns up dead... it looks kinda bad for me.

[elder vapor]

^ exactly.... I have to really concentrate to try and see who said it, it's so difficult. and exactly, as a duck it's so sus to ask "who is medium"....

Please I beg you guys, make it more noticeable who is talking during the meeting. Make it more than just a tiny yellow icon. Make it noticeable!! 😭

[sacred dock]

agreed

also add it in the lobby because some people micspam there and i would like to immediately mute them instead of muting everyone one by one to find out who the micspammer is

[still jackal]

The micspam and echo can get bad

Could we get a task that gasses security, to prevent camping?

[elder vapor]

from what i've seen, the camping in security isn't much of a problem unless the ducks are slow at killing and therefore everyone completes their tasks and has nothing to do so they just stand around there

[mellow iris]

slow killers=geese finished tasks with nothing better to do

[sacred dock]

so you mean instead of a goose victory the killers would be exposed

[haughty wadi]

Only recently found this game and have been loving it!
One suggestion, it would be great to be able to increase individual player volume to 200% - Sometimes one person is really quiet and instead of turning everyone down except that one person, it'd be great to be able to turn up a single player's volume above 100% 🙂

[rose vapor]

mods - @ shampoo is spamming this. They were also in another large server I moderate and did this constantly. Can you remove the message and take appropriate actions?

This is just a general idea for the Discord, but maybe we should have a bot to report users like Shampoo#6636 who spammed a phishing link in almost every channel.

[ivory locust]

In the game's settings, a player is able to amplify their own voice. This is a newer feature since many had been asking for the ability to raise certain players volumes.

[trim pumice]

Imagine farting instead of killing as a duck...

that will be a bit funny way to die

[ivory locust]

Imagine not farting while killing.

[trim pumice]

Ok

[ebon crane]

Suggestion: Each Looking for Game have a Under 18 and above 18. and some exceptions. because we have been having some issues with some users and they are claiming they are mature but really are not and under the age of 18.

[hazy pivot]

Putting over 18 and under 18 will not solve this unfortunately. if they lie to you about being mature, they will try to lie about their age.

What is interesting is that everyone younger than 18 wants to be 18 and everyone above 18 wants to be closer to 18

Until we have premium servers we have no way to segregate younger players from older ones. We hope to continue to increase the tools that players have in order to make the game more enjoyable for everyone.

[mellow iris]

I think i'd settle for being in my mid 20s again XD

I was kind of a dumbass at 18

[hazy pivot]

"closer to 18"

[shy oriole]

You? Neeeveeeeeeer ❤️

[elder vapor]

Can I be 18 again pls

[hazy pivot]

No

[elder vapor]

mean 😦

[hazy pivot]

No this is literally how time works. You can't ask to go backwards.

https://tenor.com/view/neil-tyson-degrasse-neil-with-it-deal-with-it-gif-11704500

Well I mean you can ask, the answer is just "no".

Surprisingly the best age according to a worldwide poll is actually 50

[elder vapor]

you're assuming space/time travel doesn't exist

maybe i just hop in the microwave and i'm 18 again

who knows

[hazy pivot]

As someone who studied Engineering in school (aerospace with a specialty in propulsion and quantum mechanics) I can definitely say that space-time travel can "exist" but your microwave is not the way to get there.

[elder vapor]

hmmmm... fine, your credentials check out. I think you're qualified to turn down my microwave theory.

Perhaps a dishwasher instead

just scrub the years off? it makes sense

[hazy pivot]

Right now the closest thing we have to taking years off is Botox.

On another note i think teleporters would be cool on a map, for all people to use including geese

[hazy pivot]

You mean that

[elder vapor]

I guess so, maybe, possibly, i have no idea. Do I mean that?

[crude lava]

i recommend working on updating and improving the tutorial because recently i tried to get a friend into the game but all the roles were confusing and overwhelming and the tutorial did not help much.

[hazy pivot]

We are working on it as we speak.

[crude lava]

oh ok

[hazy pivot]

We released 14 roles in 50 days so we're doing our best to keep up.

I like the idea of a spectator mode (for hosts?) but I feel like for a ghost to be able to scroll to the player of their choice might mess with the medium role... for now. Cool idea for sure tho.

@granite wave

[granite wave]

oh thanks alex

[hardy latch]

14 roles...

Holy smokes... I am terrified.

[ivory locust]

Better get some practice in!

[chilly sand]

So I was wondering and I guess it's a suggestion/question lol. I think it'd be cool if you were able to minus out the game or switch windows easier, but I'm guessing there's a reason that you can't normal exit without quitting?

[hazy pivot]

alt+tab?

[chilly sand]

Yeah I was jsut wondering since that doesn't work unless you've already opened something seperate from the game and have it ready to switch to, it might be nice to have an easier way so you don't have to quit the game to do that

[waxen galleon]

You can uncheck the fullscreen option to play in windowed mode, allowing you to minimize the game whenever you'd like.

[chilly sand]

oh, thanks : D

[hasty galleon]

You can always press the windows key to bring up the start menu and select an app

Tho i recommend unchecking the fullscreen box over the windows key

[still jackal]

Alt+Enter will quick-switch into windowed mode.

[ionic ingot]

They should add Goose Goose duck on mobile!

[ocean cypress]

The team is getting closer and closer to this! Mobile is coming soon 🙂

[haughty wadi]

Thanks for the response 🙂 I appreciate the addition of allowing players to amplify their volume, but I still think allowing people to amplify the volume of others is valid (and very useful). You can do this in Discord voice calls (increase other user's to 200% volume) and it's often really useful, especially for streamers who don't want to constantly interrupt discussions to ask players to adjust their volume, and instead want to manage player volumes themselves. The only way to do it currently is to turn each person's volume down except for the quiet player. It's not critical/urgent, but I still think it's a valid suggestion.

[lost igloo]

hey dude

Number 8 in #rules

[slow valley]

Can't wait for the next 14 roles on or before August 24

[shy oriole]

Do you want to break our poor devs 👀 with a new map, the upcoming mobile release, and a whole new theme in the works after this, I'm not sure I'd ask them for another 14 roles on top of it...

[slow valley]

I mean, it's a joke, but, sure 😉

14 roles is pretty insane, thats some serious dedication!

[scarlet coral]

So I recently played with someone who purely speaks using the quack sound effect.
I added that sound effect to my soundboard, but then, I wanted to imagine what it would sound like slowed down.
I envisioned using audacity to slow it down, and then so I did. I expected it to go quaaaaack, but it actually wound up sounding like a bunch of quacks.
Then I played it for someone in-game, and they suggested cutting a portion of it where it sounds like a laugh and also suggested pitching it to you guys to play when a duck wins:

[hazy pivot]

We should be able to add in a bunch more over the coming weeks

[sacred dock]

imagine the laughing quack gets added

all the authentic goose sounds and then this

[trim pumice]

There should be like a host can select who will take his place

[shy oriole]

This has been suggested and is on the list of things that might be implemented in the future (it's just not a prioritized thing atm)

[trim pumice]

Ok

[ionic ingot]

When is it going to be released on mobile?

[sage carbon]

@ionic ingot Soon!

as in much sooner rather than later

[hazy pivot]

We've been waiting for approvals mostly.

[lucid plaza]

Will you folks do what Among Us is doing? Introducing vent tasks that prevents ducks from using particular vents.

[ocean cypress]

We're going to keep doing our own thing, we have new tasks (and other stuff) with Nexus Colony, getting ready for Fowl Play, lots on the way

[trim pumice]

wait fowl play is like 15 ducks vs 1 goose?

[hazy pivot]

Fowlplay is 16+ ducks

No goose

just duckery

everyone killing everyone

but you need to be careful who you kill

[trim pumice]

oh...

then who do ducks kill?

