[gleaming schooner]

Has friendlist been suggested before? I meet with some nice genuine people in public rooms and I'd like to add them to a friendlist in game so I can join them next time when they're online. It'd also be great if the friendlist is connected to steam like how the csgo friendlist work as

[outer heath]

Yup they were!

And I think they're working on 'em

[radiant yacht]

yes

[gleaming schooner]

that's cool. cant wait for that to be implemented

[magic yarrow]

You guys should add a friends list!

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

[lucid plaza]

I'm not sure if this is worth repeating but I did mention an idea at #📄︱feedback that would improve the game immensely. If it hasn't been mentioned already.

[storm nest]

A cool idea would be a beating hear option for prox chat - where the killer can still hear the ghosts

[inner sandal]

but they might get the dead ppl mixed up with the alive ppl. especially since you cant recongize anyones voice since you usually play with people you havent met

[storm nest]

part of the fun

[inner sandal]

not being able to tell whos talking is already bad enough. making the duck hear ghost just makes it worse

[near sapphire]

being able to close the zoom when you stand still

[rich dagger]

I think the zoom in when standing still encourages players to keep moving to keep the biggest possible vision radius

[near sapphire]

there are sometimes where you cant see (example like bird watcher)

[upbeat mural]

Is there a reason that ghosts can't hear proximity chat from the people still alive?

[rich dagger]

Reduce confusion

[shy oriole]

What d20 said ^^

[inner sandal]

yeah the problem with voice chat is its so hard to tell who is talking. i have to keep asking who said this and who said that cus i dont recognize anyones voice

one time the vigilantee killed me cus they said they were and i was like "wait who said they were vigilantee?" and they killed me after that for no reason

and ofc i happened to be the duck

[upbeat mural]

They might've killed you because they thought you were gonna counterclaim or smth

[inner sandal]

yeah but i never counterclaimed

i just said ok

and then they said they were gonna kill me

[upbeat mural]

Huh idk then

[granite wave]

confusion is made by never allowing one person to talk at a time.

[inner sandal]

yeah private lobbies with friends are much more organized

and since you know how everyone sounds you dont have to constantly ask who said what

[granite wave]

Yep.

Thou…. still if youtube videos say anything that is false,

[tiny junco]

Hi

Uhm...

[opaque mauve]

An idea for an addition to the Vulture regarding the Gravy Goose. If the Vulture can eat the Gravy Goose's body they should be awarded a "loose change" reward. Maybe half of the prize claimed by whoever killed them. @sage carbon

[sage carbon]

maybe!

i wouldn't mind rewarding the vulture more, but it doesn't actually change behavior in any way

the hitman/bodyguard we described earlier and the gravy goose currently... the rewards shape behavior a bit

i don't want to reward the vulture for just doing what he would be doing anyways

[opaque mauve]

Thats fair but it is challenging

And thats why I suggested it be less than the actual reward

It was just a funny idea I had while playing. Thor liked it so he suggested I post it here

[granite wave]

Idea: Sliver to gold
Explanation: For those that don’t have extra funds to buy every hat and Cosmetic in the game, I believe there at least should be a way for those that don’t have the option to buy Gold coins, to still earn them, thru converting 1000, or 5000, or some higher number that requires players to save to get one gold coin, Or use other currencies from gaming market hosts like steam coins (which I have no idea how hard they are to obtain) to be used for conversion into gold coins allowing all players to obtain the needed gold coins to get some of higher Costing hats, or all of the hats with enough time.

[sage carbon]

Those that don't have extra funds can always just enjoy the free game

The mobile version of the game will also have a mechanism you might be able to earn gold with

[granite wave]

…. I mean i know people like myself that like dressing up.

it’s just a nice way for more players to join, and possibly buy more gold coins. but if you don’t want that system that’s fine.

[rich dagger]

The optional in-game purchases are how this awesome team make money to keep making Goose Goose Duck even better!

[granite wave]

but i’m saying the other option may get more players and thus more funding

with the optional purchase of gold coins.

because if u get all the achievement players have no way of getting gold coins

with out paying

What I’m saying is, Yes the game is fun, But some players love having the option to customize thier character, and other things.

With the abilty to get it for free, even if they have to pay, more players may look and go to these games, that’s how mobile games like this get cha.

[granite wave]

But what about pc?

[sage carbon]

maybe

or pc players can just download it on their phones, your account is crossplatform

[granite wave]

good to know, and if you did put the system i suggested in cool, if not, cool.

[sage carbon]

while we might give players a way to earn gold for free, we will probably never implement a way that silver can convert to gold

[granite wave]

Oh alright, but it’s an idea,

Hey, would all platforms have access, got an idea why not a daily login reward system?

it could give a single gold coin daily just for playing one game a day!

[sage carbon]

im sensing a theme for your ideas

[granite wave]

or daily missions that either give sliver, gold, or cosmestics

yeah i played too many moblie games that do this stuff.

[sage carbon]

I promise we have already considered this

[granite wave]

Ok I’ll stop now, sorry for any incovenice i caused

[sage carbon]

no inconvenience, but we already have a planned way to give people free gold

it's not there yet, but i don't particularly see the need to have multiple ways to give people gold

[granite wave]

Oooooo

I wonder what it is, but i get it, in a few mobile game you can’t even get some currencies very often, so That’s why i’m wondering cause it’s so cool.

I’m super interested in game design, and well I’ve got tons of ideas on certain topics.

[sage carbon]

guess you'll just have to wait and see

[granite wave]

I will!

[rich dagger]

There's tons of customization available for free right now. Hats are the only thing exclusively requiring gold. There's gotta be some incentive for some portion of the player base to make purchases

[granite wave]

True…. but if you make i obtainable but rare, people will crave more, or if they don’t want to spend the time getting it, they’ll buy.

Economics helps in that area oddly enough

[jade oracle]

How difficult would it be for there to be a "spectate" option once we finish tasks as a ghost? Would be cool IMO

[granite wave]

yeah it would be,

[sharp cliff]

"Ducks discovered today" [voted off]
next to the geese lost today

[granite wave]

Oo that’s a great idea

[past nebula]

a fart that says "READY UP!!!"

[rich dagger]

ROK!

[outer heath]

Maybe a mechanic for ducks to be able to activate a private call during games, where they can talk to eachother from anywhere on the map?

Like a duck only intercom

With a cooldown of course

[trim pumice]

it has to be in #🐣︱classic-role-ideas

[wintry sinew]

Oh sry

Corrected

[shrewd pewter]

so we have the random position spawning setting. But i was thinking adding a setting to choose in which room you want to spawn?🤷‍♂️
And was thinking of an idea for convincing people to complete tasks is that if you don't complete them you don't get extra silver coins at the end of the game but if you complete them then you get extra silver coins depending on how many you completed (if this isn't already in the game)

[frank night]

We recently deployed a kick out of the game if your not finishing your tasks with in a certain time limit

[sharp cliff]

i dont know if this goes into #🗺︱map-ideas or this chat, im just gonna put this in this chat
what about a room, that leads into space, but there are space suits a player ends to put on before going out into space, then the room is depressurized, then the door opens allowing geese to go a small area outside the ship, to do like tasks [something like "Clean hull"] or something

[hazy pivot]

A cool idea, if we rework black swan we can do that for sure

[mental trellis]

Add fart emoji

[waxen galleon]

I second this.

[mental trellis]

Wot

@waxen galleon

[waxen galleon]

I also would like a fart emoji!

[mental trellis]

Really??

[untold pecan]

i've been in game room one for two hours and no game

this game is dead

[hazy pivot]

There are thousands of players online right now. Where were you connecting from?

@untold pecan have you tried joining another game? I'm wondering if there's something up with your connection. Let me know when you have a chance.

[gentle sluice]

Check out available lobbies in #lfg-english-over18. The voice chat room you are in isn’t where people traditionally go to find games here as there is in-built proximity chat. You can also check out the twitch category and see if any streamers are playing with viewers (most do!) and join a game there.

[sage carbon]

i think he means the game room 1 voice channel

maybe not quite aware of the voice chat in game. but then again maybe this is our fault, i don't even know why we have game room voice channels

[hazy pivot]

We should remove them.

[shy oriole]

They were meant as a place for people who meet in game to be able to chat about their games and other things, in order to not clog up other channels here, and not as a voice channel for the games themselves. I don't see a need for that many of them, and the name "game room" might be misleading 🤔

[sage carbon]

i think its fine as is

I dont know how representative this situation is of people at large

[rich dagger]

It's at least the second time I've seen someone confused in that way

[harsh patio]

There should be an informant goose (name can be made different) and it can put a time when a goose was killed. this can help remember which goose was killed first at what time it was killed (or found)

and killed afterwards

ill re word it, this goose can show a time when a body was found or killed, this can help others remember who was killed, and at what time

[undone jetty]

Suggestion for pigeon role- cooldown slider to add some extra difficulty to it. Mainly so that Pigeon is a usable role for groups of 10 or less. 🙂

[versed peak]

Let the dead be able to hear the alive players

[hazy pivot]

This would create a massive amounts of confusion/noise we've toyed with this idea and it sounds good on paper but it's terrible in practice.

[spring zinc]

can you explain this a little more? it makes no sense why it would be confusing for the dead players to hear the alive players. It's not like the dead players are conspiring against the alive players to win or something

[hazy pivot]

We think its better to be able to have a conversation with other dead players than it is to hear living players. If you are hearing living players across the map and also talking with other dead players it will become confusing

[spring zinc]

can't it be proximity based just like it is when you're alive? they dont necessarily have to listen to communication from across the map

[hazy pivot]

Sure, it would be confusing with vents etc.

We can do this, but what happens when you're "Over a wall" etc. It creates a number of corner cases that will appear buggy to most users

When in fact it is working fine.

[spring zinc]

could it potentially be added as a feature that can be turned on and off for matches?

[sharp cliff]

maybe like a #questions chat in the discord, so people can ask questions about the game and get answers

[hazy pivot]

[granite wave]

idea: make it so you have to infect a person two or three times in a row as pigeons (splits inbetween voting sessions)

[sharp cliff]

as a ghost, because if you die as a character with no tasks, [or your tasks are done when you died]
you can use abilitys that dont really affect the gameplay i think
1."wisper" play a really quite Honk [or quack] sound that has reverb [with some spooky filters]
2."haunt" appear as a translucent version of your alive self, for only a second
3."Remember" create a corpse of yourself to appear, when this corpse goes into vision for more then 2 seconds it fades away
[CANT BE USED WHILE BEING SEEN, also cant be reported or ate]
can be changed because i just came up with this idea

[past nebula]

thank you, i apologize

[granite wave]

the second one affects the gameplay

since u can keep haunt the same person and show on the duck

[gaunt thistle]

All of the suggestions can be exploited to point to the killer

But ghosts do need something else to do when finished tasks. Perhaps they can move faster, only once tasks are finished.

[sage carbon]

I agree that it would be nice to come up withs omething to do for ghosts

affecting the gameplay of existing ducks/geese/neutrals probably isnt the way to go, snice they know all their identities with role reveal introduced

[main tulip]

have a go fish card table out in space ghosts can play

[simple temple]

Love it

[hallow ocean]

what about that pool table? ghosts can play pool and living geese and ducks just see balls moving

[sage carbon]

well, there could be up to 13 ghosts at a timefor one thing. secondly there isnt a ball physics engine int he game at the moment

[desert island]

Slams Table GHOST PARTY

• Naughts and Crosses
• Drinks Sodas which have spoopy effects(e.g. Nausea, disco, voice changer)
• Jukebox where you can play music(which you can legally play)(can be toggled off)
• Disco ball
• Usable whiteboard
• Water Blaster

[outer heath]

Warp Sabotage:

This Sabotage will randomly teleport each player once.

