I dont think it because of that. They just really like the color purple lol.

[waxen galleon]

My group fights over purple too, they have custody agreements.

[nocturne remnant]

i like the cream color it my favorite but i dont mind being another color if i have to.

[mint plume]

I feel like it could be a toggable option to allow multiple birds of the same color -- It goes along with the color blind or blind votes -- People already try to clone eachother by using the same names and/or outfits, this would just take it a step farther.. And it allows someone to join your lobby not to sit and beg or demand for a certain color. - Toggable incase the group or host decide they want everyone to have their own color

And for those who have bought many cosmetics.. how about a Randomize option. Either randomize on click or randomize every lobby, never during an active game though -- that I'd consider maybe in rejects mode

[gray latch]

The multiple of the same colours I can see causing a lot of frustration with people wearing the same costume and name to troll lobbies.
The randomize I completely support.

[mint plume]

It would take your voice recognition in proxy to know who to vote for - when the panel goes yellow - hence why I said toggle - like mimic and blind ducks not everyone would always want it -- the point was to add chaos without ruining role balance

plus not all games would have clones, maybe 3 people wearing yellow have different names and outfits. some people get really toxic if you "have their color" --- It would also allow us to do all pink birds for cancer week, red white and blue for example with USA independence or another countries colors --- a Red Vrs Blue team scenario... it just allows for more choices, though I do understand confusion and possibility of devs not wanting it in balanced gameplay -- hence the toggle and hence the consider it a reject mode

[sharp citrus]

GGD in VR

[hazy pivot]

no

[mint plume]

vr just doesn't work to me for games like this

[sharp citrus]

😦

lol

[waxen galleon]

That would require shifting the entire game into 1st person 3D. That sounds like way too much work, and a less enjoyable experience.

[mint plume]

I feel like a 3d game would need to expand on the universe and be a different type of game. IT can be enjoyable but likely they would want to create a unique game and apply their universe to it. I could see an MMO, but I say that for most universes.... Where is my World of Diablo?

[waxen galleon]

Diablo Immortal is coming. You have a phone, right?

[mint plume]

totally not the same thing or even close

and no, no phone

unless you count a rotary landline

[rare flame]

Didn't even know those still existed outside of museums.

[mint plume]

lol it still functions but most places require a touch-tone to use the automation

[waxen galleon]

Doing better than me, I haven't upgraded from my tin cans and string yet.

[mint plume]

%suggestion
A background win image instead of the black/pink/etc. screen -- the highlight colors can still be there for lover/vulture/duck/dodo/etc.... But imagine if Titanic was the map.. Goose win and it misses the iceberg, Duck wins and the ship is cracked and sinking

Mallard Manor:
Geese win: The mansion in the background is all clean and the sun is shining.
Duck win: The mansion is burning.
Falcon: body bags everywhere infront of mansion with news crews
Dodo: ??? Cthulhu bird is eating the building??
Lovers: It is all spiffied up for a wedding with a limo, a giant cake, etc.

Goosechapel:
Ducks win: City burns?
Goose: Parade?

Either Space ship:
Geese win: Ship lands on planet. Tons of geese celebrating in background
Duck win: Duck mothership tractor-beams the goose ship
Falcon: Falcon mothership? Or Falcon is in an escape pod?
Dodo win: Ship in space is destroyed / pieces and bodies floating everywhere (cause tech if dodo gets voted out everyone dies)
Vulture: Ship lands at McDuck King for some Goose-Burritos

This idea would use an artistic drawing of the maps, not the maps themselves... So how the ships would look from outside and not just the 2-d play map.. Mansion from what a normal perspective would be, GooseChapel -- a view of the city from the water?

[dense granite]

Thanks @mint plume for your feedback, we'll be sure to look at it

[mint plume]

I know it might be too many graphics but it'd be fun to see

[rapid cargo]

I like it

[abstract barn]

%suggestion
Ability to see who's in which vents as a ghost

[dense granite]

Thanks @abstract barn for your feedback, we'll be sure to look at it

[granite wave]

%idea
Spectator mode,when you die you can click a button

When you click it,your screen will be that bird’s pov

[dense granite]

Thanks @granite wave for your feedback, we'll be sure to look at it

[wise spruce]

When I played with a colorblind person they just asked for people to use names instead of colors
If you see a color kill, you can look at them and see their name when voting

[toxic summit]

Cosmetics are also interestingly helpful for the colorblind.

"I saw someone kill, they were dressed as a plague doctor"

[rare flame]

That's fair during reports for others, but it is still a slight problem if you're the one seeing it and can't be sure if it was a red one or a green one. That's where the colour restriction comes in.

[vast jackal]

Call duck tasks “sabotasks”

[floral pilot]

Probably has been said before but would a notepad in the game be an idea? Where you can put some stuff that had been said or things you want to remember

[hot stone]

%idea
I have 2 suggestions. 1) Maybe we can have the name light up yellow with who is talking while your in the game (not in meetings, in game) similar to how it does it in the lobby because when two people are next to me, it always confuses me to who is who.

2. The other confusing thing is when your vigilante, the kill button doesn't go away like it used to. I think it would nice if that were to happen again.

[dense granite]

Thanks @hot stone for your feedback, we'll be sure to look at it

[hazy pivot]

Idea 1 can't happen because of morphling, idea two it was changed because we received A LOT of bad reviews and bug reports that the vigilante was broken. Taking it away made people feel like their role was gone.

[wise spruce]

Names and cosmetics?

[rare flame]

This is more of a fan community thing. See if other people like the sound of it, and they will hopefully start using it as it spreads. Kind of like how "sus" got started.

[rare flame]

Nothing is preventing you from having a RL notepad as you play. Might waste a bit of paper, but everything has sacrifices.

[rich dagger]

When I'm Assassin I will sometimes take notes on suspected roles. Especially if I see two people constantly together and they seem like Lovers, then get that sweet double kill Assassin shot

[lime kayak]

or alt tab to your pc notepad

[hot stone]

I completely see the point and understand that it won't happen because of that. However, just wanted to say when I read that, my first thought was "who in their right mind would speak while morphed."

[lime kayak]

I mean their role kind of is gone tho? They can only kill once

[sage carbon]

i always speak while morphed

if you're in a crowd, just pretend to be morphed as someone else

[hot stone]

Really? I can't if that was meant as a joke or not but I just figured it would get you ousted as soon as you spoke in meeting unless your a good impressionist. Interesting to know

[rare flame]

In a meeting, you always appear as yourself.

In a group with prox chat, though, it might be coming out of someone else...

[sage carbon]

in a crowd, not in a meeting, lol

[rose thunder]

Maybe we can incorperate a trading system in lobbies for crafting materials?

[rare flame]

There is a revamp on crafting materials in the works, but I think news on it is scarce so far.

[hazy pivot]

Confirmed, crafting is going to be heavily revamped

DO NOT get rid of your materials

spend them if you want the items

but do not GET RID OF THEM

What I mean is don't delete your accounts with them

they have value

[rose thunder]

oooooooooooo now im curious

[gray latch]

I am very close to an item that I want. With crafting being revamped, would it be wiser for me to get it before things change or wait for the update?

[hazy pivot]

assume nothing will change for the purposes of getting something you want

you may benefit a little by waiting but the waiting for the time for crafting to come out wont be worth the difference

might as well get and enjoy what you want now

[nocturne remnant]

are yall going to do any crafting christmas outfits??

[hazy pivot]

We have holiday outfits in the works

not sure if we're going to make em craftable yet

we do want people to save their crafting materials / buy death stingers

we're surprised at how few of the death stingers people are buying

[merry shard]

the materials needed to craft them come at a snail's pace is what I'm guessing

I'm 15 hours deep now and I think I have less than 10% of what I would need to make one of them

[nocturne remnant]

i got the death stinger all ready.. but ok im really looking forward to holiday outfits

[sharp citrus]

The materials do come rather slow. I don't see myself ever being able to craft one

But I'm okay with that

[hazy pivot]

The drop rate is similar to the space themes, while players who were playing with only the space theme were able to craft the space death stingers because there was only space maps available at that time.

[nocturne remnant]

i bought the dilated eye cause they was adorable

[merry shard]

im sure ill collect enough eventually, im just assuming thats why the buy-in has been so low for them

[nocturne remnant]

i have all the crafting items patiently waiting for something new to appear

[hot stone]

I'm just missing 2 stonks and I can't get any on the print money task no matter how much I do it like most people say they have gotten stonks on gc

[vast jackal]

and then you find out that one of them is bodyguard the hard way

[rich dagger]

I think more people might get them if they were able to preview the stinger, though I understand that would be more resource-intensive

[merry shard]

%idea
There needs to be a newspaper or magazine rack or something on each lobby map where you can actually click on it and open it up to read upcoming developments, modes and updates.
Call it The Daily Honk and make it goose honk at you when you open it!

