oh is it a wing?

i always thought you were slapping them with a sticky note or something

[regal ridge]

It's a wing lol

[onyx tinsel]

Hello DEVS, please add proximity chat to public lobby

[wanton karma]

@onyx tinsel many have asked but it won't happen. Little geese need protecting

[onyx tinsel]

how about add it, and if you are underaged( you can ask about it in the questions during the acc registration) , do not allow to use voice chats

[crimson needle]

Please add proximity chat to public games.

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

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

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

[stuck reef]

It goes "BRRRZZTZZ" and flashes

I think the "sign out" and "quit application" buttons should be switched.

I'd like to be able to quit from the main menu, if possible.

[cyan thunder]

make a low preformance mode, my game is stuttering a lot on the new map and if i get the brushing task under the shuttle i get killed 90% of the time

and i dont have a weak pc at all

[marsh pivot]

Agree'd. Players shouldn't have to hunt for the quit button on the main menu and find it hidden in the gear settings. If not switched, at least the quit button added to the main menu please

[latent arrow]

You can still quit through the settings button. We will be making ui changes soon.

[crimson notch]

If it's a really big issue for you, there's always the trusty Alt+f4

[dim vessel]

A lot of games don't save properly if you don't use their specific quit button, so gamers wouldn't expect to need to do that.

[crimson notch]

You don't need to do that, you can always exit via the quit button. Just suggesting a faster option for anyone inconvenienced by an extra click.

[sick verge]

To quote Shawn: "We will be making ui changes soon."

[latent arrow]

Quoting Chris quoting myself, "We will be making ui changes soon."

❤️

[hybrid narwhal]

The ability to change outfit colors would be kinda cool, even if the colors were limited. Like I am saving to get the dragon cosmetic but I’d love to have the option to color it green or even black.
Maybe even make you guys some money and do color change for the price of silver or gold? Idk just a thought as I was playing today!

Love the game! Keep up the great work gaggle team!! 💜🦆

[placid burrow]

Can you be able to buy ect gold coins with your steam currency because as far as I know you can't

Also love the game keep up your good work ❤️🦆

[crimson notch]

I believe you are able to buy the Founders Pack with steam funds, not sure about the individual coin bundles

[acoustic cobalt]

you can buy individual gold coins

without a pack

[crimson notch]

Right, but their question was specifically whether Steam funds could be used to purchase, and just looked to verify, you CAN buy the coin bundles with Steam funds @placid burrow

From the main screen, go to "Collection" then click "Shop" at the top of the screen under the word "Wallet"
This will open a browser window where you input your gaggle linked email and are then able to make purchases via Steam

[lost venture]

The most common phrase i hear in GGD.
"Ohh I'm the Medium. Going to go Shuttle myself"
And i wish i was kiding with that.

[timber obsidian]

if you hate the medium, turn it off

[fast verge]

I don’t see why the minimap is turned off during the voting phase? Especially for new players like me it is useful for gaining an idea of where everyone was if you haven’t mesmerized the map. The discussion phase is usually a bit short so if it were in both phases I feel one could get more use out of it

(Not minimap but that map you have to see where you were before the meeting was called)

[grizzled badger]

i think thats intended

[fast verge]

But why?

[grizzled badger]

for confusion

chaos

the less tools available the better chance ducks have at winning

thats just what i assume tho dont take it as fact

[fast verge]

Yeah but it’s more like a crutch for newer players. It doesn’t really serve any purpose if you know the map so I doesn’t really disadvantage the ducks

*it

[latent arrow]

We had it on and players not voting skyrocketed. It was making the game way less interesting and fun.

[latent arrow]

The medium is really for players that enjoy a more team-based social deception game. I'll admit its a lot less exciting than being a vigilante but can be far more powerful in the right player's hands. The amount of information you can obtain is massive. Herbert's advice is correct. If your group doesn't like the medium they can turn it off.

