[stray venture]

cant send photo here... but
3 years ago The Great Old One, the Octopus mask that costs 50k dust was 100 gold. Now we have to open at least 30x100 Mega Claw for 50k dust. 100gold vs 3000 gold. ofc you get so much thing while u r grinding 50k dust but why should I end up spending money on things I’ll never use, when what I actually want to use is something else entirely?

[sick verge]

The methods to collect cosmetics and cosmetics themselves have always been subject to change. We will never tell you how to spend your money. The message above explains why the way to collect cosmetics had to change. Will post again below.

The old method of collecting cosmetics simply was not sustainable despite our best efforts

[thick finch]

Info

"I don't like/approve of the new monetization or how you get cosmetics"

Thank you for your feedback. We understand some players are unhappy with the new cosmetic system.

The recent changes aim to achieve three main goals:
1) Ease for Free-to-Play Players: We want free-to-play players to obtain items more quickly, which the new system supports.
2) Cosmetic Differentiation: There should be a clearer distinction between free-to-play and paid players in terms of cosmetics.
3) Ad-Free Experience: Keeping the game 100% free and ad-free remains a priority.

We acknowledge the feedback and concerns raised:
Cosmetics: Some players are unhappy with the new way to obtain cosmetics. We based our decisions on feedback and engagement data, and we’re not done improving these systems.
Incentive for Older Players: Some older free-to-play players feel less incentive to play. While we strive to balance free content and monetization, we need to maintain sustainability.
Gameplay Rewards: Rewarding certain gameplay styles has led to issues like botting and griefing. We are exploring ways to incentivize proper gameplay without negatively impacting the experience.
Value of Free-to-Play: The perception of the game being free-to-play is mixed. While our goal was to reach as many players as possible, we recognize the differing views and will consider this in future decisions.

We are continually making improvements and appreciate your patience as we roll out updates to support Goose Goose Duck.

which cosmetics is free? and ads is a way to earn money for the game and for players to havé things for free, its annoying but usually u can pay for a no ad version like in netflix. also a membership could also cover a certain amount. A lot of player are ready to put some money to have a better game expérience, but if its to earn dust or duplicate items, and to havé something we dont want... how much it cost to get what we want? a few thousands? a console game is 90$ one time fee and a lot of people cant afford that in 2026. Its not going so well in the economy for all of us.. I mean there are probably other ways to explore how to stay substainable as a game.

[sick verge]

I can always appreciate the passion behind feedback. We hear you!
There are pros and cons to all forms of monetization, that is why we say we are never done continuing to implement and make changes to systems. No free to play game has mastered monetization. The goal of Free to Play is to make the game as accessible to as many players as possible, especially during the hard times that were happening when the game first released (pandemic), our goal has always been to keep players connected.

We once tried the ad route a while ago, overwhelmingly received negatively. While some would be willing to pay an extra fee to remove the ads, majority would not and ads would get in the way of gameplay and people having fun. Playing is more fun than ads. Again pros and cons, and our team is always taking a look and talking internally.
Adjusting monetization method also means that we have to remain fair to the community both that support through premium methods and those that support through F2P. For example the Flight Pass, while players can unlock cosmetics just by playing, premium players can unlock the premium rewards of the flight. Then collecting silver by just playing to work towards the dust shop.

Epic Games (Fortnite) just laid off 1000 employees While its great games can be free to play with optional cosmetics, the game at the end of the day needs to be sustainable and we're no where near the size of that team.

[neat ore]

I really like this game, as I liked pokémon go at first, but when they started to charge for distance pass and dont give them for free once a week I lost interest and all m'y friends also... the idea was good at the beginning to give access to rural places and bad wheater places or pandemic restrictions..

they should keep the first idea in mind

[sick verge]

We really like this game too and want to keep making it the best we can 🙂
We're always thinking about making games fun and accessible, but at the same time unfortunately we need to introduce ways to keep the servers running

and we do take all the constructive criticism seriously and listen to everything. That's why we have these channels where the team can hear feedback directly

[wraith imp]

I just wonder about all the money being left on the table by middle range players. I hope one day there is a way to capture that market and achieve all your company goals.

[sick verge]

Something we're always thinking about and taking into consideration

[stray venture]

have been a roleplay player since 2010. I have experience in many roleplay games and servers. In GTA 5 FiveM, I have over 3000 hours of playtime. In games like ToS and Among Us etc, I have more than 4000 hours. This is honestly the most fun game I have ever seen. The missions and game dynamics are excellent. I do have some criticisms regarding the costumes, but for a free-to-play game to survive, paid cosmetics are necessary. Thanks to Thor’s responses to my criticisms, I now understand this much better.

I want to address the developers: please never stop improving this game and continue making it even better. As someone with experience in many games, I also have a suggestion. If the balance between monetization and the free-to-play experience is not handled well, many games end up fading away. Right now, you are very close to achieving that balance. Please keep it up. Thank you to the game designers, developers, and the entire team for your hard work.

[sick verge]

@forest marten I appreciate you being part of the conversation, I believe we covered that operations can be quite expensive and that in order to keep going, the game needs a sustainable system in place.
Everyone is allowed to have an opinion and not everyone is going to like or agree with everything but we have these spaces to voice constructive feedback and constructive criticism and to have these conversations with the community. I think we've covered this topic quite well and its always going to be an ongoing conversation when it comes to monetization and sustainability.

[devout mica]

i like the game but theres only claw machines that dont give 100% the items i want. it were better when you add like something where you get 100% something. not something like dust that needs a long time to get

[foggy mirage]

Item shop with higher prices?

[devout mica]

if there give 100% items yes

[latent arrow]

Super high praise! We will pass this along to the rest of the team 🙂

@stray venture

[stray venture]

Shawn, i already dump 300$ to get what i want from dust shop for 50k dust and waiting it to come to the dustshop for 2 weeks now hahahaha

[devout mica]

good luck getting it

[grave dune]

.

[stray venture]

3rd week ... i really have no luck

why does dust shop rotation exist ? just put all the items in and be done with it. why are we waiting for the right time to spend dust?

[sick verge]

Which item are you looking for? If it was part of a limited time event/flight pass/claw machine it likely is not going to be in a dust shop rotation (though not impossible)

[sick verge]

Rotations allow more offerings, if everything that is eligible in the dust shop was displayed all once at once it was quite overwhelming. New items added to the dust shop would also go unnoticed

[stray venture]

not a event/flight pass or claw machine item 5 weeks ago it stays on dust shop for 2 weeks but i didnt have enough dust that time

im scared to tell you the item name cuz if you dont like me it wont come for 3 more weeks 😂😂😂

just kidding btw 😂

[sick verge]

... I would never... do such a thing (I am also kidding btw)
I just let the system do its thing

But now if you have enough dust, you'll be ready for it the next time its available in the rotation

[stray venture]

unfortunately my only option is to wait for that day with sadness 😔😔😔

[steep briar]

i just bought one of the special offers and it says I should claim the purchase in the game but i can‘t see it.

How should I do？ thanks for someone can help me

[sick verge]

If you had the app open you might need to close and reopen

#community-solutions is a better space for troubleshooting

[steep briar]

I have done that

And the game account I used is the same as I used for purchase

[sick verge]

Are the items already added to your account? I would try relaunching the application after a little bit of time and check

If still not there you may need to reach out to the support team to take a look

[steep briar]

The purchase was shown as successful on the website, but it still hasn't appeared in the game.

OK I will connect the team

Thank you for your help！

[cloud scroll]

Make sure to check the in game's Goose Shop for any "offer ready to claim".

[little cypress]

Me and my friends played Goose Goose Duck and we all had a great time. We tried out different roles, 2 different maps, and the prox chat is awesome. I love the fact that you can just play non stop, if I had to say one thing I didn’t like, it was when you pick a new map it forces you to a new hub and some players might get kicked out. It’s not a huge problem so much as it’s just a little inconvenient. Overall I love the gameplay and the mechanics along with the cool customization you can have with your Goose

[stray venture]

Dear game administrators,

Due to the “Goosechapel” map on the Turkey server, other great maps unfortunately do not receive enough attention. If you check the rooms created on the Turkey server, you will notice that there are almost no rooms using maps other than Goosechapel %90. For this reason, temporarily removing the Goosechapel map from the Turkey server in order to increase map variety would be very beneficial for the diversity of the game.

[sick verge]

I don't think removing content from players is the right approach. If players in Turkey prefer Goosechapel, why remove it?
If you'd like to play on another map may I recommend hosting a lobby. #lfg-türkçe is a great place to find people to play with as well
Public lobbies with chat translations is also a good option

[stray venture]

translation lobbies ate reeeeealy good ngl. buy turkish lobbies are stuck at gooschapel.

[sick verge]

and thats ok, let people enjoy playing what they enjoy

Robbing them of that is a disservice to them

[civic elbow]

Hewwo. I gotta say I'm not that avid player cause I'm mostly friendless (and playing with people I don't know is kinda hard for me), but I watch a lot of GGD from others, Max specially, and I just wanted to give the feedback about the art in general

Every single map is absolutely beautiful, both he themes, but also just the whole "decorations" and concept as a whole, I think I never saw a game with such variety of maps and still maintaining immersion with each map, like selecting a map is more than just "where A and B is" but just changes the whole vibe of the game and because the geese can be anything with the (also amazing) clothing, it even opens space for RP, with the roles changing by map too.
The cartoon style of this game is amazing, detailed enough to be unique and it open space for more cosmetics, ideas and maps, but also simple enough it's not overwhelming making the gameplay of the game shine more, please keep up

Also I wanna suggest a map in the middle of the sea too just because I'm a pirate in my heart ;p (like pirate ships connected)

Also besides that
Neutral roles, best thing I ever did with again every single one being unique. Love this game

[vivid terrace]

Ggd is such an amazing game

My desk mate and I cant get enough of ggd and doesn’t even do work anymore heh

[sick verge]

Thank you so much! I really appreciate that
I will be sure to pass that along to the art team because I agree they absolutely knock it out of the park every time and put so much attention into everything.
Mithzan is good peeps I always enjoy playing games with him

[vivid terrace]

I also am obsessed with these amazing emojis

[crimson notch]

[digital dust]

Since the Event Cosmetics system has been reworked, will more collections be added to the Dust Shop in the future?
Right now, the Dust Shop seems to keep rotating through the same older collections. It feels like a good time to start adding some newer items as well.
Another idea would be to hold a voting event: on a fixed day each month, you could bring back a limited-time selection of collections chosen by player vote.

[sick verge]

Some cosmetics may make a return in some way or another, others will not.

[rotund oak]

Love the new roles. Lucid Dreamer sounds soooo OP. Can't wait to try them in game

[wooden vigil]

will you consider a model that can be played by a single player in the future?

[sick verge]

Not saying never but overall with GGD the focus has been on social gaming

[wraith imp]

Is there a specific reason Lost Duckling can’t be paired with mimic? I think the pair could bring some hilarious moments to lobbies.

[ionic arch]

If both the mimic and lost duckling spawn together there would be no way for the other ducks to know this

[dry wind]

[sharp marlin]

i like how this game is turning out so far its really good tho some things do feel they need to be polished other than that i love how well this game is turning out :3
tho if i had 1 suggestion it would be to add sight adjustments on the cuckoo and the raven cuz so far they are the only roles i noticed that dont have sight adjustments and sometimes i would mess up with seeing things at infinite vision and outs me too often
other than that the game is turning out awesome keep it up fellas :3

[plucky sierra]

I think Carrier/Parasite are on the weaker side even with +1 duck and -1 goose, in 1 round you can figure out who is the Parasite, because no one saw you. Even if a duck says yes, at the end, just that player is an alibi and something like "Go to ___ So I can see you" falls apart. For me, it could be just public to everyone who is the Parasite on meetings, but it cant be voted out, so players would need to try to figure out who is the Carrier or kill the parasite directly. I don't like it exposing a body, but its fine, would be fun someone talking and then it changes the voice suddenly.

For lucid dreamer, I think it shouldn't be able to see bodies, just it confirming everyone's placement its already too powerful (if you lie, you can easily be caught).

Witch Doctor is fine, I like it.

Cuckoo its more on the weaker side, but it gets stronger as the match goes on, and its fine too. Just its presence its a menace, because you need to walk through all the map, and I love it, forcing players to stay away from each other, leaving the boring game of gooses walking together all the time

Lost Duckling... I dont know, I like having a bad option as a duck, but I dont think its fun at all. Ducks kill less, the game gets more slow, the killing goose role could be a fellow duck and its hard to confirm... I think it should have some kind of reward to know when the ducks find each other, something like "If you vote someone, you know if its a friend or not", for all ducks, the Lost Duckling is trying to find "his parents" and the other way around. So then you get his name red, but should you trust if its your friend? Youll need to confirm next meeting. Then after that the Lost Duckling could get... a lower cooldown? Idk, but just that mechanic would be a more fun role to interact with for both sides.