[dense granite]

Thanks @merry shard for your feedback, we'll be sure to look at it

[rare flame]

Teasing future releases in-game would be fun. Then again, maybe Gaggle doesn't want to give away information outside of this Discord and Canadian_Thor's streams.

[mint plume]

oh they mentioned this new map months ago

[coarse kestrel]

hey i got an idea there should be a thing where you can pick up a knife in the lobby and you can kill players in the lobby while you wait for players to join

[trim pumice]

GIMME THAT KNIFE GIMME THAT GIMME

NO I WANT IT

Imma imagine people will try to grab a knife

[rare flame]

And how do players revive in the lobby? Or are they now ghosts until the game launches?

[trim pumice]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[static umbra]

I don't know if it's ever been discussed or thought about, but one QOL update that might be helpful for private lobbies is Twitch auth. or Discord auth. (person has to link their Twitch account or Discord account to join)

[silver path]

Private lobbies are intended for those playing with friends. If you give your code out then that’s up to you. Some people don’t play GGD through discord or twitch 🤷🏻‍♀️ And overall GGD just doesn’t want to moderate private lobbies.

[hot stone]

I could be wrong but I thought he meant like it wasn't required but could do if you wanted to similar to how you can link your twitch to discord. But I thought that was already implemented

[hazy pivot]

We may be introducing premium accounts which will only be able to play with other premium accounts. The initial small paywall will prevent players from making their rounds into the games. In addition the funds will be used for special events, pre-release access, and stronger moderation. We are considering this as an option.

It's just unfortunate that people don't just use the kick button more often, or just collectively work together and mute people.

The tools are there to moderate private games, it's up to the hosts to do it.

[cloud ravine]

I understand where thats coming from, but wouldnt that exclude people from playing together? Example: if I have a premium account and some of my friends dont, i wanna be able to play with them. Otherwise I wouldnt be incentivized to get the premium account, even though I want to get a premium account.

Perhaps make it an option to choose when hosting a lobby, whether its a premium only lobby or free for all?

[hazy pivot]

Oh yeah of course you could choose.

its mostly for public lobby and posting private codes on forums/discords

to find new cool people.

[cloud ravine]

ahhh makes a lot more sense. Thanks for clarifying 🙂

[patent briar]

Maybe a friends + premium option when making a lobby when a friends list is added. Might be useful for streamers who want to play with a friend or two but don’t want trolls joining as well

[hazy pivot]

Too many options already, that's why it's just an idea 🙂

[gaunt thistle]

%idea - rotating farts. Are you tired of the same old flatulence? Wish you could express your inner assassin and lol all in the same game? So do I.

[dense granite]

Thanks @gaunt thistle for your feedback, we'll be sure to look at it

[gaunt thistle]

As seen on TV!

[rare flame]

Probably could be done. Just put a Random option on the farts, just like with the kill stingers.

[hazy pivot]

We could maybe make a fart wheel

but we want to limit communication through emojis in non-voice prox chat games

[hollow beacon]

Not sure if FOB made the suggestion for me but i came up with an idea the other night...

Since the maps have a Newspaper in the lobby i was thinking what if that newspaper had a purpose like clicking on it and seeing news about upcoming updates, events, changes, drops, etc. and call it something like: The Daily Duck, The Goose Gazette, New Hyonk Times

[vast jackal]

add the ability to join games that are ongoing as a ghost if that game isnt full

of course they cant do task and doesnt get counted by medium

[livid cairn]

@vast jackal the problem with this is if you have multiple accounts you could login wth another account and use it to cheat. asmuch as i would love this idea it would be abused

[vast jackal]

i mean

if you got multiple accounts you can just play the game with 2 people

and the same thing would happen

or maybe just put them in a waiting room

[gaunt thistle]

As I understand it, it isn't possible with the current lobby system and remaking it from scratch would be too much work.

[vast jackal]

aw

[granite wave]

A kill animation for the Pidgeon role would be pretty awesome

[vast jackal]

would everyone see it when they lose or…?

unless they mean a kill animation with the pigeon being the one that was killed

[granite wave]

I mean, instead of the game just going to a win screen, there could be a visual animation of the infection killing everybody and then the screen announces that Pidgeon won

[rapid cargo]

According to the lore pigeon kills everyone like 20 years after the events of the game

[plucky hound]

hi! I have an idea, when someone report, the one who reported sould be able to speak freely for 5 second without anyone canceling them.

so u will be able to explain yourself/what happend

[granite wave]

Yes i agree!

Also have an idea, you can have a ingame notepad (only accessable on meetings) to write on to remember all the information you get. The only thing is that you have to write down the information.

[rare flame]

Coming in the next patch, except for 10 seconds. (I think I prefer 5 seconds personally, but eh.)

[granite wave]

les go!

[plucky hound]

yes, i was thinking about that for a long time so, im happy its comming next patch

[hazy pivot]

Literally waiting for iOS to approve and we will patch the game

[gray latch]

This is already in the upcoming update

It is optional for private and required for public.

[vast jackal]

wouldnt that make silencer kinda suck

actually no that would make whoever reported the body sus

just talk for a bit and then just stop talking

[rare flame]

Well, the reporter gets 10 seconds to talk, and if they don't, they either don't realize or are silenced.

It makes 15 second discussion more awkward

[vast jackal]

yeah but public lobbies have less than 10 brain cells

they will just assume the reporter went silent

[prime sky]

%idea maybe add a filter option to where you can make it you where it shows ONLY voice chat lobbies

Also maybe save filter settings even after you join a game

[dense granite]

Thanks @prime sky for your feedback, we'll be sure to look at it

[hot stone]

%idea random mode for clothes, hats, and farts like the death stingers have

[dense granite]

Thanks @hot stone for your feedback, we'll be sure to look at it

[jaunty jackal]

The English Channel is overrun with THAI speakers in the AM for the US. Perhaps adding a THAI language for them to find each other easier.

[rare flame]

@jaunty jackal I think this one might be in the next update, along with all the language translations, but we'll find out once it's fully released.

[hazy pivot]

Waiting on iOS to update us

When Goosechapel launched we had about 0 Thai players.

Now 20-30% of our player base is Thai, we are adapting as fast as we can to international players = )

iOS - > Our update has been trapped in their approval process for 24 hours + now.

They are the only thing stopping us from an update.

[jaunty jackal]

understandable.. Ya'll are doin a great job!

@wanton nova

[rare flame]

In the meantime, you can always look for games over in #lfg-english-all-ages or the over 18 one if you prefer. You won't be running into any Thai games in either of those. 🙂

[rapid cargo]

%idea Perhaps a setting only for private games in which you can add some more color choices?

[dense granite]

Thanks @rapid cargo for your feedback, we'll be sure to look at it

[silver path]

Most people would probably turn it on and leave out people who can't see between the certain colors or they might not want to speak up

[rapid cargo]

I guess so

[winged meadow]

%idea a way to make a private room public and go back to private

[dense granite]

Thanks @winged meadow for your feedback, we'll be sure to look at it

[rapid cargo]

You can't do that because there's settings only available for private games

I'm somewhat sure

[worthy tangle]

Yeah proximity chat

[winged meadow]

yeah but it would be nice to have that toggle. the only thing in private rooms that isn't in public is prox chat that I have really seen. but it would cut down on people going to public rooms and yelling about prox chat rooms while spamming the codes and then leaving

they could just go public and go back to private once the room is filled up

[mint plume]

they don't want kiddos in public to be stuck with weirdos in private

[worthy tangle]

So lock room but prox toggle?

[winged meadow]

you aren't stuck if you are in private. you can leave a private room just as easy as a public one

[mint plume]

you just said you'd siphon people from public lobbies by turning it into a private -- yes they can leave, but it goes against what they keep telling us about public games vrs private, they won't do this

[winged meadow]

but people get syphoned anyways by the lobby hoppers that go to spam the private codes to fill out their private room

[mint plume]

they choose to go, big difference

[mint plume]

I could actually see them giving a toggle to allow multiple of same colors... But simultaneously forcing the lobby names to be unique - aka Not everyone can be a Faraday, they'd have to alter spelling for balancing

[silver path]

Idk about people having the same colors. Most multiplayer games force players to choose something that stands them out from the rest.

[mint plume]

already got costumes and names, hence why I tagged the name part on there

[winged meadow]

I would just like more than one purple. like a lilac and then a dark purple. easily differentiated but it seems like every color has different shades but the purples in most games

yet purple is very sought after and I have seen alot of arguments over that one color

[silver path]

I think the purple in the game is the only purple we can have, as much as I do love purple and love the idea of it but there are different types of colorblindness.

