Geese can't spell

[regal ridge]

when two geese get yeeted at the same time their bodies spin at the same pace which hides one under the other... plz randomize the spin speed so we can get flowers of yeeted geese bodies

[latent arrow]

Done

[regal ridge]

yaaaaay thank you

[still heron]

why is there no capitalization (i mean like lowercase letters,) Why is it all caps

in chat and everything else text related

[scarlet ledge]

easier to read i would think

[green spruce]

This is looking great. I remember my first game with Vampz and I asked him to remove someone because I thought "Host" meant "Host" 😄

[patent vigil]

Are there any more colors coming soon? I’m just asking because in full lobbies (of 16) you aren’t able to change colors unless someone leaves

[latent arrow]

This is a good point we have thought of adding 2 more colors.

[patent vigil]

Oh cool!

[latent arrow]

We would need to get a PR team though to announce each color we decide on.

Should take 2-3 months.

[latent arrow]

This will be in the next patch.

[regal ridge]

thank yoouuuu

[latent arrow]

@patent vigil Ok only took 2 minutes, I was wrong. Guess it was easier than I thought. I've temporarily introduced POOP BROWN and BBQ-CHARCOAL as the two new temporary colors. @timber obsidian Can you please go on a color discovery mission?

[patent vigil]

Oooooo I love it!

[timber obsidian]

i've had a lot of correspondence with scientists in the field of chromatics

[lapis pier]

Couldn't just call it brownie colored, could you.......

[timber obsidian]

we're working on something that's an indescribable mix of brown, purple, and gray

half of people witnessing it will likely die

[latent arrow]

@timber obsidian wait a minute, do you mean a newly discovered color that no one has ever seen before?

[timber obsidian]

but on the plus side, it is colour blind friendly

[timber obsidian]

100%

[latent arrow]

Ok so I literally planned for this update to take me 2-3 months. What do I do now?

[lapis pier]

Finish your BBQ dinner

[latent arrow]

Should we do a community vote on potential colors?

[patent vigil]

Yes

[open sparrow]

yes

[patent vigil]

And include this killer color Herbert is speaking about

[open sparrow]

mhm

[latent arrow]

As the colorblind developer I don't feel that I should be involved in selecting the colors for people to choose from.

[patent vigil]

True

[latent arrow]

@sick verge neither should you

[lapis pier]

Isn't that exactly why you should? I think it would make things a lot more interesting x)

[open sparrow]

is chris the one who makes the cosmetics and all that?

[latent arrow]

Can anyone recommend a good PR agency to let all the players know we introduced a new color into the game?

@void iron & @sturdy oasis draw the cosmetics, @sick verge just ferries them onto accounts

[open sparrow]

ah ok

because im looking for a custom metal dragon skin and was wondering if i can pay for one to be made.

[latent arrow]

Personally I like BBQ-CHARCOAL Goose

@open sparrow It would be undeniably expensive.

[open sparrow]

im all for that color

and yea ill look at the price and see if i am able to spend the $$ for it

[sick verge]

yea I don't touch colours, I just nod and go with the colouring decisions

or tell them what I can't see

[latent arrow]

@open sparrow You wouldn't be putting it on your account; it would be put into the game.

[lapis pier]

Chris just pretends he knows what's going on

[sick verge]

are you making fun of my condition somni?

[open sparrow]

ah ok like the founder's pack?

[lapis pier]

No no, just your brain

[timber obsidian]

vantablack

[open sparrow]

thats almost black hole black ❤️

[lapis pier]

Think you can skip the shadows on that one... x)

[patent vigil]

Soon we’re gonna have every shade of grey and black possible

[open sparrow]

yay

[lapis pier]

Don't make this game 50 shades of grey please

[open sparrow]

no of course not 50 shades

more like 500

[latent arrow]

I can just make everyone greyscale

[latent arrow]

We get no love... when the other guys announced pink as a color the internet threw a party. I literally added two colors in the same day on demand and people told me that the name POO-GOOSE-BROWN wasn't ok.

[lapis pier]

"Who done it?" "Grey...."

Hey, didn't say I wouldn't throw you a party, just that you're naming skills are questionable

[latent arrow]

Fine - Fecallescent Brown

Is that better?

[lapis pier]

I love it

[latent arrow]

And the last one will just be 0x270x270x270xFF

[patent vigil]

It’s amazinn!

[lapis pier]

See this is why you need a little help with the naming thing... maybe drop the x's

[patent vigil]

make a slider that can range from white to black

[lapis pier]

@timber obsidian , now do the beak & legs

[open sparrow]

yes

[patent vigil]

[timber obsidian]

the darkness spreads

[patent vigil]

It’s a black hole

[timber obsidian]

time to fire all the art team

i'm going to take over

[open sparrow]

lol

[lapis pier]

I call it Infectious Black

[open sparrow]

just use the gray scale to make a colorblind mode

[open sparrow]

infectious it shall be

[open sparrow]

shadow duck

[timber obsidian]

all cosmetics and all geese feathers will now be this colour

[patent vigil]

honestly not a bad idea at all

[timber obsidian]

obviously you cant colour in the glasses or you wouldn't be able to see through them, so i'll stop here

[open sparrow]

i would rock that

[patent vigil]

Anyways, these are honestly great colors, especially the poop maroon-brown

[latent arrow]

Ok we're going with GOOSE-POOP-BROWN and BURNT-HOTDOG

[patent vigil]

YEAH

WOOOOO

[willow knoll]

Maybe run to the store to grab some burn cream for those other guys. 😂

[regal ridge]

um....question was there some item available for 10 gold?

[sick verge]

off the top of my head, the pride craftable shirts are available for 10 gold

[regal ridge]

shit...must have accidently bought one. that explains that lmao ty

[regal ridge]

nice

[lapis pier]

The final evolution - it's beautiful!

[regal ridge]

really is

[willow knoll]

What we don't realise yet is that this is a sneak preview of the next new role.

[dry wind]

I want more tasks! 10 per map. I feel like 7 is too few for some of the more advanced players!

[regal ridge]

[lapis pier]

mooore moooore mooooooore

[latent arrow]

@dry wind experienced players don't wait to kill geese.

[lapis pier]

right... so when experienced players play with inexperienced ducks... xD

[latent arrow]

Sometimes @timber obsidian and I shake our heads at all the bad habits people bring in from other games... GGD has a higher skill cap IMHO and we're still waiting for people to perfect the play. A couple people to watch who are spectacular at making fun to watch content are Rilla and Cartoonz. They make smart plays and mess around at the same time. 🙂

[regal ridge]

sometimes you just gotta duck around

[dry wind]

I mean, I totally get that. I respect it. I just want more tasks to do while I'm dead, cause I finish them too quickly otherwise.

[lapis pier]

we just want more materials k?

[regal ridge]

i finished all my tasks before the first round was over this last game

[dry wind]

That too. I hate how all the cogwheels are all in cafeteria!

[latent arrow]

I will do this but materials crafting costs will go up

you read for this?

ready*

[dry wind]

Yes!

[lapis pier]

mmmm okay

[regal ridge]

do it

[latent arrow]

not this patch

next patch

[regal ridge]

i'll never get the sunflower set anyways

[latent arrow]

Not with that attitude

[cyan heron]

Why do we want more materials?

[regal ridge]

true

[cyan heron]

I have plenty.

Play the game more

[dry wind]

You should make some of the dev costumes available for 9999 crafting materials, with no gold purchase option!

[latent arrow]

That just encourages people to try to hack

We don't want to deal with that

[regal ridge]

oof

[dry wind]

True.

[cyan heron]

K see ya

[dry wind]

lolololol

Just having the option for more tasks I don't think is bad to suit people's playstyles though. Not everyone is going to want to crank them up to 10.

[sharp bolt]

Started playing on June 5th, it is now June 13th. I have unlocked 19 achievements, amassed 71 hours (3 days of playing time) in just 7 days (I won’t count today yet cause I am posting this very early). I’ve met loads and loads of awesome people and made tons, like TONS of new friends. I can easily say this is a great game and I am obviously enjoying it more than your average person. With no direct reference it hit all the spots that it’s counter part, well missed on. I talked to a Beta tester today and they told me about all the new feature rolling through on the next few patches and everything is looking to turn out very well. Great job 👍🏻……..I also decided to return to streaming because of this game and I’ve gone from 164 followers to 207 in just a short amount of time which is insane. Again, awesome job 🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻

[tropic compass]

Thank You for Allowing me (DX10.1 Graphics) to Play Goose Goose Duck

[lapis pier]

Thank YOU for enjoying the game with us!

[lapis pier]

We are so happy to hear that you’re enjoying the game & this amazing community that has formed around us! I will keep an eye out for your streams, and maybe we’ll play together one day!
Here’s to many more hours of hilarity, deduction & pure chaos!

[tropic compass]

[patent vigil]

[latent arrow]

People had an issue with Poo Brown so we replaced it with Teenage Mutant Ninja Goose Green

And then we got rid of the darker orange and put Poo Brown there.

We have now spent a year of development on changing our player colors and we have to prepare for a PR release explaining why/how we choose these colors. IGN is going to ask the names of all of our colors. Should we host a color naming competition?

[toxic locust]

Y E S(even though I won't participate xD)

[latent arrow]

This one I call, Too Raw to Eat Chicken Color

[scarlet ledge]

You don't eat your chicken medium rare? XD

[toxic locust]

i dare you to call the red sus

[obsidian bramble]

Omg I love that green shade, makes me think of Olive Green honestly

[latent arrow]

The White one will be called Captain Planet

Cause that's what you get when all the colors combine

[scarlet ledge]

Needs a k pot and an OD green uniform to go with the green

[near ridge]

The sooner an assassin role gets into the game the better imo. I know you can counter claim role declarations but I like it when things are spicy. 🔥

[latent arrow]

Spy Duck is next 🙂

[near ridge]

Yeah, which sounds great but I like to kill.

I am definitely excited for Spy Duck though.

[sharp bolt]

🙏 🙏 🙏

[exotic copper]

is this game a crypto miner or not because my gpu goes way up despite meeting the required specs

[latent arrow]

No we're not a crypto-miner

There may be a conflicting process on your machine; sometimes free-sync or gsync enabled can tell your gpu to run the game at the maximum frames allowed.

We're based in Canada and the US, we would be serving serious jail time for doing that. We also have a certification from Apple and are verified with code-sign.

We can definitely try to help you out to find out why that might be happening though.

[exotic copper]

ok thank you for letting me know

[latent arrow]

If you need help with figuring out what might be causing it please let me know. It could also be struggling with one shader, a GPU update should fix the issue

[exotic copper]

its fine it now only maxes out at 10 when joining or making a lobby

[latent arrow]

Was it drivers or freesync/gsync?

[elder sail]

So messing around with the proximity chat, and it works generally okay when I use a relatively medium to high-pitched voice, but has really really really really terrible time trying to pick up my voice the lower pitch my voice is

[latent arrow]

We are currently rewriting our entire audio system 🙂

we hope to have it balanced and better soon

[elder sail]

Just so I can give you an example of the proximity chat issues

https://youtu.be/CPZ1muGER6E

[latent arrow]

Are you using noise or echo cancellation?