[ionic arch]

It's probably a swingy role rather than just a weak one, depending on the players it either becomes weak or pretty strong. It can make the ducks win majority if there are 3 ducks and 8 players in total (4v4) by skipping, so maybe instead just make the parasite appear dead in meetings and don't allow them to vote. Also that does sound fun, maybe make it so the parasite kills the player and it needs to spit out the body before it can kill players (if it even can kill players in someone's body)

I actually have two takes for the lucid dreamer, either make them get slower the more they walk or make them see bodies as if they were a living player, so they can still get info but the bodies are hidden

Yes, a nice role that can fake bw, its target getting switched when a meeting is called should also be added to sk

I agree on that too, personally I just dont like how they can lose if they get seen just once leaving from an egg but they do have a good purpose for the game

I currently dont mind Lost Duckling that much but I do agree that it needs something else

Still, I love how gaggle studios spoiled us with a massive amount of (mostly) universal roles in one update. Can't wait to try them all properly!

[grizzled junco]

I want to say, i am realy grateful for your game its fun, mysterious, adventurous, and i found realy good friends ty to you, definitely one of the best co-op games is GGD! the energy is unparallel in this game 🔥 🪿 🫶

[cursive siren]

There should be a way to block/report players after they leave the lobby. They don't always pop up in the recent tab and many have experienced toxic/abusive players that then leave the lobby before you can block or pre-mute them. They then rejoin mid game to continue to harass players.

[sharp marlin]

for me i think the block list needs to be more than 15 people
way too many have been ruining some lobbies and not all of them can be blocked from rejoining just to cause more problems

[wraith imp]

It would be fun to see some sort of interaction between raven and lucid dreamer on the map during meetings.

[plucky ibex]

100%

I would love to just be able to chill with raven in meetings

[wraith imp]

I mean, you can chill. That’s it though. Maybe the ability for the raven to take out the lucid dreamer? I also found out last night if the raven calls a body, says where it is, but then goes hunting during the meeting the lucid dreamer can easily tell who the raven is as they are no longer where the body was.

[languid rock]

i don't understand how the lucid dreamer works sometimes whenver i get that role TwT

[sick verge]

The lucid dreamer can use its ability during the voting phase of a meeting

[hollow scroll]

I understand the whole process for the claw and coins and dust. But why is it that for the past 2wks I’ve been using the silver coins I’ve earned and just keep getting dust or something I’ve already gotten (which turns to more dust) there’s clearly still soooo many things I haven’t gotten that it could randomly pick. It starts to feel like it’s rigged. Especially when I have enough silver coins to go 6-7 times and get nothing but dust. Just wondering at this point why even have a claw? Why not just have a store to convert the silver coins to dust. Leave the claw for gold since that’s really what it seems like you want.

So I have read this before which is why I mentioned I understand what you are saying however my main concern is that the claw at this point seems like a sham for the silver coins.

If there is still so many items left to randomly get (the silver coin options), why do I keep getting dust? It seems like those items are there for show.

[sick verge]

The chances of getting dust on the silver machines is high (70% on the mini, 60% on the small claws). Odds have always been displayed on the window of each machine

[faint pagoda]

So basically an astral but only use during meetings

[ivory herald]

The lucid dreamer can also do tasks during a meeting, so if somebody who is quick at tasks gets the role, it may end poorly for the ducks
But personally I like to use it as a scout, the information you can get from locations is, at least in my opinion, the strongest info a goose has

[faint pagoda]

W I just got back into the game after among us so its cool

[minor quiver]

I would like to inquire, do you have any plans to allow for the repetition of the number of professions in the custom board? For instance, most professions could be set to exist repeatedly, with the number of occurrences being customizable, such as limiting the maximum number of occurrences of a profession in a single game to X.
I believe that this will greatly enhance the playability of the game, as currently, except for the big white goose and duck, all other characters can only exist in a maximum of one. I think this modification will make the game very fun, and it's not very complicated. At the same time, due to customization, it just adds new gameplay elements, and players can manually set it up to maintain the previous gameplay.

[sinful abyss]

when raven morphs into the astral form they shouldnt be effected by lights out as i had to turn thewm on just so i could see

[sick verge]

Do we have plans for it? Not currently. Have we thought about it? Absolutely.
Though it would likely have to be its own gamemode separated from classic/draft.
It's never a question of how "complicated" it would be to implement, our team is really good
More of a question of "what does it bring to the game? is it a priority at this time? does it take anything away? will many enjoy this?, etc. etc." so not saying it will happen, also not saying it will never happen but its something we have considered.
Have ideas of what you might want to see in the future? #💡︱general-ideas #🗺︱map-ideas #🎮︱gamemode-ideas

When are we going to change the parasites vote? It ruins the game. They shouldn’t have a vote at all.

[ionic arch]

Wouldnt be wise to do, if you count one less vote from the total # of alive players then it outs theres a parasite in the game

Dont get me wrong tho, the vote does make the role unbalanced

[warm salmon]

Who cares if we know there’s a parasite. 🤷🏼‍♀️

[ionic arch]

You can catch it easily by seeing at the beggining who is missing

They have the carrier as an alibi but thats it

[wraith imp]

The voting for parasite/carrier is definitely unbalanced.

[ionic arch]

I was thinking maybe don't allow the carrier and parasite vote the same player / skip at the same time

[wraith imp]

I don’t see a need for them to have to skip

It’s the extra skips that make things difficult and unfair imo. Especially when you have a pelican or a falcon.

[ionic arch]

The extra vote on itself is bad regardless if it's forced to skip or not. It's one extra vote for ducks

[wraith imp]

Agreed

It is a very fun role though

[ionic arch]

The problem I see w it besides the balancing is that the carrier just doesnt experience the same fun the parasite does

But thats subjective, I think there are players that like it

[visual wave]

lost duckling is another one of those roles that are just __ but worse

[native forum]

What if Demolitionist and Sin Eater become mutual exclusive?
Demolitionist gameplay encourages players to spread out due to the threat of bombs, while Sin Eater relies heavily on players grouping together to be effective. Because of this, when both roles are in the same match, Sin Eater often becomes significantly harder to play.

I feel that the eagle is quite weak, finding it difficult to fully withstand the ray bombardment. Moreover, once the eagle enters the stage, it still has to locate all the people, while the duck can even turn off the lights. How about removing the time limit for the eagle stage? After all, others might just pass by and kill the eagle, making it easier for the eagle to win

[serene scaffold]

Mummy honestly needs to be buffed more. Thralls can't kill by normal means is unique, but brutal. Mummy is countered by hard grouping. I think the mummy having some kind of more powerful lights sabotage would go a long way. Also, it feels insanely underpowered compared to the other trick or treat roles which have distinct methods of flying under the radar.

[magic walrus]

I spent 30 gold coins and received 24 dust. Is that a glitch?

[sick verge]

In the medium claw? You would have either received dust or a cosmetic with additional dust.
If you received a duplicate you receive dust

[magic walrus]

I only received 24 dust for getting a duplicate item

[sick verge]

You would have received 24 dust for the duplicate uncommon cosmetic and the bonus depicted under the card

[magic walrus]

That is why I wont ever spend any more money on this game. What can 25 dust do? It should convert much higher.

[sick verge]

25 Dust + Bonus Dust (e.g. above 25 + 161 = 186 dust)
Dust can be collected and spent in the dust shop. Duplicate conversion is based on the cosmetic tier (in this case uncommon).
Don't forget every 10 plays on the medium/big/mega claw grants a guarantee pull.

I really wish that for the limited time claws, for example the royal faire claw that's active right now. It would only let you win the limited items. I don't want to spend 100 gold coins for the chance to win items I can get any other time. To me it defeats the point of the "limited time" aspect of the claw! I tried once and got a non limited time item, i felt pretty disappointed.. Hoping in the future this can please be taken into consideration

[zenith drum]

【Due to the use of machine translation, I cannot guarantee that the meaning of the words will be completely correct. If there is any misunderstanding, I apologize in advance.】
I'm thinking about whether it's reasonable for people with superpowers (ducks) to stand for a long time (10 seconds) due to their killing ability...
After all, in some situations, your prolonged standing can easily lead to your identity as a superpower user (duck) being recognized by the goose, and you might even be killed by the goose with a knife during the use of your skills
So, can the word standing time of the superpowered person (duck) be reduced from 10 seconds to 5 seconds?
Or, by extending the total time of the skill (10 seconds +10 seconds →25 seconds), can one stand up in stages to repay the countdown? （If you do not stand for a sufficient 10 seconds within 25 seconds, the skill will be invalid.）

[zenith drum]

And is the positioning of the "Lost Duckling" too abstract (although it may conflict with imitators, when it comes to the draw mode, directly choosing the "Lost Duckling" is nothing more difficult than the brand name telling everyone that there are no imitators in this round). I think finding a goose among the four red names is much more challenging than finding a duck among the twelve white names. This is no longer something restricted by "experts". The existence of the lost ducklings will seriously affect the speed of the ducks' operations

[zenith drum]

In fact, I think the lost duckling is more suitable to appear as the "fourth duck" (a duck not counted in the number of ducks) (of course, this will lead to conflicts with the host and parasites; other ducks will know that the lost duckling exists), and it will only gain the ability to kill after a duck is killed

[zinc mountain]

I AM A FAN OF THESE NEW ROLES

THIS FRESH AF

[pliant tangle]

It would be cool if there was an option for those with multiple monitors to choose which one the game displayed on or like a windowed mode. 🙂

[sick verge]

for now if you do alt+enter you will enter windowed mode, drag it to the desired monitor then select alt+enter again to go back to full screen 🙂

[karmic latch]

hey 🙂 I just downloaded the game and made some changes to the settings, and was thinking it would be a good idea to give the user some feedback after settings are applied (like a confirmation message) 🙂

[latent arrow]

@karmic latch - Thanks for the feedback, we are currently looking at improving the sound feedback in the settings menu. We can add this for sure in the next patch.

[karmic latch]

awesome! ❤️

[latent arrow]

Added

[karmic latch]

would it be terribly annoying if I made ux/ui suggestions whenever I see something that could be improved? 😅

(I'm a front-end dev and I'm really passionate about user experience, hahaha)

[latent arrow]

Not at all, we're moving so quick that sometimes we over-look small things. None of us are UX developers so that is definitely our weak spot. Keep em' coming.

[karmic latch]

nice!

[opal moat]

I wished you could close windows with ESC.

[latent arrow]

Currently you can close Tasks but we're working on implementing all the panels with their own ESC-functionality. I'll add it to the board now

[languid anchor]

when trying to join the lobby thats already started there is nothing to tell you that its already started it just dosent let u in the game, it might be good to say theres a game in progress or something

[zinc tundra]

I also wish I could close task windows by clicking on the outside area of them

[latent arrow]

^^^ This is possible but because we have a lot of drag/click events people were closing them accidentally more than not. I will look into a way to push the collider to the outside of the screen.

@languid anchor It should tell you the game is in progress/doesn't exist. I will look into this

[wooden roost]

You press E to open the button but E doesnt close the button screen

i dont know if it applies for other things yet

[wooden roost]

when you set a region and then quick search, a popup comes up saying "no games found in the region" but it stays there even when you join another game

so i can sit in a lobby with the popup still there

i can close it but I think it should autoclose

and the escape key doesnt close anything so you have to manually click on the X every time

legs also have a set timer for how long they run for so you can press A quickly and you will stop quickly but the legs keeping moving for a set amount of time

the mouse overrides the keyboard inputs

this is all in the lobby

we cant test more because 2 people

[green wagon]

also an option to change your push to talk button

[wooden roost]

also being able to change your resolution

[slender mortar]

yeah a way to change key binds

[wooden roost]

yep

[green wagon]

mhm

[red helm]

Hey thanks for the feedback; we are definitely trying to add more game settings so you can choose your own keys and resolution. The lobby popup shouldn't stay on we'll def look into closing it. The legs are basically bound to your momentum, not your keystrokes so they stop only when your character is fully stopped. There might be delays because of lag, if there is an easy fix we'll look into implementing it. Finally the fact that the mouse overrides the keyboard inputs for movement was actually a decision we did on purpose because using both inputs would make the goose move weirdly... if you have other ideas on the movement we're glad to hear them but I don't really see a player holding the mouse button while they are trying to move with the keyboard.

Thanks again for the feedback tho, it's greatly appreciated!