This could lead to separating, grouping, getting stuck in sticky positions.

This sabo is like the door sabo, and can be used in combination with other sabotages.

The sabotage task will be the warp task in communications.

[cobalt void]

I completely forgot about Project Winter and a warp sabotage similar to the displacement effect that occurs there would actually be really nice.

[lucid plaza]

Small suggestion here. Would it be possible to add a big bold text above a players name in the lobby to show that they are the host of the lobby? This will make it clearer for all players.

This will change if they leave of course.

[shrewd pewter]

could there be a way to switch between maps without making a new lobby

[last burrow]

thatd be cool

[magic yarrow]

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

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

[shrewd pewter]

thank you Mr. bot for info :3

[last burrow]

yey

[forest dew]

Making the the description of your role visible though out game instead of only visible when game starts

[ocean cypress]

There is a ? button that is accessible at all times that shows the game settings including which roles are active in the the game with a description available

[last burrow]

idk if this is requested alot or possible, but the option to let someone else be in charge of lobby without leaving

[gaunt thistle]

Are there any plans for more kill animations? Blackhole kill?

[indigo sundial]

Sorry I was afk so it kicked me

[last burrow]

maybe the ability to play piano as ghost (nobody can hear it except for ghost playin it) as a fun thing to do as ghost. i think i saw piano in at least 2 of the 3 maps

[gaunt thistle]

^ as long as it only unlocks once all ghost tasks are completed

Might be fun if you can play it before you die too, as a way to distract the geese.

Or it could be a new task and once a ghost completes all their tasks, they can choose whatever task they want to practice, including playing the piano

[granite wave]

Make a Sub-Reddit

[gaunt thistle]

You mean like this?
https://www.reddit.com/r/Gaggle/

[granite wave]

oh

yeah kinda like that

[potent meteor]

oo i love the idea of the ghost task unlocking once all the ghosts complete their tasks. that sounds fun!

[hollow beacon]

Hey can we make it so the Sherriff has the same cooldown as ducks please?

[outer heath]

¬^^

[sage carbon]

he does have the same cooldown

[dark thunder]

we need a duck that bonks people on the head to kill them

[granite wave]

there should be chat rooms in a lobby so people dont talk over each other

and the host can move people from chat rooms so they can say announcments and stuff

[sage carbon]

this doesnt seem like a good idea, since the host would be able to manipulate the flow of information

this doesnt seem like a good idea, since the host would be able to manipulate the flow of information

it has often be suggested that we add in an option that the person calling the meeting has a period of time where they can speak, and we are considering that option

[waxen galleon]

I think they just mean in the lobby itself, not the actual gameplay.

I wouldn't mind a priority speaker option while in the lobby to the lobby leader, sometimes it is hard to tell everyone you switched to blind ducks when everyone is having their own conversations.

[sage carbon]

ohhhh i see

[tame bone]

I could imagine 2 or 3 of the corners of the lobby being mostly walled-off creating nooks that LOS proximity chat would allow separate conversations while people wait for the game to start.

The current lobby is space themed. Any possibility we could see lobbies with different themes as new map themes (Ducktorian, Adventure, etc) are released?

[sage carbon]

the london maps have a different lobby, yes

it's more of a police station

[granite wave]

@fair pecan that was you in the game right ?

When people meet in Discord after playing together in GGD

[rustic coral]

A bonk on the head! My one...weakness! ughhhh!

[lost igloo]

PLES add this! Make it so when a imp kills a tm8 they die also it'll make it so people are more careful when there is a mimic because I hate it when I get killed as duck because they thought I was mimic. Cuz some people just do it as a guess, some people don't even get actual proof, and some people are trolls

[tame bone]

Please no. Ducks will insta lose when blind ducks mode is on. And it's really no different than getting voted off as a goose by the other geese.

[vague matrix]

So, can we get the odds for the microchip? I've been playing for hours and I can't seem to get it.

[near sapphire]

I know that you can get it by a few specific tasks but I dont remember which tasks but I have played this game for 81 hours and I have 5 or 6 microchips

[outer heath]

I think it's communications tasks

[plain bough]

The microchip can spawn from any electronic task, but the chances are low

Mute player option for server host
Firstspeaker option for meeting caller

Recently there has been alot of issues inside the game becouse some players just wont stop screaming or making the game unbarable for others.

The person who reports a body or calls the button just dont have the deserved chance to speak.

Some people just speak over other people and its totally messing up the session.

YES it is possible to lower the person volume or mute him from the "players" section BUT there has to be a better way.

Is this a good or bad idea.. i dont know.

Making the meeting caller the priority speaker.
Meeting callers speaks first and shares the information in the first 20 seconds. The microphone releases for others and everyone can speak.

Granting the server host MUTE players globaly.
Some people blast music and are just rude and this would be a great update.

[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.

[sage carbon]

The ability for the host to mute players in a game of social deduction where there has to be conversation and the flow of information doesn't really make sense to me

As the bot stated, the idea of giving the person calling the meeting the sole ability to speak for a certain period of time is something we're considering. It has been suggested many many times

[grim oasis]

The Mute suggestion is becouse some people just abuse the power to speak and wont silence it down. They join lobbys and blast loud music and are really offencive. I understand its a social game but there has to be a better way to control them without just kicking them out. Maybe they forgot to mute their microphone and didnt realise it. The only way right now is to kick them.

[sage carbon]

Yes, and you should kick them

If you're hosting the lobby, they aren't following your rules. You are on a different page on whether or not music can be blasted.

This is why we empower you with the ability to kick players.

[grim oasis]

Kick seems too harsh sometimes. Mute option would be the middleground.

[sage carbon]

Nope.

It's your choice.

If you don't kick someone who's blasting music, you're okay with people blasting music.

[near sapphire]

well you can either block them or lower their sound in the player sections other than kicking

[grim oasis]

True

[sage carbon]

I assume Detective is referring to the music bothering other players in the server

But we have zero plans on ever giving the server host to mute players

[grim oasis]

Alright.

[sage carbon]

It makes very little sense in a social deduction game, and really it generates plenty of problems

[grim oasis]

Thats true. Was just wondering if there would be an option.

[cosmic forge]

Can there be an option to join in-progress games from the server browser?

[sage carbon]

It's something we've considered, but we won't be doing this in the near future

[cosmic forge]

Fair enough, what's the reason?

[sage carbon]

Would require an overhaul of the way things work, and it doesn't seem worth it at the time

[grim oasis]

You can always ask them to ping you when the game session is over.

Was wondering one last thing.

If the host leaves the server or gets disconnected, the host status gets passed to the next player.

If the Host rejoins the server, is it possible to get the host status back in the future?

Rather useless question, i know.

[last burrow]

Im happy that theres already a setting to pardon kicked players

[grim oasis]

Yes

[sage carbon]

no

[ivory locust]

I agree. As a host, you have control over who gets in and who stays in. I hate kicking people as well, but sometimes it just has to be done.

[last burrow]

Maybe something to do in lobby? Whenever a game is over as host i sometimes like to wait a little to hopefully get new people in but my lobby bombards me with telling me to start sometimes. I feel like of they had something to do in the meantime the lobby could stay open for a little longer. Even if its something as simple as challenging someone to rock paper scissors....or the goose equivalent of that (maybe even ghosts could challenge other ghosts to that)

[granite wave]

Just so youll know im not talking about simon says can you please change the colors of the calibrations its impossible to see the green for me and i might not be the only one the only colors that can be seen are red, orange, and yellow not sure if its because of the white in the center that is making the green look yellow or not or if the color shade of the two are to close. I would really appreciate it because the only time i can finish the task is if i get lucky on guessing it. But over all i love the game

[hazy pivot]

Two of our main developers are colorblind (myself included) That's why we added the white dot 🙂

You can ignore the color completely and focus on the intensity of the white dot in relation to the background.

[near sapphire]

that is big brain

[zealous sage]

new fart when?

[sage carbon]

no set time

[zealous sage]

sad, i wish there was one that didnt say anything on it and was just a fart

[last burrow]

Thatd be nice

[zealous sage]

something so that newbies such as i can join in with the other geese when everyone farts

think of it as just a "normal basic fart"

[static umbra]

If there isn't a reason why it won't/can't happen, I would suggest an option where the current host of a lobby could transfer the host to another person.

[hazy pivot]

Has been suggested many times, we're looking into making it but it's not high on our priority list at the moment.

[granite wave]

guys how about a most general upgrade to add an exit button (other than sign out) i mean it's the most general update we need

[hazy pivot]

You can quit the game by clicking the cog in the top right

there is a menu option there to quit the lobby or close the game you're in from the main menu

[mossy pendant]

As someone who recently started playing, I have signed out thinking that'd be where the exit button was hahaha.

But I don't think there's a problem... I'm just illiterate.

[granite wave]

i meant a dedicated exit button on main screen, I know it's just a QOL change but still needed

[last burrow]

Not "needed" but i definitely want it too

[sweet fern]

recharge pets with gold

[hazy pivot]

That's kind of a neat idea 🙂 We can definitely look into something like that. ❤️

A way to recharge pets (perhaps completing a daily quest?)

[stuck bone]

Here's a suggestion for the Devs, Have a waiting room

[hazy pivot]

Waiting rooms are not trivial. It's definitely something we're interested in doing but it would require an entirely new system of organizing and joining games. A lot of games (even at the AAA level) avoid doing this because of the programming overhead required. We're MUCH MUCH MUCH smaller. 🙂

[stuck bone]

Just thinking for the private games, cause we arn't sure when the group is done, so we end up trying multiple times, and the code can't be copied and paste

[hazy pivot]

Why can't the code be copied and pasted?

Also; whether we make it for private or public games its the same overhead in programming time. It's a feature we want to have but at the end of the day we would rather add things like friends lists so people can invite you when the lobby is open 🙂

This will solve both problems in one go.

(Easier to make)

[hallow ocean]

This has probably been asked before but is it possible to have like 18+ lobbies. Pretty sure anyone above 18 has realized the struggles of being in a lobby with kids. I don't suggest this to ruin anyones experience but these poor kids be getting kicked the whole time, mostly for talking too much and being rude

[hazy pivot]

We don't control private lobbies at all. Once someone gives out a code it's their responsibility to govern the game the way they want. If a host wants to run an 18+ lobby with mature players that is something the host would have to maintain. I don't feel bad for kids getting kicked from games for being rude/obnoxious. We've given the tools to hosts to be able to deal with them.

[hallow ocean]

Oh okay fair enough

[hazy pivot]

I would encourage a host to let someone who is being rude/obnoxious to calm their feathers a bit before being kicked.

Sometimes people don't realize they are invasive to the gaming experience of others.

[hazy pivot]

No spamming and also please post game codes in #lfg-english-over18 or your corresponding language.

[sharp cliff]

small cinematics when a team wins
Goose win [tasks] : it shows a duck about to fire an atom blaster at a goose, only for it to malfunction and kill the duck instead
Goose win [Vig or sheriff kill] : shows a duck about to backstab a goose, the goose turns around, and shoots the duck with an atom blaster before it stabs
Goose win [voted out] : shows the duck being sucked into space. pretty simple. but the ducks disguise unzips because the fast moving air thing that happens when the space door opens [i dont know the name for it]
Duck win [Geese all killed] : it shows multiple geese being atom blasted, flamed and other death animations
Duck win [sabotage] depends on the sabotage, in this example its reactor. alarms are going off, Geese are panicking, the duck just stands there, unzips its disguise, and then the camera zooms out to see the ship exploding [or the base exploding]

[last burrow]

This is awesome.