[winged meadow]

actually my cousin is colorblind more towards red and he can't see the purple they have. having a lighter and darker color is more likely to allow anyone with red or blue colorblindness to see it better

[ocean cypress]

why are we spreading the discussion of more colours across 3 chats?

[mint plume]

different conversations?

[winged meadow]

apologies. I didn't look close enough at the room. I thought we were in cosmetic. should I delete the color coments and move it to there?

[ocean cypress]

No worries, lets just pick a spot and discuss. @mint plume I meant the same conversation is happening in multiple places rn

[mint plume]

yeah one was a reply to one in here, another was to one in there

[winged meadow]

Ok. Will try to be more careful in the future

[ocean cypress]

for the record nothing wrong just happened, lets just converge the conversation

[mint plume]

i never even noticed the same guy mentioned it in both lol I think they just really want colors -- al lgood tho

[ocean cypress]

We have 20 colours but only 16 players. We can keep dedicating time and resources into new colours or we can work on cool stuff like friends systems and new game modes. We've seen some studios dedicate 6 months (and who knows how much money) of development into new colours. We are aware of colourblindness as a couple of us are. There are different colour pallets/types of colourblindness so thats why we added symbols to tasks and offer a wide collection of cosmetics to help distinguish people

[trim pumice]

wait is it possible for 20 players?

20 colors...20 geese...no changin colors

[vast jackal]

unless theres a morphling

[trim pumice]

what if u are?

[vast jackal]

no u

[winged meadow]

I would like to retract my color idea for a friend system. that would be so amazing. to be able to invite friends from in game without discord. my computer doesn't like both discord and steam to be open at the same time

tho that might be a steam issue. I also can't make game shortcuts from steam and they don't really have a support option that I can find that doesn't just blame the games developers and tell you to ask them.....

[rare flame]

Then people will complain about being assigned a random colour.

[rare flame]

There should be a bot message about adding a friend list. It's in the works, but I don't think it's quite ready to be released.

[winged meadow]

I just got here so I'm behind on what is or isn't happening

[rare flame]

No worries! I try to jump on the more common ones I remember seeing.

[winged meadow]

Well I appreciate the update. It's gonna take me a while to catch up

[rich dagger]

You mean like....

[magic yarrow]

You guys should add a friends list!

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

[worthy tangle]

GGD help bot coming in clutch

Y’all should make an FAQ channel but it’s just every GGD help bot response

[granite wave]

Add friend request

[worthy tangle]

Would be good for quoting

[granite wave]

Oh,bot didnt respond

[worthy tangle]

the mods activate it

[rocky meadow]

One thing that would be interesting would be for the non dead to be able to see the farts of any dead Goose or Duck.

[rich dagger]

There's a pretty hard limit on anything that could possibly allow any type of communication between living and dead birds in Classic+

[rare flame]

Medium used to be able to see the actual ghosts, but after they started outing their killers, it became what we know today.

I assume farts would be used similarly.

[ocean cypress]

We can make an infinite number of channels, however a lot of people don't like to read bot commands just answer questions quicker

[sly fulcrum]

Bot auto triggering for FAQ is probably one of the smartest ways i saw the "people dont read" thing solved

[sharp yew]

pls make ghosts able to voice chat to each other while proximity voice chat option is disabled

[sage carbon]

you can in private games

[silver path]

If proximity chat is disabled the proximity chat for the ghosts won't work.

[wise spruce]

When spectating as a ghost I think seeing who is in the vents would be cool

[rare flame]

In addition to Artemis's comment, ghosts can chat to each other (and not to alive geese). It's a reasonable compromise, I feel.

Especially in a lobby where someone might try to say offensive things.

[blazing birch]

I think it would be nice to create a client where you can download updates (some people like me don't use Steam and download directly from the site, so every time it's necessary to do a new download)

[silver path]

Copy/paste this and put %feedback in front of it.
Post it jn #📄︱feedback to make sure they see it

[blazing birch]

sure, thank you

[gaunt thistle]

This could be achieved with something like zsync

[dreamy sparrow]

This was an idea but what if you can customize your own lobby? Buying furniture with the coins you earn. It's not really a useful idea but it's a creative one.

[rare flame]

Cool... but what happens when the lobby owner leaves?

[silver path]

I’ve mentioned it before

I think it’s a cute idea

[hazy pivot]

Ok we'll do it

In our next patch we're going to introduce a few more things along with some new QoL features that will keep players engaged and give them purpose 🙂 We may start to look into personalized spaces after that.

[rare flame]

We love and appreciate any and all QoL features added. 😄

[hazy pivot]

What if you could also unlock mini games that you can play co-operatively with your goose pals?

[untold rose]

Gostaria que tivesse opçao de adicionar pessoas como amigas no jogo de modo a facilitar que joguemos salas com estes amigos sem depender somente de discord ou whatsapp

[rare flame]

Acredito que uma lista de amigos no jogo esteja em andamento, mas atualmente não há notícias sobre o progresso.

[final hare]

🥺

[untold rose]

Esperamos bem que seja possivel pois muitos amigos novos fazemos e nem sempre os podemos contactar da mesma maneira

[left smelt]

[vast jackal]

lobbies you have been kicked from shouldnt be visible unless the host pardoned you
i keep joining the game with the host that was salty about me killing him

[zealous warren]

I had a idea where if you wear a significant outfit, it has its own kill animation that you can toggle on and off. For an example, if you wear the puff costume outfit you can have a kill animation that you breath fire or something.

[sage carbon]

can't you just remember the room code you keep copying and pasting?

or look at the room name on the public filter

[vast jackal]

no i meant the opposite, as in you shouldnt be able to see that lobby

on the public filter

[sage carbon]

i understand

but im saying if you were kicked from Applepie's game

you can probably just look at the game name to see it's Applepie's game

and stop trying to re-enter

[trim pumice]

%idea
setting should change the detective ability like he can check only 1 per game or 1 per round(or any roles that might change it back to normal)

[dense granite]

Thanks @trim pumice for your feedback, we'll be sure to look at it

[zealous warren]

Has been changed

[orchid briar]

%suggestion I think when the silencer silences someone in private lobbies, they still can't talk until the next meeting, and if the silencer silences that person again, he's still silent.

[dense granite]

Thanks @orchid briar for your feedback, we'll be sure to look at it

[trim pumice]

but silencer silence people

oh

[orchid briar]

in private lobbies he only silence in meetings, then the person tells everybody who can be, and you die because of that, and its usless if that person says what they wanted to say

[floral pilot]

would it be an idea that the gravy goose money bag can be turned off? because they are an easy target now and in that way you won't know you killed them until the game ends

[hazy pivot]

That's the point.

You have extra survivability with that bag near you...

Assassin can't shoot you, and most ducks will assume you've told people who you are.

You're a giant bag of MEAT JUICE

Yum

[sage carbon]

you can turn off his money bag by turning off the role

[floral pilot]

Ok..

[mint plume]

the fun part about gravy is passing it along -- that bounty can change hands multiple times in a game -- when you get a bounty reward and survive killing as the Sheriff it just feels great

[trim pumice]

you can like pass the money

falcon killed u vigi killed falcon so the money on vigi and duck killed vigi so the money on the duck and sheriff killed duck so the money on the sheriff

[dreamy sparrow]

Sorry just saw this but I think once the Lobby owner leaves, the room will still be the same and no other player will be able to change how it looks not even the "new owner" of the lobby because it is still technically their lobby. It would be similar to visiting someone's custom room in a video game while they're offline.

[hazy pivot]

In this case it would close

After a few minutes, giving the lobby owner the chance to reconnect

[dreamy sparrow]

Oh I see that makes much more sense

[floral pilot]

More of an idea for the Server but would a tips and tricks be fun? Where people can share tips for roles and tricks you could pull

[sage carbon]

do you have secret strategies

maybe we'll put that up on the new website?

[floral pilot]

I don't have any secrets ideas XD. But like "Hey, do this if you are that"

[sage carbon]

there are some strategy things in #live-birds

[arctic rune]

make the geese killed live update?

[rare flame]

Then that would require constant ping with the server, and apparently bandwidth is spread thin for some as it is.

[rare flame]

I think Gamer's suggest was to have the ability to switch between old detective (one per game, but spots if ever killed) and new detective (once per round, but only detects in said round).

[hazy pivot]

No that's not how it works, we can easily do this using a callback structure but the problem is during peak times that number can be updated 10-20 times a second

We could opt for a standard periodic update but we wanted people to see the number when they come back after a game (it encourages people to play more).