[lost venture]

i never said i hated. i said " The most common phrase i hear in GGD.
"Ohh I'm the Medium. Going to go Shuttle myself""

i play mostly voice only games.

[grizzled badger]

lol how did that happen

like everyone could account for themselves so they were hesitant to vote for anyone?

[latent arrow]

No they literally were so focused on the screen blocking the vote panel they tuned out the timer and just spent the time looking at the map instead of voting.

[grizzled badger]

lmao

[timber obsidian]

the sentiment is really the same though. if the people you're playing with dislike it so much, just gently suggest they turn it off

we want people to have a fun time!

[lost venture]

exactly. i've heard people say turn it off, while others are saying leave it on. so the lobbies always question mark it.

[latent arrow]

No one is saying you hate it. 🙂 Sounds like the group has the right attitude towards it.

[serene gate]

so when I was doing the task with the toothbrush in nexus and the shuttle almost crushed me then a body got reported thank you GGD gods

[flint stream]

might've already been said before but whoever created the lobby theme deserves so much love. perfectly sets the tone of the game and is an all-round bop.

[latent arrow]

I will let our team know 🙂

They did an amazing job.

[fast verge]

Could one maybe make it so that the map gets blocked 20s before voting deadline (or something like that)?

[ivory herald]

it already is, it forcibly closes as soon as the discussion timer ends (unless you open it with 1 second or less left) appears to be fixed

[vital grail]

Please spend more money to advertise the game is really good.

[latent arrow]

We're a small studio and every penny we get goes right back in to making more content. The best way to help us grow the game is to leave an honest steam review and tell your friends to play.

[rancid owl]

Definitely make some method of preventing blank names, probably by blocking non-displaying unicode characters.

[reef burrow]

i just realized some of the outfits have really good shading and others are flat colors, and some in between, is this intentional? or is the art still being updated?
it looks kinda random what stuff has shading and what doesnt

[latent arrow]

Yes we are in the midst of updating our cosmetics 🙂 They will happen without notice too.

[reef burrow]

I know we can manually turn off the auto kick for not finishing tasks, but for Goose Hunt I feel it should auto turn off... cause whenever we switch from normal to goose hunt people often forget until it becomes a problem in game

[crimson notch]

Playing a round of Dine & Dash with 8 people, I was Vulture. Duck killed me while in engine room on Nexus. The sounds of the engine room persisted into the next lobby

[timber obsidian]

even after the next game started?

or just in the lobby

[crimson notch]

It persisted in the lobby until I spawned into the map for the next game

[dry wind]

https://i.imgur.com/MrfV0ng.png Could we possibly change the "buy" button to "craft" when you're using materials?

[glossy mulch]

Can you make a phone adaption

[eager dock]

The next major update is the mobile release

[timber obsidian]

okay we'll do this just for you, check in again soon

[versed plume]

lol

[shell badge]

Discord Integration 🥺

[green spruce]

Could the members have a looking for group role for lfg pings like for ex. @lfg-tagalog-- that would be so much easier for everyone /feedback

[sick verge]

The ability to ping a mass group of people is not ideal. If you're looking for a group, odds are you're already watching the channel or creating a room and posting in there

[green spruce]

hmm point taken-- I submit to your discretion, then xx

[final mulch]

I’ll try to check in but please can you email me?

[serene gate]

no u

[woeful garnet]

Not sure if anyone has been able to read my DM from the Gaggle staff but I just want to know if I could request permissions or not to use GGD images in my streamloots cards. I have had these cards paused until there is confirmation

[latent arrow]

@woeful garnet just run them @sick verge 🙂

[sick verge]

I have never received a DM regarding this, just run them as Shawn said

[latent arrow]

Yeah I have no qualms as long as the art is not drastically altered or used to make our brand look poopy

[grand loom]

so in other words.. not like this??

oop.. i cant use stickers here it seem. but the one i put in general ideas 😛

[latent arrow]

That one is great

[grand loom]

dat goose butt

[glossy mulch]

R u using an engine

Like game engine

[woeful garnet]

Thank you, someone told me i needed permission so i made sure i asked before continuing using the images

[latent arrow]

Yes we use an engine

[glossy mulch]

Unity?