[wooden roost]

What if you made the original input (either keyboard or mouse) the one that is continued to use

[red helm]

Yeah that's possible, it's a minor change but I don't see how it can hurt

[ocean vector]

I would like to see proximity chat be adjustable from the perspective of voice distance, similar to bettercrewlink, along with the various other options bettercrewlink comes with. Not a fan of hearing all dead players anywhere on the map while dead either and I'd like to be able to converse with dead players during meetings too.

I also didn't hear a beeping countdown when the voting timer is about to expire, so not sure if that's a bug or if it's just missing.

And I would love to be able to enter a task by pressing space bar instead of E 🙂

[deft sand]

Is there a way to add an option to turn off visual tasks

[latent arrow]

This is on the board, we will implement this soon (next patch or following patch)

[deft sand]

you guys rock

[ocean vector]

While there is a counter for geese lost today, I'd like to see a counter for fart bombs dropped each day.

[latent arrow]

Oh dear lord, our servers would hate us. We'll look into this.

[ocean vector]

😂

[opal moat]

Conformationbutton when you voting.
Bigger speaker icon when you using voicechat to easier see who is speaking.

[latent arrow]

Can make it white?

[swift walrus]

its kind of weird that you guys would hire a modder because of their good work in the among us modding scene and then not let people mod your game. Kind of sussy

😦

[latent arrow]

@swift walrus We don't want just anybody to mod our game. We are very active in our community and extend/open information about our development process to our players. This includes people who like to mod games. We have a blanket statement in our EULA because of our account based back-end. Some mods may look like hacking to our network and that would get people's accounts banned. So far no one has formally approached us about making mods for our game. If we know a mod exist or a modders want to take control of certain aspects of the game we are more than happy to work with them and sign off on the custom content they may want to make.

If we find talented modders that have great ideas and are enthusiastic about our game we are rapidly growing. There is always room on our team for talented individuals.

https://gaggle.fun/careers

Here are some of the roles we're currently looking for 🙂

[viral coyote]

Damn if only I lived in the US

[latent arrow]

@viral coyote Where are you located? We're an international company 🙂

[viral coyote]

MK in the UK

[latent arrow]

We don't have an office due to COVID but we do have a team-member in your time-zome.

[green spruce]

can we be able to hear geese when we are ghosts

[latent arrow]

You can hear other dead ghosts. Letting dead players hear alive players with certain roles breaks the game and gets really confusing as ghosts can sit over walls.

[fierce grotto]

I think it would be nice to see all player roles on the end game screen including those that lost, maybe small in the corner or lined up on the left or right side of the screen. When the geese win and there’s a lot of players, there is always people asking who the ducks/dodo were.

[fierce grotto]

I think the pet uses should be on the lobby screen if you have one equipped

[fierce grotto]

Thoughts about your name from the profile showing up in the game screen? Some streamers might find that uncomfortable?

[zinc mountain]

I think you're right. Will talk to the team about potentially taking that out or making it just the nickname

[latent arrow]

Yes good idea

[cyan heron]

@fierce grotto doxxes self in order to save other from being doxxed. A true act of selflessness.

[final mulch]

i noticed this when i first logged in so changed my surname to a decimal point heh

[austere fox]

Love the game, currently playing with friends. Only big issue so far is several tasks are not colorblind friendly. It would be great if there an option for that.

[sick verge]

2 of our developers are colorblind; so we try to snap an array of colors for these tasks. Many of the ones that rely specifically on it can be refreshed to get a better palette - we will add symbols to them later

[austere fox]

Thank you!

[sick verge]

Yea I know the colourblind struggle sometimes xD

[unborn tapir]

A way to separate the chat for each match, or have it clear itself at the end of each game/lobby, would be nice. sometimes people will mention old messages in the chat from previous games during the lobby meetings, and then takes a moment for someone else to mention its old.

[latent arrow]

This was suggested already in #💡︱general-ideas - good idea, will be added to the list of features.

[rustic schooner]

it's not really a bug or anything, but the "align satellites" task in the list has "align" misspelled as "allign".

[latent arrow]

We are aware of this ^^^ The geese are terrible spelers.

[stuck onyx]

I cant leave a review on steam wth

[void iron]

I think you need to wait a bit after having installed the game

[stuck onyx]

let me review the damn thing steam

[zinc mountain]

I think you just need more time played on it

[wanton karma]

I was able to review it

[stuck onyx]

are you SpiderCarlos?

[wanton karma]

nope. mines in the waiting for steam to post it

[restive scarab]

My gamers

I am having an issue related to cosmetics. To summarise my issue, when i change the colour of my Honker and click "apply" it does not save.

Yours truly, Dodo

[latent arrow]

It may not save if you are not in a game.

[restive scarab]

Thank you

[ocean vector]

In the Steam version of the game, I cannot get player audio to output to my headphones, but I didn't have this issue in the Beta version I played yesterday

It just outputs player audio to my desktop speakers...not sure why

Okay, I restarted the game and it works now.

[boreal tapir]

in the explore mode is possible to be the duck instead of being the goose?

[final mulch]

Hiya, thanks for this feedback -- i've posted this in #💡︱general-ideas so the team can locate it 🙂

[left fog]

Hi--I experienced a frustrating issue during stream where someone with a variety of racist nicknames kept joining my game. It was a public lobby because we didn't have enough to go private, but I reported and kicked him multiple times but had no way to blacklist him from my room. Is there a way to add this?

Oh, on a lighter bit of feedback--it would be nice if the cosmetics you've purchased would get bumped to the top, because otherwise you have to search through the (very robust) list to find your cosmetics!

[zinc mountain]

This is something we will have for the next release!

[normal lintel]

is there a reason why mouse movement is quicker than keyboard?

[sick verge]

Player speed is the same, however with a keyboard you're limited to 8 axis of movement compared to the 360 degrees of movement you have with a mouse so it may feel faster

[latent arrow]

Tested, It's exactly the same

[manic tangle]

what is the difference between the steam release drops and the SG drop on twitch aside from the rewards?

[latent arrow]

@radiant topaz made our drops but I believe its just the type of rewards. Watching SG is a custom stream drop which will include her cosmetic shirt.

That's exclusive!

[manic tangle]

ahh ok

[trim turtle]

Love that the community is getting bigger after thorsday, but some of the steam reviews are just evil, people are mean without giving this game a chance.

[latent arrow]

Yep but the only thing we can do is hope that we get enough good ones to drown ‘em out.

[long gate]

most of them can be summed up by "I didn't come here to think", in which case why are you even?

[fallen quiver]

Great game

[green spruce]

icant see my carecter and my friends carecter

whay?????

internet maybe

[final mulch]

Does your CPU or GPU support direct X 11 ? That could likely be the issue. What are the specs of your computer? iOS and Android are coming shortly so you will be able to play with a mobile device soon.

[green spruce]

my system is good

my space is not full

[green spruce]

i have direcx 12

[final mulch]

@latent arrow - can you assist with this technical issue please

[latent arrow]

@green spruce can you DM me please? I will try to trouble shoot your computer.

[stuck onyx]

welp, there goes my feedback

[tight sundial]

unete, join us

[lapis pier]

I love this game

[final mulch]

Glad to hear! Have you left a review on Steam?

[stuck onyx]

Steam: You've played Goose Goose Duck for 8 hours this week, would you like to leave a review?

Also steam:

[tight sundial]

as a ghost you should be able to hear your friends voices. apart from that is a really good game

[latent arrow]

@tight sundial We are adding this in for games where proximity chat is disabled possibly in the next patch

[lapis pier]

Of course 😄 I even bought another game to be able to leave a review.... xD

[near ridge]

If you're dead and done with your tasks, having the game not kick you for idling would be nice. Seems kind of silly that you get kicked if you're done and can't do anything.

[latent arrow]

^^ I agree with it until we release more things for the ghost to do 🙂 This will happen soon.

[green spruce]

i have tried this game again today since the memory usage was at 50-60% and luckily im not getting any freezes

im gonna go try the game and activate the camera and see if it freezes
i did every task in single player but camera wasnt an option but i havent got a freeze once so i guess the problem was lag only

[green spruce]

game working perfectly now not a single lag in online just i need to restart the laptop right after im done studying and zoom

thanks for the help shawn we quacked the case!

[supple frigate]

"The green, yellow and red task where you have to get all 3 matching green"

I struggle a lot with this one because I find it hard to differentiate the light yellow and light green colours as I am colourblind (protanopia). Maybe a more obvious shade of green and yellow or different colours could help.

"TV task"
The sound is too loud and annoying.

Other than that I love the tasks and find it very refreshing compared to among us!

Thank you for the great game so far.

[lapis pier]

I'm not colorblind, and even I have a little trouble with that task x) And I do think the TV one is a bit loud as well, though I love the irony of having to adjust the antennas on the TV to get signal on an airship... ❤️

[tulip zenith]

I thought that task was how I was discovering I am a lil color blind. Glad I’m not the only one who struggles with it lol.

[sick verge]

A couple members of the gaggle crew (myself included) are colourblind (I am by far the most colourblind within the crew) as well, but don't worry we're making some of the tasks more colourblind friendly

[deep umbra]

Some of the achievements are really hard to get like killing 2500 people

[latent arrow]

Yes, we wanted some to be more challenging than others.

[deep umbra]

2500 is not a reasonable amount at most 1000

[lapis pier]

Some players will play a lot, and they need challenges ^^

[deep umbra]

Also another one of the achievements win 2500 is too much

[rancid ginkgo]

is there any support for controllers? and more accurately, a way to disable inputs from them?

[latent arrow]

@spring matrix not as of yet, when we port to consoles we will likely be able to create support/assign buttons.

[rancid ginkgo]

well only issue is that it seems to get caught by some controllers anyway. friend is unable to stand still because of his controller being plugged in

[cyan heron]

i'll kill 2500 geese no problem. I like a challenge.

I'm not looking for easy achievements.

as @lapis pier said.

[final mulch]

^^ ditto remember that this is early days of the game, and as more achivements are err achieved, then the tally will and can go higher

[hasty swift]

I find it annoying that if I'm playing duck with a another duck, and other one is morphling, I don't know that they're a duck until I see them in person

It makes 1st round voting hard, becuase most of the time, I don't know who my partner is

Also, it would be awesome if there was an arrow to show where to fix communications when that sabotage is called, especially with new players, it makes that sabotage way to powerful

[final mulch]

This is coming in new patch - if you’re a duck you will see all team-mate ducks no matter their subtype (eg morph/cannibal) unless blind ducks are turned on

[latent arrow]

Please do not type all in caps

This will encourage dodo silver farming.

please post in #lfg-english-over18

[chrome crescent]

Thank you for letting me know

[near ridge]

While I think having a task that enables intercom and cameras is a nice idea, it sort of gives a goose a hard clear. Would it be possible to make an option to maybe make intercom or cameras enabled for anyone who's done their tasks instead of being activated by someone or something else?

[cyan heron]

@near ridge you can play with visual tasks on if you want to hard clear people.

In my personal opinion... the less hard clearing the better

If I misunderstood your post, I apologize.

[latent arrow]

I think @near ridge wants us to hide the intercom and the cameras, we can definitely look into that. The intercom isn't a straight hard clear.

[cyan heron]

Agreed

Either way I'd like to hear more of what @near ridge has to say. Care to elaborate?

[near ridge]

Yeah, the thought was you can hard clear them off intercom and cameras.

There should be a way to disable that so you can't hard clear any more.

[cyan heron]

I agree

[near ridge]

ie - have a setting where cameras can only be active for a player if they did all their tasks

[cyan heron]

Sorry for misinterpreting your message earlier

[near ridge]

np

There are other options but that's the easiest and most obvious off the top of my head.

[final mulch]

If add the suggestion of ducks with one actual task to do though can’t hard clear anyone as they might end up with cams or intercom....

[near ridge]

Would a task completion number be possible as a toggleable option? ie - you turn it on and ghosts can see how many tasks a player has done (ie - 4/6) above each player's head. Could include a fake number for ducks/dodos that will go up somehow over time as well I guess.

Would be nice to know who has tasks left to complete so you can shame them for holding onto the last task for an hour to hold the game hostage.

[final mulch]

While i appreciate the frustration, this is really a potential game breaker .. ... . GGD ( and any other social deception games) is all about not knowing who has tasks to do or has tasks left .... Ducks should be more than capable of being able to complete their kills or get voted off with one task left within 1/2 hour ... sounds like that situation above just needs a new group of players who want to play the game. If medium is off, then the ghosts cannot communicate to the host that there is a trolly player, until game ends, so it seems like superfluous coding to add.