[elder sail]

Unless that's in built into the game, no

[latent arrow]

It is

Are people saying they can't hear you?

sometimes the indicator doesn't catch it but it is still transmitting.

[elder sail]

im told im choppy at best

[scarlet ledge]

dunno if it will help you or not, but I had to run my mic through voicemod to get it to sound normal in game

[elder sail]

That's kind of unfortunate, considering I have a few friends with my voice or even a lot lower that have similar issues

[latent arrow]

We're working on improving our mic system in the really really near future

It's part of our next patch.

Not the one that is coming up this week but right after 🙂

[placid wharf]

Soooo, I know it isn't gonna be the most commonly agreed on of importance but um....any chance for addition of pronouns under names during discussion (Depending on name there isn't space for them in the name itself)?? IDK I feel bad when playing with people and using the wrong pronouns, and people misgender me regularly too because of my own voice. Again I know so many people will probably be like "That's a dumb idea and not needed" but liiiike it would be helpful. Especially since y'all have trans pride shirts and it's currently pride month. I figured I'd at least throw it as a suggestion?

[viral coyote]

Maybe stop referring to them as her/him and use a more inclusive pronoun like they or them?

I know it isn't the best solution but it is a more inclusive term I think. Also if i'm wrong feel free to shoot me down in discord

[placid wharf]

No I totally do 99.9% of the time, usually only slip when I'm sleepy tbh. I myself USE they/them pronouns. I just get she/her'd a lot and notice people using her and him often to others. Again, not the highest priority and lots of people won't think it matters but still wanted to mention because worst thing can be said is just a "Nah" ❤️

[viral coyote]

I wasn't saying it won't happen, I recently had the slip up of using the they/them pronoun and shot myself in the foot. We look into all suggestions as a team to work out the best way to implement improvements to the game. We have to also be careful for example hate targeting if we show gender associations. Not everyone is open minded which is a shame, especially in these times.

[placid wharf]

Absolutely, I've been targeted due to my pronouns on various discord servers before. I also just accept that as part of being authentic. Doesn't mean it doesn't suck, but I find that most LGBTQIA+ people accept that being out isn't always an easy road, just a worth it one. ❤️

[fair raven]

Hey 👋 I checked recent feedback and I'm unsure if this feedback has been given already. If so, sorry for over posting.
Speaking visibility
While people talk in game, having names change color (the whole name) would be super helpful. Ghosts as well. Maybe a color option and a grey option, so it works for color blind people too?
For the discussion have their names change color, the mic symbol is very hard to spot. Or for discussion maybe make the whole window of that player change color (same: a color option and a grey option). That would help immensely 😊
General orientation
If you're a ghost and you're not near the other ghosts, let the speaking names appear on the side with a pointer so you know where it's coming from. (Left right up down etc like with the arrows for the tasks)
Feedback from a person with autism, so that's my struggle with this game, knowing who is who would be super helpful 😂 I enjoy this game lots! ❤️

[willow knoll]

There was a mod for that other game which lit up a border around each player's rectangle, in the player color, when they were speaking. Super easy to see who's talking. I struggle to see the little icon in GGD meetings.

[dry wind]

I end up using 'em a lot.. but people think I'm saying him.

[green spruce]

What was the proposed change to medium that you guy proposed? I keep forgetting but if you guys want another thing to add to that let me know as I have an idea that could change how medium works

[willow knoll]

#850063497877913630

[cyan heron]

Same.

[near ridge]

Actually while it's fresh on my mind because I was just thinking about it, is this an ok place to provide feedback for escape rooms?

[latent arrow]

Yeah 🙂

Keep in mind our entire escape room platform will be changing this month

[near ridge]

Oh, cool. I just thought two quality of life things would be super nice for them.

A push to talk option and some sort of audio or visual cue for someone leaving a room would be nice as it can be hard to notice if you aren't using cameras.

Everything else was super solid.

[obsidian bramble]

Is there a possibility of a timer setting being added to "Goose Hunt" gamemode?

Like, so we can choose how long it is, since sometimes it feels like it can be a little bit too short.

Still a great gamemode, just that it feels a bit too short sometimes. ❤️‍🔥

[latent arrow]

^^^ It's generally been balanced to give ducks and goose a 50% winrate

Even a few seconds per player will tip the balance in the power of the one or the other significantly

Some games will feel shorter than others.

[obsidian bramble]

Ooooh, gotcha, I get that. Thanks for the reply! ❤️‍🔥

[dry wind]

I will say the temperature task, as someone who struggles with dyslexia.. I never remember if the temperature goal is at the top or the bottom. Is there any UI changes that can be made to show the targeted temperature off to the side and maybe a little bigger, and then maybe the current temperature above the visual vertical bar?

[scarlet ledge]

I don't suffer from dyslexia and that one throws me off sometimes

[celest venture]

Not sure how Dine & Dash is supposed to be played, but you give a lobby 10 second kills cool down and the game doesn't even make it to sample cool down ending. It's just everyone spamming kill button for 40 seconds.

[latent arrow]

Strategy will evolve

This is generally not how it's supposed to devolve

we will make adjustments to the game as we see strategies develop

[chrome inlet]

@timber obsidian @void iron @sick verge @latent arrow @zinc mountain @red helm nice update!

[timber obsidian]

thanks

[latent arrow]

תודה

[chrome inlet]

בכיף

[fossil flicker]

Hi developers , could you pls allow us to host a game on a server of our choice, because I live in South Africa and when I host a public lobby in South Africa nobody joins,pls and thx and have a nice day

[latent arrow]

We will be moving toward a new way to set up game hosting as our player base grows. Right now we're locking players to lowest latency until we have better service side infrastructure to allow for this.

The more support we get the faster we can get here 🙂 As a free to play game, we're actually already running as lean as we can get. Moving to this system will become financially viable in the near future.

But we hear you! Loud and clear!

[fossil flicker]

Alright thanks 👋🏾

[willow knoll]

I can confirm that the Atom Blaster, despite the description, does not leave no evidence.

[chrome inlet]

in my opinion the default movement speed is a bit too fast, a lot of people just use it because it's default but it makes the game feel like it needs to be rushed.

[timber obsidian]

if you host your own game, you can always set it to slow

[sour lantern]

Like the vulture, let the dodo see where dead bodies are?

[lapis pier]

Finding bodies to eat is essential for the vulture to win, but it isn’t for the dodo, so I feel like that isn’t necessary, but that might just be me

[ocean vector]

that was BetterCrewLink 😛

[green spruce]

Perhaps allow the vulture a long-cooldown ability to "detect" a body, if there is no body the skill is greyed out.

[near ridge]

Having weird task issues in game. Someone said they couldn't get TV antenna to move after reopening and closing it. I couldn't place the bottom right box on the storage task for the first two tries but it let me on the third.

[obtuse meteor]

Dodo should give full credit for a quick win game, even if short, as long as its not bugging...

[lavish lynx]

Please remove the ready up feature, or allow the host to force start if the majority are ready. So many people hold game hostage from starting by not readying, esp if the host hasn't set the setting EXACTLY the way the player wants them. If they are gonna be that picky they should host their own games and not be able to hold lobbies hostage. The ready feature makes getting into a game take so much longer than necessary.

[latent arrow]

Host has ability to kick

[scarlet ledge]

host does have the option to just kick

XD and of course shawn beat me to the draw

[latent arrow]

Would love to, but this will encourage silver farming groups to form.

[lavish lynx]

Yes but if you aren't the host you're still being held hostage. Took over 15 mins to get into one game that actually started yesterday because of people not readying. Even when you do host and kick them more who don't ready join it just seems like an unnecessary feature. Other than that I love everything else about the game so far once I actually get into a match to play!

[latent arrow]

It would be worse if you joined and auto started without knowing what game mode/rules you were playing with.

The host has the ultimate ability to control the start of the game

We may include this in private games in the future, but definitely not for public.

[obtuse meteor]

^I agree, can't count how many games I join and they threaten to kick when I can't even see if I wanna play that lobby's rules.

[near ridge]

Not really a bug but it just looks bad - if you do a multi-part task during a sabotage the second/third part of the task shows up below the sabotage on task list and definitely feels like it should keep them from mixing.

and more importantly it bugs me to death to see this.

[pallid torrent]

Was gonna say, Among Us has those issues too. If you do a multi-part task and a sabotage is called, the arrow leading you to the next part is still there. But then I remembered GGD doesn't use arrows to guide you to the next part

[latent arrow]

GGD does use arrows to guide you.

If you click on a task it will guide you with arrows.

[light swallow]

is this real?

[viral coyote]

It looks real to me

#816356997564727367 message

There is a post about it on our Twitter and #816356997564727367

[light swallow]

oh ok I was just wondering because there are a lot of fake bots like this on discord

it worked so can confirm it's real 👍

[viral coyote]

Yeah no worries, better to be safe than sorry!

[green spruce]

@light swallow This one is super real! You get a nice little gradient jumper with our logo on it 😄

[light swallow]

yeah it looks cool

[fossil gyro]

i hope when this game is finished its get popular

[lapis pier]

This game will never finish, it's an ever-evolving beast!

[regal ridge]

the spinning goose bodies in space are wonderful

[regal ridge]

this though

on black swan

he's completely under there

[latent arrow]

yes

[regal ridge]

got it

under the doors above the ship!

[latent arrow]

This is a feature

[vast blaze]

Dead Ducks calling Doors as ghosts is OP...

[regal ridge]

lol

[vast blaze]

we have a Duck voted out early and just keeps killing everyone in Storage.

[regal ridge]

it is

um...that's me

[vast blaze]

yup

should be either impossible or give the dead only half.

😛

[regal ridge]

if you go in cargo you're gunna die

[vast blaze]

if I was coding, I would make the second half of that impossible for ghosts

😛

[timber obsidian]

There are ways to play around it

but i can certainly understand why it would seem overpowered

[scarlet ledge]

I don't see it as overpowered as there are ways to combat it

If you do that task early on then you can't get shut in, or if you do it right after doors close then open

[regal ridge]

computer screens aren't on but cams are on

sus

[somber thicket]

Trying to invite a friend to the duckscord, but the link is not working

[timber obsidian]

@somber thicket try https://discord.gg/eECWfZRV

[green spruce]

what is the new gamemode called dine and dash?

[final mulch]

Two teams. Strategy and trust. Morphling ducks vs falcons and vultures. Ducks need to find ducks & prove themselves by morphing and then win by hunting out the falcon and stopping vultures from eating bodies and reducing the timer. Falcons and vultures win by surviving the timer.

[cyan heron]

If you can find a group of people who want to play this way... I find that most people just want to kill everything until the game ends

[latent arrow]

We have an update to the rule set 🙂

[jolly wigeon]

What is it

;:/

[elder sail]

Can you stop the application from taking control of the microphone volume, it's really screwing up the volume

[latent arrow]

In our next patch we are changing our entire audio set up to help people who allow software to take control of their hardware (this is a setting)

[elder sail]

i have that sound setting disabled but it still does it

[latent arrow]

This could be rooted in the hardware profile inside of the driver itself 😦

Our next patch should fix this

[gentle bobcat]

I started playing with some friends and the game is really nice and in general it feels great. I was wondering (and sorry for asking this in this channel, i'm not so sure where should I put this) is there by any chance a translation going for the game in spanish? Cheers from Argentina

[latent arrow]

We do have plans to translate the game as it grows.