[sullen lance]

It's like a free-for-all type game mode

[trim pumice]

oh

is it possible for 2 only

or 4

[sullen lance]

I wouldn't know

[trim pumice]

Well...I'll be waiting for it'

[hazy pivot]

Every bird for themselves, > up to 16 players.

Killing the wrong person has consequences

Survive until the end to win

[tame bone]

@ocean cypress , I thought I heard some Twitch streamers last night talking about playing the Nexus Colony map later today. Did I mishear or is the new map dropping today?

[trim pumice]

Ig me and my brother will be 1v1ing

[hazy pivot]

unlock cosmetics for other game modes by being good

[gentle sluice]

The Nexus map is currently under beta testing! It’s pretty and has some neat new tasks and features. Keep an eye on #816356997564727367 to know when it goes live!!

[waxen galleon]

I'd stay tuned to twitch tonight...

[strange gyro]

would it be possible to start other players' volumes at 50 so individuals can be turned up or down accordingly? Instead of having to turn down a whole lobby for one quiet person for example?

[waxen galleon]

I'd probably check twitch now.

[tame bone]

Very cool!

[opaque dragon]

2 parter:

• like everyone else a deadchat when you die or still playing.

-when you are medium would be nice to chat with dead while still playing the game (not in voting window ) but not too OP example: could chat with the dead for 1 time use for a certain amount of time and the chat widow will close back up. Since its rly hard to do medium role and see ghost for just 10sec when they arent rly near u and hard to rly communicate with them

[elder vapor]

I think they're trying to stay away from any contact with the dead at all... its overpowered, even already the ghosts are kinda able to tell the medium who the duck is

[ocean cypress]

Dead communicating with the living will always be "____ killed me"

this is why we avoid it, we are going to be reworking how the medium works

[opaque dragon]

oh sweet c:

[cerulean siren]

i think we need noise suppressor -_-

[willow sky]

Might be nice to add a translate button

[ionic ingot]

When is it going to be relesed? You know witch month.

[ocean cypress]

when is what going to be released?

[ionic ingot]

The mobile game

[ocean cypress]

We're pretty much just waiting for final approval. Its approaching fast!

[hazy pivot]

Yes this is in the pipeline

I assure you the "T" key shouldn't require you to bend your hands like a bloody yoga model

🙂

[ocean cypress]

@hazy hornet please do not spam the chats

[trim pumice]

What if we added a feature that one of the pets can increase the chance of finding materials

[hazy pivot]

We could do that

We wont be adding pets until we release the next set of maps though

[trim pumice]

Ok

[ionic ingot]

Is the mobile game almost done?

[frank night]

It is almost there yes

We are just waiting for the review process to finish, then probably a little bit of testing but it is 99.9% ready to go

When we know we will let you know

We are aware some people are waiting eagerly for it and we can't wait to release it

[viral jasper]

Feature Request: Got this submitted to Better Crewlink originally, but can we have Push to MUTE? The Opposite of Push to Talk.

Works easier for certain streamers who forget to hit a button to talk to the game, but would rather hit a button to mute in game and talk to their stream privately. (push and hold instead of the current mute system)

[ocean cypress]

You can hit "M" to mute if you are on voice activity
"P" to deafen (and mute)

[viral jasper]

Yes, but I was hoping we could enable a key similar to Push to Talk for muting, where you hold the key and you're muted, but when you release you unmute

I forget to Unmute, but I would also forget to hold it to talk for the same reason.

I like to put the hotkey on my gaming mouse...

[golden moth]

I think it would b cool if there was a way to convert silver coins to gold. IK buying gold coins help the developers a lot to keep on going, so mayb a huggeee amount of silver for 1 gold coin?

[ivory locust]

@viral jasper so you're looking for a mute button that isn't toggled while on voice activity. This is interesting to me. I dont know if anyone has brought this up before.

[viral jasper]

basically... like I said, the exact opposite of PTT

[ivory locust]

I understand what you're saying... I just don't know if anyone has asked for this before.

Have you tried just being more cognizant of what you're doing while playing/streaming?

I stream, mod and play all at once and occasionally I accidentally leave myself unmuted ... but not enough to the point where I need an extra button.

[hazy pivot]

This would encourage people to try to cheat/farm. This is not in the spirit of our game.

[viral jasper]

I'm not saying it's NEEDED, but not everyone's brain works the same way. I got this same feature in Better Crewlink (Discord already supports it), and if I had it in GGD for consistency, it would help. Nothing ever wrong with more options, but no need to insult me in the process... If it can't be done, that's one thing, but I asked anyway...

[shy oriole]

I’m sure there was no intention to insult, just a suggestion. Like with most things, the more people who suggest something, the more likely it is to be implemented. Lots of requests are repeated, but you are (to my knowledge) the first one to suggest this.
That doesn’t mean it’s a bad idea, however it’s probably not something that will be prioritized. We appreciate your input regardless! ^^

[viral jasper]

I know, it just sounded like that from @ivory locust ... No worries either way.

[ivory locust]

No, I just think adding more and more to the game kind of subtracts from it.

Just sharing my personal opinion. Whether or not it'll be implemented into the game, I just feel personally as though it's not needed.

[ionic ingot]

Is the mobile game STILL 99.9%?

[ocean cypress]

Waiting to get the thumbs up from the mobile stores. When we have either mobile or a date of release, we'll post in #816356997564727367 and socials. We're pretty much playing the waiting game. In the meantime, we'll just keep making content

[opaque dragon]

2 dif options
1: an setting option to adjust your farts pitch from lower to higher
or
2: in shop buy dif fart sounds like robotic fart, higher pitch, lower, animal sounds ect and when you can enable the fart sound like how u can enable other cosmetics

[past nebula]

at the end of a round it would be nice if there was a role reveal so you could see what everyone is? maybe a popup tab in the waiting room

[drifting meadow]

or a role reveal for the dead if there's no medium/medium is dead! like have it say on meeting screen roles

[trim pumice]

if the medium random or off probably

[hasty galleon]

maybe have a way the host can change the map from the console in lobby

[magic yarrow]

I'd like the ability to change maps in game!

We've heard that request and we're working on it!

[tiny pagoda]

A popup that you can see your role in a meeting just in case you forgot or didn't see before the first one

[cinder quail]

Add lobby honking

Lol just a suggestion

[sage carbon]

You can also just wait until the meeting is over to see

I think as you play more and more it will be ingrained in you to check

[tiny pagoda]

Yeah I know that but I thought it would just be nice for the newer players

[hazy pivot]

I think at a point less is more. Cluttering the screen with your role at every point will become more annoying to experienced players. At a certain point we want people to focus on their role while playing at the top.

If they miss this, and die or lose as a result they will likely learn not to do it.

Keeping our UI as simple as possible for the task at hand is imperative.

[tiny pagoda]

Makes sense

[ember geyser]

Change Lovers to Swans. Don't really have to say anything else.
nevermind the thing below me is better

[gentle sluice]

Except Swans is a new species and the lovers can win either with the geese or as themselves depending on the final meeting And whether the lovers are Goose goose or goose and duck

[tidal beacon]

When Duck it would be nice for the sabotages to appear red and fake tasks yellow on the map. First time playing new map and very confusing

[shy oriole]

There is an explore mode you can try out to learn some of these things ^^

[blazing solstice]

an option in settings to automaticly switch geese to flashlight mode whenever the lights go out?

[ivory locust]

I agree that it could be a little confusing or overwhelming for a new player to see the huge list of real and fake ship duties as a duck, dodo, vulture, or pigeon.