[granite wave]

Having cinematics would add a little mwa to your win

[mint plume]

It is likely on the To Do list just as the Ghost Duck Arcade, the Mini-Golf quack course mode, and the Disco Duck.

[night frost]

i'm of FAN of your idea

[outer heath]

A blinking option?

After a set amount of seconds everyone will blink for a second or so?

Idk

[hazy pivot]

The characters in game do blink if you stand still

[trim pumice]

there should be a setting to add who many roles

like they can select how many sheriff vigi meduim mimic spy duck and others

[hazy pivot]

We're already noticing people just adding a ton of roles in the game because they are there and breaking the experience because of this. After some time we may add a field to allow players to select how many of specific roles there are in the game to allow people to create their own experience.

We will likely not allow multiple vultures/pigeons but some roles we can increase

[trim pumice]

Okie

[trim pumice]

but...you will add the second dodo soon

for the dueling dodos

right shawn?

[sage carbon]

Those are a specific pair of roles

nice name

https://tenor.com/view/barack-obama-swag-lit-cool-glasses-gif-17107779

[rich dagger]

Thanks comrade!

[carmine wharf]

your welcome comrade

[granite wave]

Thanks for the leak lol

[lilac canyon]

idk if I should have posted this in cosmetic ideas, but I feel like having the eyes (dilated) that are considered as hats, it would be nice if there were just an eyes/contacts category to customize your geese with.

note: I did not do the flamingo one

[shadow canopy]

I wish the eyes were a different custom so I can have a lil hat with my big ol eyeballs. especially if there is any plans to release more eye features in the future. separate handheld items would be cool too

[gloomy tangle]

I also agree. I feel like eyes, and eye cosmetics should be separate from hat cosmetics.

[rich dagger]

That would certainly be one way to be even more different from Among Us

[shrewd pewter]

could there be a way to trade silver coins for gold ones?

[outer heath]

That would kinda mess up the devs' income y'know

Since gold coins are the only things you pay for

[shrewd pewter]

i was thinking like 10k silver for 1 gold

or something like that so you need lots of playing i guess

[rich dagger]

I believe they said it was something they would consider in the future, but not soon

[granite wave]

How do you unlock the maid outfit? Is it by getting that secret cleaning achievement?

[outer heath]

According to some people I asked, it is 1000 cleaning tasks

@granite wave

[granite wave]

oh it's ideas- i thought it was just general, mb. But ty!

[outer heath]

Dw about it 🫂 And np

[blissful cedar]

men

[elder vapor]

Yeah, the problem with having any crossover between silver and gold coins is that it encourages farming, so I doubt there will ever be any way to exchange one for the other

[granite wave]

Discord.. Rich Presence

I know it has disadvantages but you can turn them off

but still.. discord.. rich presence..

please

[late flame]

Can we please have proximity chat in public games now

[trim pumice]

Tbh I hope not cus....I cannot imagine what will happen next

[magic yarrow]

Please add proximity chat to public games.

This is something we have considered, but have ultimately decided against. We have taken the stance that if you make a private game, you are responsible for moderating it. The host will have their own rules, and have the responsibility of kicking people who they feel are breaking the rules.
Public lobbies are different in that players don't necessarily know the people in the game they are joining into. Kids might enter a game and can be harassed by others in some corner of the map if proximity chat is on. If someone is being rude or toxic in a meeting, everyone can hear it and can block their mics and block them.

So why don't we just separate servers into kids and 18+? Because a 12 year old can check off a box that says they are 18, and we'd rather prevent the potential abuse and toxicity.

If you want proximity chat, make a private game. If you need players, find a private game in the #lfg channels or make your own.

[late flame]

If people which don't want to play in such settings, they do not have to

[rich dagger]

It would be a nightmare to be frank

[sage carbon]

we just explained why we aren't doing it currently

[vast shuttle]

you should allow people to join in a match while its going, just have them spectate/be a ghost w/ no tasks

[last burrow]

^^^^

[vast shuttle]

a way to make someone the party leader without leaving

[gentle sluice]

Thanks - this has been previously suggested and is on the list for consideration.

[gentle sluice]

Thanks - this has been previously suggested and needs further discussion with the development team as it does cause some issues such as when the game ends and everyone rejoins the lobby - do spectators then become alive or are they always spectating and If there is room for two more players but more than that are spectating, who gets priority to join the game play if others are trying to then join from outside spectating …. It may link further into the private Friends List that is under consideration but is not as simple as it seems to just let anyone in to interact in the game in the Ghost realm. - stay tuned!

[outer heath]

What if ducks' sabo cooldowns got reduced every time they did a fake task???

[hazy pivot]

^^^ Already a bit too powerful.

[outer heath]

Not permanently

[sage carbon]

it's also mixing the purpose of the fake tasks a little

we put them in there so that new players wouldn't be preyed upon because they wouldn't be able to name their tasks

and also to give a little more opportunity for everyone to get craftable materials

[outer heath]

Yeah

It would make them more than just you know

Fake tasks

[sage carbon]

yeah but i wouldn't want to tie those things together

[outer heath]

Oooooh

Fair enough

[sage carbon]

i wouldn't want people to have the option of fake tasks, just to get materials or something, but also have to introduce a buff to the ducks, is what i mean

[outer heath]

Yeah true

[late flame]

assassin duck being able to kill mimic is a bit OP using their powers at meetings

[sage carbon]

assassin still has to take a risk, and use up a shot

if the mimic gives up their own identity so obviously, they're not long for this world either way

[signal violet]

afk nick

you can press G and then "Afk" will be showned next to your nick (Nick + " Afk")

you can die but it shows it so other goose just know that you are afk right now(ducks can use it too of course)

you automaticly skip on the meetings

[late flame]

It's easy to know who the mimic is, you could tell within a minute for sure, and if you call the assassin out on it, they kill you at the meeting

[signal violet]

its easy if the mimic is playing very badly

if its playing good than the mimic is very hard to spot

and even if assasin couldn't kill him in the meeting he can still kill him in the round so it doesn't change anything

[late flame]

mimic will just snitch on the assassin, and end up dead with the assassin,which is the main problem

[signal violet]

add #tasks-ideas

[trim pumice]

new tasks idea on a new map u mean?

[last burrow]

If your a mimic the best role in my opnion to pretend to be is silencer. It cant vent and its abilities are not immidatly provable

[gaunt thistle]

Doesn't work when there's two ducks near you and one of them kills. The other instantly knows you're a fake, that or the ducks see each other complete the sabotage unlock tasks, those are basically proof that a player is not a mimic that I've used dozens of times to kill the mimic within the first 30 seconds of the game

[last burrow]

true, mimic is difficult to pull off, but when you do it feels so good

[gentle sluice]

Unlikely to happen as if you’re in the game you should be actively playing/doing tasks. In a private lobby where you know people you should have the relationship to tell someone you’re afk and just run the risk of if you’ll survive or not. If you know you need to be away for longer than a bathroom break the best thing to do is back out of the game and rejoin when you’re able to participate.

[mellow compass]

If you are a dodo and you are playing with someone you know who can sabotage, the dodo can stand still near people and when the duck sabotages then they move. It will make the dodo more sus. Also the dodo can chase people. Another idea for the dodo is to be near a duck and stand near the body while the duck runs away.

[blazing moth]

i feel like there should be an option in lobby settings to determine how many votes someone has to have to get ejected with options like simple majority, absolute majority and 2/3rds majority and whether who dies in ties should be randomly decided or simply skipped

[sage carbon]

maybe in a future game mode? i think it might be confusing for the general audience

[errant cairn]

Yea I think that would be good maybe in its own game mode but for how it is now I think it’s pretty good

[errant halo]

A pet that cost silver

[blazing moth]

wouldnt a pet that cost silver just sort of devalue pets since most people would have at least 1 pet as opposed to now where you need a lot of gold in order to get a pet so theyre sort of exclusive in a way

[outer heath]

Is this a scam or smth?

[granite wave]

yes, it's posted in every channel

[elder vapor]

it's a scam do not click any links

i deleted it

[outer heath]

Oh tyyy

[zenith lava]

It'd be nice if lethal sabotage tasks had a timer up in the corner, right now it can't be seen while in the task itself but it would be useful for ducks to know how much time there is so they know if they should actually try working on it for credibility or if they should just let the timer run out.

[sage carbon]

You can see the time in the task list prior to opening it

[near sapphire]

thank you

[glossy thorn]

Silly idea I had based on an animated sticker I did(for another discord server where we play a lot of Goose Goose Duck)

unlockable victory screen taunts that would play at the end of the match if you won

and here is my example 😛

[waxen galleon]

[plain bough]

lmao

[simple temple]

Oh god

[vast tide]

Is that to taunt players or moderators

[last burrow]

Both duh

[vast tide]

Why it isn't allowed prox chat in public games

[magic yarrow]

Please add proximity chat to public games.

This is something we have considered, but have ultimately decided against. We have taken the stance that if you make a private game, you are responsible for moderating it. The host will have their own rules, and have the responsibility of kicking people who they feel are breaking the rules.

[vast tide]

Sounds good

But there is a flaw

I was playing and they make a talck room and they used 2 accounts one to make a private lobby and other to send the private lobby code to play with strangers with prox

[sage carbon]

people are allowed to form private lobbies if they meet in public games

[vast tide]

Om

Ok*

Can you make a friend list thing

[magic yarrow]

You guys should add a friends list!

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

[vast tide]

Thx

[vast tide]

A mission of 2 people were it tells one people revives if the other is a duck or not but if a duck receives the role he could lie

[keen holly]

Mobile app version with cross play? is that possible?

[keen holly]

Could Technician maybe get a buff? like you fix sabs faster as tech (like lights and engines) or maybe you can remote fix 1 sab per round? Or ghost sabs dont show up on the radar? just thoughts.

[last burrow]

the next major update is the mobile release.....but i never thought it might not be connected to pc o_o

[granite wave]

You can customize your character for each role you want and be able to wear that outfit when ur that role
No one else will be able to see what u are not even ducks since u’ll just ask “what am I wearing” if there is a mimic
Everyone else will look like they wear no outfit or their normal one

[plucky ice]

I really hope that it isn't connected with pc because with mobile comes a very young demographic

[final scroll]

compatible with controller? maybe?

[granite wave]

It will most likely be but we can still play from discord

Make it so that u can change ur voice into a much deeper voice if u want in settings it’s pretty hard to find a real time voice changer on mobile

[vast tide]

Why would you need a voice cganger

[sage carbon]

mobile version is coming, and it will have crossplay

[vast tide]

Ok

[lapis wing]

Is there a exact date or???

[sage carbon]

if you're on this discord, you'll still be able to use #lfg channels if you don't have a regular group to find mature lobbies

[sage carbon]

today one day closer than yesterday

[lapis wing]

Love that 🤣

[sage carbon]

lol, there's no exact date

[lapis wing]

Yes

[granite wave]

There are a lot of ppl that just don’t like how their voice sounds in recordings/calls and maybe some ppl would try to make vids playing

[lapis wing]

I figured

[sage carbon]

but it is very very soon, and we are testing mobile

[lapis wing]

Ah nice 👍

[granite wave]

Shawn said it is this month

[sage carbon]

well shawn's a duck so

[lapis wing]

https://tenor.com/view/duck-flower-gif-20153808

[granite wave]

I mean u that’s what every dev would say

And he’s pretty nice so I don’t think he’s lying

[plucky ice]

Maybe you could tag lobbies as pc only or a search feature for pc only

[sage carbon]

it's something we might consider

but as i said, if you're worried about your lobbies.. go join/make private ones

and nothing will really have changed for you

[lapis wing]

Will have to agree with this ^^^

[granite wave]

It would be good if u guys could make it that u need parents accord saying this game is for 13 and older since if I want to play here with a pc player and it wouldn’t be possible it would be pretty annoying
It will basically let u play with pc players if u get the accord

[granite wave]

Let ducks take off their masks if they want after the mimic is dead
It could cause a lot of awesome moments
Also if possible could u guys change the duck win screen to have their masks off?