[latent arrow]

Yes and a custom back end to support it 🙂

[glossy mulch]

Wow

I know a fast tutorial for changing resolutions

Put brakeys on youtube

Screen resolution

[ivory herald]

Poor mimic needs a bit of a buff if there's two ducks and one mimic, I just had a game where I spawned with the mimic and my duck friend spawned right next to lights sabotage and did them instantly. I noticed the sabotage task turn green and instantly knew who the mimic was, a bit unfair for them I think

[eager dock]

0s and 1s in the promote channel spamming

Now a file

[dry wind]

I got it. :)

[latent arrow]

Thanks for the tip! We use a custom stencil buffer so it isn't so simple as that tutorial might suggest but we're definitely on it.

[ivory herald]

Oh yeah, speaking of screen resolution, I use a 2560x1080 screen and on some maps, I can see the edges a little bit

[gilded wind]

this game is amazing and i'm so happy

[rancid owl]

Group feedback from my stream, people asked about the possibility of the dead being able to hear the living while floating around, most likely limited by proxchat range, but not affecting the current implementation of the dead chat. I agree with the that if you're the only dead non-duck, then it's boring as you can't hear anyone.

[broken snow]

Piggybacking off of this, since it would be hard to differentiate the dead from the living, make the text chat constantly active for the dead.

[crimson needle]

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

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

[timber obsidian]

There is a chat box for dead players

it is constantly active

[still merlin]

The collection page should open onto the first section of cosmetics, it would be better if they were organised with it opening first onto the silver currency pages of cosmetics and then the premium currency sections, it would be cool if the gold currency cosmetic page icons were inner or outlined in gold to show before switching tabs.

[latent arrow]

We are reworking our entire UI in a future update 🙂

[broken snow]

Sorry, Herbert, I should've specified my thought instead of typing half my thought and moving on 💀 I meant moreso like an on screen chat. Similar to many games but I'm specifically thinking of Stardew Valley, where sent messages appear on screen and disappear. And as for hearing the live birds, maybe a toggle feature where you could either listen to them, or talk to your fellow dead.

[latent arrow]

We have considered this but we've noticed that if someone is talking to someone else (who might not be listening) players automatically assume their own mic is broken and people tend to not realize what is happening. The number of bug reports about mics failing starts to go up and our team ends up getting distracted trying to solve bugs that aren't bugs. 😦 When a feature can manifest itself like a bug we cautiously avoid putting it in. To implement this we would need an on screen indicator similar to discord (which we can do) but now this is no longer a small update and a MAJOR in-game and UI change.

We will definitely look into ways of making this a possibility, but as it stands now a lot of mic issues we trouble shoot are user error already and we're not too thrilled about going down this road even further until we know for certain what our in-game UI will look like.

I hope this satisfies the answer about mics. The on screen chat solution is also a heavy UI change that not everyone would like. We're really keen on keeping the chat dialogue clean and also preventing on screen spam for streamers who may be in public lobbies.

As we approach the final state of our game, additional QoL features usually come with a caveat which makes them more and more difficult to implement without affecting the game. Unless 100% of people demand it or it's a feature that brings new players to the game and helps them enjoy it (like a friends list) we're likely to avoid putting resources in it immediately. It doesn't mean we wont do it but it does mean we will be less likely to over some features until we're certain that it wont make the game more confusing for new players 🙂

[broken snow]

Understood. I wasn't really thinking of the streaming aspect, moreso me thinking as a player who plays in lots of private lobbies who enjoys seeing how people play the game. Once I'm dead in the game, I'm just a spectator (with tasks). I'd still like to hear, or have the option to hear, what's going on between the living. I completely understand the mic issue and why this wouldn't be a priority at the moment (or at all) but just mentioning it as a possible thing in the future.