[prime torrent]

sussy duckpostor

[celest venture]

Can we get an audible ticking or something for the last 10 seconds of voting?

[latent arrow]

There is a music track

it will signify when your time is running out

[celest venture]

most people have the music off. When you play for 4 hours, that's the first thing to go

[latent arrow]

^^^ This is personal preference, the music is just humming ambient. I can take away the music and add sfx but some players do the opposite 😦

[willow knoll]

I spend a lot of time in the menu, alt tabbed, waiting for a lobby code, since often you don't have time to start the game when a code appears. So yeah, music is off!

[inner sage]

I'd like to drop a small suggestion. The ability to decide the audio output for voice chat to another device, similar to how we can choose the input for our mic. This would be important to those who want to record multiple audio tracks allowing to separate game audio from chat audio, providing more flexibility on post editing.

For example, I personally record for YouTube, have my mic on 1 track, game audio on a 2nd track and Discord audio on a 3rd track. GGD has proximity chat built in which means game and chat audio has to be on the same track.

[latent arrow]

We are working on a an entirely new voice com system

we will let you know

[inner sage]

Excellent

[celest venture]

maybe a compromise of just making the last 10 seconds turn red?

[unreal goblet]

I'm not sure where to report this sorry if this is the incorrect room

[sick verge]

@unreal goblet report and/or block them. We used a predetermined list that is constantly evolving

right place I just don't want the word in here, but I noted it thanks

[unreal goblet]

No problem 👍

[minor tundra]

some people in a game today were lamenting a lack of name highlight to go with speaking during a game as with several strange geese in a room it's not always obvious who's talking

[latent arrow]

This breaks the morphling role

[brave trench]

I agree... Would be nice if we could choose to set all (or some) of the ducks as Sheriff to not having all ducks kill everyone wildly 🙂

[vale kite]

Just a suggestion, but it would be great if there was a way to set a different region than your own as default. There are never any games in my region during the hours I am online, and I have to switch all the time to a different region, would just be great to set that as default instead of having to switch all the time. 🇦🇺 Edit to add: or at the very least show ALL regions of a particular language on the one page. There really dont seem to be enough public games to have them all split up into regions.

[lapis pier]

They will work on a different way of setting up game hosting as the player base grows. At the moment, as a free to play game, they are doing as well as they can. The more support the game gets, the faster this change can happen ^^

[green spruce]

Can you guys do a like, video of a new role, sneak peak map or something and show the like controls for each role for example ctrl= sabotages and all that

[timber obsidian]

@green spruce #🗺︱map-ideas message is a sneak peek of an upcoming map and game mode

[hybrid narwhal]

This is more feedback for the server rather than the game. But please include “game codes only” for a chat vs a LFG chat. I’ll type “looking for current open lobbies” and it gets deleted.

Gets kinda frustrating when you are looking for game codes and the previous ones have older time stamps and your message still gets deleted that you’re looking for current lobbies….

Just sayin.

[lapis pier]

Any codes posted in the lfg channels are open to join, if there are no codes then there are no lobbies (or no open lobbies).
An LFG chat channel will probably be added later ^^

[obtuse meteor]

Is there a way to have chat pop up in public games? VC people tend to forget about text chat and we go unheard ingame.

[latent arrow]

I would create a text chat lobby if you're finding people ignoring you.

We do make notifications but how we do popups aren't a bad idea

When we redesign our VOTE screen we can definitely do it

[obtuse meteor]

many of us without mics like to play with those with, some of us are shy or have broken equipment 😛

[neat pawn]

i just bought standard pack and didnt get golden baby goose? itll happen further?

[crimson needle]

I’ve purchased a pack or a gold coin bundle, but they aren’t in my account!

When you make a purchase through steam, steam will first authenticate the transaction and place your funds in your steam wallet. Once the funds are there, attempt to purchase the pack or gold coin bundle again. Restart your client, and your purchased items should be on your account.

[lone pumice]

can we make a third part to the "meetings" like the first 15-20 seconds be Host talk where the rest are muted....?

[latent arrow]

We are thinking of making this an option

[scarlet ledge]

would definitely be a good indicator of the host being silenced XD

[sharp flume]

Loving how good PTT works at the moment, however I would love the ability to change my keybind as it's hard to press T whilst moving as I'm not one to walk with my mouse. WSAD FPS player issues

[scarlet ledge]

Nevermind i'll let chris answer XD

[sick verge]

no no I'll delete Kitzah have at er

[scarlet ledge]

lol

oh for crying out loud, they are planning that feature to come out

now vampz is going to see the ping and wonder what message it was XD

is starting to think you're actually loki, not thor at all

[sharp flume]

I saw the ping

but it being removed makes me think it's actually not now

I'm joking thank you, that'd be amazing

[sick verge]

nah just showing I trust you

[scarlet ledge]

just trying to be helpful where i can, if i actually know the answer at any rate

[regal ridge]

so....

Once upon a time, there were six geese on a ship. Two geese were lovers, one was some type of goose, then we had a dodo, a morphing duck, and a vulture. The non lover goose died first. There was a bit of a back and forth on who the duck was, as a dodo was mudding the waters. Yet eventually the truth came out yet the lovers and the vulture skipped voting as they all wanted a win. The lovers hid in a corner as the duck chased the vulture around, yet eventually ventured out to find out if they were fathers or if the lover they'd shared a corner with had cheated them out of an egg. As they rushed towards medical to find their answers they were given a scare by a rushing dodo, but continued on their way while breathing sighs of relief. Yet as they went into medical at last the vulture ran by screaming for help with no duck in sight. Thinking themselves lucky the lovers found that they were indeed fathers and planning to sneak back to their lovely corner in reactor.

The moment the first lover stepped out of the medical room the duck ran up and sliced their head right off their feathery body, and the remaining lover instantly pierced their handy katana into their heart to accompany their lost lover. All the geese were dead.

The duck ran off to look for another victim, no doubt pleased with themselves, and not a moment later the vulture rushed down the corridor with the dodo hot on their heels. The vulture snapped up a corpse, yet the dodo reported the remainder before they could eat the next.

A meeting was called, the members three. A dodo, a duck, and a vulture they be. They paused in thought, all knowing who the others were and realizing that the geese were gone. Curiously they all teamed up, voting the duck off!

Three dead geese, won the game as a confused ghost flock.

was hilarious

[patent vigil]

Wonderful storytime

[spiral atlas]

Please update #live-birds with the new roles!

[zinc mountain]

True true

[sick verge]

#850063497877913630 and #live-birds have been updated thanks for the reminder

[ocean vector]

Which way would I flick the sensitivity option on the microphone to have it pick up more?

[restive torrent]

sonic speed? https://clips.twitch.tv/CloudyTangibleEyeballDancingBaby-f3pCTPvhSGuEheG_

[ocean vector]

That's the new speed run mode.

[pure pumice]

to the right for more. left For less

[ocean vector]

Not sure why but sometimes some players' voices comes across like they are 200% louder than everyone else. Seems to happen when they join lobbies I think

When I open settings it seems to go back to normal

[pure pumice]

sometimes it does reset initially when they join

[zinc mountain]

We have a fix for this coming soon

[hybrid folio]

What am I supposed to do with GGD windows 0.13.0?

[zinc mountain]

Hi there, you just unzip it and then run the GGD executable. We have our typical installation file coming back soon 🙂

[brisk flame]

i wish there was proximity chat in public lobbies

[timber obsidian]

@brisk flame We're in an evaluation period of sorts testing voice with public lobbies.

[green spruce]

0.13.0 Everyone's microphone audio quality is heavily distorted to the point of being nearly inaudible

[timber obsidian]

you're in choji's game right? are you the only one with this problem?

i'm on her stream and people are coming through okay

[green spruce]

I may be, Other's are saying its fine, I will download a recording software if it persists and share

[tepid relic]

guys the new update is awesome but the sound is horrible. for the most part its distorted. its not for all as lotus is experiencin but it is there a lot.

im in chojis game too

[green spruce]

others are saying it's distorted as well in Choji's lobby

[green spruce]

The audio in this test is not as bad as in live games but it is still noticeably distorted compared to the previous version of the game. When multiple people are talking in live games the distortion combines with the background noise of others to then cause the audio to be significantly worse.

[fresh grove]

Feedback regarding pigeon as it is presented in prospective birds: With the clause requiring that all living players be infected in a single round, their win condition is stamped out by different issues outside of their control: in the early game there's nothing to do because any attempt at progress is wiped clean when any body is found or any meeting is called, in lategame (with none voted out) the ducks have a numbers advantage and they'll simply win before the pigeon can wait out their cooldown enough times to tag everyone, in lategame with only 1 duck remaining, their win condition still winds up being wiped clean during every meeting but this poses the most apparently-fair scenario for a pigeon win due to the mutual benefit that the duck has for bodies not being found quickly (with the duck having the advantage due to having a kill button), in an endgame with no ducks alive, the geese can metagame by keeping track of how long the round is going and calling an emergency meeting multiple times to wipe pigeon progress clean and then win on tasks.

[timber obsidian]

@fresh grove valid points! we havent really started on it at all yet, so no worries

[fresh grove]

Figured I'd pitch some input anyway, for consideration

[steady fable]

The quality of voice chat is worse since update. Tinny and echo-y.

[sick verge]

new patch is currently in beta so should be improved on soon. Until then I would have people adjust the mic settings in the meantime

[steady fable]

thank you for reponse.

[spice heart]

So... I almost can't play because about nobody plays on US West and I can't join friends in US east cuz I can't switch region searching

nvm room codes exist

[night timber]

What I dislike since the new update is, that i cant see the public roomnames, since I really enjoyed playing in a specific room. The same people played in that room, and I dont have any way of contacting those people. I mean there is literally no reason to name a room now, when noone sees it anyway. Moreover, I really liked the option to see were the server was located. I also think the ping is glichted now, previously when I played on us server the ping was about 100-200 now it is says 4000 ping, I doubt that is true. Voice used to sound way better before the update too. Something that is better now is that both maps run smooth now, before the update one of the maps used to run really laggy.
i want to know whether it (no roomname before joining) will stay like this.. i might quit the game if it does.

[viral coyote]

Please remember we are in the beta/early access phase for GGD. This will mean several different configurations and layouts within GGD. We listen to everyone's feedback and we are trying to address any issues identified with the past versions that have already been released to make a better well rounded product for launch.

[elder wigeon]

For the Spy role, I feel it would be better to put the role under the name instead of rename the person. I mainly use names to identify people and I have been confused who people are talking about or struggled to call someone out, especially if I have to use colours and say grey/dark grey / light grey.

[quasi elm]

We tried out Dine and Dash in 7 & 8 player games last night. Hilariously chaotic fun. A game mode with a timer and no meetings or tasks makes for very fast paced games and with localized chat encourages frantic collaborating among the red team or quick deception by the blue team. It's also a good fallback game option for when it feels like there's too few people to play a regular game with 2 ducks. Nice work!