If the number keeps rolling people will actually sit there and stare at it more (even a few seconds of distraction) across tens of thousands of games affects how much game time people are playing 🙂

[turbid dawn]

Make it so the description of your job as Canadian Goose includes a canadian city like.
"As you're from Toronto your Killer will have the decency to self report after murdering you"

In Toronto they wouldn't turn themselves in, it would be targeted and you were probably part of some construction racket.

[magic yarrow]

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

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

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

[silver path]

I don't think the game is really focused on having as many people in a lobby as possible just for the sake of having more people in the same game. Sure, it's nice to have a content creator playing in a lobby but a lot of the times they may not even want to play with the current 16 cap. Bigger is not always better and at that point, I don't think it would even be fun playing with 24 people.

[hazy pivot]

There are a lot of reasons why we won't and Artemis touched on some of them. Imagine 24 player lobby, content creator dies in first thirty seconds. GG. Your stream dies over the next 20 minutes watching everyone scream over another while a vulture wins at the 22 minute mark.

[lilac umbra]

that makes scenes

[hazy pivot]

I think at this point you're better of streaming goat simulator with a half-tone filter on and the sound of a running toilet in the background.

[lilac umbra]

lol

okay

[gaunt thistle]

If people have tips and tricks, feel free to message them to me directly, I'll consider adding them to the app I'm building when I can.
I currently don't get a great deal of time to work on it, but after I'm done making the task tutorials I'll be putting it on google play store and maybe Apple store (that depends on things outside my control)

[mint plume]

goat simulator just made me think of a goose simulator that evolves into becoming goose VR with 3d geese honking at eachother as a duck turns a corner and quacks.. causing the geese to panic -- my mind went places

Its just fun to think about a game like this evolving past a 2d platform but being run by same people so it keeps the flare

hi

could anyone help me?

Im stuck at loading

how do I go about fixing it?

I reinstalled the game as well

[magic yarrow]

My game starts, but it's stuck on the loading screen indefinitely!

This can usually be fixed by changing from IPv6 to IPV4. If you are using Windows 10, click on your start menu and open the Control Panel. Open Network and Internet, and then Network and Sharing Center. On the left menu, select Change Adapter Settings. Right click on the network connection that you use, and select Properties. Scroll down to Internet Protocol Version 6 (TCP/IPv6) and un-check the box, and then select OK to save your settings.

[proven sundial]

what about windows 8 lol

[hazy pivot]

Should be almost the same once you get to control panel

[proven sundial]

it works now

thanks

[rare flame]

I mean, when the old host leaves, the host role passes to "player 2", the second-longest person in the lobby. This can keep going until the right person is host again. Not an elegant solution, but it is there.

[turbid dawn]

I'm totally invested in getting one

[granite wave]

Guys, I got an Idea: When the role is revealed, can you put the icon of the role behind the role text?

[turbid dawn]

when are role revealed

?

[rare flame]

Roles are revealed in a few ways:
Spy: If you're the only one to vote for someone in a round, you know their role.
Mortician: If you examine a dead body for 3 seconds, you know what they were.
Voting out: If "eject confirmation" is on, you will see if they were a duck or not. (Neutrals outed, too.)
Death: If a private lobby chooses to have "reveal roles" turned on, then all dead players can see everyone else's roles.

[turbid dawn]

Yeah but public icons won't make sense in private reveals

[rare flame]

Well, it wouldn't be "public" icons.

As I understand it, the suggestion was because someone had problems reading the darkened dead people names. The revealed icons would just be behind roles already known, including your own.

[cloud ravine]

Love the merch. What if we get a coffee mug that changes color with temperature?

[ocean cypress]

Wanted to make sure we have a store launched before the holidays 🙂 Will be looking at more opportunities for more cool stuff

[hazy pivot]

We will make a coffee mug that changes from white to a less white mug when left in the sun.

As a matter of fact, I believe if you order a white mug you're already set.

[cloud ravine]

lol think somebody messed with the dimmer settings, sun not strong enough these days

[rare flame]

I'd love the idea of a mug that's a goose when cold but and unmasked duck when hot. No idea if that's practical, though.

[errant halo]

I think Bodyguard having the person their suppose to protect always shows on the map would be a good idea

[vast jackal]

That would be extremely hard for the hitman duck

[rapid cargo]

It takes away the aspect of "I have to find my target before the hitman does" because you'll know exactly where they are

[vast jackal]

The only way to balance that is to give the hitman the location of the target, but then it would just be a competition of who got better rng and spawned near the target

[turbid dawn]

add a code to the merch to get it in game

[gaunt thistle]

Thermochromic paints are very expensive. They also don't really work like this. Though you could probably do the mimic icon

Question, What if you are able to kill someone at the same time as someone ringing the meeting bell. Is such a thing even possible?

[hazy pivot]

yes

With lag, anything is possible

[gaunt thistle]

I've been killed by my duck partner while ringing the bell. On my screen a meeting was called and then I died almost instantly after, but no meeting occurred and the game carried on as if nothing happened.
It comes down to ping with the server and host.

[cobalt ore]

It would be neat if, when the meeting is called or a body found, the person with the megaphone could place a pin in one place on the map.

[hazy pivot]

We could do map pinning later for sure

its not a bad idea

host can pin the map

[turbid dawn]

That's a great idea

[zealous warren]

What if in the lobby options you could toggle an option that allows there to be more than 1 role. But the more stronger roles can only have one.

[worthy tangle]

More things for public lobby players to keep track of. It’ll be a bloodbath if when the host dies first, the 4 detectives begin arguing about who’s the real one.

[rich dagger]

Possibility of more than one role breaks deduction in Classic Plus. Could be a candidate for classic rejects though

[worthy tangle]

[late spear]

at best it would go into the clssic rejects mode more than likely

[turbid dawn]

just makes me think of goose hunt

[silver path]

So you mean a duck? This would also be a giveaway for who is a duck

[turbid dawn]

In goose hunt that's how it is

[rich dagger]

Goose Hunt is not Classic Plus

I'm aware, I said that the walking speed increase made me think of Goose HUNT

[iron ridge]

It would be nice if the dead birds could hear the live birds talking

[turbid dawn]

Could bring confusion

Think it's been decided against

[magic yarrow]

Have you guys considered offering the functionality where the dead can hear the living?

We think its better to be able to have a conversation with other dead players than it is to hear living players. Being able to hear living players has proven to be confusing.

[round grail]

An idea that I haven't heard anyone else air (and that I'm too lazy to scan through this channel to find) Is as follows:
How about mapping the R key to Ready/Unready while in a Lobby?

[sage carbon]

why?

on mobile you will have touch and you'll need a mouse for pc/mac

[rare flame]

It's still nice to have a button to ready up as an option.

[round grail]

Yes. For the reason @rare flame said, mainly.

[sage carbon]

okay

[round grail]

Also, Why not? Sometimes you take your hand off the mouse to drink et. c. Being able to still Ready up is nice.

[sage carbon]

there's a lot of things that we can set keybinds too, i think we have a sufficient amount

[round grail]

True enough I suppose. Your game, you decide. Figured I'd ask since that the worst that could happen was getting a no.

[sage carbon]

im sure its something we'll consider

[hazy pivot]

We originally had it set to a keybind and people accidentally used it and complained. We want the action of readying up to be a conscious decision. A physical motion, a break of routine if you will. Few games hot key this for a reason. (Also makes it easier to bot silver farm).

[round grail]

All valid points.

[night jolt]

Good evening! I had an idea for a couple new roles... is this where I could throw them out at you?

A room history thing to be able to rejoin without the code

[ocean cypress]

We don't reward bad behaviour, everything is his fault. Also on global scale not many are going to know what a xizta is

[ocean cypress]

How many rooms are you leaving and rejoining/cycling through? I like to play with one lobby at a time

[turbid dawn]

Yeah but I mean for when you get disconnected, its useful when you also want to leave a game to come back later. Maybe it could display if its opened or in game?

[waxen galleon]

Yea, especially the translator's.

umm a xizta... a form of tea perhaps?

[gaunt thistle]

How would Lovers Chat even work?

[silver path]

It's been suggested before and arrows also take out the fun of finding the love of your game

[mint plume]

it doesn't stop you from being shocked on who it is

[fathom remnant]

I think mortician should have the same blue arrow as vulture. I’ve literally never been able to use the morticians ability

[vast jackal]

That would make finding ducks and self reports trivial

[turbid dawn]

He is right though, never seen it

[hazy pivot]

This would break the game instantly.

[rare flame]

There have been many games where I've never found bodies, be it because of vulture or just not being where the kills happen. I've been in both situations as mortician, finding a body and scanning it and not finding a body all game. It's just a matter of luck.

[tribal comet]

Maybe if mortician could just see all dead people’s roles it would be better

[ocean cypress]

Don't need to comment to shut down an idea. Respect each other

[rapid cargo]

Sorry, I could've worded it better

[ocean cypress]

Information is power, giving too much information at no cost is game-breaking

[rare flame]

Yeah, mortician seeing all the dead roles works the same as voting confirmation, so they should need to do something to have it revealed.