[near ridge]

It's just nice for having the option whenever a player might decide to troll and hold tasks.

Helps identify which players decide they want to purposefully troll.

I don't think this would be a game breaker as well, especially if it's for ghosts to see.

[final mulch]

that's why there are ducks/killers though, no-one thing should hold a game open - tasks get done, ducks kill, meetings get called to vote.. & the host has the kick/ban function

[near ridge]

Yeah, but my point is there is no way to determine who is holding tasks.

Hence the idea of including a toggle that allows ghosts to see the task progress.

So while in an ideal world it wouldn't be necessary, we live in a world where people love to play the troll.

It's simply providing people who want to play the game correctly another tool to help try and play the game correctly.

[pliant tangle]

I play on windows and my volume always defaults to 15 when playing the game, even after adjustments.

[sacred jacinth]

I also second maybe changing the cams/intercom task somehow. It has definitely been a “hard clear” card for many of the rounds I’ve played.

Maybe cams/intercom can active after a certain number of rounds has been played through or a activate after a certain number of goose are killed.

Just an idea. As a Duck it definitely makes that Goode who fixes it a big red target 🎯 for me or it makes them kind of like the ruler of the lobby because they’ve been hard cleared and their word is law lol 😆.

[latent arrow]

We can make them activate after a meeting ^^^

So if they are completed with hidden tasks, it holds the activation until after the first meeting is completed

[ocean vector]

Wouldn't that just have the person with the task call a meeting?

I can understand that is still a better solution, but it would just become the new norm to call a meeting after completing that task.

[latent arrow]

It still doesn't confirm 100%

unless its the first thing you do and someone watches you

[near ridge]

Would it be reasonable to make different colored geese/duck icons for the morphling so you can see which duck you would turn into?

If you've had a sample for a long time or through a meeting it could prove a helpful quality of life feature.

[green spruce]

does the twitch drop rewards is given fast or does it take a while?

[sick verge]

when you earn the twitch drop, claim it on twitch, then you have to claim them on the gaggle.fun website and the rewards are added to your account right away

[green spruce]

ah ok thanks!

[cyan heron]

I feel like a remaining tasks option will lead to someone getting bullied/singled out and other toxic behaviors.

[latent arrow]

^^^ This also limits certain roles and rulesets we will be introducing in the future

[opaque mesa]

people who purposely dont do tasks should somehow be punished too as i hate being a ghost and waiting for 15-20 mins sometimes for either the duck to kill them or the Geese to actually finish their tasks

[cyan heron]

What about people who are new or naturally slower than others? Or the medium that's been chasing ghosts around most of the time?

[opaque mesa]

yea i know what you mean and i had that thought when typing that message but there has been times where im a ghost and im watching a goose just stand there afk for awhile or just "shuffle" enough to not get kicked and purposely delay the game by over half an hour sometimes

[cyan heron]

I'm usually quick with my tasks so I have gotten frustrated by people not doing tasks after an extended period of time. But I just think it'll cause arguments with certain groups.

[opaque mesa]

yea i fully understand that as i tend to do that most games myself to be honest. i just wasnt sure if it was worth mentioning to maybe add some sort of fail safe for this

[cyan heron]

Yeah definitely worth mentioning @opaque mesa I was just looking at it from another perspective.

[latent arrow]

Please report player behavior like this

We have a reporting system in place specifically for this;

[cyan heron]

For sure @latent arrow

[opaque mesa]

i always do @latent arrow Shawn as its very annoying. But i understand your side @cyan heron and i appreciate your input

[cyan heron]

Hey! I appreciate you!

[silk cloud]

Forgot to do this before but Thor asked me to put my thoughts on optimizations for chatting as well as clicking off stuff like the chat and or task tabs. Sometimes chatting feels a bit delayed as well as sometimes lags a bit when closing the chat tab, also some tasks don't seem to disappear after they are finished, don't remember which ones on which map but if I see them I'll make a note of them to put here.

[latent arrow]

^^^ This is fixed in next patch. The chat delay may be due to censorship

Need to protect the kids

[ocean vector]

That is interesting, you would be able to identify that from a simple click of the report button? That's awesome if so, I'd be curious to know if you can share what else is grabbed when a player is reported, just for the sake of knowing when a report button might not be able to fully tell a story.

[latent arrow]

We do get quite a but of information, but obviously the more important thing is to just report them. This helps the most 🙂 The more the better.

[timber flare]

Hello, I just opened the game for the first time to try and play. Would it be possible to add in the settings to be able to allow windowed/full screen so I could move it to another monitor easily? I like being able to move games around and I think other streamers would like for that as well.

[latent arrow]

@timber flare You can hit alt+enter for now to bring it out of full screen. Our next patch will have this functionality built in with a settings checkbox

[timber flare]

perfect. Thank you. Good to know. I'll add that to my notes

Also, is there or will there be a setting for people who are color blind?

[final mulch]

Hi Katie, more refinements to assist with vision impairment are coming. Two of the developers are colour-blind, so the team is already aware of challenges faced. If you have any specific tasks you are having trouble with, please let us know, so they can be reviewed for accessibility.

[timber flare]

I was only able to do the wires so far. I know I'm not color blind, but I have a streamer friend who is and that was where I thought about it. I'm going to try and get several others together to play so we all can learn to play. From what I played I know my other friends will love this game.

[final mulch]

awesome - thanks for that info - i know the wires are being reviewed 🙂 Glad you're enjoying it so far!

[ocean vector]

I don't remember what e-mail address I signed up with...how do I find out?

[latent arrow]

I believe once you're logged into the game you can click account settings on the main page

the main menu screen

[ocean vector]

it just launches a web page to https://gaggle.fun/login

[cyan heron]

@ocean vector Do you have a search option within your email? I don't know a quick way around this.. and I don't know how many email addresses you have, but what if you searched for "gaggle" within each of them?

[ocean vector]

I did search my email, but I deleted those emails already.

Iirc I signed up using a suffix on my email, E.g. [e-mail], but I am likely remembering the suffix wrong.

I think I'll remember it, I'm a think out loud type, sometimes have to speak it out for it to come back to me.

[viral coyote]

We all need to rubber duck ourselves sometimes lol

[viral coyote]

Honest they don't tell me what to do *Is that okay ducks?

[near ridge]

Is there any likelihood of adding a friend list or something of the sort to the game? Think it might be helpful to add ways for players to connect a little better other than just joining this Discord and etc.

[sick verge]

its already on the list

[near ridge]

[ocean vector]

Is dat a trello card I see 🤔

[sick verge]

[final mulch]

[near ridge]

Is there any thought for sabotages that disable cameras and intercom at all?

Feels like it could be a useful sabotage to a degree given how often people like to sit on cams and they can see through lights.

[latent arrow]

Sure this isn't a bad idea

[near ridge]

I know Among Us ties it into comms but comms here cuts voice communications instead. I wonder if it would be viable to add it to comms sabotage or if that's too strong and should be an independent sabotage instead.

[latent arrow]

Tying it in isn't too strong

I think we can consider that

[near ridge]

Yeah, I think it could be fine.

Comms is pretty underutilized currently by most anyway.

[hallow zephyr]

Got stuck in a game where no one had a button left and the duck was trolling the lobby for 30 minutes without making a kill.

If they go 15 minutes without a kill, automatic lose for the duck.

Didn’t even stay to finish the game I had more important things to do.

[latent arrow]

Yeah that's fair, we are looking into dealing with griefing players

[glossy pine]

OH here's an idea, if a duck takes to long to kill force a roll swap!

wait no thats stupid

[sharp stratus]

is this game dead or something just downloaded it and cant find a single game to join

theres some guy just spamming the scrap outta the chat in my game lmao

@lapis oar the host can punt the people from lobby.

[lapis oar]

yeah its just a pub lobby idk if the host will lol

[wanton karma]

o yikes im sorry

[lapis oar]

yea big f

[latent arrow]

There are a lot of internet torlls

there is anti spam in the chat, he will get timed out after doing it

so he has to stop for quite some time

[lapis oar]

ah ok

[latent arrow]

but it looks like more than that

please report them

We do execute accounts/ban players

[lapis oar]

i tried, there name wasn't showing up in the report menu :\

[latent arrow]

In players?

[lapis oar]

yea

everyone was there but him

[latent arrow]

That means he might already be out

/Discojnnected

[lapis oar]

that screenshot was after i tried to report him lol

he was still there

[latent arrow]

... I will have to look into this; how certain are you? This is a pretty big rabbit hole

He can't be connected to our chat service and not on that list (its the same list)

[lapis oar]

yea im 100% certain i tried it after multiple meetings

[latent arrow]

ok I will investigate

if i see him in my game again i will try report him

I blame the parents 😛

[lapis oar]

so far im loving the game tho

the points for the cosmetics seem a lil grindy but from what i've seen the distribution of points per game is ok

[latent arrow]

We felt like making our game entirely free to play and letting people earn cosmetics was more fair than charging $5 for our game and also charging for cosmetics.

[lapis oar]

ye thats fair tbh

Do you think you'll be doing any streamer partnerships or anything for custom cosmetics or anything?

[latent arrow]

We've already done streaming partnerships with some of the biggest players

We're adding more every week!

[lapis oar]

oh nice

https://i.imgur.com/ySLQq2T.png welp this is going to end well lol

i've reported the no namers lol

[latent arrow]

It's likely them; we will force people to have names although you can identify them with color

sometimes people put in spaces

[glossy pine]

Yeah defiantly make sure their account names are forced as their epitaphs.

[scarlet ledge]

I know jackbox has a feature where you can make other players use their twitch names for the game, think that is mostly so you can ban them from your stream if they are being stupid

[green spruce]

yeahhh but no names can be used for like camping atop of each other and the duck would think its just one and kills

wouldn’t be fun

[ocean vector]

I would like to fart while performing ship duties.

[final mulch]

What you do in the privacy of your home is your business, otherwise use F in game while your character is alive once equipped from the curtain wardrobe.

[ocean vector]

LOL

[scarlet ledge]

Don't know if it has been brought up yet or if is in the works, but being able to choose what audio output the game uses would be very useful

[latent arrow]

It has been brought up; we are looking into this one. Surprisingly it is not as simple as people think.

[scarlet ledge]

Oh I don't doubt that, just from my very limited attempts at programming

[long pine]

@scarlet ledge you can control this from inside Windows, using the "App volume and device preferences" selector under "Advanced sound options". I think Mac has something similar, but not positive.

[latent arrow]

Windows actually doesn't like when software controls your default audio output.

It can be done, but there are a lot of things that we need to consider before putting it in.

[scarlet ledge]

Thanks, i'll check into that, Mac is actually easier but I only use my mac for music, not gaming

[ocean vector]

@scarlet ledge if you are looking for a more convenient way to do what Doomgoose described, you can install the EarTrumpet app from the Microsoft Store

[scarlet ledge]

I'll have a look, thx

[ocean vector]

I use EarTrumpet and it saves me the hassle of having to go all the way into the Windows settings to control which audio output to use with each app. I route games and discord to my headphones and everything else to my desktop speakers.

[raven stump]

hi. I was playing GGD today and was wondering if there is a way to host a game in a chosen server? or would it always host in the region the host is in?

[latent arrow]

You host in the server with the best performance

16 player multiplayer games require minimal latency

Its the same reason why you can't select region in fall guys 🙂

[near ridge]

Map during meeting time is nice. Is there any chance of adding the tab hotkey to it so I don't have to click it?

Would be a nice QoL addition.

[brave trench]

Also a key to open/close chat would be nice!

On some of the tasks I feel they shouldn't start from the beginning is interrupted by a meeting... Like f.ex the cleaning with W Duck 40 in engines. If a stain is removed it shouldn't reappear for that player after a meeting...

And it would be nice to have a training game where you only walked around and had ALL tasks available to practise on them all

[outer crystal]

there should be a swedish chat

[lapis pier]

Make it Scandinavian?

[outer crystal]

what do u mean

[lapis pier]

Norwegians, Danish & Swedish can understand each other well enough, so making it Scandinavian would open for more players, at least until the game grows bigger ^^
Unless there is already a ton of Swedish players around

^^

[outer crystal]

thats true

[final mulch]

@outer crystal @lapis pier - i've made #844118008767053825 for now 🙂

we can always rename and split it off later

[outer crystal]

THANK U 👍🏻😊

[final mulch]

Varsågod 🙂

[brave trench]

Takker så mye!! 🙂

[near ridge]

Is there any consideration to extending the capability of the discussion/voting timers?

ie - if I wanted to still have like a 2 minute long meeting but wanted it to only be 15 seconds of discussion and the rest voting

Having the option to set the voting to be the remaining 1:45 would be nice so don't have to wait a full minute or so to vote someone off if the whole lobby knows.