[lost igloo]

mimic can vent? it would be op but I am just expressing ideas

[cunning ibex]

Hi I wanted to ask about a certain task on the new map, there was a task where dropping fish food was a thing, i was curious if it would be possible or if its a good idea to add a visual thing, like when the fish are fed, some fish shapes would be visible moving in the water for a short time

[sage carbon]

This would increase the survivability of the mimic way too high

[lost igloo]

yeah lol that's why it's op

[sage carbon]

? Mimic cannot vent

I'm not sure if you're suggesting it as an idea or if you think it can currently vent

[lost igloo]

No I'm saying if it did have vent abilities it'd be op

cuz you could play like a mechanic or choose the risky route

[sage carbon]

Ah

Well we don't really want to change roles to make them op

[lost igloo]

yeah understandable

Pigeon is super OP in small lobbies

[sage carbon]

It's pretty strong for sure. I'd suggest not including it in small lobbies

Including lovers in small lobbies is probably a bad idea too

[safe shadow]

My suggestion is a simple one - for the settings to stay the same each time I host a game! As a streamer it can be frustrating setting everything up every time. Other than that we love this game - and it has replaced among us within our community 🥰

[hazy pivot]

We are looking into creating a utility to save game settings

Its not as trivial as one would think

Especially that our game settings dynamically change based on the number of players.

[safe shadow]

We havnt played the new map yet - we play Saturdays - so excited 😍 I can’t wait to see what you guys implement in the future 😁

[hazy pivot]

We have another role coming before then too

so you'll likely have two new roles to enjoy

[trim pumice]

ooooo what and what...

[outer heath]

More prices settings

Like, more precise kill cooldown settings

[gentle sluice]

#live-birds - currently as censored text 😂

[sage carbon]

dont spoil yourself folks

[tropic quarry]

It has probably been suggested numerous times but a grace period at the start of meetings (10-20 seconds perhaps) where who ever called the meeting can talk would be amazing. My biggest complaint is people talking over the person who called the meeting and we end up nowhere because of shenanigans. It might be worth considering. :)

[hazy pivot]

This has been requested

we may make it a meeting option

[crimson cloud]

Hey! A cool QoL idea may be to change the duck map/mini map colors to differentiate fake tasks vs sabotage activation spots. maybe red for sabotage?

[outer heath]

Is there a way to add it so that after every game, a random map is chosen?

For the lobby

Like you finish one game, go back to the lobby, and a new random map is chosen

Just so you don't have to remake the entire lobby and reinvite everyone

[magic yarrow]

I'd like the ability to change maps in game!

We've heard that request and we're working on it!

[outer heath]

Oooh gotcha gotcha

[night otter]

ok i am sick and tired of people talking over me when i report a body so i was thinking that maybe in the first 15 or 25 seconds only the person that reported can talk

[shy oriole]

This has been suggested several times, and might be implemented ^^

[night otter]

ok

[magic yarrow]

Can you implement a feature where the person who hit the button or reported a body has the sole ability to speak for x amount of seconds before anyone else does?

We've heard this request and are considering it.

[low lion]

Since you already have the functionality to show player roles, can you have it so each player can see their own role in meetings while alive? I can't tell you the number of times I've forgotten mine and wished I could see it during the meeting.

Also, can you explore a map as duck? This would be nice and I'm not sure if you can currently do it.

[hazy pivot]

ok

[hazy pivot]

you only get one "ok" per day.

[granite wave]

what does tp sabo do?

[ocean cypress]

while the teleport is sabotaged, the display next to the teleport will go from "Safe" to "Low", "Med", or "High" which represents the danger level of using the teleport

[granite wave]

and high is like defo kill?

[ocean cypress]

high chance, not a guarantee

[hazy pivot]

We don't believe in guarantees

[granite wave]

ok

[lost igloo]

maybe ducks could open the shuttle door mid air it's a kamikaze but it would be super funny lol

[golden moth]

yesss

[sage carbon]

there's already a shuttle sabotage

[blazing solstice]

A confirm quit application, not to big a deal but i find when trying to return to menu my brain automaticly presses quit application.

[zenith abyss]

could we get a tracker if you are duck when you are dead so you can follow them as a ghost and see if your buddies do a good job?

[zenith abyss]

could we get a number counter on vulutere with remaining bodies and pigeon for remaining pewople to infect?

[sage carbon]

@zenith abyss its part of the skill cap for those respective roles

[zenith abyss]

okay thats fair

[still jackal]

@zenith abyss SOME sort of indicator for the pidge, at least

[zenith abyss]

yeah

[shrewd pewter]

If you infect a player his name becomes orange

[outer heath]

If a pigeon had an indicator

With a 5 seconds cooldown

The game would end really fast

This way the pigeon has to pay attention and remember who they sneezed on

Because if you have a 5 sec cooldown, and be able to see who you infected, it'd require literally little to no effort to do anything,

In my opinion \o /

[tiny pagoda]

Well as pigeon can't you not sneeze on someone you haven't sneezed on

[sage carbon]

@still jackal @zenith abyss You guys have to understand.. literally remembering whether you've already sneezes on someone is the only skill involved

like literally at all, with the pigeon

there is nothing else to inform your decision on where to go

if you keep touching the same person over and over and they notice and call you out on your pigeon-ness, that's on you

[rich dagger]

TBH i don't even try to sneeze the first round and just do fake tasks. Unless it's a small lobby.

[sage carbon]

and it's quite similar to the vulture

like you think knowing that you're at 1 body is going to help

but what are you going to do? not eat bodies?

if you were of the mindset of slow playing vulture such that you would have a better chance later... well i'd guess you would be skilled enough to not bother asking for a counter

[hazy pivot]

If anything I wouldn't stop the prevention of sneezing on someone twice

to increase the skill cap of the pigeon role

[raw flume]

Tracking button and effect:
-The button can only be used by sheriff and detective geese
-only geese that kill ducks only can see (including vigilant)
-can track any goose or duck
-the will be not aware (optional)
-it will last till duck is killed or left and when a meeting starts
-a countdown will start after the duck's death or after meeting
-countdown is 10-20 second

[flat thicket]

I hope this is the right place to put this suggestion. I would love to able to filter the public lobby by voice/no voice the same way you can choose for maps or game modes.

[sage carbon]

that is a fair suggestion

[quiet solar]

I was gonna ask this since I only play in no voice games and talked to random people in games and they also prefer no voice games

[hazy pivot]

It will be in our next patch

[sage smelt]

Add emojies/emoticons in game sparkles something beautiful that the game will be ​charm and magical cool voices and duck/gooses voices. If you had the things that I have stated sorry for any inconvenience.

[hazy pivot]

We having farting emojis

The ducks have no voices in game 🙂

neither do the geese.

[sage smelt]

Most likely, but it will be able to be developed. Or anything that I type will be developed?

[hazy pivot]

We will not put in voices

[sage smelt]

Alright.

Thank you, sir.

[plucky laurel]

I am sure this is has been requested before, but emotes other than farts. the one below could be thinking or something. I really don't know I just thought it looked cool in the promo art.

[hazy pivot]

We want to prevent people from using emotes to communicate in games without prox chat

[sage smelt]

When voting people add invisible votes so people will not know who did you vote and suspect you make the game more harder.

[sage carbon]

that's an option called colourblind voting

[rich dagger]

This is already an option in the settings

[near sapphire]

there is a mode that allows the votes to be colorless

[sage smelt]

Alright.

Thank you guys.

[outer heath]

Idk how this eggsactly wortks but

Can pets be seen by other players during a game

And so how much of a downside are they to you when you are playing as a duck/something sneaky

Because if they do kinda make it easier for you to be spotted, can there be a setting so only you can see your own pet in game?

