@dawn pendant The role is not bad. It is doing everything we wanted it to as an extension of the jail mechanic.

A lot of thought goes into these roles and some of them, although appear subtle or "useless" on the surface to newer players, are extremely useful in a team-based environment.

For instance, I've said it many times, the sheriff is arguably the worst role for the geese. It often costs the entire team the game, it confuses other teammates and almost always provides cover/alibis for the actual killers. No one complains about this role because it has a kill button. This character lives at the edge of chaos.

Sure killing is fun and we want people to have fun, but if the fun comes at an extreme cost to the balance of the game, the net fun of the group is reduced.

Locksmith opening sabotage doors chips away at the duck's ability to use sabotage. This is the duck's main tool for killing/getting away. We do not want a role that can unilaterally negate a chunk of the effectiveness of a sabotage without risk. It's too powerful. It's the same reason we have no geese that can see in the dark.

Hi

hi

[robust rivet]

i just got idea that on discord you should have language role

[turbid dawn]

Add thor's bird with sunglasses emoji to this discord? This might not be possible and I understand if it is as such.

[ocean cypress]

this emote was made for my twitch channel but I wouldn't mind sharing it with the discord world. Maybe when I get back to a PC... if I remember

[untold sequoia]

how to do this task?

[rich dagger]

If the music sounds slow, tap the UP ⬆️ arrow about 5-7 times and let the music stabilize until the task completes. You may need to go up or down one until you get it just right.
If the music starts fast, do the same thing but with the DOWN arrow

[granite wave]

I'm still confused about the documents task lol

[slate kernel]

Hello people, are there default filters when you enter the find game menu or I have to select language every time?

[zinc talon]

Poker in the lounge room?

[muted glen]

Yeah it took me sometime alone to figure out how that works.

[hazy pivot]

It should match whatever language you're playing in

[granite wave]

Medium is world-wide known word that defines someone who is somehow connected to ghosts, I dont see reason to translate it. Also Czech And Slovak translates are not connected so they would have to change the Slovak one too

[zinc talon]

Not a lot of people are doing tasks and just skip it entirely. How about the more tasks you complete the more coins you get? 🙂

[patent briar]

There is a setting that kicks people who don’t do tasks

[golden parrot]

The addition of spectator mode is also another incentive to actually finish your tasks

[lone jewel]

does the game kick players who afk for too long

[sage carbon]

yes

[strange gyro]

I want a shirt with all the random phrases and absolutely no context. “Honor the Canadian” “I just want to touch a body” “I’m the morphling” “Forever Dodo” “You’ve been partied” “Will you be my lawyer” - and my personal favorite "I'm Pumpkin Spice Latte Basic"

[strange gyro]

"I thought this was a task"

[rich dagger]

Play a game of TeeKO with all the quotes being GGD quotes like these

[pale reef]

You guys are missing the most iconic line: "Where?"

[dawn pendant]

%idea Add an option to the roles list in the in-game settings where the host can toggle "Advanced settings". This removes the checkmark boxes next to every role in favor of a "Minimum" and "Maximum" role limit. These then become numbers instead of checkmarks with blank, question mark and checked as options. The advanced settings thing would help mitigate confusion for people who have no idea how the new system would work.

If advanced settings is enabled, each role has Min and Max with a number behind both. If you set Min to 1, you guarantee that the role will appear, like setting it to checked currently. But you can also set Max to 2, which means there can be up to 2 of that role. If you set Min to 3 and Max to 3, there will always be 3 of that role. but if you do set three Duck roles up like this, it essentially becomes random what the Ducks will be from these three roles, could be 3 Assassins and 0 Cannibal and Snitch, or 1 of each. The highest you can go is 3.

The reason this benefits the game is because it adds a layer of customization to lobbies that the game currently does not have, while removing nothing. If a lobby dislikes certain roles with 16 players in, you may end up as a Classic Goose. With this, you can set each Goose role to Min 1 Max 2 and you guarantee that everyone gets something the lobby likes. This also changes gameplay significantly, as setting everything to Min 1 Max 2 means role calling is no longer a way to clear yourself easily. And it adds some crazy scenarios possible, like 3 Ducks, 2 Sheriff, 2 Falcon, 2 Vigi in one game which ends up becoming a bloodbath. Essentially, you can tailor lobbies more closely to what everyone wants. It changes the game significantly, but in my opinion in a good way.

[dense granite]

Thanks @dawn pendant for your feedback, we'll be sure to look at it

[rich dagger]

Maybe one day for Classic Rejects. Double/Triple roles does not fit in Classic Plus.

[hazy pivot]

Yes, this will break the balance of classic.

[sage carbon]

There are some roles a second of might work

[hazy pivot]

everyone is a mechanic

[mint plume]

I think you fooled them when you made Dodo a double roll 😛

[olive nexus]

Selam

[quartz scroll]

There is possible to have goose role that able to see in the dark? (but not see any colour while they use ability)

[sage carbon]

we like ducks being the only ones, so newer ducks can have a way to kill

[pale reef]

%idea An option to assign the first person who did all their tasks (or fake tasks) to be the captain. All players told who the captain is and they get 2 votes and an extra emergency (only when fake tasks are on).

[dense granite]

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

[pale reef]

Basically it can give the geese a usually reliable leader, although if a duck or neutral REALLY wants to, they can get more credibility if they do their fake tasks first.

[strange gyro]

Why is it so hard to find on gaggle.fun where to buy cosmetics packs / gold packs? In the Goose Goose Duck section I only easily can find where to download the game, but not where to directly buy packs and directly support gaggle instead of having to go through steam.

[ocean cypress]

Thanks for the feedback! There are a couple different ways to navigate to the Goose Goose Duck section of the website however, there may be some changes we can look at to make more accessible. If you're looking for the shop here is a direct link https://gaggle.fun/shop/goose-goose-duck

[strange gyro]

Thank you so much!

[oak berry]

When a Dueling Dodo finishes their tasks and is met with no arrow, meaning the other dodo is already dead, they simply have one free kill on anyone, just like vigilante.

[mint plume]

no... they can only kill other dodos we don't need an extra vig

[fickle island]

I think there should be a way to skip through the screen that shows how many coins we earned during that round, it's a bit long.

[silver path]

Might cause problems. People skipping it and being able to steal colors and whatnot 😰 I like my color

[fickle island]

Maybe make it to where it only goes to the lobby if the host is ready?

[silver path]

Some people might wanna see their coins tho

[pale reef]

It would be cool if it was somehow integrated into the results screen

[fickle island]

You could also have it just as a little notification thing in the lobby?

Like a quick little flash that says +(coins) after a game

[silver path]

Idk, people could also just wait < 5 seconds

[fickle island]

That too, it just feels a bit too long

[sage carbon]

if your game ends really fast, you get no egg screen

so maybe you should just play faster

[hazy pivot]

We will be updating this end screen soon

We will provide the ability to play it "fast"

[pale reef]

Will we ever be able to see what the people that left were?

[dense granite]

Thanks @verbal cosmos for your feedback, we'll be sure to look at it

[icy meteor]

It is sometimes possible to deduce through pets.
Can you perhaps create an option to show or turn off your pet?

[hazy pivot]

Pets will not display at all unless the player is being rendered on screen.

If you see their pet you see them

We carefully considered this.

If you can't see any part of the player you can't see their pet.

[mint plume]

imagine a task that requires 2 players to unlock it by simultaneously making their pets go through a mini-maze and push a button simultaneously... like it rewards a bounty or a power up kind of like "an immunity idol" you become immune to being voted out at next meeting causes the next highest person with votes to go out instead -- you can use it on another player similar to assassin's shot (role guessing not required) -- unlocks at like 50% tasks done

[patent briar]

Wouldn’t really be fair for people who don’t have any pets

[mint plume]

it would use a generic pet if you don't own one or like you roll an egg or idk... yeah thats it, 2 birds simultaneously lay an egg and steer it to a trigger

[misty nimbus]

Hi, had a thought about the mimic role. How about the mimic has to finish their tasks and if they do they then get sheriff powers?

[cosmic ruin]

%suggestion I would still really like an option for allowing the dead to hear the living. As a streamer it is a bit annoying to not be able to hear and let my chat hear what is going on especially if I die first.

[dense granite]

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

[ocean cypress]

as a dead goose if you complete all your tasks, if spectators are not disabled you can spectate the living players

[warped spear]

%idea Stork System

Once per round players could click on a stork (which would be in a random place) and by clicking on it the player who clicked could write a letter (anonymous or with the player's name) and choose a player to send the letter

Details:
Players would not be able to send a letter while the stork is already delivering another one, players would see the stork going to the person the player selected and could follow him and while there is a sabotage the stork cannot send letters

[dense granite]

Thanks @warped spear for your feedback, we'll be sure to look at it

[warped spear]

I think this system would work better on maps like Goosechapel or the next egypt map

[median drum]

I think this idea itself is fine, but it wouldn’t work for a game like GGD since people can just send each other their roles, or player names, etc, and there’s not really much that can be done to control what people say.

[warped spear]

But players can lie in the cards

[pale reef]

I like this, a sort of private chat but it's quite limited. It would be cool if there was a role that can read or manipulate messages that they shouldnt be seeing normally

[rich dagger]

I think the biggest problem with the Stork System comes in the UI for mobile, and having text entry boxes popping up during the game seem like it would be pretty intrusive and time consuming. I'd expect a lot of frustrated players trying to type something out only to have a body reported or meeting called.

The communication part of it doesn't seem significantly different from finding someone in the game and speaking to them, aside from being able to send the message to anyone regardless of proximity.

[median drum]

Also, true, people can lie, though not everyone does or wants to, especially if they’re actually the Canadian or something. There’s a slight possibility it could work with anonymous, but that’s assuming people aren’t telling the truth about other people and themselves

[warped spear]

With some changes the system will be confirmable

[granite wave]

we need a kitten fart emote

[vast sky]

chat system will be good

[coarse leaf]

I had the idea for the technician they should be able to fix a sabatoge once per game

[granite wave]

maybe not spawn some1 who got bomb right before meeting called on top of demo next round

[tall dock]

I think spawning after a meeting is completely randomized so it’s just kind of a luck of the draw type of thing.