Glad to know it was at least considered before though.

[desert cargo]

When prox chat is on have a little thing that says if your talking or not

[latent arrow]

Cant do this because of the morphling 🙂

[boreal copper]

Can you make it so that way when a detective uses his ability on someone that is a duck who has not killed change from angel to devils when they kill?

[crimson notch]

That's part of the skill of using the role though! Do you use it after the first body when you're slightly sus of someone or hope you survive long enough to use it when it's down to just a few people. Using it before the first meeting is very rarely going to be a good play for Detective Goose.

[latent arrow]

Detectives in real life gather information, the longer they investigate (survive) the better information they'll have. It's adapted to be exactly like this in the game too. @crimson notch nailed it.

[desert cargo]

To clarify I mean just have something on your end that says if your mic is transmitting sound maybe like the push to talk thing where it goes yellow

[sick verge]

We understood what you were referring to, as Shawn said can't do that because of roles like the morphing :)

[desert cargo]

Forgive me if I'm wrong but how does that interfere with the morphing duck if it's on your side and your the only one who sees it, it's mainly just to see if the game is picking up you talking

[timber obsidian]

It isn't quite what you want, but something slightly related in the next update is that there will be a bar that moves depending on the volume of people speaking in the players menu

I don't think you'll be able to see your own volume though

it is something we will consider

[glossy mulch]

I played 3 games and did not realized no one heard me

[pure flicker]

Could they not hear you because you were muted?

[green spruce]

I’m not gonna ask y they never asked u in the meeting y u aren’t talking unless u got killed one of the first every turn

[placid burrow]

I would like it if we would be able to buy golf coins ect. using our steam money ty

[timber obsidian]

you can

[eager dock]

someone just asked me why is it called the cannibal duck when its a duck eating a goose, they also asked why isnt it called hungry duck? i too am wondering these things

[green spruce]

I mean it’s a cannibal since he can eat duck corpses

And also how can the eagle eat 4 bodies instantly or has that been patched

[crimson notch]

The cannibal Duck will gladly eat any bird corpse, including fellow Ducks when friendly fire is on

[eager dock]

good points

[green spruce]

Even tho they might never know they are a cannibal…

Just imagine

[obtuse meteor]

makes sense on blind or mimic activated games

[cyan heron]

Spectator mode, amirite? But honestly any additional people in the game (even as a spectator) might be too much for some machines to handle.

[near ridge]

Very low priority but especially with new maps that will come out later: would it be possible to switch the sabotage task lights to a different color on minimap? Like a red or something comes to mind to just help newer ducks figure out locations and differentiate at a quick glance.

[latent arrow]

Newer ducks shouldnt be playing with fake tasks on :p

We can look into it though.

[broken snow]

Wasn't neccessary suggesting spectator mode, I think the amount of players per lobby is perfect. Moreso called myself, dead in game, a spectator, because once my tasks are done I'm just spectating the game.

[cyan heron]

I know, but I'd still like spectator mode.

[latent arrow]

this wont happen any time soon

[quartz surge]

Would there be any possibility of GGD being available on chromebook?

[cyan heron]

I know... but I can still dream.

[latent arrow]

Yes with the release of android

you will be able to download it on google play

[quartz surge]

woohoo

how soon is that?

[timber obsidian]

soon

two days closer than the day before yesterday

[quartz surge]

ok then!

very informative

[green spruce]

Can a mod or dev pls contact me I have some ideas

[topaz sigil]

I didn't trust you tho. You are a duck!

[sick verge]

#💡︱general-ideas or the relevant channel are the proper channels to share your well thought out ideas

[green spruce]

They are long ideas since I wanted to explain them properly
Also a dev/mod told me to do this to not spam and I agree

[timber obsidian]

Have you played the game yet?