[hazy pivot]

Nothing, the pet is only rendered if they can see you, the moment you're off the screen your pet vanishes

[outer heath]

Oh that's perfect

[hazy pivot]

and the pet has to be in line of sight

[outer heath]

Ty ty

[sage smelt]

Add that you can close doors in the game so when you kill people will not enter the room in a few seconds. Also, add vents to do the game so people will be able to escape when they have murdered someone.

[hazy pivot]

There are already vents in the game

Door closing is a sabotage already in the game

[sage smelt]

Alright.

@hazy pivot Because Ronen is confused that he doesn't know how to vent or close the doors in sabotage

most likely explain to him.

[hazy pivot]

You go near a vent, and hit left-shift or click on the button

[outer heath]

Is the possibility of having more than 8 tasks a thing? As a setting?

Like, you can hit a setting and geese have to do every task twice or smth

Or even maybe a task practicing area, where you can go to a map and repeat any task infinitely, to practice

[hazy pivot]

This is not an option righ tnow

There is no where to practice tasks

[wooden hamlet]

i play with a group of people and the mix is like 8w/mic 2-3 without, i love that i can talk to the dead while im dead but would be awesome to be able to talk to the dead that doesnt have a mic. so an in game chat for only dead would be nice

[frank night]

We already have this during meetings using text. We may at some point add it during the game too for ghosts but not sure when if ever atm

[onyx osprey]

Suggestion: You know how our names light up when we talk in the lobby? They should do that in game, too, and also during meetings (not just the speaker symbol) because when I play w/ people I don't know so well, it is hard to catch who is saying what. Or, if there is a way to put a speaker above player's in game, too, and show a mute symbol for people who have no mic, too, or it can light up, idk.. you guys are the geniuses here, but some way to know who is talking in a group when you don't know voices.

[hazy pivot]

We would have to take our the morphling then 😦

We have come to this crossroads, and we've decided against it as in the future we're planning to do some interesting things with voice chat.

[onyx osprey]

would it still be an issue if it was just a speaker that showed up when people spoke? like it does in the meetings?

[hazy pivot]

Yes, the morphling relies on no one knowing which one is which

if the voice of a player turns on and it doesn't match the player the morphling's cover is blown

[rich dagger]

If I have a distinctly low voice and my goose avatar walks by talking in a high pitch, they're toast

[onyx osprey]

oh, that's why the morphling needs to be quiet! what if there was an auto mute on morphling while morphed?

[rich dagger]

I feel that is part of the skill cap for playing Morphling. If you get busted once that way, you won't do it again

[hazy pivot]

I also like to morph into quieter players 🙂

[rich dagger]

Or if your group likes to roleplay, maybe make a mockery of the person you've morphed into before you kill the goose

[hazy pivot]

Ive even see people go as far as record other players and play them back through the mic... This rarely works

[mellow iris]

being automuted as morphling would totally ruin me morphing into someone and making a quip as i kill them as themselves

[rich dagger]

"Look at me, I'm Xizta, RUDE RUDE RUDE I LIKE TO BUILD SNOWMEN" etc

[rich dagger]

"Well well well, if it isn't my own worst enemy"

[hazy pivot]

@onyx osprey As much as it would be nice to ID the voice, we think it takes away from the gameplay and clutters the UI

[onyx osprey]

I feel like morphlings should jsut breath heavily into their mic anyways

ah.. see, I'm just trying to see who is saying what while I play. Maybe when the game is further along then?

[hazy pivot]

I like to say, Guess what?

before I kill them as someone else

[fiery aurora]

Dun dun dun!

[mellow iris]

But if you know people's voices you can identify who is near you, if you don't, well that's part of the deception

[onyx osprey]

so what i'm hearing is.. by not having this, it is better for the game to just constantly be going "who said that?" and not knowing what's going on during the game that relies heavily on communication/deceit. lol. got it.. I shall play with a fake accent from now on, too! and switch my voice for every interaction

[mellow iris]

why not? chaos is the name of the game

[onyx osprey]

I am okay with this..

[fiery aurora]

Everytime I join a public game with voice enabled it just ends up being Chaos

[onyx osprey]

gives me a chance to work on my voices, lol

a whole new strategy! I appreciate being heard in here though, so thank you!

[rich dagger]

I tend to stick within a certain group of friends I play this with, picking up a few new voices along the way. After you've played a few rounds with a lobby you'll generally have a feel for who are the big talkers and who likes to keep quiet.

[mellow iris]

I really love that the dev's take time from their busy day to read and reply or consider ideas. It really is a community driven game

[flat thicket]

Yay! Thanks!

[mellow iris]

probably should go in #🐣︱classic-role-ideas

[outer heath]

Yeah sry, i missclicked the channel

[mellow iris]

lol it happens

[outer heath]

Idk if this is a good idea or not

But obtainable items that increase your chances of getting a specific role?

[mellow iris]

like in town of salem

[outer heath]

Kinda yeah

But maybe it worked like pets do

It increases your chances for 3 games every day

The issue would be that it'd break the mystery part of the game

People wod start basing their logic off of that

Would*

[mellow iris]

definitely possible yes

[outer heath]

But it could be cool I guess

My addiction to the dodo role is showing

[opaque mauve]

add integraton for this program https://dixper.gg/home

[frank night]

I'm not entirely sure, but this is mainly content creator based functions. Dixper itself takes over your input and screen. It isn't something the game creators actually add into the game.

[opaque mauve]

Ahhh ok. Because there are game specific Categories I thought there might be special permissions or something needed. Like there is an Among Us category and you can control when someone kills or stop them from moving. Just thought it would be cool to have a GGD category

[frank night]

I believe these are only affecting the streamer, I don't see any SDK for a developer to use. So I think it is a creator thing

It also looks like you play via a stream being played through the browser after the game play is captured. This is how they manipulate on screen elements. I think they are all either made up by the Dixper company or by creators

[opaque mauve]

I just downloaded it last night and haven't done more than dig around the website a bit. I will be adding this soon and see what happens. thank you

[sage carbon]

@opaque mauve I know ferrumdraco has been busy with some real life stuff lately, but it might be worth it to talk to him

i know he has dixper integrated with his twitch channel

[night meteor]

probably has already been suggested, but daily challenges would be kinda cool that could reward a small amount of coins/crafting parts after completion.

[sage carbon]

@night meteor We have definitely considered the idea

[outer heath]

How about titles for completing certain achievements?

[rich dagger]

There's already unlockable cosmetics for certain achievements, but it might be neat for progressive title unlocks for the achievements that are for doing a certain thing 10/100/500/1000 times, etc

[brittle tartan]

How about the pigeon being able to see who they've already infected?

[ocean cypress]

this has come up alot since its release, we've considered it but determined it would be too easy for the pigeon to win if they had a visual indication of whom they've infected. Not having the ability to sneeze on the same person twice is sufficient

[brittle tartan]

What about proximity chat for dead geese only in public lobbies?

[outer heath]

Is it possible to have your pet follow you when you are a ghost?

[magic yarrow]

Can I get a visual indication to see who has been infected?

We don't have any plans to add a visual indicator that someone has been infected, for either side. For the non-pigeons, it'd likely be too strong. You'd be able to identify the pigeon if they infected you. There is also a risk-reward gameplay dynamic where players have to judge whether or not it's been too long since a meeting has been called, and whether the pigeon has died.

We think the pigeon might be too strong with an indicator. Whether or not a player has been infected is the only part of the skill cap of the pigeon that determines their actions. Remembering who you've infected is part of being a pigeon, and worst case scenario, you can walk next to them again. The pigeon can only infect someone once during before the next meeting is called.