[mint plume]

its randomized if the lobby host chose to randomize... IMO its more fun if after meetings everyone spawns at the button / statue equivalent

[fading hornet]

ADD ARABIC!!! its spoken by around half a bilion people!!!!!!!!!!!*

[craggy hinge]

Admins: "Oh yeah... " Adds it after couple of days

[mint plume]

Its not always about speaking, its about demand and they need translators for some stuff.

[granite wave]

Yeah, if they want to add new language they first need some translators to translate all the stuff.

[toxic summit]

Indeed. They need people to volunteer to do the translations before they can put those translations in the game. Usually, people will step up and say "Hey, I noticed X isn't a supported language. I can volunteer as a translator if it would help."

[verbal cosmos]

why was my %idea removed? Should I have used %suggestion instead? would love some feedback. If I do anything wrong I would like to know so I don't do it again.

[ocean cypress]

We don't remove ideas, You got smacked by the bot for too many emojis it looks like

But the idea is still in our repository

[hazy pivot]

Bot has no feelings, does not decide to block things based on content. It doesn't like emoji spam

As Chris said, we still see it.

[verbal cosmos]

Lol, ok that's good to know. thanks for the feedback!

[mint plume]

I think thats how Shawn got rid of MG1... He piled it full of emoji's and the bots blasted it into another dimension

[worthy tangle]

Really? I thought it was confiscated by the Hexagon Management Association.

[hazy pivot]

I deleted it

[granite wave]

i think we should have more sweaters, they look cute;3

[turbid dawn]

Yeah, it's a good #🎩︱cosmetic-ideas

[craggy turtle]

ability to kick players as a host Mid game.

so many n words and kids swearing, people shouting in mic during meetings they need to be kicked.

[rich dagger]

Mute then kick after game ends. The ability to kick during a game is too abusable

[rare flame]

If it was a public game like that, I think you could click the X to block them temporarily. Muting them is the only way to deal with their microphone until back in the lobby.

[trim pumice]

I mean host will gain a victory by kicking people mid game to secure his victory(in a cheating way)

[mint plume]

If they add blocking, it should also have an auto-mute for VC/proxy and a note option. The reason I suggest a note is that sometimes its a temporary thing, like someone has an excessively loud bird, kid, etc. or say you kicked someone for a certain reason like "overtalks" so you can understand why you may have blocked, kicked, or muted them. Notes can also help with friends who might use a weird account name. The idea is only for the client user to read these notes, nobody else. So yeah they could be stored locally on your pc or phone, but the trouble I see is in multiplatforms. Servers would need to upload, save, and download these notes for those who play on other systems, like mobile. This is why I could see it being more of an Overwatch mod capability when/if it ever gets published.

[tardy iris]

Hey guys, just wondering. I've been planning on doing a GGD tournament in my channel. But as a game host I can't be on Spec mode. Just playing. If you guys could make this possible would be great

[granite wave]

just make someone else host the game, and if u play on streaming tournament people could cheat.. U could make an video about it though

[tardy iris]

i can delay the stream in 5 in and it's safe.

5 minutes

[granite wave]

hmm that's also possible

[tardy iris]

it's just a suggestion so the game could bring another option and make an even more fun way to interact with our audience.

[fickle island]

Is there a way to farm materials quickly? I personally feel the amount needed to buy new death animations is a little much.

[sage carbon]

You don't see them anyways

[fickle island]

I know but still

[granite wave]

please increase friend list cap (100 friend atm)

[worthy tangle]

We get it, you just have too many friends for the friends list to hold. Alright buddy no need to flex

||/j btw||

[frank night]

We are looking into making the friend list cap higher, nothing has been decided yet though

[burnt shadow]

This is my random idea about a new gamemode, this mode is called 'catch the traitor' in this mode, everyone but one person is ducks and the last one is mimic, there is no ringing the bell in this mode, and all ducks have to kill other person randomly to killed mimic in the game, both duck and mimic can get in the vent in this mode, making it harder to catch mimic

[granite wave]

what if the mimic just camps the whole game?

[burnt shadow]

hm.... good question, I didn't think about this

[rare flame]

You mean like Dine and Dash?

[pale reef]

Is there a way to save our public room search filters whenever we log in? It would be a nice QOL change especially when we get more ways to play the game down the road.

[brave wyvern]

Tic-tac-toe or connect 4 in lounge but use Eggs for O and crossed feathers or knives for X maybe? I enjoy the lounge alot

[hazy pivot]

We have a connect 4 with powers game coming soon

[turbid dawn]

Steal fishing from club penguin, nothing more or less

[tall dock]

Is it really stealing is said game no longer exists?

[sage carbon]

does club penguin no longer exist?

oh, per wikipedia "any of the private servers were shut down around May 15, 2020, after Digital Millennium Copyright Act filings by the Walt Disney Company were sent on May 13, 2020, initiated by concerns about Club Penguin Online, such as children being groomed by pedophiles and child pornography."

[rich dagger]

Good old DMCA

[granite wave]

It honestly took them long enough to think about that too

[turbid dawn]

The original Club Penguin was deleted earlier to make room for the new 3d version, that one with predator concerns was that one I think

[pale reef]

If you really want to count the fan servers, practically a one to one copy of it minus having to pay for memberships, yeah that game is long dead

[turbid dawn]

Opening Statements in trick or treat make not much sense

Could they be auto turned off perhaps

[sage carbon]

it should be fixed in the new patch but

it is automatically off, whats happening is actually that you played with classic+ with it on, and then switched to trick or treat

if you have it off in c+ and then switch it should be off

[turbid dawn]

I see

Good to know

[night frost]

what if you add a 'Ask to Join' or 'Request to join' Button in the friend menu? or a messaging Menu or a Test chat?

[sage carbon]

it's a feature we're working on for the future

[night frost]

Oh Cool thank's!

[burnt hedge]

Hi . What if u add a greek language option at public games ?

[hazy pivot]

Our game is translated by the community. If we have someone who is willing to translate and maintain the game in Greek we could add it.

We can however ads Greek as a filter selection if we see the number of players increase.

[undone dragon]

the lovers should be renamed to "the swans". swans mate for life and can die of a broken heart if their partner dies.

[hazy pivot]

Species of birds have their own specific win conditions. Lovers are still ducks and/or geese

We have a new neutral role in the works though.

[dusky meadow]

Duck role where you get 1 random kill per game, that way someone can randomly die and no killer is near, or fellow duck might die. Can kill regular too

[hazy pivot]

#🐣︱classic-role-ideas

[hazy pivot]

This wouldn't be fun for other players.

[novel quail]

Goose goose duck game ping maybe make @all-ages-gameping and a @foggy tree+gameping

[rich dagger]

Nooooooooo

[mellow iris]

no thank you

If I'm looking for a game, I'll go down to the LFG channels, I don't need being pinged for it at random times of the day when i'm not looking for a game

[night crypt]

would be cool if we could have stats for our friend list, like how many times we've killed or been killed by various players!

[twilit jacinth]

It would be nice if there was a way to turn off zooming in on my bird when staying idle and zooming out while I'm moving. It's causing motion sickness for some.

[stuck shadow]

Crow relay would be nice for neutrals and crow can poison the other neutrals and ducks :) but can t geese. So crow win with geese

[craggy hinge]

New unique death scenes of each role

?

[granite wave]

What u mean? Theres always death stingers and those are not for roles, but for person itself.. Or u mean something like Sheriff suicide and such?

[craggy hinge]

Oops... didnt specified. what I mean is that when you get voted out as lovers. Shouldn't the other lover run towards death with you too?

For example, in the Mayan voting death scene. instead of forcing to get jumped. Your other lover jumps with you.

But its going to be entertaining if the settings were to set to reveal roles after death.

Just ignore what I said. Its too into the future of an idea.

[hazy pivot]

We would rather players realize someone else is missing than to put it on display. It's part of the social deception.

[stuck shadow]

Or maybe you can add chicken role. Chickens are neutral. And chicken should vote him/her target. And chicken's target it will be the same as bodyguard's and hitman's target :)

[sage carbon]

wont it be hard to vote out someone who is the dedicated target of another player..?

[stuck shadow]

Actually, it's true. But if you do you will earn 10 silver or maybe 1 gold :)

[sage carbon]

yeah i dont like any of it sorry lol

[stuck shadow]

I'm sorry if I stole your time.

[sage carbon]

its no big deal, i just think it's hard to balance

[stuck shadow]

you right

I'm sorry if I kept you busy

Are role ideas welcome? If so I have a role called the scout that can use short bursts of speed that allow them to go through walls.

#🐣︱classic-role-ideas

[covert igloo]

How about putting a “jail” in the new temple map. You could put people who tie votes in a cages above the God. And you can make either a task for everyone to let them go or a Butten in each of the fogs for the ducks to press/stand on at the same time for them to feed the God

[hazy pivot]

The way the map is designed, jail works too much in favor of the geese. It would actually protect them for a time being 🙂 With no vents in, it's probably not the best decision to put it on this map.

[sage carbon]

im pretty happy with the number of jails in GGD in general

i like the concept of maps feeling different and having different mechanics

[pale reef]

I feel like IF any role deserves a unique voting out screen it would be the dodo because it wouldnt matter anyway because the game would already be over

[novel quail]

then dont get the role thats the point of it being a role

[novel quail]

but i still think this is a good idea

[sage carbon]

nah

it would be abused

[craggy hinge]

Oohh... Cool Idea El Chonkyrito. I have an idea for it too. For example, if the dodo is voted out in the Mayans, the dodo will jump voluntarily with a smug on its face. Indicating that they lose.

[short ore]

i think developer can add sum kind like message or groupchat in the game, ‘cuz i think it’ll be more fun to having a new friend in there

[noble orbit]

for some reason my lfg is acting up

[rich dagger]

I put you in quarantine because you repeatedly cross post your codes into both English LFG channels.

[noble orbit]

but i didnt after

i couldnt find my messages to delete

[noble orbit]

when do i get out

[rich dagger]

You have access now to one LFG channel. Please also be considerate and do not spam the channel with lobby codes repeatedly.