[lapis wing]

What

[gentle sluice]

https://tenor.com/view/confused-math-what-wtf-peep-gif-6081931

[lapis wing]

🤣

[granite wave]

Sigh it’s just like in amogus the imposter vents like a 100 times at the end since they know they can’t lose
The thing was so u’ll be able to show everyone that ur the duck in the meetings or even in the round before u kill them in a locked room since there’s always that match when they always blame each other or they believe what u said and voted the other
It would be nice to show them that ur actually the duck and there’s nothing they can do to stop u anymore

[lapis wing]

I really don’t like that idea TBH

[granite wave]

No one said that u needed to use it it’s for a more dramatic ending

[lapis wing]

Can’t you just vent in front of em

[granite wave]

Yeah but if the mechanic isn’t out then it’s useless since it’s either u or the other
And in the meetings u can’t vent

[lapis wing]

What why would you reveal yourself during meetings

Ok whatever I’m gonna stop digging the hole

[sturdy parcel]

[ Idea: ]
When you're dead, you can see dots representing where the alive players on the map, each dot colored after what said player's color is. This would be toggle-able like role reveal. I suggest this as often when I'm dead after I finish my tasks, I go looking for living players to spectate, but oftentimes have trouble finding them.

[mint plume]

Toggable Option: Skip votes don't count -- Would be fun to see meetings where people only survived if it was a tied vote between birds. -- not a tie with skip

[plucky ice]

Task idea: A treadmill, you walk on it to complete it

[zenith lava]

A reoccurring roles option under each category would be neat, like reoccurring solos, reoccurring geese, and reoccurring ducks. This would allow multiples of specials to exist in a single game, so that players can't just go 'you aren't that I am' and that be that.

Or could individualize it even more by having a fourth icon besides the yes, no, and maybe for each role, one that would be 'maybe multiple'.

[steel swallow]

Make it real

[hazy pivot]

If we get to overwhelmingly positive on the steam store with a ton of Brazilian support we'll do it 🙂

[mint plume]

Option for the "Role Reveal" to be client side. This would allow streamers to stop a full sniping, I know a few who have it turned off for the game cause of blind accurate assassin shots, or sheriff exploits due to stream sniping. It would allow innocent players to still see the roles while dead in the game.

[rich dagger]

If it's the streamer's lobby they are free to kick people who stream snipe too

At the end of the day, if someone wants to stream snipe, they're going to stream snipe, and the best recourse is to simply not play with them.

[plucky ice]

Spy role is crying

[lapis wing]

LOL

[granite wave]

Add a channel for kill animation ideas if it doesn’t exist already and text to be said when someone is ejected

[carmine wharf]

agreed

[granite wave]

Rly should make this ejection phrase
“Name” was given up
There are so many good phrase ideas and kill animations there rly should be a channel for that

[carmine wharf]

i suggest a very rare ejection kill

th airlock doesnt open and they get thrown out the window

[granite wave]

That will have to open the window and the players will be sucked out too

[sage carbon]

you guys seem like you are on the same page a lot

maybe you guys should just dm one another and come up with a best of list

build off one another, privately in dms, to iterate

[granite wave]

I mean I don’t rly have ideas I just say how they can be better
But yeah if general isn’t the place then ok

[sage carbon]

thats why you guys would be a great team

[granite wave]

Let that goose that can see where sabots are made not see if a ghost did it
They’ll just go with players that are geese and sabot there and most players will never think that a ghost did it
Basically when a ghosts sabots u won’t see anything (and yeah I already know what would happen if it would be like this)

[sage carbon]

no

we're happy with how the technician works, and it's power level decreasing as the game continues

[plucky ice]

a big part of a dead duck is trying to frame people with your sabots

[granite wave]

Ok then sure

[granite wave]

Ik but I’ll never know what the duck is thinking maybe they will sabot with the ducks since players could think that a ghost only sabots with geese
But ig it’s ok tho u should be able to see if it was a ghost or not who saboted

[sage carbon]

i think you need some more experience playing the game

to feel out why we've made some of the decisions we've made

they are rarely arbritrary

[plucky ice]

i just think it cuts out a fun part of a social deduction game

[granite wave]

Maybe but the outcomes are mostly the same right there’s only a handful of things that can happen
But u may be right I’ll see it when the mobile comes out

[plucky ice]

and also its always fun to blame a duck ghost if your caught sabotaging

[sage carbon]

so you're waiting on mobile to play your first game?

[granite wave]

Yeah and Ik what what u might say next

[sage carbon]

i don't think you might, lol

[granite wave]

Ok?
That I should just leave it alone and see or y I don’t play it on laptop (most said things in this situation)

Or just watch how it plays out on yt?

[sage carbon]

I think most people making good faith attempts at ideas for the game will play the game first

i know that yoru profile picture says spammer, and im going to assume its a meme of some sort, but lets try not to flood the channel with every idea that pops in your head

let's be judicious about thinking about ideas first, and trying to consider whether they'll work or not

thanks

[granite wave]

Yeah in the end we can all think what the outcomes on those things that happen can be right
That’s y I’m saying those things even tho if u’ve seen this already and it turned out that they got a different opinion after playing then u might be right

[plucky ice]

i have 14 hours lmao

[granite wave]

I didn’t say u didn’t know if u think that’s what I said

[sage carbon]

i'm having trouble understanding your point here

but to make it clear, No more spamming.

[granite wave]

I only meant that ppl that still didn’t play the game can still think of the outcomes which will happen with different roles right

For example saying that a role could be too op or too underpowered

[sage carbon]

You don't play the game, I don't see why you think you'd have an especially good or experienced grasp of how things will play out

[granite wave]

Cuz I’ve played mods of amogus and there were some roles that are sorta the same like here and I’ve seen what happens

[sage carbon]

this isn't among us

[granite wave]

Ik

[sage carbon]

nor modded among us

[plucky ice]

amogus is very very different

[sage carbon]

i don't really care to continue this conversation

[granite wave]

Ig it is but it’s still the same idea just with different things

[sage carbon]

please let the one takeaway if you have any from this conversation be that you aren't going to spam anymore

[plucky ice]

its kinda like comparing salem witch trials with among us

[hazy pivot]

You do realize that Ottomated AND Slushiegoose AND Hunter who made some of the most popular mods for AU are full time members of our studio? What herbert is saying, if a feature of those mods existed we've carefully considered which work in our game and which don't. Our game plays very differently and the new themed maps and game modes we have coming soom reflect that too. Without playing the game it would be difficult to add value. What Herbert is saying is simple; play the game first. See the vibe we are going for, and then make the suggestions. We don't focus on the outcome of player stories but rather the journey of how the players got there. Proximity chat allows for some really fun interactions between players and that's how we build our game. I know this is a long winded post but it's at the point where the developers are having to ammend server rules to prevent a small handful of people from dominating chat threads.

[granite wave]

I agree with u but in the end after I play the mobile version I still think I’d have the same impression on most things
And the thing I meant with it’s the same idea is that in any way ur trying to get the imps/ducks out
I also said that it plays very differently from the normal among us and that makes it so good I personally love the prox chat since I’ve had like a million times the problem that I needed to write a bible to explain everything what happened and ppl won’t listen
Now this problem is mostly fixed
Anyway I’ll wait for the mobile release until I’ll give more ideas then

[gentle sluice]

Hey people. Please can you form your thoughts clearly before posting in the feedback channels. It’s much easier to consider and understand if it’s one concise post per idea rather than spread over 20.

[plucky ice]

Let us join games mid match as a spectator or ghost with no tasks or just a "waiting for round to start" screen. That way your don't have to line up exact times to join lobbies especially the lfg ones. It would also let people join populated games. And add a feature to turn of mid match joins

[plucky ice]

Another thing that would be cool is more ways to get gold coins or add hats that can be bought with lots of silver

[hazy pivot]

It would be something that is unlikely to happen. We like to keep certain things super exclusive because it is literally our only revenue source. Unlike other social deception games, we also host voice chat which means their hosting costs are significantly cheaper. We're already infinite cheaper to play than other social deception games. If we gave away cosmetics for free (play to earn) we would have to charge for the game.

[mint plume]

the point was its boring as a ghost when they decide to not do role reveal

[plucky ice]

It be cool if we could teleport bodies on the teleporter

[earnest island]

Not sure if this fits but wouldn't mind seeing hats stick around on your ghost.

[zealous thunder]

CUTTING THE GAME OFF WHEN REACHES 50 MINS

ive been in same game for a hour

[tame bone]

How?

[zealous thunder]

idk but happend killer did not kill a single person

[tame bone]

That seems only possible if the auto-kick setting is off and the remaining players decide to stop playing the game and just sit around and chat.

[sage carbon]

if you're in a public game, autokick will be on

if you're in a private game, there is no penalty for leaving

[last burrow]

is there a penalty for leaving a public game?

[hazy pivot]

You may be docked a few minutes penalty from rejoining another game

[ocean cypress]

not really an idea @carmine wing

[bright citrus]

Ghosts can't see colors or names of players but are visible to alive people as sort of a haunting theme (with halloween upcoming would be a could effect)

[gentle sluice]

This is what the previous version of the medium could see. .

[bright citrus]

I know but they reworked medium and this would be something everyone can see and they can't see names or colors so it would prevent dead people from giving away any info

[gentle sluice]

Well it would and does enable dead players to give away info as as the alive can all see X number of ghosts circling or following XYZ player ?

[bright citrus]

The ghosts wouldn't be able to see names or colors of living people so they wouldn't know who they are circling the only possibility would be if they see someone kill and actively follow that one person but even that you wouldn't know if its a vigilante, sheriff or if a duck that was killed / voted off is following a random person

[kind talon]

theyd still be able to figure it out pretty i reckon

[rich dagger]

That would make it extra boring for ghosts who are done with tasks 😬

[outer heath]

Killers can hear bits of victim's voices from dead chat every so often while still alive.

As if being haunted?

[bright citrus]

being able to haunt people is more boring then doing nothing and just waiting? 😛

[plucky ice]

Let pidgin see infected players during meetings (like theres a virus icon next to their name)

[hazy pivot]

Nobody is infected during a meeting, the infection resets

Also pidgin is a simplified form of a language 🙂

[plucky ice]

The more you know, maybe show a little thing next to their names in game

[hazy pivot]

The only skill required to play the pigeon is remembering who you infected. Making it easier also makes it more of a chore than a game. We're happy where it is. It wont change. 🙂

[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.

[plucky ice]

Idk how this works but since a good bit of the playerbase is on steam it be cool to be able to buy things with steam credit,

[hazy pivot]

You can use your steam wallet to purchase things already

[plucky ice]

Well then I am blind

[waxen galleon]

If you click in game here: https://i.imgur.com/pccb8KR.png it should allow you to make purchases through steam.