I guess if there's a worry about having way too long of a timer, perhaps there could be a joint limit (like 2 minutes split between the two?)

[latent arrow]

This is unacceptable, remove them from your channel.

[wanton karma]

The twitch name has been banned across multiple streams. That can be confirmed as of rn

[latent arrow]

Block/ban and also from your lobby; they wont be able to rejoin

In addition to this we are working on more strict public chat rule enforcement

[cyan heron]

The report and kick buttons need to be used.

[scarlet ledge]

and they've been added to my ban list as well preemptively

[rocky apex]

Add a way to skip the animation of the egg opening and getting coins

[rocky apex]

Be kinda cool if there was a killer that could temporarily become a ghost or invisible for a few seconds on a cool down. Very short duration long cool down

[tall dock]

Might not be the most helpful feedback but I really love the game a lot and since I got it have had nothing but good times. I've made some lovely friends so far and I've just started playing the game a couple days ago! That's my current feedback

[latent arrow]

I love this feedback! Thanks for sharing the positive vibes 🙂

[dry wind]

Can we disable 6's or G's or make them interchangeable for lobby codes? They look too similar and make it hard to join streams.

[restive torrent]

I just copy and paste

[dry wind]

They don't always put the code in chat, and sometimes just leave it on the screen.

[empty frigate]

hey just a little feedback about the medium, the new way it plays didn't go down so well in our group and basically made the role useless. Is there some happy "medium" (haha) between the old way and the new way?

[latent arrow]

@empty frigate It is definitely an advanced roll for sure. I wont disclose how it's to be used but it is one of the most powerful roles in the game (similar to a snitch). The team at Gaggle does play test with it and our beta group still does realize that it can be an unbelievable tool if used strategically.

[empty frigate]

if the ghosts behave XD

[latent arrow]

Yeah of course, I mean any role is technically useless if peopel are just messin' around 🙂

[cyan heron]

I see what you did there.

[chrome crescent]

hey guys i would like to ask if we could have at least one to two more colors added to the game that way we can switch when its a full lobby if this hasnt been suggested yet

[latent arrow]

^^^ Going beyond the number of colors will present colorblind people with a serious dilemma 😦

[near ridge]

Would a fill color be an option then so we could switch colors?

ie - if you have fill selected you'll get a random unchosen color

that way we have an option to swap off a color to let other people switch colors with a full lobby?

[lapis pier]

Make it leopard spots

[latent arrow]

The amount of programing logic that needs to go into this is far worse than making it so the last person who joins doesn't get a chance to choose.

[inner sage]

Loving this game so far. I play Among Us weekly with a bunch of people and we recently tried this game and had a blast. Some of us suggested not even wanting to play Among Us anymore. Now that I've had the chance to play it a few more times, I wanted to drop some suggestions that IMO will make the experience so much better. I hope they can be considered:

• Keep map available all the time during meetings (or give the option to choose)
• button to see list of tasks during meetings
• button mapping
• remember lobby settings when returning to main menu
• presets for settings (similar to The Other Roles mod for Among Us)
• switch maps in lobby (instead of needing to create a new lobby, just to switch maps)
• show your own role during meetings
• play as duck while exploring a map, with dummies on the map, so we can test duck controls

[lapis pier]

Several of these have been suggested, and some are being considered & possibly implemented in the game. Keeping the map open during meetings can create problems for touchscreen users and will probably not be a feature.
We are happy to hear that you and your friends enjoy the game, welcome to the goose fam! Thank you for the feedback, we appreciate it very much! Feel free to leave any other ideas you have in the #IDEAS channels

[inner sage]

I mention the map button always being available, because that could allow for shorter discussion and longer voting time, allowing for voting earlier (especially if you already know who it is) and not needing to wait X seconds before voting, just because we want to have longer time with the map. Thanks for considering my suggestions.

[lapis pier]

The voting times might be tweaked in future updates ^^
Any suggestions are welcome, the team want this game to be enjoyable & accessible for as many as possible ^^

[inner sage]

One more I just remembered. When a morphed duck kills, it shows the killed goose they were killed by that morphed player, not the duck, which is a bit confusing

[cyan heron]

This was intentional game design. It actually just changed to this pretty recently.

[spiral atlas]

There should be a way to get a view of a random goose who hasn't finished their task.

Maybe a "manager" role where you can click a button that chooses a random goose without their tasks done. As soon as that goose finishes their task, the manager can see a different random person. To balance the role, ducks could press a "fake task" button that increases their task counter.

Also ghosts should just be able to see how many tasks different people have done.

Also there should be a visual indication of how much time is left during meeting. A progress bar with two segments for discussion time and voting time.

[inner sage]

Super confusing when you're dead already for so many of us tonight already. 🤷‍♂️ Maybe give the option for either way?

[final mulch]

It’s to counter the morphling role. If you see your true killer you can go straight to following them rather than observing as a ghostling to figure out who it really is before trying to send the medium to them. Just as you spend time alive trying to find the duck ...

[inner sage]

I don't understand confusing everyone for a single role that has a 10 second button and you can't communicate with the medium other than them seeing you, but ok. Carry on.

[ocean vector]

Apparently if I spam enough clicks I get kicked and receive this message:

Is that intentional? 😄

[latent arrow]

for now yes

[tropic compass]

can i report something in here?

[cyan heron]

Please do.

Also .. it depends what you're reporting as there may be a better place for it. But let's hear it anyway!

[latent arrow]

A solid medium player doesn't rely on the ghosts to communicate with them directly. They will use their ability in small groups or when approaching other players mid/late game to see if ghosts are fluttering near their killer. Getting killed by a morphling can confuse the ghosts and throw off the medium which is without a doubt THE MOST powerful goose role in the game.

[tropic compass]

Why?

[latent arrow]

^ Your computer doesn't meet minimum specifications to play the game

[cyan heron]

Direct X 11 or above, my friend

[tropic compass]

why it's occurred

[tropic compass]

had installed it

[cyan heron]

Even if you've installed it, your computer may not meet required specs.

[tropic compass]

i'm using DX 11 for my computer

[cyan heron]

@latent arrow you're better at this.

[latent arrow]

The i5-2520m chip doesn't actually fully support dx11 shaders, it actually only supports dx10, The minimum specs are a third generation i3

this is a second generation intel (1 year too early)

2012/2013 is when intel released chips that fully support DX11 (3rd generation)

Your chip was released in 2011

[tropic compass]

even i had installed DX11 or higher, the hardware doesn't support right?

[latent arrow]

yes

unfortunately so 😦

[ocean vector]

What if silencing a blind duck killed them?

Just a passing thought

[tropic compass]

Unfortunely, maybe in the next update DX10 can join, but nearly impossible

[inner sage]

I mean, you can still give the option in the settings to give the flexibility and let the players decide if they don't want to be confused and feel that makes more sense. Plus, what happens when Medium is off? Does it revert back to showing the actual killer?

[latent arrow]

No it stays, we found way more hilarity with people getting flustered at someone for killing them when they didnt. It was more enjoyable for players across our tests as well. In the event of there being no medium it makes little/no difference other than the need to know. We know it's not exactly like Among Us and because we're not a mod it lets us do things a bit differently. Our sheriff has a custom kill animation as well :)

[scarlet ledge]

XD I've seen teh seppuku animation pretty much every time i've been sheriff

[inner sage]

That's fine. I'm not here to debate it. Just giving my feedback that adding an option for the players to decide what they want for that scenario would make the game/role way more customize-able to the players' and lobby liking. I appreciate the quick responses.

[latent arrow]

Oh yeah we're not debating and the feedback is important.. being able to have an open discussion is what it's all about. Just trying to explain the reasoning behind why it was done differently in the mods (somewhat out of restriction). Its also important for everyone to know we're not just doing what we like but what the community likes. That morphling change was a broad request from the players. If enough people want to switch it back we can and adding options to it is something we can investigate for sure. I never close the door to giving players a different ways to play the game :)

[dry wind]

I've been awake for 38 hours. This game is ruining my life. It's too good. Please make the game less good so I can sleep

[latent arrow]

Unfortunately at this time no.

We are actively monitoring player bad behavior reports

if we see them we can and will ban them for this behavior

Thank you for sharing.

[dry wind]

lol I was joking if that wasn't clear. :)

[latent arrow]

Either way we're ok with it as long as you're staying safe

[scarlet ledge]

XD can you imagine an entire lobby full of people who can't see each other?

[lapis pier]

Omg I'd wanna watch that xD

[chrome crescent]

there is no report playerbutton in game or in lobby

[versed moat]

There's been an increasing issue of teenagers coming into games as groups and trolling/spamming the n word. Can we get the ability to kick people while in the game?

[latent arrow]

If you are the host you're more than capable of doing this.

Also please be sure to use the report function.

[versed moat]

Our host said they were not able to kick until we were in the lobby.

[latent arrow]

Yes this is true, kicking during the game was leading to griefing

Unfortunately this is the nature of public games; we are doing what we can to ban based on your reports. There is also shadow banning for chat that is already implementd. We are working on better ways to stop this behavior.

The best thing to do in the meantime is report it and they will definitely get their accounts turned off.

[versed moat]

Okay

[latent arrow]

We will have new public game functionality this week 🙂

[latent arrow]

Just added

It will be live in next patch

Click block to stop seeing text from them

We will also add a report button to them; This will give us that user's ID and the contents of the chat window

Moderators will be able to review it in real-time and ban people who violate our ToS

https://tenor.com/view/boots-shoes-reno911-showing-off-funny-gif-4452234

[final mulch]

Cheers for the devs

https://tenor.com/view/meryl-streep-yes-cheer-gif-5923413

[near ridge]

A designate lobby leader button to change who is the lobby host would be nice.

Maybe under the players tab or something.

[green spruce]

wdym is someone pretending to be him or smth?

[cyan heron]

@latent arrow

[dry wind]

I love the drops system on twitch, it's easily one of my favorite features of this game. I just want to express my frustration on the JTaz_ drops as the sweater is locked behind 10 hours of viewing, which normally wouldn't be an issue but with JTaz being a variety streamer, and only streaming one day a week in a 4 hour block means you basically have to be there for 3 out of the 4 streams he allotted time for, for the costume. If I tune in this Sat and watch the full stream, I will still miss the costume by 2 hours.

I know it's optional, and it's meant to be fun, and rewarding and an incentive to watch streamers you may not have known about otherwise, but In the future please consider not putting such long drop requirements (10 hours) for variety streamers if they're only streaming 16 hours for the entire length of their campaign. It just doesn't feel good. Please consider extending his campaign.

[latent arrow]

It's up to the streamer Xizta, it's their cosmetic

We make recommendations but ultimately it's up to them. If they were easy to get people would stop watching. 🙂

[dry wind]

I totally understand that. It's just having the opposite effect for me. Instead of being something fun for me like the virus or vigilante shirts, that have actually made me stick around and watch these people long after I've earned the rewards, the Jtaz one is actually making me frustrated.

[latent arrow]

Jtaz is an extremely popular streamer in Italy (he's part of their version of OTG) and really I think he wants to keep it exclusive as he could. I don't see anything wrong with that and I can understand that not everyone will get it and I'm certain he'll refresh his campaign at some point in the future to give people the opportunity to get it again.

[dry wind]

Hopefully! I mean I get it. I understand it. Doesn't mean I like it. :-p

[inner sage]

@dry wind just found the lobby while in game. LOL
https://clips.twitch.tv/VainCovertPizzaPupper-Jus-vCOdXhLHhl4C

[sick verge]

haha we are aware of this, fun little "easter egg" to wander if you're done your tasks. Easy to throw a wall up there but not a priority

[inner sage]

Hilarious

I would keep it

[final mulch]

its a nice place for a ghostling dance party when medium is turned off and you're done with tasks.

[scarlet ledge]

Or when the medium has been murdered.....again

[green pebble]

Hide and see, as well as Goose Hunt is nice, but maybe include a feature that allows us to know who the Duck is immediately and remove the button in game as well

[timber obsidian]

@green pebble are you trying to hit the emergency button during goose hunt / hide and seek?

[green pebble]

No but the button did glow yellow when walk past it

[timber obsidian]

you can even click on it! but you won't be able to activate it

[fierce grotto]

Hey, have someone who is colorblind that said they have an issue with the test tube task in medical

[cyan heron]

This task is being updated @fierce grotto

[lapis pier]

I think they are working on symbols to add to it ^^

[tropic sand]

can we choose the private room code insteeed it being random?

[timber obsidian]

Unfortunately they are generated automatically

[final mulch]

Next build has symbols. Have explored.