[noble orbit]

but what about all the rest

[rich dagger]

How many do you need? English codes only go in either all ages or 18+, not both. And codes should not be posted in multiple languages.

[noble orbit]

ok

Heretic Duck
The Heretic Duck has an additional sabotage near the potato god that allows them to feed as many rotten items to anger the god as possible. If the Heretic feeds the god enough, a trap activates near the god that automatically causes the god the erupt in anger and eat the nearby Goose.

please add reconnecting to a game as an option, its frustrating getting disconnected every second game

[pale reef]

Will we ever get a way to convert crafting materials or at least some more things to use them on? Stuck with a lot of scrap metal and not a lot of stones

[sage carbon]

yes

there are some plans to chonkyrito

[sage carbon]

this is something we've considered and might look at in the future

i think currently you'll be disconnected if the game doesnt hear back from you for 2 seconds

[wild sable]

ye 2 seconds is insanely low :(

[ocean cypress]

a lot can happen in 2 seconds

[mellow iris]

I turned into a newt in 2 seconds

but i got better

[sage carbon]

i dont really think its that low

people play games with like.. 10-50 ms

and things lag at 100 to 200 ms

2 seconds is 2000 ms

[hazy pivot]

2 seconds is standard, some games that don't rely on streaming connections can stay connected but games will entirely remove you from the game for even 1000ms

[ashen thorn]

The penguin. Frost touch with a timer,

[silver loom]

[granite wave]

Do you consider to add in-game interactions like waving/hi-five/backflip etc.?

[rare flame]

They said before they want to limit information that can be traded when wordless.

[granite wave]

Well if they made those they would have to make it available only with no cosmetics (like kill animation)

[granite wave]

Not necessary to be new animations for each costume, they can just add multiple emoticons that could be shown in-game

[granite wave]

well so u mean new images in "fart emotes"?

Well fart emotes could do, yet if you can use multiple fart emoted in the same game, that would be fun I guess.

and it would helps those playing without a mic. Others can guess the messages they try to convey.

[vivid wedge]

Probably already suggested, but can you turn the mic in the lounge into a party duck trigger point? So we can sing partied 😄
And maybe add a karaoke machine 😉

[ashen thorn]

I would love this!!

งงนะ

[frigid dock]

ดิสไทยหายไปไหน

[dawn pendant]

If the Hitman kills their target, their kill cooldown should be reduced to 1 second after that kill. This gives purpose to the Bodyguard and adds more to the Hitman role apart from guaranteeing a role that wants to group up with others.

[ashen horizon]

the hitman already gets a coin bonus for killing their target. The bodyguard gets the bonus for successfully protecting their charge

[dawn pendant]

these things matter nothing to the actual game

the gravy was changed because it essentially did nothing, or at least im pretty sure that was the motivation

[hazy pivot]

The gravy as a visual indicator still had utility but it wasn't being used properly by players. The hitman also knows their target is safe to kill.

Information is power in a social deception game.

[dawn pendant]

everyone except a duck can be the target of a hitman?

[hazy pivot]

The gravy needed to be nudged into a direction where players would essentially play it more "properly".

[ashen horizon]

Ok but but reducing the hitman's cooldown to pretty much an instant refresh is op. The only thing i'd really change about the hitman bodyguard is that the two be notified that the target/charge has been killed if someone else did it

[dawn pendant]

i dont like a duck role that is arguably worse than classic duck that causes one player to potentially throw the game because of 4 coins

[hazy pivot]

@dawn pendant it's not worse. Bodyguards sticking with their target slow down tasks. Ignore them. You want them alive.

[dawn pendant]

i just want literally anything for the hitman apart from coins, its a bad incentive to have a role be "gain more coins", as a bonus for completing your objective yes, but as the main objective no

bodyguards sticking to their targets means they coimplete tasks together

[hazy pivot]

This is slower

[dawn pendant]

its a stretch to use that as an argument isnt it

[hazy pivot]

No it's math.

You are a hitman, geese complete tasks 5-15% slower.

This sounds more appealing doesn't it?

[dawn pendant]

no that sucks as a duck role

that is no impact from the hitmans side, you "passively" increase task duration, thats not a very exciting role

[ashen horizon]

respectfully, thats subjective. i think its a great incentive. i have a pet dragon that gets me 30 extra, so if im hitman and i get my target thats another 5 on top of that plus the 15-30 coins i get from game so im lookin at about 60 coins

[hazy pivot]

No it's not, but we give you an option on how you want to play it.

It has its place in the game.

[worthy tangle]

Hey, thats a %15 increase in the amount of time the ducks have to win

[dawn pendant]

that 15% matters little if you could have an ability to help you actually win

and also, lets not act like this 15% comes at no cost

higher pigeon win rate for one

[hazy pivot]

I'll let you guys hash out the value based on your playstyles.

We have game data, we don't argue with that :)

[dawn pendant]

so what is the hitman win rate compared to when they arent in the game

[worthy tangle]

I personally like hitman, more coins means I can get customization items quicker

[ashen horizon]

I mean theres nothing to hash, this is just down to personal feelings on a certain role. I like it, Penduck doesnt. thats how its gonna be with anything

[worthy tangle]

yeah

[dawn pendant]

but its bad

[ashen horizon]

thats your opinion

[worthy tangle]

So? It has an effect and I find it fun to play as

[ashen horizon]

Its not objectively bad, you just dont like it. theres a difference

[hazy pivot]

If only there was a way to make it so it wasn't in the game.

[ashen horizon]

ikr

[dawn pendant]

alright i dont know why im even bothering, trying to raise a concern about a role and im met with "i like getting more coins" and "they cause the game to last 10% longer" as an argument when a lover duck literally just stalls the game forever

[hazy pivot]

^ This is also not true

[dawn pendant]

thats also an issue to me by the way

[hazy pivot]

Lovers speed up the games.

[dawn pendant]

alright i guess its not an issue

[ashen horizon]

Its not that its just you've yet to present a compelling reason to change the role because you simply dont like it..

[dawn pendant]

ive given my reasons at the start

[worthy tangle]

Because your concerns are that: A- the role has no effect, and that B- no one is gonna risk it for more coins

[ashen horizon]

compelling being the operative word

[dawn pendant]

my concern is that it creates a false sense of impact where someone wants to kill their target when its actually bad to do so, thus ending up killing fewer than youre supposed toi

i want there to be a real reason why killing your target is good

coins is not a good reason

and what is saying that the 10% increased game length isnt able to be stacked on top of another positive effect for killing your target?

this is not mutually exclusive

[ashen horizon]

And what we are trying to say is to YOU coins isnt a good reason, but to others it is

[dawn pendant]

oh my god

read the argument

[ashen horizon]

its not objective

[dawn pendant]

youre disagreeing because you want to

[ashen horizon]

no im disagreeing that coins is a bad reason

[dawn pendant]

ripley just please stop replying to this

[hazy pivot]

Whoa

Ok

[ashen horizon]

no 🙂

[worthy tangle]

The Hitman is meant to be a fun challenge role that passively gives the ducks more time, causes interesting situations and gives the duck a fun challenge to play around.

[dawn pendant]

it doesnt cause interesting scenarios

bodyguard does

[hazy pivot]

Penduck this is an open forum here. Please follow the rules.

[dawn pendant]

he should too then

[hazy pivot]

Please don't tell people to stop replying to your messages.

[ashen horizon]

what walliam said

[dawn pendant]

reply to my arguments instead of saying "but i like it"

just because you like it doesnt mean it cant be improved

[ashen horizon]

your arguement is "i dont like it"

[hazy pivot]

If you don't like people replying to your messages don't type them. Just like if you don't like a role because you find it not motivating or interesting enough don't play with it.

Just want to ask ia There gonna Be Indonesian language in Goose Goose duck?

I think it could be cool if the gramophones in the lounge could work as a sort of sound test for the background tracks (menu themes, meeting themes, the gramophone task song, etc)

[ashen horizon]

you're a genius!

random fart setting it chooses a random fart you own and uses it every time you fart

We haven't seen much interest from Indonesia, if you can point us to a growing community we can reach out and translate the game.

[ebon shoal]

ad a robotic role,can summon a drone that can do task and specitar a goose/duck (their don't see it)if the duck/goose die,the drone will been found and been dismast after that ,can kill 1 time and that 1 time is the drone die

[mint plume]

would be interesting for a technician remake, and to have a duck version... 2 robo birds one that can kill and another that can sense a robot in the proximity - players stand still and the robo birds are spawned randomly in map (they only hear what is around the robo bird while controlling)

[mint plume]

were they removed from lfg permissions by posting same code in multiple rooms? and this is not the channel for that comment, it is not an idea.. its a bug or misconception

[wraith sierra]

%suggestion might be suggested already (seen 4 people here said it without formal, but a Vote Kick, in recent days seen people get on and abuses their microphones, from screaming to spreading bigotry and profanity. If a vote kick appears in-game a vote kick icon should appear.

[dense granite]

Thanks @wraith sierra for your feedback, we'll be sure to look at it

[rich dagger]

Being able to kick mid-game would be too abusable. During a game you can mute the offending player or even deafen yourself (default hotkey is P for PC players) to give you plenty of time to go to the player menu to mute them. Lobby hosts can always kick out offensive players in the lobby, and if it is a private lobby, they will not be able to rejoin.

[magic yarrow]

Someone in a public game is being toxic/abusive/swearing/racist

Unfortunately, we cannot control when bad actors enter a public game, but we do empower you by providing tools to help moderate these games. Conversations that go on in public games are still private, and we do not have access to the audio in any way. You can block or mute the relevant players in-game and use the in-game censoring filter. You can report the offending player as well, and these reports will be attached to their account, and may result in bans. If you are the lobby host, you can kick the offending players, and if you are not the host you can ask the host to kick them. Players who are kicked will not be able to rejoin the game unless permitted back in by the host. If the player in question is the host, and a sufficient number of players block their mics, they will be kicked from the game, and once again that will be reflected on their account.