[plucky ice]

ah thanks

[plucky ice]

Some items are craftable and I think that's a cool system but getting parts is very random, silver coins also aren't super useful considering you can only buy shirts and farts, and the gravy goose isn't super enticing the way other roles like mechanic or vig are so I propose that either you can buy parts with large amounts of silver coins giving more of a reason to try with gravy, or make gravy goose give you parts rewards and/or silver coins (though this wouldn't really deal with the point of silver coins)

[tame bone]

Some of the shirts you can only buy with silver coins and not Gold coins though

[rich dagger]

I can get behind the idea of Gravy Goose bounties giving a chance of high quality components!

Maybe if you do all your tasks and survive the match you get a component instead of silver (blue tier or higher)

[vast tide]

Is there a refund system

[last burrow]

That would be an amazing gravy goose upgrade. Id actually be happier to get gravy goose

[hazy pivot]

You can e-mail [e-mail] for support

[drifting valley]

some sort of ranking system 🙂

[sage carbon]

MMR for a social deduction game isn't a great idea

[gentle sluice]

Measles, Mumps and Rubella?

[sage carbon]

im not aware of that acronym

[gentle sluice]

It’s a common Trivalent vaccine here 🤣

[drifting valley]

:pepesad

[granite wave]

how about, when u die and then beat all of your tasks, if there is no medium goose in the game, it asks you if you want to leave without penalizing you

[errant cairn]

Maybe there can be a way to convert silver into gold coins like 100 sliver will get you 1 gold coin

[gray latch]

Gold coins won't be craftable anytime soon, it was already stated here.

[plucky ice]

Just wanna craft parts or get em from gravy

[magic yarrow]

Can you add an option to convert silver to gold?

No. Buying gold is a way for for players to support this free game, and doing so is entirely optional. Introducing a way to convert silver to gold also opens the game up to players using servers just to farm silver or to even use bots to farm silver, which we would obviously want to avoid.

[plucky ice]

But oh great GGDHelpBot what about parts

[plucky ice]

Maybe a system where you can queue to join in progress games and you join when they start

[plucky ice]

Option to give the person who called the body like 15 seconds where just they can talk that way people can get info out

[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.

[vocal hatch]

Ca-n you add a save settings and load settings that we are using în all games when we host a game?

[near sapphire]

maybe having a setting that allows us to check our mic (basially sound test)

[plucky ice]

in goose hunt could yall add and option to freeze the duck for like 10 seconds at the beginning so you dont spawn with the duck and instantly die

[hazy pivot]

We will likely spawn the duck alone in the future

[plucky ice]

ight

[radiant yacht]

Suggestion - An option that lets ducks see their duck partner's role, if there's a mimic goose then that goose will get a random duck role assigned to it that no other ducks has. 🧐

[vast tide]

Sounds good but mimic should also know what is his fake duck identity

[radiant yacht]

Yes, when the game starts then their fake role should be under their name

[vast tide]

In goose hunt a option to know who is the duck

[plucky ice]

Yo devs it be cool if yall posted a longer length version of the song that plays during the story trailer

[topaz mason]

status check on whether lobby is open or not:
there will be another feature on the main screen called "status check"
type the code of the lobby you want to check on, and the status check feature will say whether a lobby is open, full, or currently in-game
this can avoid players needing to constantly type the code and attempting to join a lobby

[remote lodge]

suggestion: allow the game host to change game modes while in lobby instead of having to back out and create a new lobby.

also suggestion: maybe not have the timeout for being inactive start until after a round has happened, or only in rounds not in lobbies? i got timed out just waiting for others to join my lobby. it was like 5 mins

[remote lodge]

sorry, i have so many suggestions since im in game rn. for the achievements, is it possible to get a counter on the ones like "play 100/1000 games" so you know where you are in getting it done?

[frank night]

It allows you to do this at the moment, you just can't change the map

[frank night]

Fairly sure you can find this information on Steam

[remote lodge]

im not on steam

i went to a website to get the game. was given the site by a streamer...

but it would be nice to see the counter in the closet area where you can purchase items

[remote lodge]

also, i haven't been able to change the mode. i was trying to do goose hunt (duck hunt maybe?) while waiting on more people but i couldn't change it. also, being able to change the map in lobby would be awesome as well

[frank night]

Was you the host?

[remote lodge]

yes

[frank night]

And you clicked on the other buttons at the top of the game settings window?

can you send a screen shot of what you see?

[remote lodge]

yea, but it wouldn't let me change. I can try again if you like

hang on. is there a way i can send you a video showing you it wont let me change the mode? i can't send video on discord since i dont have nitro

[hazy pivot]

Are you in a public game?

you can't change game modes in a public game without quitting the lobby

[frank night]

Ah yeah there is that

[hazy pivot]

this prevents hosts from snapping up people under a false pretense of a game mode

and then changing last minute

[remote lodge]

ah! that makes sense. Yes i am in public. but i feel like if a discussion is made with everyone in the lobby and we all agree on a different mode or map, we should have that option.

I like some of the people that keep popping up in my hosted games (i have had quite a few find me again bc i like to host) but it's frustrating to have to back out and make them find me again for a different mode or map

[frank night]

You can create a private game and post in LFG channels

[remote lodge]

im not sure if the people i have been playing with are on here or not tho. i can ask them

[last burrow]

Why not add the ability for the host to set up a vote to see if everyone wants to switch

[rich dagger]

The host says "If you want to switch, go to the left, if you don't want to, go to the right"

Boom, vote set up

[gentle sluice]

But where can I mail my vote?

[rich dagger]

Stick Stickley, PO Box 963
New York City, New York State, 10108

[last burrow]

I was mainly talking about setting up an ingame thing for public lobbies as they have to quit and make a whole new lobby to change game mode

As ive recently found out

[onyx osprey]

can we move the assassin's screen so they can also see how much time is left on the timer???

[marble warren]

only prob with that would b is that if u get lover assigned 2 u it kills ur run cause they won't want lovers winning

[radiant yacht]

for lover ducks, it can appear as a normal duck so it's easier

[marble warren]

or it could avoid lover now that i think about it

[gentle sluice]

Kill stinger for the falcon

[patent briar]

What’s a kill stinger?

[rich dagger]

The animation that pops up when you die

[marsh mural]

Increase sabotage timer of life support on nexus or change the mini game to be quicker

[plucky ice]

Really minor change but then again minor changes can be hell, let us in private matches change intercom time/intercom times you can use it.

[fleet crater]

https://tenor.com/view/death-fight-john-wick-cqc-gun-gif-5738494

^ stinger for the falcon

🙂

[tame bone]

Is he shooting rubber bullets or something?

[fleet crater]

paint balls

[sage carbon]

that's not in the upcoming patch but we can take a look at that later

[low lion]

I agree. If a duck sends the shuttle to the right then calls life support, and no one is on the right side, it's possible to just time out even if people get there ASAP. You have to hope you find a body at that point.

[plucky ice]

I play almost only nexus and ive never seen any crisis wins

[zenith lava]

I feel that the ducks in the dine and dash mode should be Silencer Ducks instead of Morphling Ducks. Because right now, morphlings can just easily morph into each other and then boom, vulture outed. If we changed it to silencers, then the vulture may have more of a chance. Maybe there could be a few morphlings to start, but as it is right now my friends and I all kind of feel as if the game mode isn't really functional because the ducks just prove themselves and then go on a vulture hunt. We've only played the mode without the falcon enabled so maybe that's what makes it feel that way, but I feel proving yourself instantly is a bit strong.

[sage carbon]

theres a big cooldown before the first morph

the point is that you can eventually morph to prove yourself

silencing someone also only works for meetings

[zenith lava]

Well, the point of it being Silencer is that they'd have no venting but also no visible effect like Morphling. Because every game of the mode I played with my friends, after the first game where I said that the ducks could just morph to figure out who the vulture is, ducks won every time because they just waited for the morph and then went on a vulture hunt after confirming who wasn't it. So the cooldown doesn't really seem like enough to hold them back that much.

Maybe falcon being thrown in will mix that up, but for the small player games it just seems unplayable.

[waxen galleon]

Without the ability to clear yourselves it would just turn into a complete bloodbath killing everyone on cooldown. It would actually result in the games going even shorter than they are now. There are some talks about potential changes in the future, but for now, Fowl Play is going to be the next big game mode, and I'm pretty sure it's going to be a big hit.

[tame bone]

Suggest changing the name of the Vulture in Dine and Dash mode to Winter Vulture

[zenith lava]

Well maybe only some could be morphlings then, while others are silencers? But then it'd lead to killing others in order to try and see who approaches the body, possibly hiding and trying to catch someone eating it. Maybe the timer could be increased to be balanced, or maybe there could be a way to adjust the gameplay a bit more since the mode is currently the least versatile out of all of them. Like getting to pick if you want just morphlings, just silencers, or a possible mix.

[sage carbon]

i will suggest that you dont play dine and dash with a small group

thats definitely not what its for

and also not without proximity chat

[waxen galleon]

I personally feel the mode is at it's best in a full 16 player lobby. The falcon having the ability to kill early allows the vulture to find him fairly quickly by putting the arrow on their screen. The Falcon should then hang around that body for a little bit, as they can typically get 2 kills in before the ducks kill cooldown comes up. Then it comes down to avoiding groups and picking off straggler ducks, and upon approaching a group, you instantly start accusing them and telling them to morph. Chances are their morph is on cooldown, and you can claim yours is too, you just used it to clear yourself, and then convince everyone to spread out and find the falcon to cover more ground. This will hopefully split the group up allowing you to pick them off easier.

[zenith lava]

Yeah, we used proximity but it was with a small group, will likely avoid the mode without a larger one then. Would be neat though if there was some customization still though, like kill and morph cooldown adjustment so groups would be able to fine tune things to fit how their group plays and their group amount.

[waxen galleon]

Yea, I'm a fan of more customization as well, and I think things like that will probably come with time, and potentially when the game is opened up to the modding community. The focus right now is to balance the game enough where you don't feel the need to adjust a lot of settings. In a game with this many roles, it's really easy to oversaturate and flood the menu with options, which leave players overwhelmed. I'd personally like to see somewhere down the line we'll get an advanced settings menu to customize a lot more things and fine tune them to suit our wants and playstyles.

The biggest complaint I see with people wanting more settings is to essentially turn the game into another game they're more familiar with... and while I guess there's nothing really wrong with that, it'll start leaving players really confused on how to actually play the game if everytime they played a role it interacted slightly differently, like for example say you had an option to turn the sheriff friendly fire off where only he would die if he fired wrong. Seems like a decent option, but if you join a lobby and that's turned off vs one that's turned on the role feels very different, and would leave a lot more players confused swapping from lobby to lobby. now imagine that with every role... it would be a nightmare if everything could potentially play differently.

[zenith lava]

Alright, fair enough.

[waxen galleon]

Don't get me wrong there are some things I would absolutely love more options on, and I'm sure over time some of that stuff may be available, especially if there is demand for it, but trust me when I say the devs, beta testers, QA, and mods read and consider everything. Our goal is to make things feel and play as best as possible. There are definitely some tweaks that dine and dash probably need especially in lower players. We've talked and discussed a lot of it. One of the things we even discussed at one point was adding a 2nd vulture, but ultimately it wouldn't change very much. The mode definitely favors the ducks, especially in smaller lobbies, but the beta team has had some really intense and close games while testing that all came down to the final 5 to 10 seconds, and blue team winning really feels great when it happens.

[plucky ice]

Achievements for winning as dodo (Out on my terms), vulture (Midnight snack), pigeon (Ac-hoo!) and falcon (Not if I stay) and then for like 250 duck wins have a hat unlocked that is the duck head from the trailer

[waxen galleon]

I personally would love to see a bunch more achievements, and I submitted somewhere around 90+ ideas for more lol.