Question: Is the blue team limited to a single Falcon in 6+ player games or is there some player count where blue team gets a 2nd Falcon?

[sick verge]

with enough players, the blue team gains a vulture that decreases the timer time by consuming bodies. Glad you're enjoying it

[lapis pier]

the timer time

[timber obsidian]

@elder wigeon this is an intentional drawback to the role. If you investigate people willy nilly and forget who you're referring to, you will out yourself

[quasi elm]

Thanks Chris. Are you saying that with larger games the blue team has 2 vultures and 1 falcon?

[sick verge]

Blue team will only consist of 1 vulture and 1 falcon max

[quasi elm]

Thanks for the clarification. Btw, the in-game description says the blue team starts with a vulture and gains a falcon in games with more than 6 players, so I assume that in a 6 player game, it's 5 ducks vs 1 vulture and the vulture depends on ducks killing each other if the vulture wants to eat or else the vulture just has to run and hide. Or is the in-game description wrong and Blue team starts with a Falcon and gains a vulture at more than 6 players as you said?

[sick verge]

game description is correct, I stated mine backwards START with vulture, GAIN a falcon

[reef burrow]

I really like how we can have the compass/map out during discussion time, its Super helpful when people havent fully memorized the room names on the map,
however, from what Ive seen, most groups have way more voting time than discussion time, so it would be Really nice if that feature where u can look at the map during the meeting would also be there for Voting and not Just Discussion.

[latent arrow]

This has been recommended and then requested to be removed because people accidentally click on people to vote instead of the map 🙂

[dry wind]

I personally like making the discussion time longer than voting for my lobbies. I think it just comes to personal preferences, I know people like Herbert would rather have both discussion and voting be 1 second long each. I think having the map disappear definitely adds a layer of strategy to potentially run the clock out before people can get a firm grasp on everyone's position. If you'd like the discussion time longer, you can either politely ask the host to increase it, for the purposes of viewing the map longer, or you can just create your own lobby to get the timers exactly how you'd like them.

I would like an additional option that allows only the host of the meeting to talk for x amount of time, and a seperate adjustment for buttons and body report discussions.

[timber obsidian]

hey for the record

i'm for efficiency of conversation

i dont need everyone's life story every button press

[dry wind]

I don't disagree, that's why for body reports I would like to have more time, and then for button pushes, I would like less time!

[lapis pier]

There there Herbert. Some people like to make friends, or have their shrink session during GGD meetings. Maybe you should try it one time.

[dry wind]

I swear at the next beta test, if herbert starts telling me about how he dropped his toast butter side down during a meeting...

[timber obsidian]

pay for your mental health you cheapskates

dont abuse the free button pushes!

[dry wind]

I thought everything was free in canada!

[timber obsidian]

just subsidized

your taxes pay for emergency button pushes

[sick verge]

You get what you pay for in Canada

[dry wind]

I've unfortunately heard that is the case in most situations :/

[timber obsidian]

no its not

go pay for your $9000 xray, CHUMPS

[dry wind]

ROFL

[lapis pier]

Xizta needs both xray and a shrink after being hit with Herbert's sushi rolls

[dry wind]

I changed my profile pic.

[timber obsidian]

delicious sushi rolls

i haven't had sushi in literally two years

[dry wind]

I mean, I'm allergic to seafood, so I would be going to a hospital.

[timber obsidian]

there's always tamago

[dry wind]

This is true.

[brave trench]

my last operation bill was $14... just some small stuff, but still 😆

[scarlet ledge]

Sushi rolls hit xizta so hard he seems to have dropped eggs behind him

[dry wind]

I had to buy another 5 more of those exact blue shirts to make sure I can forever stream wearing blue shirts.

[willow olive]

sometimes you can get silenced before dying, causing you to be unable to chat even as a ghost. this small and rare bug should be fixed, though it's not a major issue.

[lapis pier]

You are only silenced for the duration of the first meeting, which is fine. If you are silenced longer than that, it is a bug

[brave trench]

I'll try it later if i can get some to try it with me... and I am silencer 🙂

[clear hull]

I also prefer much longer discussion times because if you accuse someone, and have a short discussion time, people tend to immediately latch on to them before they can defend themselves. I've found longer discussion times can lead to people actually getting to talk before everyone votes!

Though wouldn't mind maybe a "hurry" button like in push the button 😂 if everyone hits it, it immediately would go to vote.

Also for the map, what if the compass was replaced with a circle showing like the mini map, not as much, just maybe the room name and that you're there? Just more zoomed in?

I personally will keep an image of a new map saved on my phone in case I need it when voting begins though

[spiral atlas]

GGD stickers for Discord?

[chrome rampart]

Can I suggest full controller support? like i know it's hard to implement but it would make the game appeal to a wider audience and feel more casual in its style of gameplay.

[cyan heron]

Key bindings coming in the future @chrome rampart

[cedar sun]

I love this game

😉

[wispy silo]

votekicks?

cuz sometimes the leader is afk and someone is just being annoying

[lapis pier]

Are you asking if we have votekicks in game? If so, then yes. I haven’t tried it since beta testing, so I don’t actually remember how many you need, but I think it’s 4?
This is what happens when irl stuff distracts you for too long… 😫😅

[timber obsidian]

@wispy silo you can vote kick someone in public games. in private games, follow the rules of the host, and/or make your own game

[hearty inlet]

Would love to suggest a settings save option! (If we switch to other modes or close the game, the last settings used still remain)

[latent arrow]

This is something that is not actually that trivial but is high on our list 🙂

[thick orchid]

It'd be nice if "confirmable" tasks were removed from mimic's list. If someone sees you do cams/intercom that's an instant out on you making one of the hardests roles even harder to achieve through the mid->late game

[lapis pier]

As a mimic you just have to be careful not to do hardclear tasks in front of people you’re not sure are geese 🤷‍♀️

[cyan heron]

I've suggested this in the past and I think it may be in the works, but not high priority. Thank you for your input!

[thick orchid]

You have to do it in front of no one, because geese WILL clear you, which outs you as mimic to the others. Its not exactly a favorable situation having hardclears when you need to be suspicious to buy the trust of the ducks.

[lapis pier]

Well if you trust them, tell them not to hard clear you for all to know

Granted that is difficult in a public lobby though

[rigid halo]

Hey guys, I'd love to suggest a change to the yellow icon used to tell who is talking, and also a way to tell in game. the icon isnt obvious enough, and its very hard to tell who is talking a lot of the time.

[timber obsidian]

Sounds like you want to simultaneously seem like a duck and a goose! Sounds tricky to navigate, but i'd make the argument that this dynamic is part of the skill cap of the role, as opposed to something we need to balance by altering the mimic task pool

[hallow sundial]

It would be really nice to have more resolution options. I don't like playing games in full screen, but when I exit full screen the game still takes up the entire screen.

[latent arrow]

Will be added in a future update 🙂

[stuck reef]

Did y'all know the bridge vent in "SS Black Swan" isn't connected to the other ducts?

It can make airlock kills a bit more difficult.

[sick verge]

We did know that, airlock kill is still doable

[lapis pier]

Who said it should be easy

[obtuse meteor]

thought about people joining games readied up already? often the joiners get spam yelled at by people to ready up before they load

[latent arrow]

Imagine joining a game and immediately being put into the game without knowing how many players etc 😛

Not a good experience.

[obtuse meteor]

doesn't it say that before joiningthough?

[latent arrow]

No

[obtuse meteor]

i was thinking public lobbies with that thought,s ry

[fresh grove]

My group has gotten to meta-sus players that stand still when approaching mid-late game since opening the sabotage menu forces a duck to stop walking and most geese have zero reason to ever stop moving if they aren't on a task or using ship systems like security or intercom, which are both verifiable. Any hope to dispel that restriction in a way that doesn't break parity between mouse-only users and people who use keyboard?

[scarlet ledge]

there's already something for that

the dodo

[timber obsidian]

Probably not. Maybe do your sabotages while faking tasks?

[fresh grove]

it'd be pretty suspicious of me to still have tasks in mid-late game to begin with. I usually rely on my dead partner if it gets to that point to mask it.

[sick verge]

its pretty suspicious to do anything at anytime in some peoples eyes

[scarlet ledge]

"oh look, you went to do wires, that's very sus so i'm going to kill us both" ~The Sheriff....entirely too many times

[ocean vector]

Do fake tasks net materials?

[lapis pier]

Yes

[fringe nymph]

Knowing it only takes 3 over ripened bananas to make a banana bread, I would love to see a task where you collect the bananas out of the trash and make a banana loaf! in the oven in the kitchen.! I hate seeing 3 bananas in the trash ! Reduce Reuse REcycle!

[clear hull]

Compost bin!

[woeful garnet]

Can we make is so that people who just use keyboard run at the same speed as those using mouse/keyboard? the people using mouse can run faster and i think its a very unfair advantage to those who dont

[latent arrow]

It's the same speed.

[slim crag]

Hi, this game is really amazing. But I sometimes find it a little hard to play due to the fact that I'm new and I'm not used to video games overall.
I was just thinking of a "beginner mode" switcher in the settings that changed the UI by highlighting the tasks area with yellow and have a little yellow arrow for the nearest task (as in among us), what do you think of this?

[viral coyote]

Commented on this in general please don't copy and paste between all channels

[dry wind]

Thank you for your feedback! A lot of new roles and game modes have been added since the tutorial was originally created. I believe the devs are currently at work on a new tutorial.

[dry wind]

I believe someone directed him ti post it here, I was actually about to delete the message in that channel so it was here where it probably should be instead.

[slim crag]

my bad, I forgot to delete it from the other channel after someone told me to post it here instead

[scarlet ledge]

Ya, I suggested they post it here instead as it seemed more fitting, so you can blame me

[final mulch]

You can also learn the tasks and maps under explore mode at your own pace. Open the game, create a private game and select explore at the top of the screen.

[woeful garnet]

its not though. people run faster than me who use mouse to move than if i just use keyboard only

[latent arrow]

It is the same method that is being called.

[lapis pier]

I have never heard anyone having an issue with this, and the only thing that slows me down when using keys is getting caught on every wall ever x)

[empty basalt]

It only seems faster because it's more accurate. You dont have to stop to turn or turn a wee bit you move more smoothly giving perceptions of speed

[cyan heron]

People using a mouse are able to run diagonally and corner more easily since you can move your character in any direction where as WASD only lets you move in 8 directions.

[timber obsidian]

its a hexagonal world, and we just live in it

[mental girder]

Hello,is it possible to add support for azerty keyboards or the possibility to do keybindings?

[latent arrow]

Keyboard binding is on our list of future features

We are doing a full rework of our entire UI system in the future

[mental girder]

i see

thank you

[gritty condor]

what about arrows?

[cyan heron]

[misty quartz]

Hello Gaggle!

Id just like to leave some positive feedback.

I very much enjoy your game, along with a group of friends I play with. Passing the minimal bugs, we enjoy the laughs we all get when playing together, and we love the change of pace from other "competing" games.

We fine the roles hilarious (I'm Canadian so it's extra funny to be Canadian Goose) and I couldn't be more happy with the frog outfit, hilarious!