Someone joined my private game and is being toxic/abusive/swearing/racist

Unfortunately, we cannot control when bad actors enter a private game, but we do empower you by providing tools to help moderate these games. Conversations that go on in private games are private, we do not have access to the audio in any way. Players themselves ultimately have control of who enters private games. You can block or mute the relevant players in-game and use the in-game censoring filter. If you are the lobby host, you can kick the offending players, and if you are not the host you can ask the host to kick them. Players who get kicked will not be able to rejoin the game unless permitted back in by the host. If the player in question is the host themselves, you and everyone else bothered by their behavior should leave and form a lobby of like-minded individuals, with your own agreed upon rules. If no one else in the game agrees with you, you probably shouldn't be playing in that lobby anyways.

[wraith sierra]

I known of such things in other games... some of which tends to add limits, such as only 1 vote kick per game, but outside the game such as lobby no limit.

There is also the issue that not everyone knows about the... actually would this be an idea?

%suggestion Vote Gag (Mutes voice chat), it doesn't mute them and on the person that is Gag, it will show as Gag under their name.

[dense granite]

Thanks @wraith sierra for your feedback, we'll be sure to look at it

[wraith sierra]

This way they can still play and if the person continues in profanity and such in chat, it can be reported more easily.

[rich dagger]

So something that not everyone is aware of, if you encounter a player that you mute by sliding their volume all the way down to zero, if you encounter them again in another lobby, their volume will still be set to zero. I use this as a way to know that I've had a negative interaction with this player in the past, even if they're playing under a different display name

[wraith sierra]

Doesn't work on people with multiple accounts I am afraid.

Saw a guy pop up with multiple accounts using voice chat about "meatball profanity" and a lot of bigotry. 2 to 3 days in a row

Plus some people will abuse the microphone especially in Classic+ when they are Dodo... almost everyone will vote them out without even muting.

Perhaps having a mute button in the voting screen won't hurt.

I mean mute the specific player.

hmm... I will post a better suggestion after I make a screenshot edit

How about this?

Since meetings do have a time limit

[rich dagger]

So I think the problem you would run into there (not that it's a bad idea) is you would end up getting a lot of complaints on accidental votes while trying to use that mute feature, especially for players on mobile

[wraith sierra]

can be unmuted too

hmm

mobile... how about holding the icon for 3 seconds?

holding won't vote

Or, perhaps similar to assassin but the mute icon at the bottom right of screen

[rich dagger]

IF there were going to be a mute feature on the vote screen, I would envision it more like the Assassin shot, where you click/tap on an icon near the edge, then click/tap on the player you wanted to mute

[wraith sierra]

lol same thinking

[rich dagger]

I don't think this would go on the urgent list of things, but could see it as a QoL down the road perhaps

[wraith sierra]

yea

should I make another % suggestion, or this will be fine?

[rich dagger]

This is fine, the devs read everything, the % function with the bot just helps catalogue ideas

[wraith sierra]

ok, thanks for the discussion, it's nice to have someone that can actually dispute problems where I can see if I can adapt to such.

[frail stream]

console ports?

[rich dagger]

Potentially way down the line

[frail stream]

oh

[granite wave]

Id like a setting to mute the game when it minimized, so I can alt tab

[coral wasp]

i just wish there were a mute or amplify button for a certain person/ppl you’re in conversation with but people keep taking forever. and some people have no self recognition, lol.

[hazy pivot]

Delete other player's account 10,000 gold

[granite wave]

I guess you could add a confirmation button for voting process to prevent this.

[hazy pivot]

More clicks is never a good design.

[cloud mulch]

I would like to suggest a report button or a block button. Last night in the lobby I was in with friends. Two random people showed up calling us the N word really heavy. The host kicked them. But I was also told they joined other lobbies and were repeating their behavior.

[sage carbon]

there is both a report button and a block button

[coral wasp]

yeah there’s the report player button and if super toxic people like that are lobby jumping to troll and they’re gone before you can report them, i’d recommend going to the recent players section of your friends list and get their player tan and then contact one of the many community moderators on here so they can handle the situation internally. but also very sorry y’all had to experience that. 🖤

[cloud mulch]

Oh ok. I am on mobile so my fingers move a bit slower. I will definitely check it when I play so I know where the buttons are located. Thanks LSD and the community. Love the game.

[coral wasp]

they may still be on your recent player list. i’d say it wouldn’t hurt to still check it out.

[cloud mulch]

Cool. Will do.

[midnight shadow]

[torpid ferry]

A dead player voice chat during discussions

[turbid dawn]

Did that like happen to you or anything?

[torpid ferry]

Well i wish we could talk to ghost players with voice chat during meetings instead of listening to deductions unless you want to

[hazy pivot]

We had this, it gets WAYYY to confusing

swapping to mute them takes away from player engagement

[rare flame]

If you want to discuss during meetings while dead, you do have the chat. It's not voice, but it is communication.

[rich dagger]

%suggestion On the Gaggle site for redeeming Twitch drops, have a "Receive All" button

%suggestion possibly a dark mode option to the space map waiting lobby? The brightness (along with the stars dancing in space) trigger migraines 💥

[dense granite]

Thanks @torpid mural for your feedback, we'll be sure to look at it

[rich dagger]

They actually just talked about this on the developer update stream! They're looking into adding a brightness filter for the game

[rich dagger]

There are already cosmetics locked behind achievements! Some of them take a lot of time though

[vocal knot]

ok tanks i did't knew that

[coral wasp]

will the mobile ad reward loot ever rotate/be change/be seasonal? i think esp if they were seasonal it would really push people to stay on top of retrieving them. -i also have no idea on ggd’s return on mobile ads; like on ad agency had a flat fee or if it’s per plays-

[long nimbus]

%suggestion add the option in classic plus to be able to repeat the same role several times, to have, for example, a game of only sheriffs and ducks or a game of two demolitionists

[dense granite]

Thanks @long nimbus for your feedback, we'll be sure to look at it

[long nimbus]

oops is a idea

mb sorry

[worthy tangle]

Might be possible in classic+ rejects, but too much of the balance in classic+ is based around only having one of each role.

[magic yarrow]

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

No. Your idea is interesting, but it breaks one or all of the rules listed in the following document https://docs.google.com/document/d/1JHySGkJPkCGyTxHyU1jK7XAptCkam79RRgt_j-TFOY4/edit?usp=sharing . Feel free to give it a read if you want some insight into the roles that we would approve of

[granite wave]

I hope to use technology to add jobs that can eliminate the special jobs that geese have.
When ducks with this technology use this technology to vigilante members, vigilante members can no longer use knives and become ordinary geese.

I do want this

[ocean vale]

%suggestion - Ability to review the results screen from the previous match. It's hard to see what everyone's roles were quickly enough after a match.

[dense granite]

Thanks @ocean vale for your feedback, we'll be sure to look at it

[mellow iris]

They already have the ability to remove the vigilante's powers, by killing them

[granite wave]

Wow, you're a genius.

[wraith sierra]

Sarcasm asside, this fits more for a neutral role, not a duck role. Either way, it needs balancing. Perhaps similar to Vigilante, can only use ability once, and it can remove the role of goose/ducks respectively for the rest of the match.

Vigilante are a 1 kill per match goose... meaning they become a normal goose (in terms of ability). Which using the... hmm... "Autriche" role removal ability seems a bit useless. (I used Autriche since it's a bird that hides its head under dirt fitting name for that ability.)

[magic yarrow]

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

No. Your idea is interesting, but it breaks one or all of the rules listed in the following document https://docs.google.com/document/d/1JHySGkJPkCGyTxHyU1jK7XAptCkam79RRgt_j-TFOY4/edit?usp=sharing . Feel free to give it a read if you want some insight into the roles that we would approve of

[worthy tangle]

Having a role the disables abilities isn't really fun.
Role abilities all add different faucets to the meta, giving players more things to worry about and adding to the chaos. A role that disables others abilities only serves to eliminate potential issues without any effort.

[wraith sierra]

This is why there is in need of a balance in making roles. Even I don't like it. But giving it the 1 use per match ability is the maximum for me.

[gaunt thistle]

Even if that's the case, most players will likely assume it a bug, when they try to use their ability and nothing happens

[ashen horizon]

With any given role you dont like or perceive to be op, you can always create your own room and leave out said roles. Creating roles should be about adding to the game not subtracting from it

[topaz musk]

%suggestion Multi-Use Colors. Make it where the game can have 20 people. Reuse colors. Only available in Private Lobbies if Admin gives permission like Proxy Chat does. Many people I know only came for the Proxy but stayed for the Roles. This would be a cool big change that might attract more people 😉

[dense granite]

Thanks @topaz musk for your feedback, we'll be sure to look at it

[worthy tangle]

Guys Orange killed
Jimmy there are 5 oranges in the game and you’re one of them

[desert island]

Morphling

Morphling

There is a glitch to do this during lobby if two players select the exact same colour at the exact same time

[turbid dawn]

So you could report this issue in feedback but I think they're aware of the colorbug

Doesn't hurt to do it though just to be sure

[desert island]

I could but there are bigger fish to fry

Plus its funny

[rich dagger]

This is known and only affects the pre-game lobby. When the round begins, one person will get the color and all others will be assigned an available color

[rich dagger]

16 is pretty much the limit on lobby size without excluding a lot of people who wouldn't have the upload speed to support that much voice data

[topaz musk]

Walliam- Hence why I said "Private Games" Then many people can know each other in some regards. And if there is that many Oranges. Usually they can tell each other apart. And common. Itd be cool for Content creators to do something fun with XD Cause you cant really do that in other games like this.

D20- Well crud :/ I didnt think adding more would cause that much of a strain. But I am defiantly not a coding guy.

[rich dagger]

The current minimum requirements listed are 10 Mbps down and up. Adding more players will necessarily increase that requirement.

[frank night]

The other reason is, 16 players is already maddening enough in meetings, adding another 4 to that is going to be over the top

[rich dagger]

Also that

[hazy pivot]

Fowl play can maybe go to 20

[topaz musk]

Well thats true :3 I guess I didnt think about all the Mics involved already XD I thought the limit was mostly do to the color amount tbh. I just know a lot of times I have more people who want to jump in. But I have Pictures of most my main gang. And having over 20 people who commonly play can be hectic tbh.