[brave leaf]

maybe mortician should be able to pick a max of 2 dead players in discussions to reveal their role. Or at the very least scan bodies in 1 second instead of 3

[rare flame]

I don't think 3 seconds is too long to scan a body. As it currently works it could, theoretically, identify every dead body if they are found fast enough. It's just a bit like detective or locksmith: not always going to be useful.

Twitch Integration
Streamers right now really need Twitch integration so they can turn on screen blackouts with maybe images where the role reveal when the match starts would be covered over, roles commands on the screen could be either blurred out or just not shown and names/roles wouldn't ben seen in meetings.
I know how hard this would be to program, but stream-sniping is becoming an issue with GGD for Twitch streamers and it's getting pretty bad.
Some kind of integration with Streamlabs, OBS, anything!
...I dunno, some kind of extension that detects the game and knows when to put up certain screen overlays? either GGD made or ones that the streamers could make with templates?!
PLEASE

[dense granite]

Thanks @merry shard for your feedback, we'll be sure to look at it

[gaunt thistle]

I mean, you can hide your role all you want, but watching you kill somebody, hop in a vent, look at the map and see a sabotage, etc is a dead giveaway what your role is anyway

[merry shard]

agreed, but the GGD Twitch streamers I know are getting annoyed with other players using their displays against other players and unbalancing the game

im making my own blackouts right now...I just hope I can remember to keep switching my screens without screwing it up

[rare flame]

When I watch a streamer play, I personally want to know what their role is if I'm not playing with them. If I am playing with them, I make a point of muting their stream and promising not to watch. I wouldn't enjoy the stream if I had to guess what their role was from the offset.

[gaunt thistle]

^ this very much. Its not fun as a viewer if I can't tell what your role is either

[rare flame]

My personal solution is that the streamer is always the host, and if someone is confirmed sniping, kick them.

[rich dagger]

You have 100% control over your lobby as the host. Only invite people you trust if you are having issues. If you aren't hosting, you are free to not play in a lobby where the host won't control access to the lobby. If someone is stream sniping, don't play with them.

[merry shard]

and in come the reactionary users that don't care about the point of the suggestion in the first place

[rich dagger]

The game gives you full control over who you play with. If you want to hide things on your stream you are taking the best steps by customizing your overlay.

Anything being worked on takes time. In general, bug fixes, new roles, new maps, and new game modes are prioritized. While I appreciate your candor, I was merely advising on how you can control stream sniping. Happy hunting

[gaunt thistle]

I care about what you're suggesting, but there is literally no way to stop stream sniping other than to kick and block. Hiding your interface will not help when your role has special abilities unique to that role

[gaunt thistle]

For what it is worth, HamsterDMG is making such things as well / already has. G-Force_rex as well. Neither is perfect, but may save you some time. Might I suggest asking if they can share?

[merry shard]

I'm making some anyway - I just wanted to see if the devs could take the time to integrate something that could even just turn the interface elements off when detected by an extension, something, I dunno, just seems like there is a way to make it work - and yes, I know how hard the programming could be, but it may not be in the end really

post unrelated: wow that DDoS attack really messed up your server host, playing is still hit or miss for me, damb, hope they find a way to stop them, I hate it when people do that

[sage carbon]

hi all

a dragon pet would be cool if ggd adds it

and also a new raindeer pet

and in gamemode zombie can be added

[gaunt thistle]

There already is a dragon pet, but it was part of the founder pack which is no longer available

[tardy cobalt]

it could infect everyone to win

[tardy cobalt]

yea thats why

or godzilla pet would also be good

[gloomy tangle]

I think that fake duties should remove fake from the title. When you are certain roles you know that certain tasks are fake. I think if we just say duties it might help against stream snipers a little bit. It may not seem much, but I have had a couple of my viewers suggest this.

[sage carbon]

streamers are a minority of players

an extreme minority of players

it doesn't mean that this opinion isn't valid, or that it isn't something we won't consider, but understand that we have to balance this against thousands of new players who may not understand that these tasks only exist to convince others that you are a goose

[silver path]

Streamers have every way possible to ensure no stream sniping. They can cover their role, not have tasks exposed on the side, have role reveal off, and even down to playing with trusted people. I do none of this so I can’t really blame the game when I get stream sniped

They offer a lot for us already, hard to implement more

[gloomy tangle]

That makes sense to me.

I appreciate your answers though, even if my inquires seem dumb. lol

[silver path]

Nah not dumb, but there was a post hamster made about different cool overlays you can try out!

[mint plume]

the only thing i could see being done more for streamers and the players in game would to have a role reveal toggle on the client side -- so any streamer could turn off role reveal for viewers but other dead birds in the game could still see roles -- not a real big deal and most people just end up turning the lobby reveal off it it becomes an issue, so no real reason for devs to impliment it

[hollow beacon]

this is why i think a twitch integration/extension may be a concept to explore and some of us (Cough me) would happily pay $$$ to use

[hollow beacon]

@merry shard made those

[sage carbon]

i dont know that it would be our priority to spend developer hours on

[hollow beacon]

no i figured that but its a great idea on paper

practicality wise not as much

[mint plume]

i like using random names, twitch authentication would kill a lot of fun for me

[hollow beacon]

no not authentication but Integration meaning while we (the streamer) see the regular game, our chat would not see peoples roles, our tasks, abilities etc. On paper sounds like a great idea, but in practice its a logistical nightmare and i understand viewers want to see what certain roles do and how you play certain roles. Was mainly something to brainstorm

[mint plume]

you want a screen to stream that doesn't show what you see basically -- like Jackbox

[hollow beacon]

if you've ever watched people stream Rust, most of them have their maps hidden by a keybound overlay that triggers when they press their Map keybind. so the streamer still sees their regular map but everyone watching doesnt

[umbral bridge]

I think its a great idea and if more games did that a lot more people ,especially beginners, would have a lot more fun and have an easier time streaming competitive games.

[subtle valve]

Would it be possible to have a "Game Master Role"? This isn't a goose, duck or neutral role, but someone who oversees the game while it's being played and acts like a moderator during discussion. Like a system setting that allows the host (or lets the host assign to someone) to act as a moderator during discussions. For me, this game is great to play with my ESL students, but it forces me to play as well. Not that I mind, but it's better sometimes for me to help guide students when they are having trouble asking questions in English and generally trying to keep the discussion going, and it can be tricky if they kill me, especially if some of the students are playing from home, as our classes are a hybrid of a live class and online.]

[rich dagger]

I would imagine it would be possible, at the cost of reducing the max lobby size to 15 players if a GM is in the game

[hazy pivot]

This isn't a terrible idea

I like it

[hazy pivot]

Really interesting use of the game. A moderator role would see everyone's roles too?

[subtle valve]

I mean, I think that they should. Just so they can also help out new players who are new to the game. Maybe they could have the option to keep themselves blind to the roles, once the moderator feels the group is familiar enough with the game.

Maybe the moderator can give advice to individual players in game on how to play their role.

Via chat or something.

[hazy pivot]

I'll look into it.

[subtle valve]

At the very least, it could just be someone who can speak during meetings to help manage the discussion. Hell, maybe it could be a "true neutral role" like "Avian God" if you wanted to keep it in theme.

Yeah sadly it can be abused. I remember when rainbow 6 siege used to let players kick somebody mid game... They eventually had to get rid of it due to the massive abuse.

[mint ravine]

Can we get a "WAR" fart? My friend and I have a feud where we scream WAR! before we murder each other, doesn't matter the role we are. It's pretty funny but it's like our inside joke that no one has copies yet.

Getting coins by only playing takes too long. Add rewards for achievements?

[rich dagger]

Cosmetics are the game's only revenue source. The game is free, and optional coins purchases help ensure the team is able to continue putting out new, high quality content.

There are rewards for achievements

do you mean in public lobbies?

[lost wyvern]

Yes

[hazy pivot]

This is already in the game

You can see here based on my location its showing me games in both english and Spanish

If you do the Egyptian map, can a Sabotage be to burry someone in sand? Kind of like the chandelier sabo (It may be already planned)

huh? hall?

[rare flame]

I mean, the host already has the ability to kick players out of a lobby. And kicking players out midgame can have some consequences to the sportsmanship of the games.

[silver path]

what do you mean lol

[mild niche]

lobby

[mint plume]

you already can?

[mild niche]

To kick people from lobby

[silver path]

that is an option

[gentle sluice]

The host can already kick any player from the lobby.

[mild niche]

how?