The latest updates that changed the game selection, to the new roles, was brilliant in my opinion and we look forward to seeing this game grow, and flourish with new updates and changes!

I'll be sure to leave a steam review now, as I've played enough hours to easily say its been a very positive experience.

Thanks again for building this game, community, and place of laughter.

[sick verge]

Thank you so much for this feedback We always love seeing such positivity within the community. We couldn't do it without you amazing Geese (and ducks). Lots more to come! More laughs to be had!

[lunar sinew]

I love this game but, I feel as if morphling should 1. lose their sample when the sample dies (or have the ability to trash the sample with a cooldown reset) and 2. they should not keep the morphed pet after demorph, when they randomly change pets halfway through the lobby its a big giveaway

[zealous wren]

So I was just playing a game and the morphling's pet doesnt change to the other player's pet they morphed into so it as a dead giveaway and hurt the experience. also i agree with the suggestion above of sample dying after the person dies

[latent arrow]

This is being fixed in the patch we're planning to release tonight

thanks for the feedback

[brave trench]

I really like how it works now (minus the pet bug of course). Even if you look at it as a disguise or a biological morphing, you would still have the disguise or the original DNA drawn from the source and wouldn't need the original to be alive to be able to use it. I think it's fine as it is 🙂

[regal ridge]

why does the tiny goose in the biolab..... have a bellybutton/hole in the stomach...

[timber obsidian]

The pet bug's fixed

I see this issue as more of a part of the skill cap of the morphling. It's an advanced role, and if you walk up to someone, sample them, and then kill them, it's very likely you've made some bad choices.

[lunar sinew]

I can see that, I still think a trash the sample feature would be nice, especially since the sample persists over rounds and currently requires you hiding in a corner till the morph expires in order to clear preventing you doing anything
also cheers on the pet bug being fixed!

[willow knoll]

Wait, morphling sample persists after meetings? So you get one sample and that's it? So you or your partner can't kill the first player you sampled?

[sick verge]

You have a sample until you use it. You can morph into a dead player. If you want to get rid of your sample you can hide in a room and use the sample

[willow knoll]

This is a great mechanic! So, new sample every time.

[modern mountain]

I have a question

How do i play with the special roles

[sick verge]

The host of the lobby can set the active special roles. If you are the host, be sure to enable the special roles you want into the game through the computer in the center of the lobby.

[modern mountain]

Thanks

[obsidian bramble]

So there's a bug, we JUST had

Where none of us could see the map

I couldn't do tasks nor vent as mechanic goose

Nor vote xD

Sorry if this is the wrong channel for it

[latent arrow]

No it is not the wrong channel, you could put this in bug reports

we're currently trying to hunt down this bug that can appear in some games (we've seen it occur a number of times so it is high on our list of bugs to fix). The next game should be fixed.

[obsidian bramble]

Well if it helps, I've noticed it happens when people ready up RIGHT before the game gets started

Or when people ready and then UNREADY when the game starts

[latent arrow]

We will try to replicate this

[obsidian bramble]

Wooo, hope it helps!

[teal latch]

Maybe im missing something, but is there no way to see if youve infected someone as pigeon besides just walking up on them and trying? if not I feel that could be very helpful

[sick verge]

You can't infect the same person twice. In my opinion, a visual indicator would make it too easy for the pigeon to win

[latent arrow]

We were able to isolate the reason for the error. Thank you kindly. We will be fixing it tonight and patching it for tomorrow morning (fingers crossed).

[near ridge]

Is there any potential changes made to the Pigeon role and people you've infected? I know you can't re-infect them but it seems like a lot to keep track of who you infect each round.

Would be super helpful if people's names turned to like a yellow or something if they've been infected for the round.

Oh, I should read

Lmao

Straight up above me.

[latent arrow]

With an indication it is WAY too easy. 🙂

[obtuse meteor]

I see you guys became Golden Geese lol

[sick verge]

the colour of sheriffs

[green spruce]

this is the best murder mystery ive ever played keep up the good work

[wispy silo]

if you get duck maybe say if there's a mimic or not cuz if you don't check the host can just lie

so like the normal screen

(ROLE) DUCK kill with your buddy but beware there's a mimic about

or something like that

[twin spindle]

can u please make the ant task at the new map more easier? i don't know if it is a lag or i just i need accuracy of a god but it taking to much time...

[lapis pier]

It takes a little bit to get the hang of it, but once you're used to the task, it doesn't really take that long. There are plenty that takes longer imo - though you are very exposed to bypassing murderers...

[timber obsidian]

There's also no penalty for missing ants

Just click all over the place

[balmy steeple]

wasd is swapped

for me

[latent arrow]

As in S goes up?

and D goes left?

If we cant identify a hardware issue/software issue You could get two mirrors to solve this issue.

[split olive]

Love the new two-part map! There's so much I love about it! With that said, though, there is one thing I don't like. When doing tasks on the docking areas, there's no warning that the shuttle is on its way, and if you stop the task midway, it resets. It makes it so that I don't want to do the task unless I'm already dead, since it's just a huge risk, and the odds of successfully pulling off the task without dying is minimal (mind you, only played it in 16-people lobbies, where there is basically constantly people going back and forth). I would like either some kind of warning that the shuttle is in transit, or, preferrably, that the task didn't reset, so I could do it partway, step aside and then continue it when I don't think that there is coming a shuttle. Or maybe I'm just missing something?

[obsidian bramble]

Ok ok, this new map is absolutely stunning

And the balance around it is very interesting

So. Many. Plants. 🤤

[balmy steeple]

yes it is

[lapis pier]

Thanks for the great feedback, we're happy to hear you love it!
The shuttle involves a little risk that makes the game fun for most people, but if you go do your task as soon as the shuttle sets off, you should have plenty of time to get the task done and get out of the way, even if the shuttle goes straight back

[rough gorge]

okay so i realised kind of a problem, not so much a problem... BUT... In nexus colony, when the sabotage is called in comms on the right side of the map, we physically could not make it over in time. By the time we made it to the panel, it had like 2 seconds left... and that task as you know, is quite complex. It's impossible to do in 2 seconds... so basically, if you somehow know that everyone is on the left side of map, it's guaranteed easy win for the ducks... ?

[sly peak]

Oh yeah I had that happen to me too. We got stuck in decon too long to actually even get to the sab task as well because it took a good long time to get to the right side of the map.

[rough gorge]

^ yeah and having to use the shuttle. There isn't enough time, kind of a flaw...

[sly peak]

I forget how long the sab is but I personally think it should be upped by about 20-30s to give a bigger room of error/less luck based.

[rough gorge]

i feel like the only way to get around that is to get lucky and have someone on the right side of the map (which is not so common later game) OR have a mechanic...

[sly peak]

Yeah. I think ducks could just easily wait until no one is on the right side, then call it while the shuttle is on their side.

Unless you could teleport both ways? but i thought it was just one way.

[rough gorge]

i thought it was possible but I've not seen it 😂

[balmy steeple]

Love the game, although me and my friends have said that we're kind of annoyed that its not randomly generated and we keep getting the same roles.

[rough gorge]

It definitely is randomly generated, it's just a roll of the dice. you just so happened to get the same role again...

[sly peak]

I also notice that sometimes too but I think it's just bad luck^ Sometime's ill get the same role a few times in a row

[latent arrow]

Its 100% random.

I will personally fight anyone who says otherwise.

[balmy steeple]

we've had the same people get the same roles for 6 rounds in a row

bad luck

[latent arrow]

I would be more concerned if people at some points didnt get the same role a few times in a row.

[balmy steeple]

Also do the maps have variant rotations?

[latent arrow]

No, the way we do our perspectives prevent this. We opted for the ability to create more maps faster.

[balmy steeple]

makes sense

[timber obsidian]

There is a warning!

you can check the button to see if the shuttle is in transit. And if you still want to brave it, you'll know when the shuttle gets near because the forcefield will drop

[latent arrow]

Aslo you can send the shuttle and proceed to do the task with 15s+ of guaranteed safety

[compact jacinth]

i have no idea what the role could do but maybe a parrot role

[split olive]

Really? I haven't seen it. What is the warning?

[timber obsidian]

this

"you can check the button to see if the shuttle is in transit. And if you still want to brave it, you'll know when the shuttle gets near because the forcefield will drop"

[crimson notch]

Regarding the shuttle, the little blue force field will turn off when the shuttle approaches. If you react quickly you have plenty of time to get off the platform before being squished.

[split olive]

I'll have to play that map some more, and try to see if I can see that. Because I didn't see it at all when I was playing, despite looking for it since I thought that would've been a natural solution

(More likley than not something I missed)

[ocean vector]

Is there any way to know when someone has become infected when playing as pigeon?

[crimson notch]

No

But you can't infect the same player twice in the same round, so if the infect button doesn't activate near someone, you've already sneezed on them you dirty bird.

[rough gorge]

can't help it, it's allergies

SOCIAL DISTANCING!

[rustic heron]

I don't know if the algorithm is bugged but I managed to become a duck in nexus colony on Goose hunt three times in a row.

[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.

it is 100% random.

[scarlet ledge]

I've been morphling 7 times in a row at one point XD

not duck, specifically morphling, so ya, it's random

[quasi elm]

That's impressive! Do you recall the size of your lobby when that happened?

[crimson notch]

I was lover goose six times in a row one night in beta group, it is what it is

[rustic heron]

I played the common courtesy and let somebody else have the role

[scarlet ledge]

Full lobby of 16

[lone pumice]

is there a path to get the content creator role here in discord?

[lapis pier]

What do you mean?

[crimson needle]

How do I get the Streamer Role?

Generally if the Gaggle crew see consistent streaming schedules with a stable viewership on GGD one of the mods or admins will mark you as streaming.

[finite vault]

I feel like a tab in the settings that is related to keybinds that lets you customize the keybinds to your liking could be nice

[crimson notch]

Keybinds are in an upcoming update

[crimson needle]

I'd like to be able to rebind my keys!

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

[warm kernel]

Please try to fix audio problems

[lapis pier]

What audio problems are you having?

[warm kernel]

some players are louder thatn others

and there is no way to get it all leveled

[lapis pier]

You can adjust individual volume levels in the settings, but there is only so much the game application can control each players mic settings. And some people talk louder than others 🤷‍♀️

[ocean vector]

What conditions trigger the decontamination room on the new map?

[timber obsidian]

chance

alternatively, the higher the number of times you've cheated on your taxes in real life, the higher the odds it will contain you in decontamination to cleanse you

[latent arrow]

Please provide Tax ID number at signup

[wispy island]

I feel like Birdwatcher should not have their vision limited with the lights going off. If you can see through walls, you should be able to see in the dark. Especially because their vision is already impaired.