[dry wind]

I think there should maybe be at least one more color added, that way in a full lobby people are still able to switch their colors if they want to.

[latent arrow]

@timber obsidian Do we tell them about the color?

[timber obsidian]

The new undiscovered one? They aren't ready

[scarlet ledge]

[cyan heron]

The new color is a translucent pearlescent terre verte.

[scarlet ledge]

with hints of puce?

[dry wind]

Chartreuse!

[vivid burrow]

Is there any way to make the lobby prox more location based, ie to hear less people if I stand further away? I have a really hard time with crowd sounds, hurts my ears

[lapis pier]

This requires a lot more coding, and I don't think they will implement this, at least not as of right now, Maybe further down the line as the game grows ^^

[vivid burrow]

Gotcha

[lapis pier]

Maybe try using the individual volume bars, to turn down players that are particularly loud for you?

[vivid burrow]

I could try that i usually just deafen

[scarlet ledge]

Ya deafening in lobbies is probably your best bet, but I can definitely understand where you are coming from

[dry wind]

One of my friends who I recently got to play the game is protan color blind, and has an issue with this task: https://i.imgur.com/tNq8NnH.png

[latent arrow]

There is a white dot that fades in as you move them

You can ignore the color entirely (2 of our developers are colorblind)

[dry wind]

I will relay that to him and see if that helps. I know his is pretty bad where the Enchroma glasses won't even work for him.

[latent arrow]

The white dots should actually help more for severely colorblind folks like @sick verge

[final mulch]

Just confirming that they know this task is to get the three 'greens' in a row, rather than a "green, yellow, red" scenario in screenshot? They mention hard to catch the shade differences in their comment - They can look for making a crisp white dot in the middle of the circle. I used to have issues with how green is green, now, i just look for the dot

[dry wind]

Yes, they know. Because they're proto they have trouble seeing all 3 colors. So I took a screenshot to see if he could tell the difference between those 3 colors, and he can't. He was not aware the white had any relevancy to the task, so after mentioning it to him, he said he noticed the white, so he'll pay attention the next time he plays, which will probably be tomorrow or Friday.

[scarlet ledge]

ya, i saw the white myself but didn't think it had any relevance, but i'm also nto colorblind

[latent arrow]

Yeah it actually only helps colorblind people

[scarlet ledge]

and i gotta say, it is great that accessibility is one of y'alls first concerns

[cinder ibex]

I think having the little voice icon in the discussion screen be more distinct would be nice, perhaps make it black, larger or make the whole name change colors would be nice. My screen is kind of small and sometimes it's hard to see who's talking.

[lapis pier]

I do agree name color change is a good suggestion. It will be particularly good for when it comes out on mobile 👀

[cinder ibex]

Another option would be making their rectangle change colors.

[near ridge]

Since leaving a game causes impossible task win but in order to prevent people from just leaving for instant task win, would a plausible solution be to add tasks to remaining players?

Ie - X leaves the game with four tasks, those four tasks get distributed randomly to other geese.

[zinc mountain]

This is on our radar. The ability for us to add tasks to players is definitely something we're looking into intently, it's something we can use for roles or game modes.

[scarlet ledge]

Maybe some kind of notification for the bounty goose so they can know they aren't bountied anymore?

[near ridge]

Wouldn't that give them extra information for the timing of a kill?

[scarlet ledge]

true

didn't think of that

[tardy haven]

to be fair, if you are bounty and you survive to the first meeting, you are clear. xD

[ocean vector]

Does leaving private games while in the middle of a match result in the game possibly flagging a player as a bad actor?

[zinc mountain]

Nope, only public

[ocean vector]

Does a goose lover killing themselves as a result of a lover dying count as a kill to their goose kill count?

[ocean vector]

We've had a player join our games a handful of times and then leaves when things don't go their way. How can we report them? I have already blocked the player

[latent arrow]

Is this in a public game?

[latent arrow]

@ocean vector no

[ocean vector]

No, it was in a private game. I also caught them being super rude in-game and their actions are recorded in a twitch stream. I can share the link privately with the timestamp if you like.

They were also not very cooperative in several other games and we eventually had to kick them from our game.

[latent arrow]

Once they are kicked from a lobby they can not rejoin this lobby.

We can't do anything about private games. If you open up the code to the public you're inviting in random people and it's up to the game host to manage this behavior.

[ocean vector]

Understood, thank you!

[inner sage]

Any thoughts on audio boosting rather than having everyone only at 100% max. It would be nice to be able to boose quiet players instead of lowering all normal volume players. Similar to Discord with up to 200% boosting?

[dry wind]

That's a great idea, cause I already "normalize" everyone by turning them down to 50% so the quieter players can be more easily heard.

[sick verge]

As of now we do not have the ability to boost remote users volume with the way we are doing voice integration. The quieter players will need to boost themselves on their end (adjust mic settings) or you would have to turn everyone else down to be able to hear them.

Would if we could

[inner sage]

Darn. We have a few quiet players in our usually group of friends. Problem with lowering everyone is now everyone is quiet

[dry wind]

Couldn't you artificially set everyone at 50% volume and call that 100%, and then allow everyone to adjust from 50% to 100% and call that 200% ?

[sick verge]

We could but that would be a little dishonest lol

[inner sage]

That would help though

Plus there's a separate "voice" slider in the main game settings that can be raised if not already at max

[dry wind]

It would help normalize volume levels for quiet people instead of me turning every single player to 50% and keeping the few quiet at 100%. I am constantly adjusting my volume levels at the rate in which people join lobbies to turn everyone else down.

[inner sage]

I think at the very least of setting all players lower than 100%, say default 75% would help tweak the quiet players

[dry wind]

I know one of my friends I play with has a turtle beach something or other headset and it's at max volume in every setting inaginable and everyone has trouble hearing him, so that's what started me down the path of manually turning every player down to be able to give the quiet players a voice.

[sick verge]

so you want us to set you "voice volume" in settings to 100% (which it does) then set individual volumes to 75% of that 100% then? Thats the summarization?
Everyone is going to have different microphone settings so you're going to run into the issue of having to turn everyone up instead of everyone down to adjust for the select few in your lobby

[dry wind]

More or less, yea I think that is the summization. Or at least a setting to give us the option in the setting of what percentage to default people at.

So that way if I wanted everyone that joined a room to start at 75 or 50% volume I could turn them up if needed, but gives us the chance to turn the quiet ones up louder than everyone else because otherwise they just can't be heard as well in some cases.

I manually set everyone to 50%. Quieter ones go higher depending on their mic, but then when someone new comes into a room I'm instantly fumbling to turn the new person down to match everyone else I normalized at 50%. Which is basically 3 or 4 times every single time we go back to the lobby and new people join.

[scarlet ledge]

Well i think discord is a good example on this, when you first join a voice conversation all the sliders are set around 50%, not sure what the volume level is on those, but then you have room to adjust up or down from there

[inner sage]

Yes, sort of. Discord uses 100% (might be 50%) and up to 200% (which might be 100%) 🤷‍♂️

[dry wind]

It's set at 100% but you can go to 200% I'm not sure if they artificially made those numbers and 200% is really 100% or how it works, but yea, same concept.

[scarlet ledge]

I mean unless you are labeling the volume meter in decibels or some other quantifiable form of measurement instead of percentages it's kind of hard to say where exactly the volume starts lol

[latent arrow]

Discord is a web application that isn't running natively. They run as a process and can utilize your mic settings from your drivers directly. We can't wihout heavy modifications to our chat SDK and it would require us get security permissions that aren't allowed on most Steam Apps. Steam has recently increased their security protocols for builds and as we gain more traction we may have more authority to build apps to do this.

[lapis oar]

Anything we can do to prevent people doing this ? the guy keeps constantly joining but leaves before we can report him or kick him. https://i.imgur.com/VD8R6o7.png

[latent arrow]

Is this a private or public game?

[lapis oar]

public game

[latent arrow]

There is about 6 seconds where he will be in your player list to be kicked before he can access the chat window

[lapis oar]

ah okay so as soon as we see him join just try quickly get him kicked out?

[latent arrow]

yes for now; if it continues let me know

[lapis oar]

they've done this 2-3 times before but will keep an eye on it

[fluid fulcrum]

I don't know if this is on my end or not because I've tried almost everything in my power but still I keep disconnecting from client timeout on the first meeting. Any ideas on how to fix this?

[lapis pier]

This is a known issue, and they are working hard on a fix. Beta testing as we speak to try and locate the problem ^^

[fluid fulcrum]

So the only thing I can do at the moment is wait?

[latent arrow]

Yes, at the moment we're working hard on a fix as we know it's affecting a small portion of our users. Most of us haven't really slept much. Please be patient with us as we are in early access and get through some of these challenges.

[fluid fulcrum]

Thanks, just wanted to know if it as anything I could fix. Appreciate the clarification!

[latent arrow]

@fluid fulcrum as of right now, a fresh install and verifying the files from steam might help.

https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=2037-QEUH-3335

[near ridge]

Is there any thought to allowing an option to not cause lovers to die together? As it stands with forced death, as a lover duck or goose on opposite teams it severely limits your strategical options and might be fun to allow potential to backstab a lover.

[timber obsidian]

@near ridge that's really their whole shtick

If you want to backstab someone, make a friend and then betray them

[near ridge]

Yeah, just having optional depth is nice though.

[timber obsidian]

It's an idea for sure

[mint mantle]

A useful tactic I have figured out with lover duck is not only showing my lover what I am but also kind of wiggling near my lover in a way to say "This is my lover, don't kill them" in front of my duck buddy. Sometimes they get it, other times... well... lover walks in front of a kill.

Overall, this does make the game more interesting if you play your cards right.

[ocean vector]

I was thinking last night it'd be interesting if there was a "sleeper agent" duck role, cannot kill until late in the game or when none of their duck partners are remaining, and cannot enable sabotages or execute them until their role comes online.

[timber obsidian]

@ocean vector that's an interesting thought

although you can already do that by being a duck and just not killing anyone

[ocean vector]

That's true, it's one of my play styles.

[proud iron]

Okay so for an idea, could we have a way to report someone in game if they are a toxic player.

[timber obsidian]

you can block them

the host can boot them

[proud iron]

Okay

Thanks

[turbid hatch]

I’m also dropping right after first meeting. I’ll try an uninstall/reinstall for the funsies. If that doesn’t work I’ll try another email signup maybe? I tried running Ethernet cable to me modem, tried using a different internet connection. Still does it 🙂

[latent arrow]

Please run : https://www.fusionconnect.com/speed-test-plus/ping-jitter-test/

Let us know what your connection looks like. It may be a quality of connection issue

[near ridge]

Would it be plausible to add a noise to the Vulture arrow appearing? Sometimes it can be a little hard to spot if it spawns like in a wall or something so an audio cue would be helpful.

Also, I don't recall but I think Dodo vision is tied to Vulture vision in the settings unless I'm mistaken? Doesn't seem intuitive that the other third party vision is tied to it without being labeled as such.

[latent arrow]

We will add it in 🙂

[near ridge]

Would it be plausible to allow keyboard movement for mechanic? Every time I am mechanic I always want to be able to use keyboard hotkeys and being forced to use the mouse instead for it feels clunky. I guess duck as well, but I feel like I spend far more time venting as mechanic.

[regal ridge]

Can't you use keyboard for it?

[lapis pier]

I think keyboard changes are in the plans, just not a priority atm?

[timber obsidian]

It might be less trivial than one might guess

like would that preclude multiple vents being in a line anymore?

or what if there are two vents both to the NW of you?

it's definitely something we'll consider and dwell on!

[regal ridge]

can the vulture....have a counter of some sort to keep track of the bodies they've eaten? or at least a lil thing that reminds them how many they need to eat?

[latent arrow]

You can move with your keyboard only as an option.

[hallow sundial]

please make the window resizable, I don't like playing games in full screen and the windowed mode takes up the entire screen

[latent arrow]

This will be a feature in our final release patch 🙂

This should be soon

[hallow sundial]

cool

[open sparrow]

ok so idk if a thing that can be fixed or something but i been getting lover over and over

[latent arrow]

complete random

[open sparrow]

ah ok

[near ridge]

Moving with keyboard only lets you navigate vents with keyboard but you can't if you use keyboard + mouse?

[latent arrow]

I think I'm confused, what is it you specifically want to do?

[near ridge]

I personally use keyboard+mouse for movement, but feels bad to only be able to use mouse for vent movement personally.

[latent arrow]

We'll look into it.

[near ridge]

Was wanting to see if keyboard movement could be enabled for venting.

Gotcha, ty.