[gentle sluice]

Under the settings cog

Then in the players tab- Where you adjust volumes

There will be a kick option for the host next to player names

[subtle valve]

%idea Would it be possible to have a "Game Master Role"? This isn't a goose, duck or neutral role, but someone who oversees the game while it's being played and acts like a moderator during discussion. Like a system setting that allows the host (or lets the host assign to someone) to act as a moderator during discussions. It could also allow the moderator to guide players who are new and give advice in game via chat about their role or what they have to do.

[dense granite]

Thanks @subtle valve for your feedback, we'll be sure to look at it

[subtle valve]

Sorry I mentioned this before but I thought I should use the idea command.

[granite wave]

After a game ended, the survivors want to see everyones roles. But you have like 5 seconds to look at the end screen. Can you add a longer time or a list in lobby after the game which shows the last game stats. Please add this

[main kelp]

Has gaggle considered creating NFTs?

[hazy pivot]

Yes, as a matter of fact we have but we don't like the connotation associated with it. We really do like the idea of creating limited quantity cosmetics that can be traded between players in the future. We're not entirely thrilled with how other games implemented them thus far but if we can find a way to make the technology actually support our games and add to the experience we will.

[turbid dawn]

Don't worry, for NFTs you don't have to actually give the players the cosmetic, just say that they own it in and send a screeny

[hazy pivot]

We don't believe in taking something from our players and not giving something back. We're a social game and our whole game is built around community. If someone supports us we use those funds to create a better experience for all players; we're not going to tell you we need money so we can put our time and effort into making useless collectors editions for consoles or buy boba with it.

As for NFTs if it generates revenue we want to see if and how that can A) better the experience for players and B) can help grow our community.

[mint plume]

could be a goose role to always see votes in goose, neutral, or duck --- it reveals their role if they speak out

[turbid dawn]

thart is the thing im interested in

[rapid portal]

Can you make it possible to transfer the host(server) to another player? If a player becomes host that does not want to setup the lobby he/she can transfer the lobby to a player that is able to setup the lobby.

[granite wave]

Notepad ingame at meetings. Please. We need this. Im getting to much information sp I can't remember everything.

[granite wave]

P L E A S E, WE NEED THIS

[rich dagger]

Just an idea, but couldn't you take down notes in an actual notebook or the back of an envelope or something? When I get Assassin, I open up Notepad on my computer and take notes that way, but that wouldn't work for everyone.

[sage carbon]

or just write on your body, memento style

[worthy tangle]

I write my notes on my towns local Eldridge Horror

[turbid dawn]

BUT notebook is such a good idea

[sage carbon]

okay, i'll give a serious answer

about why we might or might not do such a thing

obviously players can play this game any way they want - whether it be to be as hardcore and as sweaty as possible, or just casually

or anything in between. all styles of play are welcome and we want you to enjoy the game the way you want to play it

if you implement a notebook, you essentially mandate in some ways that's how you're meant to play the game

like its recommended you play that way, and if you don't use the feature, you are playing it 'wrong'

it isn't so much a matter of preference as as a vote of endorsement. and i like that the default is casual, and if you want to alt tab to a notebook app, that's up to you

clearly the game is built with certain things in mind

a similar example would be proximity chat - we lean into proximity chat, and it has a similar vote of confidence

we have a role that revolves around it - silencer

can people play without proximity chat? sure. can you play without silencer? sure. but there is a form of the game we had in mind when we put it in

and i think a notebook app works against this vision

[turbid dawn]

I guess i'll stick to my notebook

[sage carbon]

just my two cents, i wholely endorse the notepad on your computer in general

look at it in all its glory

[granite wave]

But then make it an option? That you can turn off or on in the game settings. I HAVE ONE SCREEN AND ITS ON FULL SCREAN MODE. If I go to my desktop, I wont know who is talking and like... its get confusing. PLEASE we need a notepad INGAME by MEETINGS...

[worthy tangle]

An in game notepad could add another distraction for new players, and could have them end up not voting.

My recommendation for you here is pencil and paper, easy to draw connections between ppl/roles and you don’t have to worry about changing windows

[sage carbon]

how about you just open the text chat

and just type whatever

[frank night]

You can copy the room code as a link, this link will either ask to download or join the game. But the next part of this, is the friend list system

[dense badge]

this is just me venting, but i really dont like when people use out of game excuses to defend themselves in meetings, it just feels like its outside of the scope of the goose goose universe

[ocean cypress]

is there an idea to prevent this from happening? Why is this the best place to vent?

[rare flame]

What do you mean by out of game excuses? If you mean "I was AFK", sometimes that's an actual thing, but if they pull that too many times, you need to start calling them on that.

[silver path]

Not a general idea. More of a complaint the game has no control over. Just play with better people who don’t do that

[hazy pivot]

One time I was doing a nightfall raid in Destiny with @ivory plaza and another friend and he literally went AFK right at the boss fight to make a sandwich without telling us.

We can't prevent these things... but we didn't play with him again.

[waxen galleon]

I haven't played Destiny since The Vault of Glass raid.. rofl.

[hazy pivot]

[mint plume]

[fast crag]

%idea Give each fowl some form of text to refer to them by. For example, Town of Salem gives each player a number in game. Giving players an in-game text-based reference eliminates all issues of color blindness and is easier to remember than trying to figure out which dark color you just saw on the very edge of your screen.

[dense granite]

Thanks @fast crag for your feedback, we'll be sure to look at it

It also stops people from making long or obscure nonsensical names to slow down discussions because you have to type it out.

[brittle tartan]

Yeah, that. Right now it does nothing, but I always press it anyway.

[hazy pivot]

I'll have to look in to why that's been disabled

I believe we did that because some people expected it to know they wanted to create a game too (enter could be for both)

So we may need to program in some smarter checks to make sure it knows what you're trying to do exactly

When someone has a bodyguard role, they only know who they are protecting IF they see if one the role reveal screen, or by checking map for person.

I think it would be super nice if you could see who you are protecting in a meeting like you can see with lovers. A lot of people would agree :)) plzzz lol

[mint plume]

imo they shouldn't be informed at the start and be surprised on who they gotta protect

[sage carbon]

well those are very opposite opinions

lets split the difference, and change nothing at all

😈

[rare flame]

The hitman has the exact same problem. So if you're changing bodyguard, you'd need to change the hitman the same way.

[brave leaf]

now it's 2 at favour 1 against, thus it should be changed

[plush sedge]

I think a join back feature would be nice or a spectator otion would be cool so if you get disconnected or you intentionally disconnect you can join back and be a spectator in the game

It shows the lobby's you've entered in the last hour or smthn and if you were banned just maybe not have it show up

[mellow dove]

Is this where I come to suggest that it would be really helpful to have a Mic test in the settings. Similar to either Skype's ECHO123 or Discord?

I'm trying to troubleshoot and it's really difficult, and annoying to the other people in the game.

PS. My mic works fine in Discord, and I can even route the audio through AudioHijack to confirm what's being sent ... but it's still getting to the game as garbled nonsense.

(On a Mac and using a Plantronics headset, and I've resorted to opening up my LittleSnitch firewall so... I'm still trying to troubleshoot.)

[plain bough]

did you submit a ticket in #troubleshooting-and-bug-reports

[mellow dove]

Nope, because I was looking for a channel like that and missed it. Thanks. lol

[fresh dirge]

Maybe have where if you can join a game in progress as a spectator (probably already pitched) and everybody including alive would see your role as plain “spectator” or something like that

[hazy pivot]

It's almost ready to go. We will be testing spectator mode soon.

[opal crane]

Add an option to add a little icon next to peoples names indicating if they are muted or deafened (This should be optional because it could take away from muting to fake silence or morphling)

A kill animation where you stick your victim in a box and saw them in half magic style, except you “accidentally” mess up the trick

[trim pumice]

jeez he looks like dead inside

[dark agate]

Will u making a friend list in game?

[hazy pivot]

Already working on it

[gaunt thistle]

Though not visual, there are ways to identify the duck in other game modes.

One way is to keep an eye on who you are near when players die. Since there is only one duck, they probably arent the duck. Another is movement speed, the Duck runs slightly faster so they aren't unable to win at the end of the game when the last goose starts running away.

[granite wave]

Nah, I mean, I want to be more realistic

[mint plume]

don't worry a LARP GGD mobile unit will be in a town near you with costumes made from real birds... don't ask... the killers will be played by actual ducks so be careful, they ARE as deadly as the rumors say

when ducks using Sabotage gui,they can still move in game space.