[dawn pendant]

%suggestion Add an option for dead players to see task counters that track how many tasks a goose has completed. Adding some kind of responsibility will help with people not completing them in a 20 minute game. Anyone can currently just claim to have done them. There is lots of room in the voting screen to possibly add it there.

[dense granite]

Thanks @dawn pendant for your feedback, we'll be sure to look at it

[ashen horizon]

There's already a task completion bar that measures the progress of task completion and can be altered depending on the settings the host selects.

[worldly sand]

%suggestion Allow (private) lobbies to "free play" maps.

In free play, people can choose their role from the button. This suddenly gives them that role.

If you are killed you respawn after a configurable delay. (Game ending sabo causes everyone to die and then respawn, dodo being voted out causes everyone to die and then respawn, vulture eating enough bodies causes everyone to die and then respawn)

Purpose is kinda like an advanced explore+tutorial to allow more experienced players to have an active role in helping train new (friends/family) players, without throwing them into real games.

Similar to hang out there is no win condition.

[dense granite]

Thanks @worldly sand for your feedback, we'll be sure to look at it

[frank night]

There is already a "free play" explore option for maps, we just don't give the ability to change the roles.
In the tutorial section, bottom right is a map reel with the explore button on it

[worldly sand]

But that is solo only, and without the ability to be a duck instead of a goose

[rare flame]

You're a mechanic goose, so you can use the vent (and change colours as you do so).

[worldly sand]

But you can't practice sabo

[hazy pivot]

You click a button in most sabotages

It's not something that requires practice

We try to model them after things we've all done as kids or very very simple things.

[worldly sand]

Fair, I just have a lot of relatives that don't understand how to do some basic things even after tutorials.
So I was just trying to come up with something to help that.

[midnight shadow]

Instead of naming those "new" roles as what they were in Modded Among Us, why not just have them as different bird names? Like Sea gulls, Cranes, Penguins, etc... 🤔

[rich dagger]

Different bird species names are reserved for Neutral roles with their own unique win conditions

[gaunt thistle]

I understand your point, which is why I'm doing something 3rd party to help.
I'm almost ready for an early access release, but not quite.
Working on it in my spare time, I've had some help from a few community members and can always use more.

If you want to know more, my twitter is linked to my profile

[rare flame]

Also, the new roles aren't just left out because they're being copied, but the staff feel don't fit the gameplay style they want to encourage. One of their core rules is killing always works, and there's no way to come back from the dead.

[hazy pivot]

Unless you venmo me $, dead players will stay dead.

[worldly sand]

What's your account?

/s

[lucid plaza]

%suggestion This may of come up during the making of Jungle Temple but what if.. there was a slight possibility that the game will call upon a meeting without any of the players touching the meeting button? How this happens is that the game literally says one player must get voted out, let's say no sufficient votes happen, the game chooses randomly one player and that's it.

Again, very unlikely chance to happen but could help in this one map alone especially if the game drags on for a long time.

An unusual idea, but that's what I was thinking.

[dense granite]

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

[rich dagger]

I could see that being a map specific mechanic one day. Could be similar to the automatic meetings in Trick or Treat mode and the Skip button is disabled.

[dense granite]

Thanks @coarse atlas for your feedback, we'll be sure to look at it

[sage carbon]

we are reworking that panel in general

not a dropdown because that's too many clicks, but all the role information won't be visible unless you click on an information button

[hazy pivot]

Talking about this now

[lucid plaza]

Nice 🙂

[white cedar]

does anyone want to join my classic match?

[hazy pivot]

#lfg-language

oops wrong channel

sorry

[proven plume]

( not sure if it was already ) but i was thinking about a battle pass or season pass? where we pay $5 - 10 and get exclusive skins, pets, farts,gold coins and be able to use those coins to buy the new pass each season?? and so on clothes and each season we get a new goose duck and map? idk just and idea. dont kill me guys hahah

[pale reef]

[worldly sand]

Idk I always think BP take away dev from maps, and seasons make devs purposely delay maps/roles instead of releasing them when they are ready. (I guess too it depends on the season length).

[worthy tangle]

I mean, you can buy the supporters pack for some funky outfits, I don't think a battle pass suits a social deduction game very well tho.

[worldly sand]

How would you progess? Games played? Playtime? Challenges? Games won?
The first two can be cheesed (throw games, or purposely don't complete games)
Second one could be a problem if not balanced (especially if it is role specific challenges)
The last one is once again easy to game if you know the whole lobby.

Idk seems like a tricky time even balancing bp progression

[gaunt thistle]

I believe they covered a similar concept in the first developer update stream.

[valid delta]

How about a new magpie team? IT would be from 2 to 3 and we would finally have a green role i knows it cloud be to much but it sounds like a good idea

Kinda like korean mafia

[ebon shoal]

add more color

[hazy pivot]

Magpie is a new role that we will put in the game.

[valid delta]

would it be green?

we dont have a green one

[hazy pivot]

Yes

[sage carbon]

Maybe he should be blue

And we should push the vulture to a different color

[hazy pivot]

We can

[mint plume]

name colors are minor to me, only thing I wish could change were the ending cutscene so it'd match the map and /or have more flavor to it than just the colors... Like Ducks on a pile of goose bones, Lovers in a hot-tub, Dodo on a small island, Vulture at a giant dinner table with all the fixins, Falcon punching a workout dummy or acting like Rocky from Rocky / climbing stairs, idk... Pigeon with just bodies lying about (it would just end up adding big graphics so I can see why not)

sometimes that screen goes by to fast, if we added a "continue to lobby button" it would ease the reader... could force into lobby load after the egg/coin scene would naturally end.

[hazy pivot]

This isn't a bad idea

We could probably leave this exclusive to desktop

[valid delta]

I would sat this idea is 11/10

A really good one

[hazy pivot]

Yeah its kinda neat.

Something we haven't thought of

[valid delta]

Shawb would magpie have a non neutral team?

Kinda like magpie team

[hazy pivot]

Magpie would be its own neutral team

with its own win condition

It would only show up in larger player count games > 10+ players

[valid delta]

Do how would IT be for a game?

[hazy pivot]

Yes we've already designed this role

[valid delta]

2 neutrals 2 ducks 2 magpie 4 geese?

Something like this?

or am i wrong

[hazy pivot]

I mean that would be up to the group.

[valid delta]

I dont know if three would be like lovers magpie-duck

[hazy pivot]

No

Magpie is neutral

[valid delta]

Yeah makes sense

They are like korean mafia

Or cloud be

[hazy pivot]

They are worse

They will make the game filled with anxiety

[valid delta]

Oh...

[valid delta]

Magpie have like green feathers and tail

They should be the green role

IT just looks the nicest

[worthy tangle]

I personally think it would be interesting if it was purple.

[valid delta]

Hmmm maybe

But the feathers are green so IT makes more sense to be green

[worthy tangle]

And pigeons are notably orange

I do think green is also a good choice tho

[ocean cypress]

Weird Deja vu happening

Herbert is going to say maybe it can be blue

And push vulture to another colour

And Shawn will say we can. I suppose we shall see

[granite wave]

oh noooo

@waxen galleon sorry for ping but scammer alert

thaanks

[waxen galleon]

No worries, was just banning them, someone beat me to it.

[ocean cypress]

[granite wave]

[gaunt thistle]

@valid delta will you block movement too? Because revived players can just wiggle all over their killer.

[valid delta]

Excuse me?

[gaunt thistle]

I assume you were suggesting to allow revived players to play but stay muted so they can't out their killer.

[valid delta]

Uhh no

[gaunt thistle]

But much like the ghosts of old medium, you just need to wiggle on your killer to expose them

[valid delta]

@lyric laurel said that

So im confused why are u talking to me

[gaunt thistle]

I quoted you. I don't see anybody else mentioning it.

I apologise if I've mistaken things

[gaunt thistle]

So here's an idea that popped into my head while thinking about Shawn's glorious outfit.

Am unlockable cosmetic that you get for killing a developer or somebody who has the outfit already.

[worthy tangle]

Oh, so like the Gastly Gibbus from TF2
That'd be cool

might want to change "Kill" to "Win a game against" so that the cosmetic doesn't turn the wearer into an Old-Style Gravy tho

[gaunt thistle]

I mean, technically this is putting a bounty on my own head more than others

[ocean iris]

%idea I think having some random secondary modifiers on top of roles would make things more interesting. Like "Forger: you can forge a second anonymous vote twice per game." or "Walking Dead: As a ghost you can become barely visible for a few seconds. (60 second cooldown)". Maybe even some role specific ones like "Vengance: If your lover is killed or voted out you seek revenge. (Becoming a neutral killing role that wins by being the last one standing.)"

[ocean iris]

Another one might be a duck only one, like double edge. If they're killed there's a chance the person killing them has a chance to be killed too, like a failed sheriff

[ebon shoal]

more color

[valid delta]

Did we had any magpie lore yet?

[barren zephyr]

I don't like to speculate and reveal roles.
But most people catch ducks in their roles.
I want you to make it possible to control the number of bullets or the number of assassins that can be assassinated in a turn.

[turbid dawn]

The Magpie guesses roles, similar to the assassin, but it doesn't die, I think it's kind of it's own neutral team

Magpie is yet to arrive, but I am sure when it does lore will be born

[sleek pewter]

Phillippine Flag for Looking for Group = )

[gaunt thistle]

The assassin gets two bullets. Three if they kill lovers.
They can only use one shot per meeting up to a maximum of twice.

Are you suggesting to allow players to change this via settings before the game?

[worldly sand]

I think they are

%idea The soon addition of role Star Ratings gave me an idea: What if there were a few pre-made role packs with various themes that auto selected/deselected various roles/settings. For example, a "Divination" role pack that focused purely on roles that gather info; Or maybe a "Bloodbath" role pack for when people want to revel in the chaos of constant murder, with roles that activate on death to stir the pot; hell maybe there could be one called "Nightwatch" where all the geese are on flashlight mode with duck roles that take advantage of that (and longer cooldowns).
While I could see that this could be unnecessary, I do think it could lead players to experimenting with the settings more if they can see how they could be used.