[sage carbon]

@outer heath

we eliminated this

[outer heath]

I feel like this infect thing should be pinned by now, so many people ask xD

[sage carbon]

(pets following ghosts)

[outer heath]

Oh why

[sage carbon]

nobody reads pins, thats why we have this handy bot i add commands to

i'm not sure! maybe it was because it destroyed lower end computers

[outer heath]

Oh yeah that's fair enough

I can imagine people lagging

[outer heath]

A ping pong esq task

Where you bounce the ball to break blocks?

[rich dagger]

Like Arkanoid?

[sage carbon]

Breakout

[rich dagger]

Breakout is to Arkanoid as Among Us is to Goose Goose Duck

[outer heath]

A sabo that prevents geese from doing tasks??

It doesn't get fixed it just lasts for a set duration maybe?

[hazy pivot]

This takes away a lot of choices for the geese.

If we prevent them from doing tasks they'll have no choice but to congregate near the sab repair 🙂

[zenith abyss]

i would say we need something more/else to do when dead like a minigame or something

[shy oriole]

I know there's already a task on the TV, but seeing how there's a game console there I'm a little disappointed one of the tasks isn't a mini game. Clearly this would be consequential to running the spaceships 👀
Anywho, Shawn, when is GGD coming to Tamagochi?

[honest parcel]

What if instead of geese and ducks all species are renamed to Herbert's and Shawn's

[shy oriole]

That's the tutorial you silly

[honest parcel]

But I wanna be spy herbert

[keen cradle]

Is there an in game friend request system in the works?

[ocean cypress]

Some kind of friend system is definitely on our list of stuff we want to add 🙂

[cobalt void]

I think it would have to be heavily map dependent obviously so not sure if it should be in here or map ideas but it would be really hilarious to include a sabotage one day that causes like air vents to open or something that blows strong winds down hallways forcing the birds in directions or something of the sort.

I wanna see some birds flyin'.

[lavish creek]

how i can unblock player

?

[lost venture]

OMG. The Full Pupil Avian looks possessed.

[outer heath]

Gas Leak:

Starts leaking gas from pipes causing you to see other characters as completely different characters.

Other people's sounds become muffled and unrecognizable.

[unkempt junco]

Gas Leak:

After 10 minutes all players will fall unconscious and die due to toxic colorless gas that no one can detect ending the game

[sage carbon]

Nikki's gas leak is probably a better option, since people might not enjoy that losing games suddenly and in an undetectable manner

[fiery aurora]

I can't tell if this is something you are encouraging or discouraging.

[hazy pivot]

We definitely like to create interactions between players

But forcing players to group is not something we want to do as a game mechanic.

Sometimes players naturally do it; that's fine. Experienced players will avoid it.

[fiery aurora]

I have played a significant amount of Among Us and a reasonable amount of GGD (which I now prefer) and from my experience even if a sabotage is about to- yes exactly.

[vocal glacier]

Maybe a mic/no mic filter when looking for games?

[trim pumice]

I have a idea

The ducks when the game becomes normal they see each others role

like they see a duck a profissneal

or a morphing or spy but idk if lover duck gonna be allow but anyway

but if the blind ducks on or mimic goose they dont see the ducks role so a mimic goose can blend in

Ik this is a bit dumb and that but still I like sharing ideas

[trim pumice]

or this will not be added

[sage carbon]

i dont quite understand the setup here gamer

[sage carbon]

we're considering it

[trim pumice]

I meant like when the game started and your a duck and no mimic role or blind ducks you see the roles of ducks as a duck

but if mimic role on the mimic role can blend in

and blind ducks might be ez

so when blind ducks on no role reveal to ducks to the other ducks

and the mimic goose role on you just blend in with the ducks without worrying they might expose cus of this feature

Like for example imagine aaaaalex and me and winkzzz

aaaalex a morphling I am a spy and winkzz a silencer so I dont need to use my vote on them to see who they are

unless mimic goose on yes

[ivory locust]

It's true.. I am a morphling. I want everyone to know it.

[trim pumice]

Ok...

[kind talon]

if you still dont understand i can try and explain it in a different way that you might understand

[ivory locust]

I feel like it's pretty clear.

[kind talon]

i disagree but everyone thinks differently and such and so forth

[fiery pine]

make a random role setting so that nobody knows what roles they are looking for in the game when trying to get other people's roles.

[tame bone]

This is already in the game if you toggle each role to "?"

[fiery aurora]

I would prefer a priority system on the roles. Like guarantee Canadian, Vigilante, and Sheriff, but if more people join the lobby then they would be the rest of the selected roles.

I know this is similar to the ? System, but you can have all of the roles be ? And no one gets a role.

[ornate knot]

as an option setting roles to a priority with a player threshold would be awesome. always guarantee certain roles, only open up others as the lobby reaches enough players... automatically remove lower listed roles if the lobby loses players....

[fiery aurora]

Yes. Exactly. Mimic duck is a death sentence if you don't have enough players for 2 ducks, the medium duck was basically useless with low players (although it's getting reworked), and pigeon is basically a guaranteed win with low players, there are other roles like this too.

All of these roles I like, but without enough players they either don't reach their full potential, or they are overpowered.

[outer heath]

I really only have mimic duck on if we have 15 players

ANd only if we have a spy

A way to make short clips of what you did in game? .3.

Like at the start of the game you can get a button to start recording?

If people get cool kills they want to share and what not

[tame bone]

I was just thinking about using twitch to stream privately and save clips of funny / awesome moments to share / talk about after the game. This could be a simple workaround.

Rather than re-implement twitch clips in game.

[frank night]

You could always save using windows
Windows + Alt + R
This might be able to save clips for you

[outer heath]

Idk pc stuff :(

I'm a boomer

[frank night]

https://uk.pcmag.com/operating-systems/86044/how-to-capture-video-clips-in-windows-10#recording-in-the-background Read through this

[tame bone]

Did not know about this windows feature. Thanks, Darren!

[outer heath]

What if ducks could see ghosts? as if being haunted

Or they could see ghosts that they killed

[sage carbon]

they'd be able to affect the game, however minutely

like leading ducks to people, or stuff like that

[blazing python]

can we add discord ideas too or just the game?

[sage carbon]

Go for it

[blazing python]

okie, if possible i think it would be a good idea to have more general chats for like different languages and maybe one to talk about merging games since we aren't supposed to talk in the looking for group chats and i feel like some people aren't comfortable DMing other hosts

[sage carbon]

what language are you referring to

if you check the other lfg channels, i think you'll find that we've been relatively lax relative to the #lfg-english-over18 channel

[blazing python]

ah, I didn't realize, people kept telling me I wasn't allowed to message in there unless its related to sending a code for a lobby

[sage carbon]

it's mostly the #lfg-english-over18 channel where there are a lot of people at once, and everyone taking liberties with chatting in there will cause it to get flooded

whatever other language channel you're using, you'll be fine for a while, or at least until we get vastly more popular with that demographic

[hidden fern]

Actually being able to see who you've infected as a pigeon

[magic yarrow]

Can I get a visual indication to see who has been infected?

We don't have any plans to add a visual indicator that someone has been infected, for either side. For the non-pigeons, it'd likely be too strong. You'd be able to identify the pigeon if they infected you. There is also a risk-reward gameplay dynamic where players have to judge whether or not it's been too long since a meeting has been called, and whether the pigeon has died.

We think the pigeon might be too strong with an indicator. Whether or not a player has been infected is the only part of the skill cap of the pigeon that determines their actions. Remembering who you've infected is part of being a pigeon, and worst case scenario, you can walk next to them again. The pigeon can only infect someone once during before the next meeting is called.

[hidden juniper]

When the lover is voted out and confirm ejects is on you should be able to see both lovers shot out of the ship

[near sapphire]

achievement idea: surviving every teleporter danger level

[shy oriole]

The other lover doesn't experience the same death as the lover who's killed, so they are not actually shot out together with the other one ^^

[outer heath]

Is it possible to let ghosts do tasks during meetings?