[plucky ice]

It's fun to spend 30 minutes trying to get the diamond ring while your team yells at you 😉

[fresh ermine]

any chance that sabotage indicators involving the screen flashing become a toggleable setting clientside e.g. instead of having reactor causing the screen to flash maybe put a box with words in the top middle and keep the arrow
personally i've had it trigger minor seizures as i am epileptic so this would make the game more accessible to people with epilepsy :))

[hazy pivot]

^^^ I'll put this in right now

It's a good suggestion

It does show up in your task list regardless

with a highlighted countdown and there are audible clues

[fresh ermine]

thank u! appreciate it :))

[hazy pivot]

Will be in next update

[granite wave]

Hi or shoud i as HONK

[fresh ermine]

thank u so much!

[granite wave]

you guys should do a community cosmetics set

[hazy pivot]

Just keep in mind that during updates or changing directories (uninstall/reinstall) you may want to double check this setting before starting your games.

[untold creek]

Goose Role - diffuser goose - once a sabotage is active and that sabo has been triggered. the diffuser goose can go back and diffuse that sabotage so the ducks have to go back and reactivate it for it to be used again. maybe have a cool down or can only do it 1 time between meetings

[rain copper]

This is going to be the dumbest idea but 😭 hear me out ✨fart sounds✨

[rain copper]

I wanna specify: different sounds you can buy, different types of farts. Deep, high, longer, one that sounds like a Mario jump. All farts are different and unique in their own way just like us

[granite wave]

And most importantly https://youtu.be/MBmb5_TTT-w

Mercenary sounds like something I'd love to see.

[muted glen]

Sorry putting these in role ideas right now.

[ocean cypress]

Thanks just be sure to delete them from here when you're done 🙂

[muted glen]

Yep

[maiden ivy]

add mic sensitivity because when u speak sometimes ur name doesn’t turn yellow and no one can hear u so u have to talk louder
Mic sensitivity like in discord u can choose how much noise ur mic will pick up

[hazy pivot]

This setting is already in the game.

[hazy pivot]

Click the cog at the top right of the game and there are two settings for mic amp (which amplifies the sounds you mic already picks up) and mic sensitivity which determines the threshold your mic is being picked up at.

[maiden ivy]

i never seen the mic sensitivity

Is it in the audio

Thingy

[maiden ivy]

idk how i didnt see that

ima check later when i get on

[wheat summit]

is it possible to separate the main menu music from music in sound level?
because now there is a nice music in the new map and i increased the music volume but when you go back to the main menu it is really loud

[hazy pivot]

We can decrease the main sound volume to match 🙂 Thanks for the advice I'll do that now

[wheat summit]

thank you

[sharp cliff]

the new map is a haunted mansion right?

maybe have it so there is a low chance of one of the paintings Blinking

when somebody walks past

[drifting valve]

i feel like this game should get more promotion for the longest time i didnt even know it existed

[bright pelican]

It would be cool if ghosts could haunt the ducks. Have the voice be like... ghosty lol

[sharp cliff]

-ghostly voice-
"Its green....."

-Green was a duck-

[bright pelican]

Only the ducks could hear them. Not the geese

So this wouldn't be an issue 🙂

[shy oriole]

I'd love to have this as a feature for spooktober ^^

honestly having customizable corpses would be nice,
like the default one would be the one right now,
and another corpse could be like, a goose face down with a knife in its back

[unkempt saddle]

Being able to see your progress towards achievements would be nice.

[granite wave]

Wdym

[waxen galleon]

If you're playing on steam, you can see your progress in the achievement section.

[hazy pivot]

Stean achievements get really buggy sometimes though, I would never rely on these numbers (we have little/no control over them) but they are usually fairly accurate.

[rich dagger]

Basically always kill Xizta before intercoms have been activated

[hazy pivot]

New and good plan

I like it

[rotund isle]

Not a new plan.

It's my plan all the time.

🙂

[waxen galleon]

It typically happens anyway. I haven't even bothered using intercoms as much as I'd like. I'm sad on the new map there's isn't a pipe in the wall to yell into to have people hear you out the other side.

[zenith lava]

It'd be nice if we were able to move while in the sabotage menu, can often get us caught.

[waxen galleon]

That's what the fake tasks are for, and part of the strategy of using them. Stand by a nearby task when you're using them.

[zenith lava]

Fair enough

Can the matchbox task in the Manor stove please change? Or be made more clear if there's a certain trick? Because I had to try for literal minutes to try and get it to work.

[sage carbon]

you just strike the match against the side of the matchbox

like in real life

[waxen galleon]

Strong deliberate motions. Not short little strokes.

[sage carbon]

like in real life

[waxen galleon]

I'm curious how many people here have actually used a match. I'd like to see a poll taken.

[sage carbon]

with the internet, kids these days just download fire

[restive basin]

i have

we have a fireplace and i sometimes light it

[vast tide]

I used a match when I was 9 years I think

[zenith lava]

I did both strong and short, neither worked, but can try again.

[sage carbon]

try medium, back and forth

[waxen galleon]

Or

[sage carbon]

dang thats fast

advanced xizta match striking techniques

[waxen galleon]

I mean I know how to properly use the oven check.

[rotund isle]

[waxen galleon]

Winkz on the other hand... has much to learn.

It would be really cool if we could get some twitch integration with streams, so people watching could click on a "? integration" to see what roles and settings were turned on for the lobby they're watching.

[round owl]

I would also like to complain about striking matches too. It triggers me, as I have both a fear of flames (pyrophobia) and a fear of matches (spirtophobia) Could we change it to like opening a plastic water bottle? Or would that trigger the hydrophobics and environmentally concerned in your audience?

[waxen galleon]

No. Go away Kiggles. And stop manically laughing in my ear in discord while you post this message.

[rotund isle]

I second this opinion.

[fossil quail]

One day. This games gonna hit big and make the money's lolol. ❤️

[desert island]

You should be able to sit in the chairs in the lobby of Vallard Manor

[twin palm]

Just some thoughts after having played it a while with streamers

I usually miss that people in the lobby are streamers, and when watching I like to have a few streams open at the same time. At the same time, some people add ttv/nick in their names, which I see the use for, but regarding gameplay it's sometimes hard to pronounce

To be able to promote yourself, I think it would be fun to be able to add one external social link, maybe only to streaming by that reason, that will be shown on the screen during meetings, and possibly in the lobby, but not during normal gameplay. That would make it possible to have a simpler name than the channel name

Possibly opt out of showing that. But possibly not, since it's not possible to opt out currently from the ttv/ prefix

[lapis wing]

I’m expecting this to come when more Era’s come, but when selecting a map you should have to pick a era which a map will then be picked from there as well as when picking a era you should be able to change which map from THE ERA with the other settings. For example the spaceship “Era???” When you pick that era you get all 3 ship maps which can be changed in settings.

[magic yarrow]

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

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

[wheat summit]

is an intercom, in any form, will be add to the new map?
intercom was very funny at private lobbies

[sage carbon]

It's a bit anachronistic

[wheat summit]

from google: "The first telephone-based intercom was patented in 1894 by the Kellogg Switchboard and Supply Company."

[sage carbon]

mallard manor takes place in 1893, in an avian universe

but we will definitely consider it

[wheat summit]

unfortunate 😦

[fossil quail]

What about when you hold f bringing up a menu wheel of say 4 fart emojis to choose from. Pressing 1, 2, 3, 4 with f will put that assigned emoji? Assigning emojis where you normally equip them.

[plucky ice]

Let us buy a quack "fart" that just makes the goose open his mouth and a quack sound plays

[main tulip]

and a honk

[sage carbon]

This was considered during the medium rework a long time ago

we landed on disconnected players not being dead. and of course people can do the math

[gloomy tangle]

I want there to be a normal goose task that is shared with the duck task for the chandelier. I had a couple of people in my stream afterwards that was getting frustrated they were called out just because they were doing that task where alot of the others were shared.

[sage carbon]

it is in fact the only duck task in all maps that is not a shared task

[rich dagger]

High risk, high reward

[earnest island]

Can just call lights and then do it. Does get rid of a goose for sure if you play it right

[sage carbon]

or let a ghost duck do it

[earnest island]

Speaking of the new map. Will there ever be a plan for the new map to have secret passages in those cabinets for snoop and ducks to use?

[sage carbon]

thats not how closets work

it's likely that there will be a sewer system in the other maps in this era

just didn't feel quite right inside someone's house

[earnest island]

Was thinking more so there just secret false walls inside the closets. Fake closets basicly.

[sage carbon]

the owner of mallard manor did not have that in mind when he had it built

and as you can tell from all the dusting and disarray, he's fallen on hard times

[rich dagger]

Probably locked himself upstairs, completely oblivious to the goings-on below

[sage carbon]

renovating is expensive

[last burrow]

I like the idea of different maps having different gameplay mechanics, especially for lore reasons like the closets

[tall finch]

Having Private games become Public if needed but still keeping the Proximity? Idk if it has been suggested or not

[magic yarrow]

Please add proximity chat to public games.

This is something we have considered, but have ultimately decided against. We have taken the stance that if you make a private game, you are responsible for moderating it. The host will have their own rules, and have the responsibility of kicking people who they feel are breaking the rules.
Public lobbies are different in that players don't necessarily know the people in the game they are joining into. Kids might enter a game and can be harassed by others in some corner of the map if proximity chat is on. If someone is being rude or toxic in a meeting, everyone can hear it and can block their mics and block them.

So why don't we just separate servers into kids and 18+? Because a 12 year old can check off a box that says they are 18, and we'd rather prevent the potential abuse and toxicity.

If you want proximity chat, make a private game. If you need players, find a private game in the #lfg channels or make your own.

[waxen quarry]

Bakery type map?! That would be different

[wispy wedge]

Would it be possible to add a visual indicator in meetings that would display the count of completed tasks versus the total count of tasks assigned? Such as "(3/8)"

A small quality of life addition that would help provide information during meetings when trying to figure out how many tasks remain. Players with fake tasks could also have an indicator.

A player would only see their own counts, but ghosts could see for everyone.

[fossil quail]

Yesss the new map needs more places to hide as duck and swooper. In the walls with the mouse maybe hehe?

[last burrow]

i agree buff the swooper

[waxen galleon]

I really like this. This would help to see who is consistently not doing tasks, and offers up as a reminder in the meetings that you may be the one holding people up.

[gaunt thistle]

Might be better to make it show how many geese have finished all their tasks as I find the ambiguity of it puts pressure on the ducks near the end game

which can change how they play

[plucky ice]

There's still the task bar

[sage carbon]

its a fine idea, i will put it in the list with other potential QoL changes

[wispy wedge]

That's great Herbert. I appreciate that

[zenith lava]

Could there be a task at the chandelier sabotage task? Cause right now I feel it's a very weak sabotage, and it having no actual task there makes it weaker. Perhaps it could be a task to tighten the rope around the winch by winding it up?

[hazy pivot]

A sabotage that can get a kill but also permanently breaks the map in half until a meeting is insanely strong.

You have to take into consideration that every second a goose is walking around unnecessarily is a big bonus to the ducks.

Unlike other social deduction games, you have to consider the powers of ducks go way beyond just killing. Map manipulation has more and far reaching effects.

[zenith lava]

Ah, you can't move around it? Didn't realize that part, thought you could.

[hazy pivot]

For a sabotage THIS strong we specifically decided not to put a task there.

Also even as a ghost, you can murder people with it

There are a lot of ways to unlock it when its safer (like waiting until mid game).