Thanks @worthy tangle for your feedback, we'll be sure to look at it

I would definitely help new player lobbies down the line too, if the difficulty of said presets also get starred. That way they can toy with some "suggested" varaints with some of the other roles.

[ashen horizon]

its still 2 bullets. It a consequence of the role of lovers not a consequence of the amount of bullets. The lore with lovers is, the other kills themselves because the other died

Proximity voice chat in public game

[sage carbon]

we have plans for that, but it'll be in there later

[pale reef]

A setting that turns off talking during voting would be interesting. Just to make the discussion phase more important for sharing information and making a choice given what you heard when voting.

[sage carbon]

i dont know how that would work chonky

what if i called a meeting and just said, hey chonky killed

and you dont have the opportunity to rebut

[pale reef]

I guess it was to keep discussion for discussion but it does make more sense to always be able to talk

[raw bone]

%idea Have each player select One role they Don't like in their profile, that they don't get assigned. Only one specific role, with a limit how often it can be changed. Because Many players don't like being something. It doesn't massively affect the dynamic, and lets people avoid the suck, as they see it. (Like I HATE Pigeon. it's fine if others want to play it, but I never do well with it, and it's a guaranteed downer for me)

[dense granite]

Thanks @raw bone for your feedback, we'll be sure to look at it

[worthy tangle]

GGD is a game about information. Knowing that one person is guaranteed not to get one role is huge. Imagine if I were to hate playing the Canadian, and because I hate playing canadian I told all my friends to turn it off in their games, even though they're fine with playing it. All of a sudden, this cool new feature comes out, allowing for me to not be the canadian while allowing my friends to be it instead.
The problem is, because all my friends now know I can't be Canadian, I'm an easy kill because they're guaranteed not to self-report it.
Especially experienced players would end up gravitating towards this mechanic as a meta-game role mechanic because knowing what people aren't can be a big step to learning what people are.

[granite wave]

%idea silencer can silence during meeting (in discussion time). One extra button similar to Assassin role to silence their target.

[dense granite]

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

[ashen horizon]

This would greatly over power the silencer role. The assassin has to play some guess work or risk assessment with assassination (such as: is the person claiming a role lying?). The silencer can silence someone in game that saw their kill but only if they are on the ball, so to speak

[ashen horizon]

Aside from @worthy tangle 's excellent argument, one must also be reminded of the nature of games. Games as a whole are designed to be fun for everyone involved as a whole, but, part of agreeing to play a game is understanding there is a risk of losing, and no one likes to lose. Imagine if I, because I dont like to lose, developed an algorithm that allowed me to always win...thats called cheating. And providing some sort of guarantee that any given player doesnt have to play as a role they dont like is, in a way, guaranteeing a win for them...which is cheating. Ultimately we, as people must play games in such a way that makes others want to play with us and invite us back to play again and part of that is accepting defeat and accepting roles we dont like. Thats called sportmanship

[raw bone]

I think you're reading Way more into my idea than I intended. It's not about winning to me, it's about having fun, and some roles aren't fun for some people. I'm simply advocating a way to mitigate that. If you think my choosing not to play Pigeon is akin to cheating, then we disagree.

[rich dagger]

Classic Sweaty might be up your alley

#💬︱general message

[ashen horizon]

Choosing not to play a role is much different than a guarantee you'll never be assigned the role. Choosing not to play a role would be making a lobby without that role in it,or asking the host to remove it. Cheating is indeed getting a guarantee you wont be assigned it, even if the role is turned on. Not to mention, how it would affect other players. If 10 players in a lobby "chose" not to play pigeon and 6 are ok with it, that means that those 6 would disproportionately be assigned the pigeon role and consequently, likely grow to hate the role too which would lead others to "choose" not to play pigeon until eventually the role is just removed completely

[worthy tangle]

I'm saying that it can very easily be abused by people better at the game. Imagine someone who always chooses dodo as their "Designated personal ban" choosing a different role and then using the fact that they always choose dodo to get ppl to make ppl think they aren't dodo (when they are).

Having something that directly effects what roles people get is going to be abused, weather you want it or not

[ashen horizon]

Some roles arent even really intended for enjoyment per se, the pigeon for example is an excellent way to prevent players from grouping. Grouping slows down the game making it boring as ducks are less likely to kill in front of people and a slow, boring game isnt enjoyable for anyone, no matter their role.

[mellow iris]

any role can be fun if you want it to be. don't like a role? then have fun while playing anyways. run around screaming that you are the pigeon until you get voted off. Play chicken with the boulder. Find some random person in the game and just chase them around the map

[ashen horizon]

Also, respectfully, what we "read into" yours, or anyone's ideas whether intended or not is merely providing a different perspective. Your idea, to you, may seem a wonderful thing, because it benefits you but it could have disastrous consequences for other players, for the game mechanics themselves, or even to you that you have failed yet to realize.

[raw bone]

Your answer doesn't feel very "respectful" It feels quite condescending.

[gaunt thistle]

Alright everyone, we understand. The suggestion has the community divided. Lets let the developers think about it now, see if it fits, see if they can work it into the game or don't want it in the game.

[lethal vigil]

proxy voice Spatial Audio xD not sure if that's a pain or not but it would be nice 😛

[hazy pivot]

Inter-game meta play is not something we are looking at. Saying you couldn't get a role twice in a row could work, so long as new players didn't join/leave. Otherwise locking a specific role away from specific players will absolutely make the game break down. I think it might become less fun.

[mellow iris]

When the game keeps giving me the same role multiple times I usually just say something mean about the gaggle staff but keep playing.......

[granite wave]

You specifically have to say something mean about Xizta not about the gaggle staff! Xizta is always to blame

[rich dagger]

Everything is Xizta's fault. This is canon.

[topaz mason]

Alternative to this would maybe be a scroll system similar to Town of Salem scrolls but have decreased and increased odds scroll?

[ashen horizon]

There is already a function that increases or decreases odds of a role showing up in game. Albeit rudimentary, the question mark/check mark feature. If you select the check mark, it has a higher chance of showing up in game than the role selected with a question mark.

[sharp niche]

You should be able to increase a specific persons voice. I don't know if this is a feature, but I don't believe it is

[turbid dawn]

It is a feature in the settings and player tab

[sharp niche]

hm, k

[hard oyster]

%role Tracker (Duck) Can put an explosive tracker on someone. At moments, It will let the duck see and hear what the avian is doing, for 10 secs (20 sec cooldown). Also, the duck can activate the explosion at any time, and the avian will explode. (the body will be reportable. or not, if you want that) The bomb wont explode if you know they're a duck though. The duck only has one tracker per round, and the bomb will "disinagrate" in meetings. The duck cannot vent. The duck cannot kill normally.

just throwing this out there, but if you ever need beta testers or anything, you should look no further than those servers that came from this game. (like the flock) 😉 Love you guys and love the game, I know there is such a huge community because of this game, thank you so much for all the work you do

[turbid dawn]

The flock? Is that a discord server?

[terse blade]

yes it's my server i made because of this game, the members have become like a family to me and most of them came from playing this game with them. there are a bunch of us with over 1000 hours in this game

[hazy pivot]

Wow, where have you been hiding?

[rich dagger]

duckscord is what we call this server, the flock is the name of the server i made

[night oar]

Would it be bad if the most voted person went to jail, without needing to get a tie with skips? Locksmith may get more relevancy that way

Most voted without being voted out, I mean

[hazy pivot]

This isn't a bad idea

But it will result in A LOT of jail

It will get boring fast

[night oar]

Actually, that's probably the same thing as locksmith opening door sabotage

It's hard to buff that role

[rare flame]

Call me dim, but I don't understand how this is different from how it already is.

[night oar]

Locksmith would get to open the jail way more frequently; but I changed my mind and its probably a bad idea

[rich dagger]

Currently, if you get the most votes and aren't tied, you are voted out and die

Effectively, that would eliminate the possibility of winning by voting others out, and COMPLETELY eliminate the Dodo's win condition

[night oar]

you misunderstood a bit, i think

most voted person would still die; what i meant was if, for example, someone got 6 votes vs. 10 skips, they'd go to jail

[rich dagger]

Ah, I see

[night oar]

but i'm not considering that anymore

[terse blade]

what if the locksmith could just open any door, not just to the jail, so ducks call door sabo, locksmith can unlock the doors

[worldly sand]

Could be an interesting idea,
Though I think that goes in line with the whole, "you can instantly prove you are the locksmith to clear yourself" thing,
but in the other hand, they did just introduce the adventurer which is kinds the same thing for enviromental sabos so who knows.

[rich dagger]

Currently, Locksmith Goose is the only Goose that can reasonably instantly verify itself if it spawns nearby the jail. Allowing Locksmith to be able to open sabotaged doors has been proposed in the past. I believe it is akin to a Goose role being able to see in the dark, in that it seriously would weaken the Duck sabotage

(you can always claim Locksmith if you happen to spawn near both the jail and a key though)

[terse blade]

what about something like they did with detective, "you can unlock one door per round"?

[rich dagger]

I like it, especially for the flavor, but even at just one door per round it might be too strong

[trim pumice]

I mean it does make sense locksmith has keys...but only for jails but what about the rest of the keys?

[terse blade]

true it might be, but also it makes the locksmith have to decide if they want to unlock their friend out of jail or perhaps save their own life when they are trapped in the cargo bay, sure they can do both but not in the same round - just an idea

might make locksmith a more used role

[trim pumice]

now that I think about it there is LOTS of role that is sometimes useless

[terse blade]

there is no such thing as a useless role

[simple temple]

*sometimes

[trim pumice]

yep that is what I said and i can show a few proofs

and why I hate them

[rare flame]

Thing about adventurer is that it's up to a duck to confirm that.

Are there any plans for GGD to be on additional platforms? I was just thinking today I would play a lot more if it was on PlayStation rather than mobile. (PC is not an option for me)

[terse blade]

i know i heard a few ppl say they would get this game if it was on nintendo switch too

[ashen horizon]

While the idea of opening the game up to additional platforms sounds wonderful on its face, there are huge implications that come with it. If the creators/managers were to make some sort of deal with Sony or Nintendo to have their game available on those gaming platforms it has a risk of diminishing their creative freedom because then Sony and Nintendo executives would then likely have rights to make changes to the game. Think of platforms as renting a house on someone else's land.