[latent arrow]

We will be changing how the birdwatcher works slightly in the future

[obsidian bramble]

I've not yet gotten a chance to try out birdwatcher :(

Only pigeon

THo Pigeon feels extremely smooth in terms of gameplay

It's a pure chaos inducing neutral role, and that's great to have

[scarlet ledge]

Roles are assigned randomly, i've only been birdwatcher once in the 12 hours or so i've played since the new update was released

[sullen anchor]

If possible could there be a way to see who you have already infected as pigeon
Maybe eye colour could change or something just so that we are able to see who is left 👍

[scarlet ledge]

This has been brought up a few times, as far as the mechanic goes, pigeon isn't supposed to be super easy, and given that your only real task is to infect people it's on you to remember who you have or haven't infected. Also you do have an indicator, you can't infect someone twice

[crimson needle]

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

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

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

[timber obsidian]

@sullen anchor

[neat pawn]

could you make bug task a little bit easier for players with trackpads/touchpads? I think reducing speed for bugs make this task better for us

[latent arrow]

We can make it easier for touch screens but we can't detect if you don't have a mouse on PC/Desktop

So difficulty scaling for bug smashing is not something we can really do.

[neat pawn]

@latent arrow for macos users?

[latent arrow]

Again, we can't detect if you are using/not using a mouse on a mac.

We can tell if you're on a tablet though.

[rough gorge]

I think it would be a great idea to make it possible to give host to someone else. Instead of it being random if you leave

[cyan heron]

I think the problem with this is that the original host connects to whichever server has the lowest ping. So when you transfer it over, you're potentially putting someone with a much higher ping to that server in charge of a lobby which could cause latency issues for more people in the lobby.

I could be wrong tho

[crimson notch]

But when the original host leaves, doesn't it move on to whoever has been in the lobby the longest? Or does it detect who has a low ping and assign host that way?

[cyan heron]

I know earlier on it was assigning host to the next lowest ping... things may have changed over the past couple months tho.

[crimson notch]

Oh neat!

[compact echo]

Morphling Still Glitched https://clips.twitch.tv/CrepuscularDiligentTermiteOptimizePrime-E266KmhyLab6vECe

[latent arrow]

This will be fixed

[green spruce]

Same. I was thinking today bird watcher should have a bigger vision (not to big)

[wispy island]

I do not like the cooldown on the venting as a Mechanic Goose. It limits his ability in a frustrating manner, which in the words of @latent arrow, makes it an Anti-Fun role.

[timber obsidian]

The mechanic is not meant to have infinite survivability. The cooldown allows for the mechanic to be hunted down

[fossil maple]

Can i like advertise the video about goose goose duck here?

[timber obsidian]

@fossil maple videos go in #🎬︱duckumentaries

@wispy island also, there is no need to ping specific staff. Thanks

[wispy island]

Just wanted to clarify who said it...

[rough gorge]

i thought this too. I thought it was just whoever was in the longest, which means transferring it would be no different in terms of ping

i notice a lot of people saying the flashlight style vision on the birdwatcher makes it less enjoyable to play too. I think it might be better if they have larger vision but the through-wall vision was part of their action button ability, might even it out more.

[lapis pier]

The birdwatcher will likely have a slight rework later ^^

[wispy island]

I like the idea of the flashlight vision, with a few tweaks though. longer, still narrowed vision, but able to see in the dark. either full vision in the dark (like a duck) or full vision when ability use.

[lapis pier]

Next time just write their name without using the @

[wispy island]

one thing that really hurts birdwatcher playstyle is when the game zooms in on the player after they stop moving. makes it hard to look through walls.

[rough gorge]

keep it moving

just dance it off

https://tenor.com/view/yay-yes-yeahhh-cute-girl-happy-dance-gif-14559695

[wispy island]

Yeah, but then the vision tunnel moves

[rough gorge]

that's a totally 100% genuine suggestion and feedback btw

that may be true....

the vision dances with you

"guys, i think King Zelse is the birdwatcher..."
"oh rly? what makes you say that?"
"he keeps dancing..."

[scarlet ledge]

See, I like the mechanic cooldown, it gives me a rush as I try to run and find a vent before a duck comes by and murders me

[scarlet ledge]

Or he is just standing in bridge on the nexus, staring into the showers like some kind of creep XD

[obsidian bramble]

YO THE NEW SKIN IS BOMB

I love these space skins, make you really fit into the map

And it just looks cool af \o /

[near ridge]

I know it's a complete revamp of the end game screen, but it'd be really cool if either in the end screen or the egg bonus screen to reveal all the roles of the players. I know dead people can see the roles but for those that live in the game until the end it would be a nice quality of life and very unimportant addition.

I think the egg screen might be the better option though since user input moves to the next screen so people can study it as much as they desire.

[latent arrow]

We are literally working on this right now

[near ridge]

I will also accept a new Miss Cleo cosmetic personally sent to my account now for my psychic services.

[latent arrow]

also

[green spruce]

I'll be very honest with my feedback, I really like these games that you need to think a lot and use your brain and use tricks to win the game and find who is the duck or find who is the killer.

also, this is first time that I see that developers and managers really like to talk with their players and accpet feedbacks and online for any question.
(I'm sorry about my english xD I hope u understand)

[green spruce]

Awsome! nah nah

thats amazing!

[latent arrow]

Your english is good 🙂

[green spruce]

[lone basin]

the new nexus map is pretty cool and creative

[wispy island]

I very much appreciate the #850063497877913630 channel, even if I don't like all of its content. I would like to see a prospective changes, prospective cosmetics, prospective maps channels added 👍

[dry wind]

There needs to be some surprises lurking to keep people on their toes!

[crimson notch]

Some feedback from a new player tonight, having some type of acknowledgement when you hit the Apply button in settings like a click or the button changing colors

[timber obsidian]

Yup, that's an often requested feature

[worldly scarab]

newish player here- I'd LOVE to see a more detailed post game report explaining were people where at with their role goals, how the win happened, etc. Sometimes I honestly dont know how each side won as I am still learning all the roles and their interactions. a simple game summary at the end would help imo.

[latent arrow]

This is coming in the next patch

we're testing it right now

[quasi elm]

Speaking of... a 2-second kill-cam on loop of the game-ending kill at the results screen would be pretty cool.

Sorry, should have gone in #💡︱general-ideas

[teal latch]

Having played a bit of birdwatcher now im not a big fan. The flashlight isnt really the problem, its that even with the extended view I really cant see much through walls, besides the inside of the wall on the other side

[timber obsidian]

we're buffing it

[teal latch]

good to hear! i think the concept works well, jus a little frustrating at the moment. look forward to it

[humble thorn]

I'm not sure how feasible it is, but perhaps there could be an AFK mode or something? Like something you can toggle or click on so the game knows you're still there. For the people who need to go to the bathroom and take longer than the game is willing to wait.

I left my keyboard last night, and then I came back to the game starting/disconnecting me from being away too long. I was exhausted as it was, so no sweat, but there are probably others who run into the same issue and maybe don't want to have to wait to rejoin their friends.

[near ridge]

Is there any thought as to giving a visual indication to fellow ducks about professional kills? Guessing it's thought to keep it with zero indication?

[timber obsidian]

it is deliberate that bodies are invisible to geese only

[timber obsidian]

they could just wait for you, really

and if they can't, it's up to you to gauge whether or not going afk is 'worth' it

if you're there, you're not afk. you're essentially asking for a button that you can hit when you're afk to indicate that you're not afk... and that doesn't make much sense to me

[dry wind]

Maybe a 5 minute timer in game/lobby is good, but a 10 minute one once your tasks are completed in an active game?

[timber obsidian]

10 minutes could be whole rounds! I don't really see a good reason to cater to people that need to go afk for ten minutes

i'm not saying that there aren't good reasons to go afk

if you desperately need to go to the washroom or your house is on fire, i strongly recommend you deal with that

but you not being able to play a few rounds of GGD is an okay trade-off

[fresh grove]

If youre not ready, why would you hit the ready button? Unless the lobby disbands its not going anywhere

[timber obsidian]

if you're friends with the host, they can lock the lobby, and boot errant people joining

[fresh grove]

If nature is calling dont let it go to voicemail

[timber obsidian]

if the host wouldn't do this for you, i don't think it makes much sense that they would wait for you to come back either

[dry wind]

I definitely have had friends finish tasks in a private game, and step away to go to the bathroom, and get dc'd during the active game before they got back. Kicking them from an active game when their tasks are completed just seems pointless. I know for me when my office was downstairs, 5 minutes would be an impossible timer to get back to, just to take the shortest bio break possible.

As a ghost*

[timber obsidian]

what's the problem then? they can rejoin when they're back

its a private game

[dry wind]

Just frustration, and inconvenience. I don't share in their frustration, just sharing their frustration. Public games it makes all the sense in the world, private games, timing out doesn't make a whole lot of sense other than when someone goes AFK holding the game up (aka living or w/ tasks)

[timber obsidian]

yes, indeed it is inconvenient that the human form is frail and requires bio breaks

[dry wind]

I mean the clear solution is to just move the computer to the bathroom. I hear the acoustics are fantastic.

[lapis pier]

just remember to mute during the bio breaks...

[dry wind]

[timber obsidian]

hey we are coming out with mobile soon

soon you will never have to ever leave ggd

[dry wind]

I know hearthstone allows me to do this, will there be something like this with mobile?

I'm playing a game, something comes up, and I have to run out... so I boot up mobile, it auto logs me out of the PC, and into the mobile app, and keeps me in the active game. Or will this be a one or the other type thing, where you can only switch between rounds?

[timber obsidian]

that i'll have to check

[dry wind]

And obviously switch back again to PC if I need to. I've utilized this feature so many times, as I prefer playing on PC, but then I'm making dinner, and I know I won't be back in the allotted turn time, so I switch to mobile, cook for a bit, and then log back into the pc all within the same active game. It's a nice QoL feature, but not a deal breaker... as I've done 12+ hour GGD streams without ever getting booted from a game. I'm just efficient with my time. 😉

[humble thorn]

I meant more for the game to do so--the game asks if you're still connected after a certain amount of time, and if you're still, say, going to the bathroom and aren't clicking that, it kicks you out?

That's what I meant. If you're gone for a long time, the game kicks you out. It's not a matter of other players waiting for you if you get kicked out just because you had to use the bathroom.

If it's not something you wanna add, that's fine! It was just a suggestion--like I said, it wasn't a big deal for me. I just didn't want someone else to suffer because they dared to wash to their hands for a slightly longer time.

[timber obsidian]

the other players can wait for you because they can kick people entering and lock the lobby, is what i meant

[wispy island]

Not sure if this has been suggested, but maybe a highlight for who you are targeting if you have a kill skill. I know misfires happen a lot because people can't tell who they're targeting.

[dry wind]

I feel like misfires are a great aspect of the game. I like to hide behind other players when I know I'm being targeted for this exact reason.

[quasi elm]

Tonight, I was a goose and the sheriff kept trying to kill me and misfired 3 times and ALL 3 times accidentally killed either a duck or a neutral. Luck = 10.

[wispy island]

I feel Herbert will consider this "Anti-Fun" (he loves that word) because killing the wrong player is frustrating.

[dry wind]

We all give Herbert a hard time, but truth be told, Herbert is someone who has the best idea of what is good for the game. Does that mean he's always right? No. But he is a lot of the time. Part of the reason this game is as good as it is, is because it offers so much counter play. Imagine this scenario: You're the dodo, someone outs you, they don't want to vote you out at the meeting, for obvious reasons, so they convince the sheriff or the vig to take care of you. Without people having the chance to misfire, you now have the sheriff hunting you down. There's no room for counterplay anymore. Without target confirmation, you can go hide in a group of people and hope the sheriff accidentally kills a goose and gets themselves killed, so you still stand a chance of winning. Sure being the sheriff and misfiring is frusterating, but you just have to be more careful with your shots. Being the intended target, that survived the misfire feels extremely satisfying. That's the check balance system that counterplay offers to the game, that makes it fun to keep coming back to.