[zenith lava]

Fair

[late flame]

we need 'bots' to replace people which leave games, and the bots auto complete the tasks of the person which left

[rich dagger]

When someone disconnects, their tasks are supposed to be removed from the task pool required for a goose task victory.

[raw pawn]

Add more stuff for ghosts to do. Dodos are useless once they are killed.

[ocean cypress]

Do you enable fake tasks in your lobby?

[raw pawn]

I don't believe so

[sage carbon]

we also have an upcoming game mode where 'dead' players will play a more active role

[lapis wing]

Is it the one that’s your adding???

[gilded heron]

Yay!!!

[raw pawn]

thanks

[sharp cliff]

instead of having
the character icon + name in square
it could be the players actually around the table, [able to walk around, but still has the basic voting + text chat] in a tiny area around the table [depending on the room size the table is in,
and when you vote a player [if anonymous voting is off,] your character will actually POINT to the player they voted,

[maybe when a player is voted off they are teleported near the airlock where the voted off player is forced inside? and every player gets "Are you sure about this?" before actually ejecting the goose]

[rich dagger]

I think you would end up with people too occupied with walking around farting and such that they would end up not paying attention to the discussion and voting.

[sharp cliff]

this would be like the voting room, VERY SCUFFED here

[sharp cliff]

maybe have it a toggleable setting?

but idk i just came up with this and i kinda gtg Rq,

[rich dagger]

What do you feel that would add to the discussion/voting process?

[sage carbon]

i think they do this in betrayal.io

or whatever that game's called

[desert island]

Have the ghosts be able to not participate in meetings, instead they can fly around and explore the map. At any time they can go look at the meeting again. While not in the meeting, ghosts can talk with other ghosts and they are unable to hear the people in the meeting talk. During the meeting, the ghost could see where the alive people last were, or the alive people could be around the meeting table

[gaunt thistle]

This would break silencer mechanics

If the silencer kills in front of you, all you need to do is wiggle on them the whole meeting

[desert island]

The thing is that that is double edged blade. Sure the silenced geese can wiggle on the killer, but at the same time neutral roles and ducks can act like they are silenced and try to get someone lynched like that. The voting room would add a who new dynamic not voting only but also for the silencer

But ig at the same time the "voting room" is pretty unoriginal

[rugged lava]

Role reveal on death option: friendly reveal only.

Game settings: Role selection for None/Maybe/Checked. Add a thumbnail view option instead of list. Just have the icon and check box. Could see all roles without having to scroll.

@strange gyro

[strange gyro]

You da real MVP

[radiant yacht]

A list of people that the pigeon has infected in a round? That would help a lot.

[strange gyro]

really wish the sign out button was in settings in the cogwheel and that the close application button was on the main screen.

I've played with newer players as well that don't realize they can close the application w/o having to sign out every time. Having to fish for the close application button is confusing.

[junior sundial]

totally agree

[sage carbon]

@strange gyro lots of people have suggested it

we know, we're overhauling our ui right now

[gaunt thistle]

Pigeon would never get a win if that existed and if it was made so only the pigeon saw it, it'd take away the skill required to remember who you sneezed on.

[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.

[granite wave]

Why isn't there an Arabic channel .. I call cuties

[waxen galleon]

You may want to rephrase your question. The team is very accommodating. Every channel has been created, as demand has come up, by the community asking properly.

[granite wave]

Then why no Arabic channel

We have yet to really have many arabic speaking people come to the channel as of yet. We create them as people ask for them and as we see different countries come online 🙂

Sometimes we don't see player data that reflects what language people are speaking.

If you want an Arabic LFG channel we can definitely accommodate it.

[granite wave]

Well that's all I wanted

Thnx

My English not good so

[hazy pivot]

Sure, but keep in mind that we're not very keen to being called racists. We actually have members of our development team from Arabic countries.

We're very multicultural at Gaggle Studios 🙂

[granite wave]

Aa i see ..np I take it out

[hazy pivot]

@granite wave شكرا لك لإخبارنا.

[granite wave]

Ahahaha

Shukran yabny

[plucky ice]

As ducks can we see sabo tasks in red because with fake tasks on it can be kinda confusing

[glacial mantle]

Falcon punch kill animation for the falcon

[last burrow]

so what about a map feature that could replace snoop and mechanic on a new map, that opens a secret passageway that you ACTUALLY travel through

its risky and ducks could use it too

but like maybe the "mechanic" could bring others in too, as it would open a door temporarily

[plucky ice]

would have to have a periodic vent sweep to prevent people hiding there

[last burrow]

like as an event happening? or just a person going in to patrol?

besides i wouldnt want to be stuck down there, a duck could just walk right in kill me and then the body would never be found.....this sounds a little op on some perspectives

[plucky ice]

i mean

if you can take people with you and the ducks morph they are screwed

[sage carbon]

fake tasks say [fake]

[plucky ice]

talking about on the map

[sage carbon]

you can click on the tasks and they'll point to them

[candid kayak]

Possibly make it so you can call tasks while walking just like you can oven the map and walk around.

[rugged lava]

add tick tac toe outside the map for ghosts to play with each other?

idk how to entertain ghosts. do your tasks dangit

[weak socket]

Only playable when your tasks are complete as a goose xD

[gaunt thistle]

Except I always finish my tasks before the first meeting, then need to find something to do for fifteen-twenty minutes, so by the time I'm a ghost, I've had my tasks done for so long its not fun

[rugged lava]

before the first meeting is the worst time to do tasks. i usually dont do any until after the first meeting.

[gaunt thistle]

I have noticed myself doing less tasks lately, finding myself more interested in spying on what people are doing, depending on what role I get

[rugged lava]

what if there were bonus tasks available after meeting certain requirements?

you could get more materials?

[signal violet]

You could add one 3d vr compatible map

[fervent talon]

There should be a semi private lobby option for pick up groups where proximity is allowed but there is a report system for when people do things that ruin the fun for everyone else, like teaming or soundboard spam.

[sage carbon]

thats essentially asking for proximity in public chat

[magic yarrow]

Please add proximity chat to public games.

This is something we have considered, but have ultimately decided against. We have taken the stance that if you make a private game, you are responsible for moderating it. The host will have their own rules, and have the responsibility of kicking people who they feel are breaking the rules.
Public lobbies are different in that players don't necessarily know the people in the game they are joining into. Kids might enter a game and can be harassed by others in some corner of the map if proximity chat is on. If someone is being rude or toxic in a meeting, everyone can hear it and can block their mics and block them.

So why don't we just separate servers into kids and 18+? Because a 12 year old can check off a box that says they are 18, and we'd rather prevent the potential abuse and toxicity.

If you want proximity chat, make a private game. If you need players, find a private game in the #lfg channels or make your own.

[late flame]

we need to balance the number of tasks in a lobby, seriously. We get lobbies where theres so many tasks, because people want items, it just makes it so difficult for geese to win. Here's a more complicated idea, which may a bit difficult to implement, but maybe something which shows the balance of the current settings in terms of ducks vs geese with the current settings? I'm sure if you log the current settings, and check the win rare, you'll be able to use the data for such things. The balance of some lobbies, is really bad, for sure. Some people won't turn roles on for goose which would help them win, etc. I refuse to play in such lobbies lol

[ocean cypress]

Host can set the number of tasks in the game settings. More experience Geese can win with max tasks (max set to 8)

[late flame]

It's hard to win with that many tasks, most the time, the game balance is usually way off to win by tasks, most will resort to finding ducks to win the game

[ocean cypress]

If you don't like the the lobby settings you indeed should not play in those lobbies, or create your own 🙂 We give you a lot of customization options. Different players have different play styles and not everyone will align well with each other and thats ok

[late flame]

It would be nice if we could just have a system, which would show a balance of the game settings. For those which may not have a good idea, players themselves will/may not know the best settings for a fair fun game

[ocean cypress]

we found the more info you give players, the less likely they are to read them. Better to keep things simple

[waxen galleon]

Everyone has their own playstyles. I for example prefer not to win by tasks. I would rather lose the game by incorrectly guessing the wrong players. As a long time player, sometimes I feel 8 tasks is not enough, but posts like this make me realize that if the number of tasks were increased further, it would greatly impact people that enjoy winning by tasks. The game, at least to me is not meant to be won by tasks, but more to keep an impending timer on the ducks to insure they keep killing fast enough.

[late flame]

This is why I don't bother with tasks if I see too many. If we aren't technically going to win by tasks, then let's get straight to it and start finding the ducks, that's how I play anyways, since tasks victory are a low percent of the games i actually ever win as a goose.

[hazy pivot]

Sometimes I don't bother but doing a lot of tasks before first meeting puts the ducks in a an awkward position. This is all meta strategy at this point.

You want to force ducks into making bad plays as a goose. That's how you win. We are introducing the Hitman/Bodyguard roles soon too

[waxen galleon]

Yea it comes down to the playstyle, how new the players are, and various things. I end up blitzing my tasks, and finish them all within a meeting or two. With 8 tasks I can usually finish half of them before the first meeting. I've found myself slowing that down a bit depending on some of the groups I'm playing with, especially if it's with my weekly game group, and we're just playing to have fun. I always blitz my tasks as a ghost though for those crafting materials!

[arctic crystal]

👍

[ocean cypress]

honestly the team moves so quick, by the time we add it to prospective birds, it'll already be out

prospective birds are more birds we are considering, not birds that are being implemented

[sharp cliff]

dev speedrun [23:21. glitchless hopefully]

[plucky ice]

Be nice to have some info lol

[hazy pivot]

the more time we waste giving you info the less time we spend actually doing it 🙂

I mean we could spend our resources on putting out tweets of new colors of geese we are contemplating or we could just put them in the game. At the end of the day I think people would just rather be able to play the roles than hear about them. AMIRITE?

[ivory locust]

I'm gonna agree on this one

[plucky ice]

Nah I just want to hear about an endless stream of roles that will never exist, oh wait #🐣︱classic-role-ideas exists 😉

[hazy pivot]

We have released roles that were on that list when they made sense. It'a all about meta play and giving people a chance to get used to the current rule-set. If you would like I am more than happy to ensure that you never get them 🙂 DM me your account email and we'll remove you entirely from the role selection.

🙂

[night meteor]

I'm sure it's probably been suggested before, but a view button for kill stingers in the customization so players can see what type of kill animation they're buying with a short clip of it would be nice!

[gaunt thistle]

Will there be any way to get limited time items again in future?

[maiden coyote]

i think this is a big brain idea
you can save your General, Roles, Meetings and voting, Movement and vision, and cooldowns

[frank night]

We have that on our list, not sure when it will be done though yet.

[wind sparrow]

Question would there be a way to put a notification when the lobby is full instead of just sending us to the main screen?

[candid kayak]

Ideas: Make text notification in meetings for people typing bigger as well as the microphone, or put voice bar like you have in player setting under role to determine easier who is speaking at that time and who is too loud, just makes it easer.

Ideas: Make it so you can walk and call sabotages just like you can walk with the map up on your screen so you dont get called out instantly for standing still when sabotage is called even if youre goose.

[full field]

a very simple but practical idea a button where u can hear yourself(and everyone else gets muted) so u can tune in the sensitivity and amplifier

[hazy pivot]

This is part of the skill cap of using a sabotage, it forces people to lie more; also opens up a lot of doors for discussions. It was carefully thought out.