[mint plume]

alot of it is exclusivity, sony doesn't like to share

[rich dagger]

They discussed this recently on the developer update. The biggest issue with consoles is the extended time it takes for updates to get approved. If GGD were on consoles we might only get one update every few months, as PC and mobile users would be forced to wait for the console approval for every single update.

[mint plume]

^^^ that too --- they have updates in limbo just for mobile users due to those approvals

[ashen horizon]

Exactly, and thats like waiting for your landlord to fix the air conditioning after he promised to do it 6 months ago

[fervent crystal]

Ah yes, makes sense from that perspective

[rare flame]

It's not so much them having the rights to change the game, and more the restrictions on the kind of games available on their platforms. Either way, there's a lot of red tape that currently Apple is giving the Gaggle crew, so it'd be much worse the more big companies get involved.

[ashen horizon]

Restrictions can be a reason too, I agree. I was giving just one reason. What I'm illustrating, essentially is; the more voices/companies/executives/people involved that have a stake in the process the less the game would resemble its original concept. For example, the creators and original team involved in the game have one vision of the game but then you have executives/shareholders of a company that hosts the game on their platform with "We think it would be more palatable if it were like insert something here" Thats just how basic capitalism and business works. The Lord of The Rings series that is coming out is an excellent example of this as it bears little resemblance to the author's work because Amazon had a different vision but because Amazon has the rights...

[neon leaf]

[slender geyser]

can we get a report button in our players list? please and thank you?

[magic yarrow]

Someone in a public game is being toxic/abusive/swearing/racist

Unfortunately, we cannot control when bad actors enter a public game, but we do empower you by providing tools to help moderate these games. Conversations that go on in public games are still private, and we do not have access to the audio in any way. You can block or mute the relevant players in-game and use the in-game censoring filter. You can report the offending player as well, and these reports will be attached to their account, and may result in bans. If you are the lobby host, you can kick the offending players, and if you are not the host you can ask the host to kick them. Players who are kicked will not be able to rejoin the game unless permitted back in by the host. If the player in question is the host, and a sufficient number of players block their mics, they will be kicked from the game, and once again that will be reflected on their account.

[ocean cypress]

In public games there is a function to report. Private games you are inviting people and bringing into the lobby. Ultimately it's the hosts responsibility to run the lobby they wish to run and remove players that don't abide by their rules if you are posting your private room code to the public

[night oar]

improvement attempt: make it so that a person who gets at least 40% of total possible votes goes to jail
example: they'd go to jail for getting at least 4 votes (vs. 6 to 4 skips) when there are 10 people left; or for getting 6 votes (vs. 6 to 10 skips) when there are 16 people left

just an idea; not sure how good it actually is

the required amount would need to be rounded up or down in some cases

and when there's too few people, jail could just go back to being based on ties

[ashen horizon]

I think this would be more plausible if ties didn't happen that often, but they do. Part of the in-game excitement and tension is those close calls, the just barely getting away with one less vote or being voted out with that one vote that was needed.

[hazy pivot]

We're collapsing some game settings we see no one using

and making some more granular

Voting is getting a bit of a rework soon

How its displayed and what options sorround it

[cosmic fractal]

So i was thinking of making a rich duck role where he can pay someone to kill someone and that player has to or they die to a unknown killer 🤔 or a netural

Scrooge McDuck? xd

[trim pumice]

yep that guy

[rare flame]

What would the tell be? If you get just one free kill, there's no way to deduce that's what happened.

[cosmic fractal]

Maybe you get notified you were hired by someone to kill someone

So big risk reward

[granite wave]

According to the Korean Game Industry Promotion Act, excessive use of games can interfere with normal daily life. Be sure to display the warning message " 3 seconds every hour!"

[valid delta]

maybe let avenger kill when he sees celebrity goose died

[mint plume]

nah its suppose to work in proximity

[valid delta]

only geese know about it

and he gets notified

so it makes sense for him to kill.

[mint plume]

it doesn't involve a deduction kill though, just gives them a gun with no idea who to shoot

[valid delta]

thats bassicly vigilante 2.0

[rare flame]

No, vigilante can kill at any time. Avenger needs to see a kill happen before killing

[cosmic fractal]

So im open to ideas for the rich duck/netrual role besides just hiring someone to kill

[pearl herald]

you can change discord rpc it looking bad (add image and show usersize and if user in public server show server code)

[gaunt thistle]

It really doesn't. Who are they going to kill? The nearest innocent goose?

[pearl herald]

and please add public API for get user info

[cosmic fractal]

Btw heres my idea if i suggest it as netrual he needs to have 3 successful hires kill self kills dont count

[valid delta]

Huh?

[autumn adder]

I dont know if this is possible but I wanted to suggest it any way... It would be nice to maybe add like a closed caption option during meetings like some streaming platforms have for the hard of hearing people or even people who has to keep volume down when they play.

I know it might not be possible and you do have the message box option but sometimes the information gets typed too late.

[rare flame]

Having seen the closed captioning system for YouTube, I can tell you this isn't great when there just one voice talking, let alone 16 overlapping ones. That's still borderline sci-fi, as far as I know.

[mint plume]

you can submit ideas in any of the chats, the %command just helps them sort/catalog them. I've seen conversations from one channel turn into ideas in another, so I see no harm. really just helps the casual reader to have it organized

[mint plume]

every so many seconds it goes pitch dark for all birds including duck, only hall walls are visible as outlines -- npc clones randomly spawn, each player has 5 clones. If all your clones die, you win.. If you die all your clones die. If duck kills all players they win.

when lights come on you can choose to stand still or run

[rich dagger]

Sounds like a #🎮︱gamemode-ideas

I'm not submitting an idea, I was commenting on a previous comment

[rare flame]

Maybe it should be submitted as a game design, even if it departs somewhat from current models. It's Red Light Green Light with clones.

[gaunt thistle]

So basically the ducks need to deduce who is a clone before killing or lose?

[rare flame]

Or just slice through all the imitations.

[fleet flame]

they would randomly walk around and the geese would have to do their tasks and not reveal themselves they wouldn't be able to vote out the duck(s) and would only win through tasks

we have alot of streamers who play this and have to specify they are streamer lobby so how about a lfg-streamer channel?

nothing too important but just makes that little bit easier for streamers to host and find streamer lobbies

some streamers already mention they are streaming when they share their code in lfg channels

[ocean cypress]

While good intentions, I'm afraid I wouldn't want to give unwanted attention to streamers #829421328502095943 and posting in lfg channels is the way to go

[spice bane]

i get your point however posting in the streamer lfg is streamer choice if they dont want the attention then they dont post there and its not really to advertise their stream its just an idea for an easier way to let people know when u join that its streamer only

well not streamer only but streamer lobby

[mild berry]

I kind of see Malphor's point. Not all people would be comfortable with being in a stream or recording without their knowledge. At the very least, it might be a good idea to ask that streamers to let others know they're streaming when they set up a lobby or join a lobby.

Task Idea based upon the Goose walked up to a lemonade stand.

This task makes you go to a Lemonade stand multiple times, each time you interact with the vendor and have a small conversation and then you have a timer until you return, maybe 30 seconds.. in which the melody from the song starts. Maybe 3 times total.

It would rely on GGD's ability to obtain the song or not for this.

[dense granite]

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

and that would all depend on tracking down who owns the rights to the song, finding out how much they want for it to be used, and it would be a pretty big pain in the ass tbh

What about some short of game nights? When Moderators or Gaggle Crew feels like, they could make a lobby with some players from Duckscord and play together some games - GGD, Gartic or smth like that. People could get to know members of Gaggle crew more and gaggle crew could on other hand meet some new people and bond more with the community c: U could also make a new secret Achievement like "U played with Duck Ripper - Play one game with Herbert". Or something like that c: I know Gaggle Crew is often busy with Developing and stuff but when they are free they could host something like that :>

[dense granite]

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

I mean, I could see it if they chose to play on a unique account while using a voice changer and/or different names while they aren't streaming. Jumping into both public lobbies, those listed in lfg, or random streamer's rooms.

[waxen drum]

I think we should add a goose or duck that has more than tree action

[gleaming igloo]

Fishing pulls up dead goose photos, not just yours

When dead you should be able to see who killed who, and if it was with say the boulder that too, all it needs is there duck image on who they killed and purhaps a boulder or draw bridge icon or trap door

Just more content when you die in general

[gleaming igloo]

Perhaps show color votes to ghosts only option also?

[hasty oar]

How about latest dead? But that idea is smart

[ember canyon]

What do you think about use some kind of sign like a red X or something to indicate the spots "occupied" by spectator geese? In case you tried to join a streamer lobby for example or just for visual indication.

[granite wave]

voice chat by aprox 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.
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.

In a private lobby, being kicked by the host bans the user from returning to that lobby. They can return only if the host clicks "pardon kicked players"

[spice bane]

there is a kick option as host but you know what i just thought might be good an "avoid player" button so if you try to join a lobby and someone you have "avoided" is in the lobby a warning will pop up saying "there is a player in this lobby you have selected to avoid are you sure you want to join?"

%idea it might also be fun, if/when this new gated/tier level lobby gets implemented, to have new players sort of choose their "side" when making their account. They could be the Duck side or Goose or Neutral and their tier level promotion names corresponds to the life cycle of the side they chose. It obviously wouldnt effect the roles they get in game...just a fun gimic

[dense granite]

Thanks @ashen horizon for your feedback, we'll be sure to look at it

[winter skiff]

i know, but its not a block button... nor does it work anything like one... you don't always want to ban a player, or the owner of the lobby doesn't. someone was trolling in the chat of a private match i was in, i think he was drunk, so i just wanted to block him, preferably not permanently so that i could give him another chance when he isn't drunk, he was just irritating me and ruining the game for me, so i just wanted to not be able to see his messages for a little while, but i couldn't. plus i wasnt the owner of the lobby so i couldn't kick him if i wanted to (which i didn't).