Like, let them check if they wanna listening to the meeting, or stay in the map doing tasks

Since sitting in a meeting as a ghost doesn't really do anything

[sage carbon]

there's an upcoming role that will deal with this, if you think its an issue

[gentle sluice]

One lover is voted out. The other seeing this is heartbroken and cannot continue to be without them so self sacrifices to join their lover in the void

[outer heath]

Maybe ducks can kill people who are in the same vent as them?

[mellow iris]

Or you could just find the mechanic and kill them early on.

[cerulean stirrup]

Maybe also add a “ducks lost today” counter in the main menu?

[outer heath]

There's no way to "find" the mechanic, and if you do, they can just afk inside of vents...

And just venting in front of people a couple of times at the start insta clears you basically

[sage carbon]

well you could be a duck

there will be a mechanic added to the game shortly (likely on monday) where geese not finishing their tasks will be eventually kicked

[outer heath]

Oh yeah, that'll actually fix up mechanic quite well

Since rn mechanics just camp inside of vents waiting for someone else to vent

Or to catch a kill

[stone current]

What if there was a way to combine lobby’s in game

[zealous ocean]

Just an idea but when players die, the ghosts don't all look the same. So the ducks look like ducks and what not. It'd just be a cool little detail. Not sure if it was already suggested.

[outer heath]

It's gonna be optional I'm pretty sure

[elder vapor]

vent ejector role would be absolutely hysterical 😂

2 ducks and a mechanic pop out

or it could be just a goose role where they like, throw a smoke grenade in the vent or something so all get pushed out hahaha

any variation of it i would love

I will patiently await more info on this twiddles thumbs

[sage carbon]

lol, i mean i'll just outright say it

i'm talking about a role that assassinates in meetings based off of the target's role

I don't really think mechanic is that annoying to play against as some of you are saying, but if they were, the assassin would be able to target them if they were flaunting their venting willy nilly

yes, i understand

and thats part of the dangers of being a duck

actions you take as a duck have a risk if you'er found out

no different than killing someone in a corner vs in the openm

[hazy pivot]

I think the game is way too new and there aren't enough hours on people for them to really know the correct way to play. Even us, with 1000+ hours on the game find new ways and strategies that take a role's utilization to a new level.

[outer heath]

My only issue with mechanic is how easy it is to clear yourself

You just hop in and out a bu cha times and you are clear

But if a duck did it, then they cannot have any sus on them whatsoever

But the new updoot will fix mech so I'm happy

[hazy pivot]

@outer heath I would vote them off or vig kill them

its worth the risk

[outer heath]

See that's what I do usually

I am inclined to not trust anyone who vents and claims mechanic

Just in case of a duck

[mellow iris]

It is quite possible and I have done it on many many occasions.

[shy oriole]

It is very possible, because not every mechanic will jump straight into the vents ^^ Now that the possibility of getting kicked due to not carrying out tasks will be added, the mechanic can't just hole up in vents the whole game either

[mellow iris]

I'm not going to debate you on this because it is pointless and really goes nowhere, I've done it, that's it. Have a wonderful goosey day

[outer heath]

Have you guys considered mods for goose goose? Like steam workshop mods?

Where players could make stuff for the game

[hazy pivot]

We are going to enable Overwolf mods soon 🙂

[outer heath]

Ooooooh, Idk what that is but oooooooh

Mods are always exciting

[mellow iris]

It's a popular modding platform, well known for minecraft mods

[outer heath]

Oooh cool

I can't wait to see what kind of mods people create

[hazy pivot]

Problem with mods is that even if someone does think about an interesting feature we typically create it faster than most people would.

We want to leave integration and overlay mods to Overwolf 🙂

Game features will likely be all within the main application

[outer heath]

Ok so, I might sound very stupid, but I've no idea what that means #justboomerthings

What are "Integration and overlay mods" if you don't mind me askin'

[granite wave]

I would really love if the game do a test for micro on the game :3 because it's sound like my microphone is different from discord on the game but there is no way to check and would be helpful for test different micro for see with which one I can hear me better ofc it's just a suggestion I don't know if it's something easy to put in place or not

[hardy latch]

Cosmetics idea:
They should do it in contests so that the designer of the cosmetic gets recognition.
So that players can be part of the game in some way, that would be the coolest thing ever. The greatest card the devs of gaggle can pull right now.
Like they add the title, description and add - [Player name, made on Date]

Another cosmetic idea:

DUCK DODGERS! LET'S GO! Put Duck Dodgers costume in the game so that it becomes a meme.

[sage carbon]

we've considered a few similar ideas

[rich dagger]

Now that would probably get them a C&D

[fiery aurora]

I know the Gaggle team has a specific idea for how they feel the game should be played, but if they really want community feedback, it might be worth implementing a poll system.

|Example
|Role suggestion: Duck
|Explaination: can kill geese
| = I like this idea
| = I do not like this idea

[frank night]

I like the idea of a Duck that kills Geese

[hazy pivot]

I think we can let this happen naturally. What you're suggesting makes it sounds like we actually don't read everything.

[plain bough]

isnt there already a poll channel #polls

[fiery aurora]

There's like 2 things in there...

[hazy pivot]

The poll system will be used more in the future for sure. Right now we have a list of QoL updates and features we're still implementing. As we go along we get recommendations from the channels and sometimes things are repeated multiple times. That's how we know it's important 🙂 Using reactions wont stop people from repeating suggestions which is fine.

We also move so fast on good ideas from the community that pop up usually get implemented before people even react to the polls.

We know a great idea when we see one.

[trim pumice]

I hope there is a feature that if it has proximity chat then we add a chat that the no mic user like me can use the chat cus I hate how people who were new to me sus me cus I dont talk and some who knows me saying I dont use mic and I use chat

[shy oriole]

There is already a chat option for all games. Are you asking for a separate chat option?

[trim pumice]

yea like just like people using mic proximity they should add that type of chat when in the round but not only on meetings

Like ik u can use it like on discord to communicate when in range or stuff like that

but I still like the idea if that happens

[night meteor]

Can the Spy duck get role icons next to player names similar to when detective uses investigate on a player with the angel/devil duck? Lots of players like to make their name Goose; having an icon would help instead of changing the player's name.

Also I know it's super uncommon, but smart teams could just all vote themselves when they just want to skip early on which completely counters the spy who is already unplayable without colorblind mode on.

I really do think making the spy duck's power work during rounds instead of meetings would be a lot better and more interactive.

[shy oriole]

A spy duck is still a duck, so it's not unplayable, but I'm sure they are working on ways to improve how it works. Thanks for you suggestions, they are very welcome ^^

[night meteor]

Unplayable was the wrong word, they're just unable to use their power effectively. And I hope so, would love to see some changes because Spy is a cool role.

[hazy pivot]

Its being fixed in the next patch to ADD the role

@night meteor Spy is definitely playable with colorblind mode off... you vote with the grain to create suspicion on any other role that may cast a vote astray.

We've thoroughly tested it and the spy duck if played well is currently one of the more powerful duck roles if utilized well. Just because you have a role doesn't mean it should always work and it shouldn't work without a drawback. Otherwise we would need to take away other powers. It is still a duck afterall

[ivory locust]

@trim pumice If there was a text chat while playing, you wouldn't be fully focused on your surroundings in game, leaving You vulnerable to attacks and unable to focus on who or what is going on around you.

[trim pumice]

true

but people sometimes ask what role and I wanna wat role I am

like canadain

[mellow iris]

Telling everyone your role is not going to be the best idea very soon XD

[rich dagger]

Shhhh, it's better for them to learn themselves

[elder vapor]

everyone gonna be claiming dodo soon

"Oh hey Winkz what role are you?"
"Oh I'm dodo, you?"
"Yeah, same!"