[wide vector]

detective should just check the role inmy opinion because once i check a duck and they dont kill then the angel will show up which is kinda broken for the duck's i think the devil icon should only happen when the detective finds the duck

[queen wagon]

i mean the devil icon pretty much does only happen when the detective finds a duck

[timber obsidian]

that's the counterplay for the duck. a smart detective would later in the game

if the duck refuses to kill, then aren't you winning anyways...?

[wet ginkgo]

can we make it so dead people don't stay silenced if they were silenced that round? There's no point to keep them silenced if they died

[dry wind]

Silence only works in meetings, and dead can't talk in meetings anyway, it's just an indication that you would have been silenced, had you had lived.

[wet ginkgo]

I was silenced as a ghost though?

[dry wind]

You may have accidentally muted your microphone in game. If the microphone icon turns red, just click it again or press m. Silence only ever works during meetings.

[wet ginkgo]

I play without the mic, and I couldn't chat with the other ghosts and I just thought it was a little pointless to keep the dead silenced, sorry

[dry wind]

If you were unable to chat in the dead chat, this is more than likely a bug, and is not intended. Sometimes strange bugs show up if someone dc's during meetings, especially if they interacted with you.

[wet ginkgo]

oh okay!

[wanton karma]

As Shawn has said before... if you're silenced you're silenced, alive or dead.

[dry wind]

Correct, however it is only supposed to happen during meetings, so being unable to communicate after the meeting, is definitely unintended. Most likely I'm guessing someone dc'd that may have voted for Sobriquet, or possibly even the silencer dc'd and caused some unintentended consequence.

[wanton karma]

Ya as long as it was after meeting that they were still silenced

[final mulch]

noticed some text updates required for the tutorial - want here or by DM?

[eager dock]

i love how this game has controller support

[obtuse meteor]

Question: Do neutral or duck roles get kicked when the "kick idle geese" option is on and extra tasks is on for them?

[timber obsidian]

No

Their tasks don't count towards the task pool to end the game

[timber obsidian]

it always said don't, and there's no evidence otherwise!

[cursive tendon]

Loving the new map it's sooo sick

[near ridge]

Snoop Goose is fine and all, but there's a lack of clarity and a certain lack of intuitiveness as to where all they can hide. Feel like with vents having a consistent aesthetic it was a far better design. Kind of feel like you have to learn all the possible hiding spots rather than being able to quickly identify.

[obsidian bramble]

The new techno mask looks really cool but it kinda looks really low res

Compared to other hats

[latent arrow]

There are 4, we assume people will learn quick 🙂 only one of them is less intuitive but its awesome; we love letting people explore and find fun things out. 🙂

[obsidian bramble]

The map is absolutely beautiful

And absolutely huge

I love it

The tasks are also phenomenal

Remind me of old detective movies and shows

Like poaro

Though, wouldn't it make sense if the people upstairs could see people downstairs?

[timber obsidian]

people in the upstairs of the library can see people downstairs and not vice versa

[obsidian bramble]

For me it blackened out the downstairs

As if my vision was blocked

[timber obsidian]

was this during the fire sabotage?

[obsidian bramble]

No

[timber obsidian]

if not, can you take a screenshot of what you're seeing

[obsidian bramble]

I was in exploration mode

I have a screenshot

Where can I post it?

[lapis pier]

#816406021232263280

[timber obsidian]

@obsidian bramble I see it in explore mode

I think in live games, you will be able to see people on the first floor, and not vice versa as i said

[obsidian bramble]

Ooooh ok

So it's just an exploration mode thing

[hybrid narwhal]

Love love love the new map. It is absolutely gorgeous! Just some positive feedback for you all! From the new kill animations (which are hilarious), new role, new tasks all the way to the new environmental kills- it is absolutely AMAZING! Keep it up gaggle team!