[raw pawn]

Allow ghosts in meetings to ignore survivors and have the ability to voice chat together

[mighty pagoda]

YES please

[stuck stream]

even with the rough start. this has been a mostly positive community and I am glad to see it doing well

everyone has generally been kind

have fun and be well everyone

[sharp cliff]

achievement idea's :
"Oops! i missed!"
kill 10 innocent geese as sheriff
"Shot first"
kill 10 ducks as sheriff / vig

[wooden hamlet]

The ability to make a room public/private once lobby is started would be nice. when you only have a few people you play with on the regular, but not enough for a full game it would be nice to make sure they got in before you make the room public

[sage carbon]

@wooden hamlet we have a friend system planned after mobile release, which might address these sisues

[raw pawn]

A failsafe for lobby disconnections (like you're offered to be reverted with everyone else to the lobby)

[hazy pivot]

We may be able to do this for lost connections once we switch our server architecture in the near future. This is a feature that only larger companies can really afford to do 🙂 As we grow we can upgrade to allow for these awesome features which are all on our list of possible upgrades.

[raw pawn]

Thanks 🙂 I understand

[wooden hamlet]

\0/ yay

[junior sundial]

a friend system would be epic

[gaunt thistle]

Was talking to some people yesterday and the day before who thought modifiers would be a neat addition. For example, all roles remain the same, but host can assign a few extra abilities that get randomly shuffled among the players, one person might get slightly faster run speed, or one person's vision might restrict a little more than someone else's who's vision extends a touch farther than standard. To ensure it cannot be used to pinpoint somebody's role, it can go to any goose, duck or neutral at random.

Or the ultimate give away modifier, which will be both hindrance and help, would be the bean modifier, which forces the duck or goose who is unfortunate enough to get it, to constantly pass gas

[granite wave]

^^

[drifting valley]

I suggested some sort of a ranking system before and the reply was that it's hard for a social game but i hope the game will have more that you be gunning for after getting the cosmetics you want and not let it be just a casual sit-and-go at that point.

I would still suggest a ranking system and season (a la fps games that hooks people) because I can't think of any hooks and I want the game to take over especially during these times. I can easily imagine a ranked game and some little merits along with getting high in it but haven't thought of how that would be executed so again, just a suggestion.

[hazy pivot]

We do have a new game mode coming up soon that will have some sort of ranking system and also a draft mode with seasons 🙂

In due time.

[drifting valley]

Wow; it's almost as if my suggestion was taken. I love how ping matters little so we're able to play globally.

Word of mouth can be a way to market GGD and I hope lots more people will know about the game as I'm sure it will absolutely help them too during these times.

[hazy pivot]

We hope so, we don't really have the budget to market 🙂

We're just putting everything into making the game perfect.

[drifting valley]

That's actually more impressive! Streamers caught wind of GGD by how? Rhetorical, of course. Keep going! 😄

[candid garnet]

How about a way for the ghosts to leave messages/hints as to who the duck is? Maybe any dead duck ghosts can also have the option to sabotage the geese ghost messages too?

[opal crane]

Add a button for the ghosts to turn on and off the ability to hear living people that are near

[rich dagger]

There are no current plans for dead players to communicate with the living

The original Medium was reworked because of this and it being too powerful

[opal crane]

This would just be the dead hearing the living, not the other way around

[rich dagger]

My message was in reply to xameliax. Though the devs have also said they do not intend for ghosts to be able to hear the living.

[opal crane]

Yep, just making sure!!

Ah, ok then, thanks

[raw pawn]

Maybe make it so the font isin't all caps. kinda weird to always scream

[bright pelican]

I think it would be cool if the dead could haunt the the ducks lol. But I am no programmer 🤣 so I don’t know how feasible it is. I know proxy chats for other social deception games have this feature snd it’s very fun especially for content creators but also I kinda like being able to hear the living when I’m dead. Sometimes I see two people staring at eachother who are alive when I’m dead and would love to hear what they’re saying 🤣 content gold sometimes lol

[raw pawn]

I like that but it'd probably be a private only feature otherwise kinda makes games too boring

[bright pelican]

Boring how? So one of the things I liked doing when I was dead with this other proxy chat thing was finish my task and then haunt my killer lol

[raw pawn]

They'd show the answer

[bright pelican]

Doesn’t affect the game since I’m already dead lol.

[waxen galleon]

If the dead could communicate with the ducks, then they could potentially also tell them who different roles are, and that's not really something that the team is interested in doing.

[raw pawn]

^

[bright pelican]

I actually just thought about that. Could be a toggle thing where if role reveal is on then haunting is off. But I understand and makes total sense 🙂

[raw pawn]

Still, the person who killed them would be revealed

Maybe the idea of some sorta halucination whcih could be done on the person who killed them to distract them is an idea but not direct communication

[ocean cypress]

Wouldn't be difficult to implement on a programming standpoint, however it would be a user experience thing. Having the dead being able to hear both the dead and the living becomes chaotic and confusing. Not something we want to tinker with right away. Leave the dead dead, and the living living

[raw pawn]

^

[bright pelican]

I understand. Like I said. I’m thinking of it more from a content creator standpoint and not a developer/player standpoint

Thank you all for ur input and constructive discussion 🙂

[half hill]

Quick question... does the ducks have morals, remorse, and regret? As the lord is SUPER important to me.

Because if they don't have morals, showing the ghost of the dead to them would hold no consequences, and be meaningless

[waxen galleon]

The duck believe when they die, they go to the big sky.... in the sky.

[half hill]

So wait, does that mean they believe they are doing good? Or are they justifying their actions?

[rich dagger]

Nobody believes they are the bad guy. Look at the geese

[waxen galleon]

Here is the story so far, all we know is the Duck Empire has collapsed, we don't know how the war started, what the conflict was, or who is portrayed as the good side. https://youtu.be/lV-kqtw3Jxg

[trim pumice]

yea technailly geese didnt help da ducks

[half hill]

So going under the impression that the ducks have no remorse for the geese... the ducks being able to see who they killed means absolutely nothing

[waxen galleon]

From a gameplay perspective, having ducks be able to see the dead geese, can result in a lot of confusing and distracting messages. The old medium used to be able to see the dead, and many times the dead ducks have convinced the dead geese that the wrong person was a duck, to get the medium to vote them out. It honestly didn't add anything positive to the game, and ended up being a very powerful role, with no real good way to counter it as the dead has accurate information with roles reveal, and even so without it.

[raw pawn]

I believe medium is a bit underpowered now

[rich dagger]

Yup

[raw pawn]

Its very hard to make a role that interacts with ghosts balanced

[rich dagger]

Still useful though

[sage carbon]

I disagree that the medium is underpowered

[trim pumice]

yes I miss the old medium which he usually brought the Ouija board

[waxen galleon]

Compared to what it was, yes the medium is nowhere near as strong. The medium is still in a really good place right now.

[trim pumice]

yea you could expose a duck/falcon killing a canadain

[rich dagger]

Now the Birdwatcher is underpowered

[waxen galleon]

Birdwatcher makes me sad now. I miss the previous version of the birdwatcher :(

[trim pumice]

or a duck self report quickly

[half hill]

given the power to the ducks who have no benefit other than knowing who is a duck(them) and on a lore stand point, having no remorse for those who have wronged them, wouldn't feel a thing if all of a sudden they saw the ghosts of who they have killed

[sage carbon]

I dont really follow this remorse angle

so, i think a lot of players are potentially misusing roles like the medium

and on top of that, they are comparing the power levels as if they were supposed to be equivalent

there is a numerical advantage to the geese side

[rich dagger]

Whether the birds in game have remorse had nothing to do with the player at the controls

[sage carbon]

and therefore, the power levels of the geese roles have to have drawbacks or be lesser for it to be balanced

there's a minimum of 9 geese, and up to 13

[waxen galleon]

From gameplay it could still be exploited. The geese could fly around other ducks and make the duck think that duck is a mimic, or whatnot. It doesn't really add much to the gameplay of it all. There may be an upcoming game mode where the dead can interact with the living directly, which might be more of what you're looking for.

[half hill]

Ghost race to complete tasks, lmao

[waxen galleon]

That doesn't sound very fun to me!

[hazy pivot]

whoever dies first wins

[waxen galleon]

Someone call the shuttle!

[rich dagger]

Whoever activates the shuttle gives the win to whoever spawned on the right side

[half hill]

First ghost gets to chose someone to take with them, except the killers

You know, give the person some company, and only available in private games

[rich dagger]

That's already possible with Lovers in play

[half hill]

Well, yeah, its like that, but not the lovers

Edit: no, I got a role, not an idea

[hazy pivot]

I'll look into this

@sage carbon can you add this to our QoL list?

[golden parrot]

The first four tasks on your list as a duck will be the sabotage tasks. If you click on one a yellow arrow will point to where you need to go. The fake tasks have fake written in brackets beside them whereas the sabotage ones do not. With the new update tasks are removed from your list once completed instead of lighting up green. So if you don't see any sabotage tasks your duck partner(s) have already completed them.

[ocean cypress]

@golden parrot I don't think Penduck was looking for an explanation for the sabotages, just mentioning if you look at the mini-map rather than the list have the minimap show markers as red instead of yellow like the other tasks.
Shawn already addressed its a Quality of Life fix that we have added to the list

[golden parrot]

Okay Sorry Just trying to help Oops. That's a good idea.

[lean grove]

could the voting time somehow be increased beyond 60 seconds in the options menu? when playing with a full lobby it's hard listening to everybody and most of the time people talk over each other because there isn't enough time

[ocean cypress]

You can set the discussion time to 60 sec and 60 sec voting time, thats a lot of meeting time!
2min should more than suffice for a large meeting. Need to maintain some order in meetings! Geese are a civilized species

[plucky ice]

if we could right click people during meetings and adjust volume that be cool

[sage carbon]

you can pull up the player volumes screen, and you'll be able to both hear and see who's speaking while being able to adjust their respectiev volumes

[last burrow]

Oh

[opal crane]

An option to remove normal geese from classic plus would be nice, if not enough roles are selected for the amount of people then it would be locked but once there is enough potential roles for the lobby the option should be made available

[sage carbon]

we're continuing to add roles, and the host can just checkmark off every goose

[gusty storm]

Local game
When you don't have internet and you are with the friends at the same place

[hazy pivot]

If we weren't a free to play game and a licensed based game this would be a possibility 🙂 Unfortunately it's not something we can do.

[gusty storm]

I can't understand why these are related.
But with these things (google auth ban and no local game), again as always Iranians can't enjoy playing :( I know we doesn't matter
But if there is a way, it's a good feature.

[odd knot]

would it be possible to create roles for the lfg-lobbys? a german role, english role etc? 🙂 So it would be possible to just pin the guys of one group^^

[hazy pivot]

In order for us to give a LAN version of a game like Among Us or other off the shelf games we would need to disclose our server side code and allow people to fully host and authenticate users. This is a problem for us because it would essentially be giving our game and engine out for free to players. If we charged for a license this would be absolutely fine. It's the same reason why you can't host your own Destiny, Overwatch, Path of Exile, League of Legends, Warframe, Dota, Brawl Stars etc... server.

[ocean cypress]

what would the purpose of this be? I wouldn't want to allow individuals to ping large groups. If you're looking for a group, you would already be looking in the corresponding LFG channels 🙂

[odd knot]

well, at the moment im looking for only germans for our german speaking group. if there would be an role, i could pin the role, so only the german speaking guys get a signal^^

[hazy pivot]

Please keep in mind that google authorization ban is not from us, it's a government policy and something we have no control over. We are planning on releasing on mobile very soon and that may open up accessibility for your country a bit more.

[last burrow]

The ability to gift gold to other players? I feel as though this option may actually increase the amount of gold purchases for this game and people could help a friend out.

[ocean cypress]

we are in the process of adding gifting to our webstore

[last burrow]

Oh cool

[last burrow]

Mimic to be auto disabled when theres 1 duck?