[mellow iris]

drop his volume to 0

[ashen horizon]

(This is not meant to be condescending, just my perspective) So in law we have the burden of proof, meaning it is the burden of the accuser to prove the accused is guilty of illegal action. For these cases in the game I would say to any reasonable person, especially one playing in a private lobby in which they are not host, the burden of control is on you, meaning if you don't like the people/a person you are playing with it is not up to the host nor the platform to step in, its up to you to use what means is reasonable and available to you and that means may be leaving the game and seeking another game. It is not up to Gaggle to micro manage player interactions, they are not parents. As long as no one is forcing you against your will to remain in the private lobby, there is nothing else that can be reasonably required or expected of Gaggle to insure a positive interaction between all players within a PRIVATE lobby. Think of how you would handle this interaction IRL. If this person was drunk and rude at a gathering in a private space with friends you wouldnt get duct tape, tape their mouth shut, call the cops and ask them to allow you to do this again and provide you with more duct tape in case it happens again, you would simply leave that space.

I feel like Ninja is already pretty well-balanced, this might work for a new Duck role though. Single kills only, when they kill a bird they drop a smoke bomb obscuring vision for half the size of the Technician circle. Immediately upon killing they turn invisible for maybe 5-10 seconds, to be balanced. If too strong, could possibly be just "mostly" invisible and appear blurred or leave footprints.

[frank night]

#876961085662560267, however any roles that will bring a player back or shield then from dying is not going to be added to classic plus, read the doc pinned in #🐣︱classic-role-ideas

[hazy pivot]

This role IMHO makes it less of a social deception game and more of a nonsensical kill or be killed game.

[hollow wasp]

So I am currently in a game and have talked to multiple people about this, and they said that it was a pretty good idea, so why not bring it up! So on the Jungle Temple map, there is the task where you find the map and then move the stones to find the gold coin. What if, when you find that gold coin, you get to keep it? It isn't a guaranteed task every round, so a high accumulation wouldn't be possible unless it is the only map you play. However, you could also make what you find interchangeable. it could be a silver coin or even a crafting item

[sage carbon]

it's nearly a guaranteed task every round

i guess we'd be worried about people just farming the game at an accelerated rate

[gentle sluice]

And they would ….

[hollow wasp]

That would definitely be a fear. I mean, it could just be a hit-or-miss thing. Sometimes you get it, sometimes you don't.

[spice bane]

if in spectator mode when game ends you spawn into lobby still in spectator mode (even if its just for private rooms)

[mellow iris]

even with it being hit or miss, all it would take it a dedicated group to just play games over and over and exploit that for more and more gold coins. everyone does that task if they have it, then they vote the duck out for a fast game, etc

[hollow wasp]

valid point. I just figured it was worth a shot

[mellow iris]

I mean, it would be a neat idea if people could be trusted not to just farm it XD

[hollow wasp]

Lol exactly!

[cerulean current]

What if we made the circumstances way more exotic. One, only the gravy goose gets this benefit. Two, only private lobbies have this setting to be turned on. And maybe even after the duck kills the gravy maybe they still get to keep the gold coin. Still farmable, but, getting a dedicated group to this would be difficult.

[mellow iris]

I don't think it would be worth the effort to implement tbh, and buying gold is how the game is funded

[cerulean current]

Fair enough.

[gaunt thistle]

If we're going this route, I'd advocate birdwatcher over gravy. Nobody likes birdwatcher but me, it seems...

Maybe such a mechanic would incentivise more use.

[mellow iris]

I like birdwatcher, it's a great way to secretly spy on people

[gaunt thistle]

Once seen games where birdwatcher has witnessed a triple kill and vent, and got all three ducks out with a single use of its power... People just don't know how useful the role is

[mellow iris]

But that's really the thing with any role people claim is "useless". Just because they can't find a use for it they assume no one else can

[gaunt thistle]

Birdwatcher gives you so much information. Just knowing where certain people were at what time can be extremely helpful.
Good assassin bait too, watch somebody murder through a wall, call them out in a meeting as having devil horns.

[mellow iris]

but I also put Sheriff very low on my list of useful roles

75% of the time you just wind up with 2 dead geese and no useful information

[midnight shadow]

Saw the #816356997564727367 and I thought there were new costumes.
So, I went into the game now and there weren't new costumes...

[granite wave]

Add a snipe. Unlike dodo birds that win when released by vote, they win when killed by ducks or sheriffs in addition to how to die by voting.

%suggestion hello, i think it would be an idea to make the bodyguard a neutral role that always wins together with their target, and also that the bodyguard is able to spawn without a hitman (but if hitman spawn then bodyguard will guarantee and target same target), but remove ability to target dodo, it is very annoying to play with bodyguard who has falcon as target because he is supposed to win with geese but instead helps falcon win, if you change bodyguard to neutral then you really help your target

[dense granite]

[granite wave]

I heards Devs already work on something like that

[ebon shoal]

where?

oh the plush ._.

[left flame]

%suggestion what if every killing role or atleast some such as demo. Get a way to check vents for hiding pigeons or mechanics.
Example mallard manor demo can drop a bomb in let say leaf pile and if soemeone hides in there they will get the bomb and be forced out. or on goose chapel drop one in the vent and if someones in there same thing. OR make the demo able to booby trap vents with his bomb this will increase his usefulness and just not make him a deadbeat if he ends up alone vs a venting role and falcon or something. In alot of games i have been in i seen mechanic and pigeon just camp vents afking and this would be a great way to stop such behaviour

[dense granite]

Thanks @left flame for your feedback, we'll be sure to look at it

[ashen horizon]

A mechanic can only "camp" for so long before they'd receive a warning to complete their tasks before they get kicked from game. I don't think it's a horrible idea to be able to booby trap vents with some limitation, however, granting a duck the ability to check vents would overpower it quite a bit. If you're afraid of getting caught I suggest killing away from areas that have vents.
The spy duck has the ability to check roles so if you identify who the mechanic or pigeon is you can either kill them or manipulate the room into voting them out. I have quite a bit of GGD experience and I can't say I've have the same problem, though that doesn't mean it doesn't happen. I also there's a reason you chose the leaf pile as an example as it is where the light sabotage is in mallard manor. I would suggest leaving that sabotage to be unlocked by a ghost later in game or waiting until you're somewhat certain you've killed the snoop or pigeon or simply create a game as a host that excludes those roles.

[ebon axle]

What if we had some more goose roles that could kill and maybe even bots that you could put in so that if you don’t have enough players you could add bot to be able to play

[ashen horizon]

Vigilante, sheriff and avenger are geese that can kill, any more and it would simply be chaos. Bots can't sus

[left flame]

ofc ther would be a limit to how many vents he can bobby trap

[ashen horizon]

It difficult to justify creating a new role or adding a function in a preexisting role that can simply be fixed by leaving a role, such as the mechanic, out.

[granite wave]

Bots may not be able to sus but what if they had an area effect that dictated that if they see a character standing in a certain area for too long (for example, other bots doing tasks near a sabo or you doing tasks near a sabo) they would add a point to a "sus meter".

And once it reaches a certain point they either call the button or vote for you.

And they could be programmed with another area effect that determines how far they can see so if they see you or another bot kill they call button immediately. And maybe a hilarious dialogue about seeing someone explode.

[ashen horizon]

That's a bit of a cheat.

[mellow iris]

I'm not much of a programmer, but programming bots to simulate tasks getting done, and monitor how long someone is standing in one spot, seems like it would be a giant PITA. Not to mention people like me who would just follow the bot around and stand still just to mess with the game

[ashen horizon]

Yeah it's basically cheating

[hazy pivot]

We would do it differently with different play styles based off recorded gameplay from actual players. We could easily emulate a players behavior but it would be not a lot of fun to play against.

Fowl Play will solve a lot of issues.

[granite wave]

ORRRRR WHAT IF--- hear me out --- each bot had its own pre-programmed selection of sus checks in a list that it went down every time it stops or passes a player or bot. At the beginning of every round the bot's list will change to a different randomly selected numbered list. Voting rounds go as though the bots have all communicated with each other. Based on their highest sus they vote automatically at meetings, which could be a very interesting game mechanic. Player voting and discussion continues as usual.

The list could potentially be timed so the bot waits a couple seconds between each sus check.

[sage carbon]

im not fundamentally opposed to the idea of bots

but at its core right now, ggd is a social game

i dont know that replacing the social aspect of social deduction is necessarily a good idea

[granite wave]

True, and it would be pretty painstakingly difficult to program such things

[ashen horizon]

Well the reason im calling it cheating is this; like you've said, GGD is a social game, that means humans. If you have a bot that uniformly checks for certain behavior to match a certain criteria that eliminates human error which is part of a win or lose scenario. You'd be taking the bot you play against in PC chess and making it work for you. You'd also perhaps have people that would merely take the bots suspicions as gospel and go with that every time. Also, part of why i like GGD is because im playing with real humans and not computer generated artificial players like i would in other games. And this might sound dramatic but humanity is a giant part of GGD, it wouldnt be GGD with bots, it would be..i dont know..something else i have no desire to play. Also, bots lack behavioral and personality diversity that humans have.

[granite wave]

hello, sorry for late reply but lovers win as lovers win, not as falcon with bodyguard, and bodyguard would still be able to win if he dies, so its very different

But you can't see if someone is in a closet or vent, so the danger is far less there than hiding in the mists (where a pigeon or mimic could out you).

[granite wave]

a mechanic or pigeon can see you going into them if they are in it before you

[rare flame]

There's still a much lower chance of one of them already being in the hiding spot than in the jungle map. Plus, the vents are a quick way to get around the map while the hidden passages are just a connecting way. The maps aren't balanced the same way.

[granite wave]

passageways are also quick ways of getting around the map, i think you try to justify it too much because many people like to not vent in maps because mechanic and pigeon can always catch you even if you don't know

i died many times because somebody caught me

[mellow iris]

Also, with the vents and/or cupboards. It is a lot easier to just hide in said place pop out and kill then poof right back into the vent without being seen by anyone.

[granite wave]

but you can also do this in the smoke

[sage carbon]

the risk reward of being inside the forbidden passageways and the venting is not the same

both for the ninja, or even for the pigeon or mechanic (or mimic in the case of JT)