Did I just compliment Herbert? Sorry I must have blacked out during my response.

[wispy island]

I feel that scenarios where you're glad for a misfire (this includes duck misfires, not just goose) are much less common than scenarios where misfires are apreciated.

Also. you can still cause the sheriff/vig/ducks to kill the wrong person even with an indicator. It happens all the time in Among Us. I'm not saying they need to be able to "Lock on" as it were.

[wispy island]

Taking your scenario and adding a target indicator would not change much. Running around other players, keeping them between you and the person coming after you, and hiding inside of their body are all ways to counterplay someone targeting you.

Also, If someone outs you as dodo, you're not gonna get voted for, therefor you can't win anyways, so what does it matter if you're killed?

Finally (for now) I agree Herbert is an asset to the Gaggle team, but that doesn't make him any less of an asshole XD
He's does a great job keeping the game balanced, but it's definitely frustrating (and therefore anti-fun) having him shutdown your ideas

[dry wind]

I've won many a games as an early outted dodo, by having a sheriff misfire on me, and then I report the sheriff and claimed to have killed him cause he was after me. Always room for counter play if you're good at talking your way out of things.

I don't think Herbert is intentionally trying to make you feel frusterated, but think of how many suggestions get thrown at Herbert, and he tries to be active and engage with everyone. He tries to make the respsonses fun, personal, and unique. Sarcasm is very difficult to detect through text, but let me reassure you, Herbert is never shutting down ideas to be mean, he's being playful, and always has the game's best interest in mind. This game is a lot less serious than Among Us, and I have personally found people get WAY less frusterated playing this game. I understand being very passionate about this game, as I am myself, and I'm very thankful that the devs are extremely interactive and are willing to joke around and treat us all like friends. I sometimes forget I've only known them for a few months, because the way we are all able to joke around with each other, makes them feel like lifelong friends.

[balmy pelican]

Maybe a way to give someone host when the lobby's host leaves so people don't want to give it to a person they want to be host?

[timber obsidian]

hey if i'm coming off as an asshole, I apologize!

if you are curious about more design principles i adhere to, you don't have to ask me though

you can just search my name in the role-deas channel or feedback, and it'll be stuff i have answered a hundred times each

[latent arrow]

This may be something we add in the future.

[clear iris]

Yoooooooo NICE!!!!!!

[hybrid narwhal]

More of a question: Is the 0.99.5 update live? Cause I have the notification on steam for it but no update available

[timber obsidian]

nope super soon

probably today?

[hybrid narwhal]

Ok cool! Thank you! I was just confused by my steam lol

[wary otter]

What's the point of being able to turn off fullscreen if I can't change the size of the window? Kinda frustrating

[lapis pier]

You can still exit the game window and toggle between other applications which is useful. Changing the size of the game window might be implemented later, but it's not a priority atm ^^

[latent arrow]

@wary otter some people play at higher resolutions and only want a windowed version of the game. Window resizing may happen in the near future.

[carmine cloud]

I like Gaggles discord server cause they're active. How I know that is they respond to the community, update us on game updates, and like to mess around with roles because the changed my role to goose even though I reacted to the duck role. 10/10 server.

[viral coyote]

Is the goose army cheating?

[dry wind]

I'm the morphling.

[viral coyote]

Long live ducks!

[cyan heron]

Resizable window mode! Our prayers have been heard!

[timber obsidian]

a certain unnamed member of the gaggle staff might be quietly altering the duck/goose roles of the people who keep mentioning them

[queen wagon]

you guys get goose duck roles?

lucky

[regal ridge]

I knew it was herbert

[regal ridge]

I still love you all though

[near ridge]

Given how the pigeon works currently, they basically force the geese and ducks to hit the button periodically which isn't really a fun mechanic.

Would it be plausible to implement random areas on each map that are randomized for each player in a game that they can go to in order to "clean" themselves, wiping off any potential pigeon infections?

To counter balance for the pigeon, maybe rounds wouldn't reset the infection.

I suppose after you use your individual cleaning area, it would consume it and you would be assigned a new cleaning area on the map.

Or maybe even a cooldown similar to sabotages/send signal style stuff?

Also to help the pigeon keep track of how many they have infected, maybe every time someone cleanses a little notification pops up on their mini-map a la technician.

[regal ridge]

That would make it even harder for a pigeon to win though...

[near ridge]

Well the counter balance would be people wouldn't know if they're infected if they're going to clean themselves and it wouldn't reset each round instead.

But yeah, just an idea.

[dry wind]

I don't think it's a terrible idea, but at the same time players would just camp their clean area and wait to go into it as soon as someone came near them. And then camp the next spawn, after they were cleaned.

[crimson needle]

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

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

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

[near ridge]

But if the clean areas are spread apart and random for each player, then that splits the players anyway which leaves you vulnerable for the duck. Plus if you add a cooldown even that doesn't let that work either, no?

[dry wind]

I'm just thinking of this situation. All my tasks are finished. All your tasks are finished. Our cleaning areas are on the opposite sides of the map. I wait near mine. You wait near yours. Someone approaches you, who you suspect is the pigeon.. when they come up to you, you wait for them to leave, and cleanse yourself. They then go hunt me down, and have to infect me, and then I cleanse myself. The pigeon could get into a position where they're endlessly caught in a cycle of never able to win.

[near ridge]

Yeah, there's definitely potential on either way it could go.

[teal latch]

yeah id second this idea. something so that the button isnt called every 15 seconds. otherwise you have to make the button cool down really long which causes its own deal of problems

[timber obsidian]

the emergency button cooldown is a setting the host can set

[obsidian bramble]

I always set button cd to 40 seconds

Just to prevent button spam

[balmy pelican]

There can be certain quests tab where you can open and find quests that are available. You can do them to get coins/gold coins. (A new possible way for gold coins? 👀 )

These quests can be daily/weekly.

ex:
Sabotage 5 times in one game. - Reward: 1 Gold Coin

Complete 35 tasks. - Reward: 50-100 Silver Coins

Get 3 dodo wins. - Reward: 3 Gold Coins

[quasi elm]

I think that repeatable achievements that reward any gold coins would just encourage farming groups that e.g. take turns voting the dodo out rather than playing the game.

[regal ridge]

will we ever get more achievements, that is the question

[obsidian bramble]

Silver coin rewards I feel are fine

Gold coins are their source of income

[latent arrow]

We will look into daily quests later 🙂

We want to get more content into the game rather than gimmicks

We feel that a better game keeps people more engaged for longer.

[lost venture]

Medium, The Ability to see if a Duck is being Haunted.
IE: the last person tehy killed color is on them.

[timber obsidian]

there's a medium already

[hybrid folio]

If you’re brand new to GGD, medium has been around for ages and even been updated with a cool new feature

[obsidian bramble]

It was updated???

[balmy pelican]

yes

the latest update

[median fable]

oo

[obsidian bramble]

Idk if this goes here

But it should say "If they survive"

[spiral atlas]

please update #live-birds :3

[timber obsidian]

grumbles

fine

there's an in-game help button now you know

[unkempt acorn]

Not a bad idea. Call it 'Cursed' instead of 'Medium'. But, that's kinda like the Canadian already...

[spiral atlas]

yeah but it doesn't give enough info.

[timber obsidian]

@spiral atlas what info are you looking for

[spiral atlas]

Pigeon: Infect everyone to win.

[timber obsidian]

Yes, that's the best way to play pigeon

Not infecting everyone is a losing strategy

[timber obsidian]

okay here you go

[spiral atlas]

good morning lol

When I was saying “Infect everyone to win”, I was saying that I have no idea what that actually means lol. Thanks.

[dry wind]

I was about to shame you for not including the mimic check, but there it was.

[timber obsidian]

the pigeon has the ability to infect

it should infect everyone

the help reference is more for people to get a quick grasp of what a role does, and what's in the particular game

as opposed to being in depth explanation of the role, which no one would have time for in game

[serene gate]

basically press the virus button when you are close to someone and if you do that to everyone you win

[rigid lance]

Recently just finished a few rounds with some friends, and recently bought myself the founder's pack to the game. I am truly enjoying the honks and quack-ups and can't wait to see more come about from this gaggle!

[obsidian bramble]

Less of a feedback, but how do you guys feel about the spy + assassin combo in proximity chat?

They can get 2 free untraceable kills the first 2 meetings without having to kill beforehand

[ripe echo]

just tried to play a create a match, cant change the number of ducks... always remains at 1

[lapis pier]

They are aware that this is a very strong combo, and will likely change something if this turn out to be too op. So far many lobbies are far too chaotic to make full use of the combo But they're keeping an eye on it

Also, while two free kills sounds sweet, it can be extremely advantageous to sit on one of the shots, as the geese will be scared to claim roles (to clear themselves) as long as the assassin still has a shot, and to keep it for a particularly difficult individual later on in the game ^^

[obsidian bramble]

THat is very true

I am just afraid of extreme speed runes

[viral coyote]

There is duck number limits at certain lobby sizes, rough guide is 1 duck for every 5 players

[quasi elm]

Wouldn't it require 3 meetings minimum since the first meeting is when the spy duck would first use their ability and then they have to find the person they spied on in-game and then they have to find the assassin duck alone to tell them in secret? Planning all that out probably means they slow down on killing the normal way. Plus, the spy may end up finding a role that they don't need to take out right away like Dodo or Vulture or just a regular goose that the assassin can't target.

This did almost happen in one of our games last night where the spy found my role but by the time they met up with the assassin, I was already in the room with another person anyway so the spy tried and failed a double kill and got themselves and their assassin voted out for a Goose win. So didn't pan out.

I think perhaps an effective way to play a spy / assassin combo would be as a finisher by killing and spying as normal and learning the roles of 2 others and keeping them alive. The spy holds their vote back until most people have voted then announces the two roles they know allowing the assassin to kill once at the end that meeting and then again at start of the next meeting. If the ducks call a sabotage and kill on cooldown and report, this creates opportunity for a 3 to 4 player kill spree to win the game before they can be voted off but requires a bit more coordination.

[quasi elm]

This happened last night for us. A mechanic announced themselves locally to a group of people that happened to include the assassin and the assassin kept that knowledge and let them live until the game came down to 2 ducks v 3 geese and then the assassin took their shot for the win.

[quasi elm]

Btw, assassin duck is a fantastic addition to the game!

[timber obsidian]

thanks!

So, my concerns with the assassin and spy are slightly different than some players might have

im not exactly worried that it's too overpowered, as whether or not there's a spy, the assassin can only kill two with assassinations

My issue is more or less that the dynamic is changed. In terms of the effect on overall gameplay, the assassin isn't meant to necessarily be a badass role that blows through geese. It's meant to stop the overt role claiming and to force players to be more careful with how obvious they play. You can't/shouldn't just jump into vents in front of a bunch of players. The dynamic for the assassin having to solve roles to get rid of them is also lost.