[zealous warren]

No vote No voice- can be toggled on and off and when it’s time on, people who didn’t vote won’t automatically put them on skip

[trim pumice]

but why?

sure geese win with tasks but who will get rid of the ducks and falcon for geese(ik about vigi and sheriff but...what if there is none)

[mint plume]

i've been wanting a "skip votes don't count" for ages -- aka someone always dies unless they ties

[cloud ravine]

Hey, not sure if this would work depending on how the code is written, but would be nice if the current host can make someone else host.

example: If im leaving my lobby i could assign host to a content creator or someone i know will make a good host, instead of everyone leaving or starting a new lobby.

Thanks and happy holidays!

[dark agate]

Please please i want any interact in game, like dancing or sitting, anything will be great

[livid cairn]

Bit of a random request but would it be possible to make an option to hide pets ingame and only show in lobbies?

[half tapir]

Did someone see ur pet when you killed? and then asked who had this specific pet?

[livid cairn]

I've had the thought for a while mostly because of how far behind the pet actually is and ontop of that if somebody is lagging the pets seem to sometimes be slower

[rich dagger]

Pets aren't fundamentally different than any other cosmetic as far as their usefulness in identifying someone. If the person the pet is attached to is not within your vision range or line-of-sight, you should not be able to see the pet either.

Citing my sources here

[livid cairn]

That's strange cause that game they saw mine in i was already out of the room when they saw it so they must of had lag or something

[manic gate]

It may have been mentioned, but a notification of some sort when the "are you still here" window comes up before you get kicked would be awesome.

Let's face it, when we're done with tasks, most normally don't sit staring at the screen. So we tab out, and we don't want to lose the lobby we're in, yet don't always have the ability to have a full private lobby. We hear the end game sounds. So we can navigate back to the game. But can't tell if that screen has popped up to say yeah I'm still here.

[rain copper]

Make it where you can see who your target/who you're protecting in the voting screen. >.<
similar to how lovers and ducks can see their partners !

[queen idol]

%suggestion For the Mallard Manor map, I thought it would be really neat to have two ye olde telephones, one in the study and one in the east wing, and you can call one from the other. On the other side, it'll ring, and if you pick it up you can talk to the other person for 10 seconds (before the signal cuts out). I think it would be a fun mechanic to allow information transfer, as well as a mechanic for neutrals to locate someone. I think it would also go well with the manor's theme.

[dense granite]

Thanks @cobalt ore for your feedback, we'll be sure to look at it

[silver path]

Awe this is cute xD I Ike this

[dense granite]

Sorry, I couldn't find a command or game object that matches: %suggstion a Penguin role they have the Ability to freeze people made a game And not like to Silenter They can freeze somebody during the game

[lucid plaza]

%suggestion Not sure if this one has been suggested before but here goes.

This suggestion applies to private lobbies.

When the outcome screen appears; this can also mean if somebody is ejected or jailed, have either all players muted or at least have players icons visible somehow because I can see players abusing their mics to play racist audio clips or music just to troll other players. Because during this screen we can't tell who is speaking. If we know who is trolling, action can only then be taken.

This would be a good quality of life update to prevent further toxic lobbies.

[dense granite]

Thanks @lucid plaza for your feedback, we'll be sure to look at it

[reef ridge]

%suggestion The ability to friend people.

I make so many friends on this game, and it’s such a shame that most of the time we have to lose them because we are not comfortable with putting out personal information. It would be very helpful to add an option where are you can friend other players and invite them to private or public matches so you can play with them again.

[dense granite]

Thanks @reef ridge for your feedback, we'll be sure to look at it

[rich dagger]

A friends list is being worked on!

[night oar]

%suggestion Goose hunt player rotation

The goose hunt mode could have a fixed player rotation option, so that everyone gets to be the duck eventually instead of waiting to get lucky.

[dense granite]

Thanks @night oar for your feedback, we'll be sure to look at it

[simple temple]

Then you would know that after everyone having their turn as duck the last person who hasn't been duck yet , everyone would already know who it is since they haven't been the duck yet

[night oar]

Its not as relevant in that mode

[simple temple]

Oh whoops didn't read goose hunt xd

[night oar]

It doesn't even need to be completely fixed; it could just prevent people from being duck again until everyone has been duck at least once, and pick the new ducks randomly

[sage carbon]

you're right, goose hunt is something where knowing who the duck is matters less

and it might be better to even out the duck assignments

[turbid dawn]

Just mute them yourself

[rich dagger]

That's not exactly possible during the outcome screen when you have no visible indicator on who is speaking (or playing audio through their inputs).

[turbid dawn]

Oh I see, fair point taken then

[vernal holly]

Can MORTICIAN be given the same blue arrow indicators that VULTURE has for finding bodies? I feel that would help the role significantly!

[opal crane]

That’s a good idea, I definitely think mortician needs a rework because it is so specific of when it’s useful, you need to be the first to find the body, have no one report, and then there’s a good chance that the info is near useless

I suggested a while back that mortician should use there ability during meetings, selecting a dead player simaler to the assassin

But if your idea were to be implemented I think that the arrow should only appear 10-15 secs after the kill

Cause then it’s basically a better medium

[paper shadow]

Then it just becomes better medium

[pastel quest]

%suggestion
dead sense show each player's dress
if light is turned off and switchs gui aren't all turned on at one time,any player can turn off switchs by gui ; gui shows which switch is turned off/on by other player immediately.

[dense basin]

%suggestion
BIRDWATCHER
-Ability to have almost have the sight of a dead goose to where your ability is not hindered and still can walk without having to run into walls.
Also maybe a 10 second use time and a 15 second cool down, instead of the 15 -15.

TECHNICIAN
-Dead ducks not have the ability to activate sabotage but it the ability to set them up. Not including Teleporter and cargo bay. Teleporter and cargo bay is fair game.
-Another alternative
Maybe have dead ducks sabotage show up white or clear instead of red.

[dense granite]

Thanks @dense basin for your feedback, we'll be sure to look at it

[silver path]

No this is too OP if they have the opportunity to learn the role of most dead people

[silver path]

This is exactly what I’ve said multiple times as well. It renders the medium useless. Not saying the arrow is a bad idea but other roles have to be considered.

[vernal holly]

How is that OP? As it stands right now, Mortician is one of the worst roles due to rarely being able to use its ability due to either never finding the body or other players calling it in the 3 long seconds its takes to use your ability.
Add in the fact that in non-voice lobbies its almost always going to get you voted out or assassinated when trying to do your ability. By adding the blue indicators you may get lucky and find a body that no one else is nearby in order to use your ability.

That’s how I would fix it because as it stands right now- Mortician is not a good role. That’s how I would fix it because

[paper shadow]

By adding blue indicators you make it way to easy to find body’s, learn roles and overall just catch the murderer easily

Remember you could team up with your friendly neighborhood medium for the same effect

[sage carbon]

you should turn it off

if you have encountered scenarios where it was easy for you to figure out who the ducks are because you are the vulture

imagine adding that to the goose side

it would break the game if the player was any good

[silver path]

It renders the medium useless. Not saying the arrow is a bad idea but other roles have to be considered.

[rich dagger]

I've played in games with "vegetarian" Vulture players who don't eat the bodies but help the Geese with their ability. It really breaks the game making it very difficult for the ducks to win.

[hazy pivot]

I usually play vulture to win because I like to preserve the species' integrity.

People who play to help other species are just poopyheads.

[hot lodge]

Make farts visible in meetings since there's a lot of free real estate in the little name boxes

If detective is going kills per round you should be able to use it more than once, maybe have a similar cooldown to birdwatcher

Mortician should be able to check bodies instantly instead of it taking however long

Bodyguard and lovers should have an arrow pointing to their targets

[strange gyro]

%suggestion - Adding a designated deafened area, like just a line drawn on the floor in the lobbies, to let others know they are not being ignored... they just can't be heard for a moment.

[dense granite]

Thanks @strange gyro for your feedback, we'll be sure to look at it

[left hearth]

Lovers would become overpowered, since they can clear each other all the time. That gives the duck lover an alibi to win with. Bodyguard would also be op, as they can protect thier target from ever getting attacked by hit man.

[lucid apex]

Yes

[rare flame]

If you give an arrow to the bodyguard, do you also want to give an arrow to the hitman? The two are equal and opposite in how lucky the one finds the target.

[hot lodge]

No, because a hitman has function (i.e. is a duck) outside if being a hitman, a the bodyguard can't really do anything without being near their target

[hot lodge]

Lovers can already clear in meeting because of the pink names, and for the bodyguard they don't really have a function other than guarding the target

Can everybody see the pink names and not just the lovers?