[pure pumice]

@latent arrow was in a meeting as vulture and both times i was able to bring up map before the voting timer kicked in and the map stayed up. was able to close it. only happens if you click map during record scratch

[latent arrow]

yes you're essentially opening it right after the vote tells you to close it

its a bit of a race condition

thanks for letting me know

[ornate glacier]

hey question if the canadian goose gets killed as someone else reports the body does the canadian kill override the current report or does the normal report go before the canadian?????

[latent arrow]

They have to report it before it hits the ground

there is a tiny window

[cinder ibex]

I think that if multiple people get ejected from the airlock they should have a random starting position so they don't just look like one body. As in they rotate and are on the same point, just out of sync.

[lapis pier]

I love the little fan of dead bodies spinning around

[proper beacon]

Decrease the amount of bodies Vulture needs to eat on higher player counts

It is too hard to get 4-5 bodies with high player counts

[timber obsidian]

@proper beacon for the moment, we're happy with the amount of bodies the vulture needs to eat. We don't think it should be easy

[regal ridge]

i enjoy having to eat 4-5 bodies cuz sometimes you just come across a pile of four and laugh to death as you win

[zealous cairn]

By chance is there a Goose Goose Duck font? If so, is it possible for a person to get access to it?

[scarlet ledge]

Shawn said junkdog is what they used in an earlier question on the same nature. It isn't a free font though

[hard timber]

I don't know if it was proposed already, but a way to save the options of a game would be nice. 🙂 With a bunch of friends we swapped maps several times and we had to re-select the roles we wanted, the timers and all that each times, when it was always the same person who hosted the different games.

[jolly wigeon]

U should put that in suggestions

[sick verge]

You will be able to swap maps in the lobby eventually

[jolly wigeon]

Wait how tf did I get hete

Here

[lapis pier]

The Magic School Bus brought most of us

[jolly wigeon]

I loved that show

"I hope this is a normal field trip" "with the frizz no way!"

[regal ridge]

does this mean that we'll be able to go from the mothergoose to lobby to the black swan

quack, i left the ping on

sorry

[sick verge]

exacts are TBD but you won't have to create a new lobby and re-invite everyone to switch maps. We'll get the user flow right

[regal ridge]

[verbal escarp]

Hey, can we get some Linux support

I can run the game with Proton (Steam's built in compatibility layer for running Windows games on Linux), prox chat doesn't work

I know this game isn't locked to DirectX considering that it works on macOS

[latent arrow]

Our voice & proximity chat unfortunately will not work on Proton.

This is not a trivial fix for us but some of our devs work with Linux and we haven't written out the possibility of future support for it once we are out of early access.

[verbal escarp]

What is the issue?

If you are allowed to go into the technical aspect lol

[latent arrow]

The SDK we use for voice and proximity chat includes built in streaming/mixing/echo cancellation, We would have to program a wrapper to get it to work properly. It involves a lot of testing and would take up a lot of our resources right now while we're trying to get the game into full release.

[verbal escarp]

Ah yeah, a lot of noise suppression software doesn't work on Linux.

For example, Discord's Krisp noise suppression doesn't work on the Linux client

I wonder if I could get modify the wine/proton prefix to get it working

[latent arrow]

The hardware drivers for linux don't work the same way as they would on MacOS and even if they did they are largely obfuscated by Apple. It's challenging to get around.

[verbal escarp]

I had to mess with Proton's winhttp.dll files to get Modded Among Us working

[verbal escarp]

I'm guessing it's a Vulkan issue?

[latent arrow]

No

[verbal escarp]

NVIDIA's drivers on Linux suck lol

I'm building a Linux distro and I have to maintain two separate ISOs because of how NVIDIA's drivers work (they don't support Wayland or Piprewire)

Ok, thanks for looking into it though, there's loads of game companies that just ignore it completely because it's only like 2% of marketshare.

I'll try again on my Windows SSD

[latent arrow]

It's actually <1%

we use Linux a lot here so if we can get the resources to do it we won't ignore it 🙂

[verbal escarp]

I was thinking of os web marketshare, not Steam's lol

[verbal escarp]

I do think there will be a bump because of a Linux based Steam handheld that got leaked that Valve is making

https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2021/05/exclusive-valve-is-making-a-switch-like-portable-gaming-pc/

(That was probably why Valve make Proton in the first place)

Other than that, great job on the game

I'll be getting some freidns on it

[bleak thunder]

Just this thing that kept on bugging me, I want to be able to change the resolution of the game in windowed mode. The game lets you switch between full screen and windowed mode, however, windowed mode is locked at about 1440p. The game is really fun tho. This change would really help a lot with streaming and such since if you don't have the highest resolution monitor, you should still be able to read chat.

[latent arrow]

Screen resolutions are coming in the near future.

[willow knoll]

Hi all! I'm loving the game, I've come from Among Us where I have 5000+ games played but fancy a change. I'm enjoying the way the game plays, the laid-back / "party" feel, and the pleasant-ness of the public lobbies!

However, I'm colorblind, and am having a tough time telling the player colors apart. I had a search on here and was pleasantly surprised to see that so much has been done to the tasks with colorblindness in mind, and that this issue affects some of the devs as well.

I think the issue may stem from the fact that the player colors seem to be mostly pastel, which I guess limits the variance between the colors? In Among Us I struggled with White/Cyan/Pink, Darkgreen/Brown, and Purple/Blue, however in Goose Goose Duck, I'm struggling to tell many of the colors apart. I feel that with the colors being less vivid, and there being more of them, this has become more of an issue. I've attached a picture of what I see.

This is an issue in meetings, as I end up not knowing who did what, and end up relying solely on the name-tags, which aren't always clearly visible at the time. I figured that this problem will solve itself over time, as people acquire hats/clothes etc, however I am struggling to tell players apart, especially in the small voting icons which appear alongside each player. Knowing voting patterns of each player in the early meetings is a helpful clue to who is good/bad in the late game.

I feel as though this could be helped somewhat by having an option to write the player colors below them in meetings, and maybe below the name-tags in-game.

Just a thought!

[latent arrow]

You're almost exactly the same color blind as me 🙂

ONE OF US!

[sick verge]

ONE OF US!

[latent arrow]

With 16 players it is definitely difficult to get a color palette that helps us see everything (actually it's damn near impossible).

So far the color palette we have now was actually the most optimized for the various color blind to see across 16 iterations. Some combinations of smaller groups are definitely worse. We move slightly off the solid colors because they were actually harsher on the eyes.

[willow knoll]

Definitely agree. TBH, I couldn't list 16 colors that I can tell apart.

[latent arrow]

We definitely can do something in the future for color blind folks like us, but you're right; once everyone has cosmetics the problem stops being a problem but we shouldn't rely on people spending real money to make that problem go away.

[willow knoll]

For the same reason, I'd suggest not heading towards full-body cosmetics, unless they were forced to remain player colored. The "half mech" bodysuit introduced in Among Us is a real pain.

[latent arrow]

Writing the colors could potentially help; I will add it to our trello board for an update in the near future (underneath the name we can put a player number)

We don't ever let the player fully cover their feathers

[willow knoll]

You guys are great, I am really enjoying the game, I previously played in a number of Among Us lobbies and am trying to pull together enough people to get some GGD lobbies going. The game is a refreshing change, and it's good to see another game in what feels like a new genre for video gaming.

[latent arrow]

Awesome, we believe the community is what makes these types of games. We love the feedback and the positive community that is forming around us! We're gonna whatever we can no matter how popular the game gets to keep lines open between the players and the development team 🙂

No one should be in the dark about what we're working on ever.

[green spruce]

Hey so some feedback for you guys. If there was a way to change in game push to talk to any key that would be a very good thing but that's just a suggestion for you guys to implement in the future

[green spruce]

I would like to add on this, maybe do another update on the game where it’s not as glitchy now. Because I have to reopen it constantly

[lapis pier]

@green spruce this is something that will most likely be added later down the line, right now the focus is to get the game to mobile + general bug fixes. @green spruce the game is constantly being worked and improved on to ensure as many people can play the game as possible, without these issues. Trust me, I'm starting to think the whole developer team are vampires, I don't think they sleep 👀 If you know specifically when your issue occurs, please let us know, then maybe we can help you somehow!

[dry wind]

We are currently getting ready to test another patch, so hopefully this will fix some of your issues.

[green spruce]

I will, I’ll play some tonight and let you know when it occurs

[latent arrow]

key mapping is scheduled for a later update.

[green spruce]

Awesome thank you

[regal ridge]

more things to craft plz

i just...love crafting things...

[regal ridge]

....also...the option to change who you vote for would be great...

[sick verge]

you shouldn't be second guessing your votes

[regal ridge]

i just get voted off before i can explain myself a lot typing instead of speaking ya know

[sick verge]

some players have a chaotic way of playing sometimes

[regal ridge]

true

[spice heart]

this is an epic game

needs more kill animations, maybe some better ones and more practical ones like knives and... ya know... duck strength

[latent arrow]

There are already 8 death animations and we're introducing 3 more in the new map =)_

[lapis pier]

There's 8? I haven't crafted a single one... x) I'm saving mine for an epic viking axe-cleaving anyway

[spice heart]

wait i thought there were 5

and idk how to craft or get crafting stuff anyway

[lapis pier]

You get items by doing tasks, and they drop randomly. This is why it pays off to do tasks even as ghost, dodo or vulture

[spice heart]

ahhh

rewarding. makes me want to play more

[golden crag]

big brain

[willow knoll]

This is what discussion time is for, to prevent snap voting.

[regal ridge]

true

[spice heart]

oh hey could we get a preset option for role settings

[jolly wigeon]

?

Explain

[spice heart]

where we can at least save our settings for our lobbies

[lapis pier]

Are you talking about saved settings, that carry over into your next lobby? If so they will most likely try to implement it in the future, it's just not a priority atm ^^

[spice heart]

yeah, that's what i mean. okay

[jolly wigeon]

Yeah I would like that

[spice heart]

we should remove the ready up

the games dont start

[timber obsidian]

@spice heart that's probably going to stick around!

[spice heart]

o ok
maybe it should start off as ready, instead of unreadied

[timber obsidian]

@spice heart that's probably a little less intuitive!

[spice heart]

ok

[severe tiger]

hello, why can't i have my name set as 'lesbian,' and why is my identity censored ? there's nothing wrong with it. also, seeing as the game supports the lgbt community i dont understand why you would actively censor it, as if it was a dirty word.

[barren prairie]

can yall just make polis from amogus?

[sick verge]

we are focused on creating new and exciting content for GGD

[barren prairie]

i think two things you can add is to have save profiles for your game settings and also the ability to change the percentage of how often X role shows up

[broken moth]

There is something called copy right

I’m not sure if you know what that is

[barren prairie]

no, what is it

[broken moth]

Are you serious

Well

Copyright for dummy’s

If you have any thing that is copying anything else in a game etc

[warped siren]

it's pretty much the same as Plagiarism for books

[wispy saddle]

Not sure if this is the right channel to post this, but make it so we can resize the window? Some people like to play the game in Window mode on a different resolution (I play most of my games in 1600x900 instead of full screen)

[dry wind]

Window resizing will be coming in a future update, I believe it will be part of the mobile release.

[wispy saddle]

Sweeet

[north anchor]

So um, i just bought a gold pack for $39.99USD, $51AUD, ive been charged the money but i never received the gold.

[viral coyote]

Have you tried closing and reopening GGD?

[north anchor]

Yes i have.

Ive got it under control now, sorry for the hastle.

[viral coyote]

Okay, some times it does take a little while to go through

[toxic vine]

I would recommend a slightly better tutorial, I have gone through my first game and I still don't understand anything, I've even looked at the tutorial still haven't found anything.

[lapis pier]

This might very well be a feature later on, but right now the game is still very new, and is growing & adding features at a really fast pace ^^ I recommend watching a few streams ( #829421328502095943 ), or ask questions in #💬︱general if there is anything in particular you want to know ^^ Check out the Looking For Group channels, #lfg-english-over18 in particular, and join a private lobby with proximity chat! Ask away, we have a really friendly community

[wild mantle]

There needs to be a button to report players, I was wearing the rainbow shirt in the game and two kids just kept on harassing me calling me gay, "stfu you queer", and harassing whoever else who told them there's nothing wrong with being gay etc. I'm not even gay, but just saying a report player button would be very helpful

[sick verge]

In public games, in the settings menu under Player category there is a full list of players and there you can find a report button that you can use

this channel is not a discussion board but a place to provide feedback

[timber obsidian]

@broken moth Thanks for the feedback. We're trying to keep this channel clean of non-feedback related discussion and @wild mantle has brought up an issue worth addressing. We appreciate you trying to help, but you are not really contributing anything of substance. Feel free to DM me if you require any clarification.