[rustic heron]

Was there ever a discussion to have the entire lobby during a meeting be quiet except for the one that reported the body automatically for at least 5-7 seconds? Because it's not always possible for the reporter to have the chance to speak.

If this was implemented, it will help solve a lot of issues of people overtalking one other during the beginning of the meeting once and for all.

[green spruce]

Yeah….

[rustic heron]

If the person was silenced then there would be no quiet period of 5-7 seconds.

Simple fix I think.

[latent arrow]

@rustic heron This has been requested before and we may make it a setting that can be activated in private games and on by default in public games

[green spruce]

ooo thx

[crimson needle]

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

We've heard this request and are considering it.

[crimson notch]

That might be the best idea I've seen in this entire discord

[regal ridge]

^

[verbal comet]

honestly most of the goose roles were overpowered before the assasin came out. i had little roles enabled and people always complained to me abt it. now that the assasin is out the whole game is balanced again. for me the assasin is what solved the problem of roles being too op

[green spruce]

I don’t agree, because people love metagaming anyway, and baiting them

[crimson notch]

The meta will constantly evolve. With Assassin you will see people claiming false roles trying to get the assassin to shoot wrong. Or even the assassin claiming a role then shooting whoever counters the claim.

[green spruce]

Lol

[brazen wagon]

Ooo didn't think of that last one dang

[green spruce]

That’s already happened

also, i shot someone when they said, oh they’re isn’t an assassin, so My role is such and such, moments later BANG

[brazen wagon]

Lmao

[green spruce]

Cause they assume there wasn’t an assassin. lol

[crimson notch]

Personally, I would never want to take a shot on the first meeting, maybe not even the second. Make them feel safe that there's no assassin and gather information.

[green spruce]

this wasn’t the first meeting.

[brazen wagon]

I havent played this update, do they just straight up die in the middle of the meeting?

[crimson notch]

Yes

[green spruce]

This was the third to last one, after a screw up, i made

[brazen wagon]

Is there an animation of it

[green spruce]

they let me live, assuming i was a dodo, cause i admitted my mistake…

then me and my duck buddies killed a lot of people, then i shot the mechanic cause he forgot i was there.

[brazen wagon]

I think it would be funny if the mechanic caught the assassin and reported the body but before they can speak they just get shot

[verbal comet]

the assasin has a cooldown so that sadly isnt a possibility without silencer being there too

[verbal comet]

^

[crimson notch]

Yeah, the assassin can't shoot until the voting timer begins

[brazen wagon]

Aw

[verbal comet]

idk why they made it like that its pretty lame ngl

[green spruce]

Also i thought of a Combo if they can Co-op that is bad… Spy, assassin, Professial

[verbal comet]

nah spy, assasin, silencer is the best duck trio

[brazen wagon]

Idk I find professional a bit weak

[green spruce]

I mean…. it’s great for creating chaos in the dark

[brazen wagon]

Yeah but honestly the only big use for pro is killing canadian

[green spruce]

silencer is the worse tbh, no one even uses it.

When they have the option

[verbal comet]

well thats complety wrong there have been a lot of times where it was useful for me

[green spruce]

Yeah, alot of people i’ve played with don’t use it.

[verbal comet]

oh

[brazen wagon]

Even then assassin might be a bigger counter to canadian

[green spruce]

they silencer hits the pple alone alot.

[lapis pier]

I don't use silencer much, but that's because I'm a little too ditzy to plan ahead x) but it can be a really great tool if you just now how to use it

[green spruce]

True wish there was a tutorial for some of the more speicalized roles

[brazen wagon]

Its also kinda funny when you silence someone who's about to push the button

But then you get outed the next round

[verbal comet]

i also dont like that when you come out of a vent as the duck you have a 3 second
kill cooldown regardless if it hit 0. it makes vent kills near impossible

[brazen wagon]

Has anyone ever convinced a whole lobby to vote for a silenced person? Lol

[verbal comet]

no

[brazen wagon]

So if you silence a fellow duck does that reduce the probability of them getting voted

[verbal comet]

probobly

one time one of my friends faked being silenced on accident

[brazen wagon]

On accident?

[verbal comet]

ye

now we dont clear silenced ppl

[brazen wagon]

Lol

[verbal comet]

silencer is also heavily downgraded in prox chat

[brazen wagon]

Wym?

Oh yeah

[verbal comet]

cus they can just talk after the meeting

[brazen wagon]

Because they just sus you out after the meeting lol

What if they buffed it so that it doesn't tell the person if they are silenced :o

[verbal comet]

that sounds cool

but they might just find out themselves

[cyan heron]

The bug report channel would be full of reports that no one could hear them in a meeting.

[brazen wagon]

True lmao

[primal crystal]

Can you please add the Speaker symbol in the adjust player volumes screen to make it easier to see who is talking, it would make me so happy

[latent arrow]

This is a good idea, we would likely put it on the right side of the volume slider though.

[primal crystal]

ya where ever it is, i would be very happy

[green spruce]

What about The plus roles tutorial if they should have them idk

[leaden void]

could you let proximity chat be used in public games as well

[timber obsidian]

We are concerned with the toxicity that can breed

[green spruce]

I love the way the devs handle the community :J

I can be proud of this.

[stuck reef]

Not if you're in a lobby that instavotes people who don't talk.

[stuck reef]

Too many creeps around too many kids.

[balmy steeple]

I think there should be a hover-over a goose before being able to silence/copy their looks or whatever so that you dont miss click

[obsidian bramble]

I feel like we need more specific settings for certain roles honestly.

Like, the range of the silencer duck silence, the range of the kill, range of detective

This would enhance player experience by a lot, simply by letting every game be EVEN MORE unique based on player settings

Right now we can't even edit how long does the morphling's morph last

[rancid owl]

I imagine people have already raised this, but as the silencer, and indeed as other roles, that the target of the ability would be great if they were highlighted, so you know who you're affecting in a cluster.

[obsidian bramble]

^^^

[timber obsidian]

misfiring's part of the game

[obsidian bramble]

Targetting would also buff group kills

It'd make it so much more beneficial to silence/kill in a group, the person you wanted

[fresh grove]

People are only asking for an indicator, not a lock on. Misfires will still happen as bodies move around causing the targeting to change which is already what happens but invisibly.

[obsidian bramble]

Yeah but indicators still increase effectivity, they're not JUST QOL

[timber obsidian]

its something worth thinking about

[obtuse meteor]

was the teleporter sensitivity removed? low/high/safe

[timber obsidian]

nope, just moved south into the loading bay

[final mulch]

Sabotaged lights panel - feedback from a player who is colourblind - they cannot tell when the switches are red or yellow - is it possible to add a symbol when the yellow /fixed switches are lit up so they know when they switches are back to 'normal'

[obsidian bramble]

I feel like overall a colourblind mode for the entire game would be great

[dry wind]

A few of the developers are actually color blind, so they tend to build the game around this without having to bake in a feature. All the colors for the geese were very carefully selected, as well as many shapes and indicators on tasks involving colors, to include the best experience for everyone. I know the doors task in security has a white spot that grows when the correct color (green) is selected. I'm curious if lights have a similar white spot on them.

[obsidian bramble]

Idk much about colourblindness, but I hope that's good enough

It's great that they build the game like that tho

[sick verge]

I can't truely appreciate Red/Green

[wanton karma]

Or purple 😫

[obsidian bramble]

I knew a person who could only see black/white tones

Nothing else

[broken snow]

I have a small amount of red colorblindness and the pink/red(?) Geese have confused me many times a lot of times to the point of incorrectly killing someone.

Which has led to me getting roasted in ghost chat for not being able to tell the two apart on multiple occasions

[obsidian bramble]

Just put symbols over colour specific tasks

Every single one

Or every coloured signal

[craggy grotto]

I am blue/green colorblind and also have trouble with different grey tones.

I know Irish language isn't widely used, but if you're interested at all, Yunitex recently did an Irish translation of Among Us and might be interested in translating for Goose Goose Duck as well!

[jolly wigeon]

You also got a Green name

[craggy grotto]

I don't have any problem with this particular shade of green but I do with certain shades.

[jolly wigeon]

Late but it was just funny to point out

[eager dock]

Its not a scam. I think he just wants people to join his server. I played some games with him

His name in game was "detective"

[sick verge]

This would be more of a discord thing.
Could be a cool person but #rules #9
Also a good general rule of thumb, don't click on links you aren't expecting from people you don't know.
I recommend disabling messages from server members.
Making friends is great! Unwanted spam is not

[serene gate]

ngl when I mess up on wires it feels like the game just fnaf jumpscared me which is probably a good thing

[brazen wagon]

Wait what happens when you mess up wires?

[eager dock]

Mess up wires and find out

[verbal comet]

very anti-climactic idk what these ppl on about

[brazen wagon]

I see now

[regal ridge]

I miss seeing ghosts dance on people as the medium

[timber obsidian]

Do you like role reveal

[regal ridge]

I do

which is why we cant have it yes

but you can turn that off

[latent arrow]

The medium in theory is fun and cool but it's contributes nothing to the balance of the game.

It makes it very very difficult to balance once you have a medium.

[languid iron]

a haunting feature out be interesting

Though I am not loving ready up feature in the game already

[latent arrow]

We noticed a lot of instances where someone would just join, before seeing any of the game/features and immediately start. We decided that a ready up feature was necessary also to prevent people from going afk during the game. People who tend to leave their computer for lengthy periods of time shouldn't ever make it into your game.

[ocean vector]

If the Mimic Goose is killed, does friendly fire remain on?

[latent arrow]

yes because you shouldn't know if you killed the mimic until the game is over

[regal ridge]

the teleporter always gets me now

i love it

[ocean vector]

Does the dilated eyes craftable function as a hat item?

Asking because I'd like to keep my hoodie on with those eyes.

[latent arrow]

It does

[rustic heron]

Is that new map Mallard Manor meant to be a 'Halloween' style-looking map?

[timber obsidian]

no

thats just a rich person's house

[latent arrow]

Rich duck's house.

[regal ridge]

Ahem GEESE ARE INVADING A DUCK HOUSE GET EM OUT

[ocean vector]

I could do the ant swatter task better if maybe some of the ants didn't wander off to the top of the screen into the ether 👀

[regal ridge]

gotta be fast

[ocean vector]

The ants didn't even make it halfway to the screen before curving off to the top

[latent arrow]

You could always try to write the ants a poem to tell them how you feel. They love poetry. :)

[ocean vector]

[ivory herald]

I've found the ant task irritating, as I can never find which part of the flipper is supposed to smoosh them.

I had assumed the tip, but it seems to be back a bit, which makes it hard to see if I'm pointing right or not

[reef burrow]

i think at some point the main screen got rearranged, and its harder to find the quit application button (unless im blind). its hidden under settings and i keep mixing it up with signing out of the account. Itd be nice if a close application button was on the home screen

[obsidian bramble]

For people who are struggling with the ant task, click with your cursor in the middle of the ant

It's not janky, just difficult

Or just spam click, there's no penalty for spam clicking

[grizzled badger]

The actual hitbox of the paper is the top right of it