[granite wave]

Or goose

[elder vapor]

true. everyone gonna be saying they're a regular boring goose 😂

"i mean, i'm a regular goose and i'm totally not technician at all but this sabo came from rec room. don't ask me how i know"

i think i'm just gonna start looking for the one role that isn't in the game and just start claiming that. yknow, as a preventative measure

[quaint island]

Choice of Random map

[magic yarrow]

I'd like the ability to change maps in game!

We've heard that request and we're working on it!

[atomic stag]

I think a cool idea would be to have the pigeon cooldown be a/an adjustable setting like kill/morphling cooldown because i like the idea of the pigeon duck however its too easy to win especially with the venting, and also it would make pigeon a viable role to have on in lobbies without 12 or more.

[torpid igloo]

Testing out how your microphone sound likes from in-game. To see if it's to silent or too loud. Because so far only other players can say that they don't hear you, or it's hard to hear you.

[desert island]

You should be able to hear alive players while dead in prox chat

[waxen galleon]

This would be cool, I already have trouble when people say something over intercoms while I'm dead and respond to them, forgetting they can't hear me.

[desert island]

Maybe have your role underneath your name like how you see others when you are dead

[outer heath]

More precise setting?

For cooldowns and what not

As well as an option to choose the duration of morphling duck's morph

[sage carbon]

this has proven to be too confusing for dead players

[sage carbon]

you don't see your own name when you are dead, and i think it'd be weird just to have your role underneath you. you don't really need to know your role when you're dead, and if you did, you would see it at the next meeting or at the end game splash screen

[sage carbon]

this is definitely an idea to consider

[outer heath]

You can also see your role at the top left

It has its own picture and name

[sage carbon]

you dont see it if youre a ghost

[runic cairn]

I wonder, is there a reason why player's names don't turn yellow with prox chat?

[sage carbon]

mic isnt picking up their voice

[runic cairn]

I mean in game when you're playing with prox chat, like walking around, unless it's just a bug on my end. Its hard to tell whos talking because they dont turn yellow.

[outer heath]

Add a black swan specific achievement

For getting a kill in the secret duck room

Or for dying in the secret duck room

[waxen galleon]

I'm all for achievements. I personally want 1K achievements.

[outer heath]

I loooove achievements

I kinda want achievements to come with titles

Ypu know how killing achievements have names

Maybe those names could become titles

Just smth to flaunt around

[waxen galleon]

I could make a list right now of at least 100 new achievements without even breaking a sweat.

[frank night]

We intentionally don't show who is speaking during a game, it breaks certain roles if this happened.

[still jackal]

You've probably heard it already, but birdwatcher is still pretty lame.... I would think they should have "normal" goose vision as is (or maybe low) THEN, as the active, have a LONG range flashlight.

As it is now, you have heavily restricted vision, and your active gives you baseline vision (through walls 🤷 ).

Also, maybe let the birdwatcher active overcome the lights sabotage.

[granite wave]

Well if you made geese vision high then you can see the walls and infinitely

[stray cloak]

A friend option with a friends list

[granite wave]

That is also a good point

[stray cloak]

Yep

[outer heath]

Add a diary mechanic, since spacemen usually write those in horror games

You get a computer task where you can write stuff in

If you get killed mid writing your text will get jumbled up

It takes 15 seconds to save it, ducks can interrupt these

Lights sabotage turns off the pc and deletes all

Similar to town of salem's wills

But more interactive

[sage carbon]

Oh you don't see it at all. Morphling would get outed

[magic yarrow]

You guys should add a friends list!

That is a common request, and we're working on it!

[outer heath]

Idea for flashlight vision

Make the flashlight follow your cursor

Instead of being right in front of you

[waxen galleon]

Not everyone plays with a mouse for movement, and especially with mobile right around the corner, this may prove difficult.

[devout grove]

Make a setting for it then. Weather the player uses their mouse or not.

[hazy pivot]

This gives a huge advantage to desktop players over mobile and non mouse users.

[devout grove]

Understadable.

[fiery aurora]

Maybe to alleviate SOME of the repeated ideas, you could have a channel dedicated to rejected ideas and the reasoning behind the rejections?

It might make it easier on y'all in the long run instead of sifting through repeat ideas to only approve or reject NEW ideas.

Or just walk in a circle with the current system...

[shy oriole]

walk-spin-walk-spin-it's-the-goosewalk-spin-walk ~~

[sage carbon]

@fiery aurora I don't know if you intend for this, or if its a cultural disconnect on my part, but it always feels like you are trying to offend with a snarky comment at the end

[fiery aurora]

I want to say cultural disconnect. I don't feel we will ever be friends, but I try to be amicable.

My suggestions are always genuine thoughts.

[sage carbon]

Good to know, because i just wanted to clarify that you don't come off as being amicable

this seems like a genuine question, so I guess I wonder what the second question adds to it, beyond trying to offend

same with this suggestion

perfectly reasonable, but then you add

[waxen galleon]

I personally think that if an idea is shot down because it doesn't currently work, doesn't mean it can't work later in the game's life cycle or someone has a slightly different take on something that had been overlooked to make something plausible.

I wouldn't ever want to discourage someone from making a suggestion for that reason. Though, it may not hurt to have a document somewhere for why certain things are passed up on, as we do have our bot that likes to discourage resurrection roles, that will likely never have a stance change on (unless it's game mode designed around it).

[hazy pivot]

Yeah I am currently ok with the number of repeat suggestions; it's why the bot is here 🙂 Sometimes people put a unique spin on things and that helps me think about things differently. Also, we sometimes read between the lines (our brains are running a million miles an hour when we read suggestions and might be filling in gaps of a broken idea to make it work).

[desert island]

I meant that during meetings, you would have a bit of text underneath your name(with a similar font and size to how you see others roles when you are dead) which would state your role so that you don't forget what role you are(which I do, and I assume others do too)

[sage carbon]

I believe it does say what you are, but only for private games

Although it would be a good point that there's really no reason for us to restrict knowing your own role in meetings to private games

[hazy pivot]

It definitely indeed does show your role in a public game 🙂

In the above example you can see that I am a "Duck"

I have no one to kill 😦

https://tenor.com/view/sadgecry-sadge-cry-gif-18423674

[waxen galleon]

Poor Shawn.

[sage carbon]

I stand corrected

[wheat summit]

Good morning,
As a duck can we call sabotage while moving?
Right now when you call a sabotage your player stop moving and it is suspicous when you are around people...
Allowing to call a sabotage while moving, i think, will increase user experince as a duck.

[radiant yacht]

that's why you'd have to hide while sabotaging though

[wheat summit]

and if i don't want to?

[frank night]

Can you not pretend your doing a task and trigger a sabotage?

[wheat summit]

so you basically restrict me to fake/do tasks if i want to call a sabotage

[outer heath]

Or play with goose vision dark, aka the best setting for goose vision

[muted anvil]

@everyone

[shy oriole]

The tag doesn't work ^^ Was there anything you wanted to say?

[sage carbon]

We think it's more balanced this way

[elder vapor]

someetimes i pretend i got stuck in the doorway (you know on the little ledge) just to call a sabo XD

[novel horizon]

can we have a honk button? similar to farting, but honking :)

[trim pumice]

hey can we bring back:room's name :D

[sage carbon]

Nope!

[trim pumice]

my disappointed is immeasurable and my day is ruined

[lime nacelle]

hey guys
How do I change lobby settings as a host?
I click the things but they dont respond
maybe i am doing wrong or is that some bug

[shrewd pewter]

you use the computer in the middle of the lobby @lime nacelle

[outer heath]

Ability to gift players items

Like hats, clothes

Farts

[trim pumice]

pets?