[barren prairie]

have yall considered making the vision radius a bit blurred? I think it fits the ambiance better than the clean circle.

[latent arrow]

We don't use 3D spherecasting so doing that isn't as simple as it sounds. We are using really high res graphics compared to the OTHER game so we can look at it. If you take a look at their shadow versus ours there is a big difference in cpu requirements. Adding blur means less people might be able to play, like our friends on dx9 🙂

vs

[jolly wigeon]

I know what game that is from

[opal rampart]

we just tested this game (6 players) and the mic volume of several of us is super low, even with everything maxed. Is there a way to increase the mic volume even further?

[zinc mountain]

We’re working on a way to increase gain, stay tuned!

[willow knoll]

I really like the hard edge to the vision circle in GGD. It looks especially good with the flashlight. For me it removes a lot of the "did I just see...?" moments around the edge of the vision circle. You either saw it, or you didnt.

[latent arrow]

We went for the harder edge for a few reasons. This was one of them. We are making upgrades to the flashlights in the next patch

[opal rampart]

when playing with flashlights, mouse movement has a clear advantage over keyboard-only due to allowing more than 8 angles to aim the flashlight. Not sure if it's even an issue, but just something you guys should be aware of 🙂

[willow knoll]

The ability to use the mouse to move has loads of advantages. You'll only ever get 8 ways with a keyboard!

[lapis pier]

I have found that that is only an issue to people who are not used to keyboard controls, as several people I know can somehow do perfect circles with the keyboard controls x)

[latent arrow]

@lapis pier are you saying ....

https://tenor.com/view/git-gud-gg-knight-dancing-happy-dance-gif-17360274

[dry wind]

We recently just tested a smoother flashlight for an upcoming build. Keyboard seemed really smooth for it. I didn't notice as much of a difference between mouse and keyboard. I believe it's slated for the next update.

[shadow vale]

hi there! not sure if this is the proper channel for me to let you all know this in, but for some reason anytime i go into a lobby the game automatically boosts my mic under my MSI mic application which causes huge static in my streams and my sound to be extremely loud. we had this issue yesterday while i was playing live and today i tested it after we fixed the issue and realize its only when i go into a lobby. just wanted to make you all aware to possible look into this issue, im not sure if i'm the only one or not.

I tried to load the game up and turn the boost off and it looks like it turns the main volume for my mic up as well automatically. i tried to adjust it but when i start talking, the volume is automatically turning up while in game. there's no way for me to stop it

[dry wind]

In the future, #816406021232263280 would probably be the proper place for this. I know there is currently a lot of issues with mics that use specialized software to do things (like for example I use an El Gato Wave 3 that utilizes special software for virtual audio cables, and the mic auto unmutes itself everytime a meeting is called). Have you tried going into the windows microphone settings, and unchecking to allow applications to take exclusive control of the microphone? https://i.imgur.com/VKdPS9T.png

[shadow vale]

ok thank you for that heads up on where to bring these issues! but let me try that now @dry wind

[latent arrow]

Xizta nice find! Throw that up on the steam page 🙂

[shadow vale]

@dry wind so i found this but even changing it to off did not help. it still automatically adjusts my mic when i go into the game

[dry wind]

@shadow vale Try right click on the speaker on the bottom right of your screen it should bring this menu up: https://i.imgur.com/BPWbsoU.png . Click open sound settings. Under input it should list your mic, click device properties. https://i.imgur.com/BYfp9h6.png There should be an "additional device properties" tab, and you should be able to find it under the "advanced" tab.

[shadow vale]

FOUND IT! omg. ok now checking if it still happens when i go in a lobby. brb 😄

it still doing it

[dry wind]

😦 I'm out of ideas. I'd make sure to post in the bug reports section with your exact microphone model, and the devs may be able to identify the issue if they haven't had it reported yet.

[shadow vale]

ok bet, on it. thank you for trying to help! @dry wind ❤️

[dusky sable]

Was playing this game for the first time today for a couple of hours. And it was really so much fun. Love the game, and the nerdiness. Thanks a lot

For me, I so far only had one issue that I think affected gameplay. I had one person being lower than the other, and I would like to be able to boost that persons volume, not just reduce the others. Had to reduce everyone else to 30% or so in this case to get close to even volume. Also be able to set or autolevel your microphone would be helpful.

[latent arrow]

This is good feedback! We are working on boosting mics 🙂

[dusky sable]

Awsome 🙂 As said, I'm impressed by the game, and had so much fun

[lime terrace]

Hi! Was in the same lobby, loved the game. Just found that the map being on left tab a bit awkward.

[latent arrow]

We will introduce kep mapping later 🙂

[strong vale]

Good morning / insert timezone here guys!

I was streaming this last night and towards the end of the night I started getting questions about Colour Blindness settings. Do you guys know if there will be a move to bring that in?

In particular there is a task where you must adjust 3 sliders to all be green, this can be quite difficult with or without colour blindness as the limes or close colours can appear very similar from person to person.

[timber obsidian]

@strong vale there is a white dot in the center of each of all those sliders

where as you get closer to the correct 'green orientation', a white dot gets less and less opaque

[strong vale]

Ahhh I see I see, thank you thank you.
Are you aware if there are plans for colour blindness options overall in future though as there are members of my community who have that and express that concern.

[timber obsidian]

We have two developers who have two different types of colour blindness

and we've tried to ensure that the tasks can still be completed - did you have specific concerns about any other tasks?

[strong vale]

Honestly I would need to confer with them and see where they have difficulties etc. But good to see you guys are taking that in as a factor already 🙂

[timber obsidian]

The bird vaccines and the electrical wires and the weapons wires, for example, have symbology to match the colours. Feel free to reach out if your community can voice what tasks they are having difficulties with

[strong vale]

Of course!
As I said to PileOPhish last night, I think it's awesome you guys are ontop of the discord. It's refreshing and I want to give it the big ol thumbs up!
Good to see!

[timber obsidian]

We definitely try to be as inclusive as possible! hope you guys are enjoying the game

[strong vale]

We do, will have to play it again!

[dry wind]

The most important feedback I could provide: Turn the audio on the TV task down a little. That static hurts my sensitive ears!

[lapis pier]

I agree with Xizta
Retro is cool, but do we really have to live through the pain of the past to a T?

[scarlet ledge]

except in the past we would turn down the TV while we adjusted the ears XD

[lapis pier]

No such luxury for geese!

[zinc mountain]

Also the fail sound for communication fix

[patent vigil]

Yeah-

That’s just scary

[latent arrow]

I turned up the fail sound for communication and lowered the tv static

next patch

[scarlet ledge]

sounds good

[zinc mountain]

wut

[placid wharf]

How do we report toxic players who call other people the b-word a lot?

I have screenshots of them doing it in gen chat too!

Y'all should get a ticket report system up on the server for this kind of thing. We have one on an AU server I staff and it helps a lot.

[sick verge]

If it is a private lobby, either have the host kick the player from the lobby, if it is a public game you can report a player in the settings -> player panel and let the system handle it.

[willow olive]

I think they're talking about the discord

Not the game

[placid wharf]

Soooo. Y'all just cool with toxicity in the server? They CONTINUED IT on the server. I have screenshots.

There's no ticket system to report people on the server.

[willow olive]

I think you should DM the mods about this, feedback is for the game.

[placid wharf]

I don't DM mods. The server rules even say DO NOT DM MODS. Soooo

I am a mod on another server and hate gettin DM'd. My server has a ticket system for reporting

To keep people from DMing all the time

[willow olive]

does "Head geese" refer to the mods

[placid wharf]

I'd assume so.

[sick verge]

We don't tolerate toxicity in the server, if it is someone in the game there are systems in the game to report toxic players

[cyan heron]

We're working on a system to give people a way to report toxic behavior the moment it happens. I don't think the behavior should be ignored either. For now you can report the player while in a lobby or try to find another lobby.

[placid wharf]

@sick verge can I DM you the screenshots then please???

For the toxicity on the server?

[sick verge]

If it happened on this discord server I am sure it has already been taken care of

our moderators are usually on top of it

if it was in the game, please use the reporting system in the game

[placid wharf]

Everything has been taken care of maybe, except the guy with the H*TLER profile photo...like.

[willow olive]

I mean, I don't know to what extent of disobeying the rules that would be

They aren't being inappropriate, nor is their verbal abuse

[sinful oracle]

I know this is discord rather than game, but if it helps at all i got some links for setting up a modmail which has been used in a fairly large official server; if wanted at all feel free to dm me. No need to reply at all, I'm just bringing up due to last messages there... I think you guys are doing an amazing job, both in game and server and its awesome having dev teams involved in the discord to just if you wanted it is all

[latent arrow]

Why is that crossed out :)

[timber obsidian]

Please post this in the relevant lfg channel

[sharp flume]

Personally would say change the text that shows who reported a carcass from "Host" to "Reporter" or something alike. I've not played the game super much but every single lobby I have, it's questioned as to if they are the host of the actual lobby rather than the reporter of the body, especially for newer players that would be easier to understand.

[latent arrow]

Better?

[sharp flume]

That totally works just as well

[latent arrow]

We spent all month deciding on whether we wanted to add a new color of goose but we decided the month of dev time would have better been spent drawing this symbol pixel by pixel.

It will be in next update.

[dusky sable]

Hum... a minor thing that just thrown the power in the lobby to the side: Ghost ducks should probably not be able to open the airlock... The ghost duck had just one thing to do, camp in the cargo bay

[latent arrow]

We are considering this, we will likely change it later. Experienced groups flock to the cargo bay at the beginning of the game and get their tasks out of the way or wait until a door sabotage has already been called to go in there.

It's also used as a way for ducks to force players to separate if they are more experienced (for the late game).

[teal latch]

In larger groups I've noticed it can sometimes be difficult when there's only 1-2 ducks left as large groups of people who feel safe together form. Maybe ways to split groups, such as individual doors, having reactor be in two different rooms, some sort of roll call where you have to go to a certain room and others have their own rooms etc could ease that late game problem.

[dusky sable]

makes sense... Just felt that duck ghosts ends up camping there and everyone havn't done the tasks there will die... but I guess you can learn for an experianced lobby

[latent arrow]

We are working on a new way to break players up 🙂

[tacit geyser]

Especially with prox chat, which in itself encourages stacking.

[latent arrow]

We have a solution for that in the near future 🙂

[still heron]

I would like to thank the Gaggle Community for updating the game to support late Directx10 & 9. (Sorry for the late thanks pc got taken away lmfao)

[hybrid narwhal]

I’m not sure if this has been said or not, but longer discussion/voting times would be great 👍🏼

@hybrid narwhal are you finding the full 120 seconds insufficient?

[hybrid narwhal]

A minute for each has not been enough time with full groups. (Public with no VC, and private with proxy/VC) At least in my experience. In other similar games, we would discuss for 120 seconds and then voting would last about 30-60 seconds. It’s just a thought though 😊

[timber obsidian]

something we'll definitely take a look at!

[hybrid narwhal]

Thank you!!

I'm not sure....looks a bit familiar ;)

I like do the honking goose in-game report button.

I'm a streamer and sometimes play with viewers. I'm worried about trolls showing up. Is there a smooth way to be able to yeet them out if they act badly? Or mute a specific player?

Also want to say that we want the option to be able to increase meeting time. 120 seconds in a 16 player lobby is chaos. I agree with Piff

Also havent noticed a deafen button on my screen, but ive been told it's P. Didnt know before I was told.

They are looking into the voting timer ^^
Muting specific players is in the works, and if you are the lobby host you can kick them ^^

You can already turn their volume way down.

So my friend is having some real pretty bad issues trying to get voice chat to work, and it's just not picking up his voice, he has a really low voice, but it's not really picking up anything

Hi, this is likely more a hardware issue

[latent arrow]

What type of mic do they have, is it set as a communication device, do they have third party sound software installed, and also lastly, where are they connecting from/firewall/antivirus info?

[elder sail]

Through USB, they have a shure sm7b with an audio interface, everything seems to be working fine through discord and streaming, but not the game proximity chat

[latent arrow]

Yeah it is likely getting stopped by the third party interface; ask them to try a different headset/mic combo if they can.

[elder sail]

This is his new set up, he had a set up last week that didn't work so he upgraded, and it still doesn't work now unfortunately

[regal ridge]

is there a reason... i keep getting the same role over and over

[latent arrow]

Luck, human condition is to look for patterns in the chaos that is our lives. The universe has no concerns for arranging things for us so we do it for ourselves.

It is both our burden but also our greatest strength as a species.

Anyone got anything else I should try?