[left hearth]

No, just the lovers

[paper shadow]

so this is false, lovers have 0 way to clear themselves

and tbh the panic of loosing sight of your target and hoping they havent died is pretty nice on bodyguard

[abstract barn]

May have already been suggested, but maybe sort players in the list based on the last time they spoke, with people that are speaking being at the top
I just wish to have a better way to identify who is speaking without scrolling through the list, as I tend to miss them as they stop before I find them
Also would help with the rare situation of someone being turned down to the point of the slider covering the bar
It is easier to identify people in-game during meetings but I'd rather focus more on the game if possible

@rich dagger @silver path
BIRDWATCHER
-Ability to have almost have the sight of a dead goose to where your ability is not hindered and still can walk without having to run into walls.
Also maybe a 10 second use time and a 15 second cool down, instead of the 15 -15.

TECHNICIAN
-Dead ducks not have the ability to activate sabotage but it the ability to set them up. Not including Teleporter and cargo bay. Teleporter and cargo bay is fair game.
-Another alternative
Maybe have dead ducks sabotage show up white or clear instead of red.

[rich dagger]

Not sure that Birdwatcher having a huge 360 degree vision fits with the flavor of the role.

Taking away the ability of dead Ducks to sabotage eliminates a lot of the fun and strategy for dead Ducks, and makes certain map areas a less risky play for Geese. The alternate colored Technician circle could work, though from a flavor perspective, a sabotage is a sabotage and I don't know why it would thematically appear different to the Technician as suggested.

[dense basin]

Thx for the reply

[idle wasp]

Um why did I get this I just hop onto the game and got this noticed?

[dire tendon]

happens sometimes, nothing to be worried about

[silver path]

It means your account is logged in and playing on another device. It won’t actually alert the FBI lol just a joke… maybe…

[steel wren]

Is there a way to the Gaggle managers put all goose colors in the Templates section???

[sage carbon]

im not sure what you mean

can't you just take a screenshot and see all the colours?

[turbid dawn]

He means to make cosmetics because a screenshot is less precise than the current template. Atleast I assumes that's what he means

[sage carbon]

ah

well, i don't think we can. at least in the sense that i don't think we can provide him with anything better than screenshots of the colors

there's no file for them, i believe they're colored in unity

[supple oracle]

when you are making a new updates sometime make a level bar like xp it should be there

[supple oracle]

it should be there in all updates

[hazy pivot]

We will be introducing a level system in q1 as well

[supple oracle]

ok thanks for accepting it

[steel wren]

Np. I was asking because I was working on a Thumbnail for my video. And as I'm not a professional in editing images, changing colors on Gimp is kinda hard. Also, taking a screenshot for the thumbnail results in a worse resolution than having each colors available in a better resolution, like the white goose at Templates.

But no problem C:

[dreamy ruin]

%suggestion - it is just a small one, nothing that would really add to the gameplay, but my idea is to have the geese/ducks on the menu screen honk/quack when you click or tap on them

[dense granite]

Thanks @dreamy ruin for your feedback, we'll be sure to look at it

[worthy tangle]

That is a very dumb suggestion that I will annoy the mods about in-till it gets implemented because it’s the greatest idea I’ve ever seen

Imagine if the pigeon coos when you tap on it

[granite wave]

Change duckscord into pigeonscord pls

[gentle sluice]

Declined! Thanks for your idea though.

[hazy pivot]

Did someone with an AU profile picture just ask to change the name of the server to their screen name?

[ocean cypress]

yes. yes they did...

The Duckscord isn't even named the Duckscord so there isn't anything to change

[granite wave]

we should have another gamemode

[hazy pivot]

Working on it :)

[granite wave]

Another Map in January

[ocean cypress]

we do have other maps in the works, as for when they will be released. We also have a new lounge area on the way

[magic yarrow]

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

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

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

[granite wave]

Sorry for wasting time

[ocean cypress]

Not a waste of time at all, but trust me. We have lots in the works just be patient

[granite wave]

Sure We will

[tepid nest]

Okay this is just a random idea that came into playing mind but like- lovers should have their own chat- where they can messaged eachother during rounds-

[sage carbon]

it's been requested before

we like the idea of them finding one another to talk in proximity. fundamentally we're a game that's rooted in the proximity chat

[fair birch]

Hello everyone, I am writing about translation. I would like to offer you my help with translation into Czech language. I think it would be realy great if you will have czech language in Goose Goose Duck and I realy want to help you! In case you need just contact me 🙂

[hazy pivot]

U believe Czech translation is already completed and we will be releasing it soon. There is still an opportunity to see if you can help with the effort going forward :) @sage carbon can reach out.

[granite wave]

I have random idea about mode where leader can set what cooldown to any roles what this role can what can't and more and create with this custom roles

[turbid dawn]

So a very customizable mode?

[modest crag]

hello i could ask if i could help with the translation into czech

[granite wave]

Noo it's completed

[modest crag]

okey

[abstract barn]

In meetings, votes on people fade in

[turbid dawn]

If I'm understanding, these two are part or fowl play and the gamemode consists of a hitman target game?

I guess we'll know for sure later down the line but I had to ask here because general doesn't have image perms

[shell ice]

%idea Task Master. Goose with X extra simple tasks that count towards the bar in case other goose are really slow at tasking. Gets some extra money for task victory. If killed early, loses the ability to do the X bonus tasks that weren't completed. # can be changed for balance. I feel regular goose stinks and having the option to task victory when others arent tasking enough would be great way to pressure the ducks and make ducks want to find+ kill task master. or maybe X tasks that guarantee 30% of the task bar.

[dense granite]

Thanks @shell ice for your feedback, we'll be sure to look at it

[tulip ingot]

Hello

[sharp cliff]

Vr goose goose duck

[narrow orchid]

a button for the ready sign

[hazy pivot]

Can you elaborate?

[narrow orchid]

at he moent you must click with the mouse on ready button...and i think when it replace a a key on the keyboard instead of a mouse click it would be comfortable

[sage carbon]

i think it used to be spacebar, but we disabled that because people were spamming it

[hot comet]

I feel like proxy shouldn’t have to be only in private matches they should make it in public as well or be able to change it in the settings back in forth. It would eliminate people having to post codes all day just to play

[turbid dawn]

It's been decided against

[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 spear]

@hot comet the above

[hazy pivot]

We will be introducing a hanging out game mode where you can make a public game and take it private.

[hot comet]

Would you be able to switch back and forth from private to public ???

[hazy pivot]

No, you would be able to take a hangout group to a private game but never make it public.

[turbid dawn]

Sticker Idea for the discord in #📷︱photo-gallery

[minor sail]

Guys, is the "self-vote" tactic legit?

Today I play a game which I proposed that people should cast a self-vote turn to reveal the Falcon. Then there is a denial with the reason that: "If we play like that, Falcon will be unable to play"

I just reply that: "That's a tactic and balanced feature"

[turbid dawn]

yeah

it is

[minor sail]

but they (2-3 players in a group of 10) keep bashing me, with the reason "no one plays like that"

[turbid dawn]

If everyone votes themselves but 1 person thats fair play

but most people won't do it

dodos use it as an opportunity to get voted out

and ducks usually band together to deny it

[minor sail]

They made the bashs in waiting room, so I am so confused

Guess I have to find another group to play, since they opt out Dodo because "not fun"

[turbid dawn]

do you play in public games?

[late spear]

Pst this is general ideas... may wanna move to general

[turbid dawn]

thatd be smort

[minor sail]

sort of private (a small group of players)

[thin oyster]

be able to search people by nick name or to be able to add people

[simple temple]

I'm pretty sure their already working on a friend list

[thin oyster]

I hope soon I lost great people today

[silver path]

Friend list is coming soon

[turbid dawn]

Have you guys considered adding the Snoop Goose to the #live-birds? He is slightly different but I'd understand if it's deemed a useless addition because there are already 2 snoops

[opal crane]

You should rename mimic to ugly duckling

[simple temple]

Oof

[opal crane]

It’s a reference to the story, I promise I’m not just being mean 😅

[sage carbon]

im lazy

[turbid dawn]

[sage carbon]

what do you think of this idea alex

the snoop goose gets enhanced vision in the closets

[turbid dawn]

I like it, a fair compromise

It's an ok idea

[rich dagger]

A nice compromise for not being able to move between hiding spots

[turbid dawn]

I have a feeling shawn is a bit... against the whole thing

[rich dagger]

What could possibly make you think that

[left hearth]

(Joke)Let’s make a mode called battle royale: 100 falcons on one map.

[turbid dawn]

I mean Fowl Play is bound to be coming soon so we'll get a free for all soon

[left hearth]

Oh yea

[loud glade]

I am so excited for Fowl Play Mode!

[supple oracle]

i was noticing that there is a streamer who has the ability to talk during the game too

even without the meeting he could talk

why would other people can't get it

he could talk in between of the game

[ocean cypress]

If it is a private lobby proximity chat is enabled so players can talk during a round

[supple oracle]

i think it was private

[ocean cypress]

so as long as you can see the other player you can talk to and hear them

[supple oracle]

oh

like among us