[outer heath]

I might wanna do sum giveaways

Yeah peys too

[sleek mirage]

Adoption be like

[trim pumice]

[sleek mirage]

Just operate an underground pet store

Sell endanger animals like pandas

[near sapphire]

so basically black market

[outer heath]

But yeah

I wanted to do some community giveaways, but we can't giftt

[hazy pivot]

We can generate codes for silver/cosmetics etc

Reach out to our team

[outer heath]

I wanted to do like a game night, and people who played wvery game with us had a chance to win smth

To get people playin'

[shrewd pewter]

i think when lights sabotage is called, cams should be turned off, because there is no electricity with that sabotage so cameras won't work

[hazy pivot]

We can look at putting this in a future update

its a good idea

and I agree, we just havent gotten around it

[shrewd pewter]

yes and the point of the sabotage is to not see around you but you can use cams to watch people run around the map

[outer heath]

What about the sabotage disabling teleporters and transits

In the new map?

Lights sabo that is

[near sapphire]

the problem is light sabo would be kinda op at that point

[shrewd pewter]

i agree

[outer heath]

True

What if ducks could "undo" the ca. Era task to turn them off?

Camera*

[near sapphire]

doesnt communications do that

[outer heath]

No like

So a goose would have to do the task again

[near sapphire]

oh you mean the task that active

[outer heath]

To turn cams on

Ueah

Phone keyboards suck

[near sapphire]

I have seen a lot of ideas for things like that and it would make a good idea maybe

[shrewd pewter]

i think that would be like a hacker duck role

[near sapphire]

that just gave me a idea give me a sec

[shrewd pewter]

you're welcome :3

[near sapphire]

ok

[outer heath]

Have you guys considered locking certain roles behind certain maps

Like certain maps would have unique new duck and geese roles

As well as new neutrals

[hazy pivot]

This will happen in the future for sure

[outer heath]

Oh coolio

[hazy pivot]

our Mallard Mansion will not have a mechanic, but will have a similar role called The Handy (or something like that)

[outer heath]

Ooooh

[hazy pivot]

Handy Goose

[near sapphire]

the wat Mallard Mansion

[hazy pivot]

Mallard Mansion

but its still cool

[proud steppe]

i think a way to a join a lobby that's game is already in progress, and just wait in the lobby for that round to be over. might help fill up games

[hazy pivot]

We're looking into changing how our entire lobby system might work in the near future

[outer heath]

A silver reward for finishing all of your tasks before the game ends

And award people more silver if there is a task victory

Since people REALLY dislike doing tasks

I've had games where people don't want a task victory because it's "lame" so they just refuse to do them

[hazy pivot]

We kick them now.

[outer heath]

Oh yeah

Also about that

How long would the period be

Before you get kicked for not doing tasks

I feel like people might try to delay doing tasks to the last minute of that kick countdown

[shy oriole]

Which is why no one knows

Not even the developers

[outer heath]

Ooooh that's very big brain

[shy oriole]

They couldn't agree, so they picked a number at random

[outer heath]

Oh that's very smart

God bless these devs

🙏

[hazy pivot]

Its a set amount of time.

A editable gui so I can move my kill/ability buttons

[wary geode]

Would it be possible to implement some kind of soft lockout for getting a duck role? Like lowering the chance of getting it slightly every time you get it and slightly increasing the chance of getting it when you don't?

[spice creek]

it would probably cause metagaming "this person was a duck last round so they're more likely not a duck" or "this person was a goose last game so they're more likely a duck"

[outer heath]

^^^

My suggestion for smth like that was items that increased your chances of getting specific roles

But other players wouldn't know which ones you have equipped

[wary geode]

It would have to be a very slight change in probability. I'm just tired of playing 20+ games in a row as a goose, while the same handful of people get it every other game.

[spice creek]

I mean I am happy when being any of the roles

counting that people ban the boring/OP roles

so I don't really have a wish except to become that new assassin duck once without the god damn pigeon ending the game the first round

[wary geode]

but everyone has their own opinion of what boring or OP is. Like... I think there are enough counters for every role right now to balance them. I just don't like when people leave medium on and I get it 5 games in a row and it's like... well, I'm useless

But when I'm consistently getting duck once in 30 games, and when I DO finally get it, I get randomly sheriffed or voted round one, knowing I won't get it again for the next 30 games... it's irritating.

[outer heath]

People who random sheriff others are the reason I sometimes disable the role xD

[solar zealot]

Allow us to use two farts

with two different keys

[rich dagger]

Hold down 'F' to bring up a "Fart Wheel" where you could have maybe four farts equipped then mouse click the one you want. Maybe on mobile you could hold onto your player model to bring up the Fart Wheel then tap on the fart you want.

[solar zealot]

Ah ok

[hazy pivot]

The medium is extremely useful to win games. Sure it doesn't kill but it's an integral part of how geese can get information. What it sounds like is that you want to kill more than anything else. We will be making a game mode soon that gives everyone a way to kill and focuses less on deduction. :)

[still jackal]

plays hidden role game

Gets mad when they don't get the 3/16 roles they want

[sage carbon]

This is correct.

We are working on a different sort of drafting game mode in the future, and maybe that'll be more up your alley @wary geode .

[sharp cliff]

Holding right click in flashlight mode to look in a direction without having to move in that direction

[tame bone]

Drafting? As in players are all assigned a random draft order at which they get to pick their role from the remaining roles? That sounds amazing.

Or maybe when it's your turn to draft, you're given your choice out of 3 roles at random of the remaining roles to be picked?

[sage carbon]

Something like this! Not exactly meant to be a hardcore competitive mode or anything like that but... Less chaos I suppose

[tame bone]

I like it. I think it would be popular especially among people who get sad of getting the same role over and over if they have at least some say in being a different role. Or give people a slightly better chance of playing roles they enjoy the most.

[wary geode]

Medium just seems like a super niche vulture counter right now, when there is a much greater threat in a long round than vulture in Pigeon. I don't mind being a non-killing role, especially something like mechanic, detective, canadian, etc. something that gives info that can be used in a meeting without the same info already being IN the meeting. Sure, medium can see mid round that 3 are dead... but not where, not who, not who was in the area, and as soon as a button is called or a body is found, that info is moot because it's presented to everyone.

The other thing is it isn't just that I'm NOT always getting duck roles... but those who RNG DOES favor get them consistently, so they're always sussed out almost immediately. Everyone has their own playstyle when it comes to being the bad guy, and patterns are easier to notice when they're present more often than not.

I'd like to think I'm decent at the deduction side of things, and I don't want to be a duck all the time either. It's just a massive bummer when I play 30 games, have 5 as medium, 10 as dodo, 8 as technician, 3 as vigilante or sheriff, 1 as pigeon, 2 as vulture and 1 as duck, and when I FINALLY get the duck role, I'm immediately sussed out when I've done nothing differently from the other 29 games.... or I'm lover duck and my lover is the first one dead

[sage carbon]

I don't think you're using the medium well

Nor do I really consider the medium a vulture counter

As I said though, hopefully the drafting mode will be everything you want

[wary geode]

See how many ghosts there are? what applications could that have, other than just knowing how many people are dead.... and then communicating that you know how many people are dead and getting assassinated in the next meeting..

[desert island]

you could start searching for a body if someone is dead, you can call out self reporters, you can find out if there is a vulture/cannibal or not.

[waxen galleon]

You can use someone as bait, leave them with someone you suspect, check with your ability, then you know you can go back when the counter goes up withut fear of being killed because their cooldown would be down.

[granite wave]

Could y'all maybe make it where when you die you can still hear the others but they can't hear you, cause that would be pretty cool for proximity chat.

[steady tusk]

yes pls