[inner sage]

Can the quit button be put back on the main menu (for steam version only?). It's confusing to have to go in settings in order to quit the game, when quitting is not a setting.

[timber obsidian]

There's going to be a whole slew of UI/UX changes and that'll be addressed then

[glossy mulch]

Today I am playing new map and falcon

Rn

[spiral atlas]

Please show a warning when the falcon tries to vote, instead of silently ignoring the click.

[dry wind]

Not a bad idea.

[somber juniper]

I would guess that it has already been said But to me, the new version of Medium is kind of "meh". There's not really anything much to do with the info of how many ghosts there are. Or am I just missing some important aspect of it? In any case I for one liked the old Medium better. Or change it again. I'll post a suggestion about how it could be changed...

[dry wind]

Check the #live-birds section, and read about some of the medium strategies there, might give you some new ideas on how to use it.

[somber juniper]

Yes I already thought of all those things...

[latent arrow]

Not all roles are created equal, the old medium was way too powerful in a cohesive lobby. The new medium is actually quite strong if used to it's full potential. Backpedaling when you know a new ghost is afoot to a place you just were gives you a good chance to possibly catch a murderer on foot fleeing from a scene.

You can piece information together pretty quickly.

That being said, it's not an ultimate power role, but the power of it is truly up to the wielder. In the hands of an effective player its as good if not better than a sheriff. (and a lot less dangerous)

We will be making a draft mode in the future so if it's a role you're not particularly keen in playing you can always choose around it. If your friends know you do this often you'll likely get picked out of a pile for repeat pattern behavior.

[river jackal]

I do love the new map very well but is there going to be a second floor for it. If does i would enjoy it

[dry wind]

No, there is a balcony in the library, but this map does not have a second floor.

[silver wharf]

I would love draft mode, I hate getting vigi and/or sheriff for the 7th time each and every day.

[glossy mulch]

What does draft even mean

[dry wind]

Have you ever played league of legends?

[glossy mulch]

No

[somber juniper]

Draft means that you get a certain number (usually 2 or 3) to choose from and may thus impact which role you get somewhat.

[glossy mulch]

Oh

Thx

[somber juniper]

Np at all, good chap.

[final mulch]

There are staircases present….. just not allowed to climb them yet.

[somber juniper]

Yet? Yet is good...

[wary otter]

Is there a way to get gold coins through play? If not, is there a way to get them that isn't buying a bundle? Don't want the 5 dollar package and already got the other one

[crimson notch]

You can earn a small amount of gold coins with certain achievements. You can also purchase bundles of gold coins in game

[wary otter]

Ah I guess I just couldn't find the option.

[crimson notch]

In the collection screen look for the "SHOP" button toward the top of the screen

[wary otter]

yea that just takes me to the bundle options and I can't see any others. Maybe I just cna't see it

[crimson notch]

You can also login with the email you registered with at gaggle.fun and purchase the coins there if the in-game isn't displaying properly for you

[dry wind]

Just scroll down a little bit: https://i.imgur.com/JDiovGB.png

Or as d20 mentioned, going directly to: https://gaggle.fun/ggdshop is probably the best way to make purchases, as all your currency gets added directly, and doesn't get held in limbo processing, like steam does from time to time.

[native geode]

The calibrate doors task is hard for individuals who are color blind.

[dry wind]

There is a white circle that grows as you get closer to the correct color. Just focus on the white circle. At least 2 of the Devs are colorblind, so they have factored this into regular game design without needing special settings.

[native geode]

My friend was the one who told me he had an issue I’ll tell him! I haven’t had the task yet so I wasn’t aware thank you!

[dry wind]

No problem here's a photo for reference: https://i.imgur.com/cS9gThn.png

[latent arrow]

The only task I mess up sometimes (rarely because the colors are so stark) is the calibrate reactor.

[dry wind]

I heard some people have trouble with the fixing of lights sabotage with the reds and yellows. Not sure if a white dot can be added to those as well.

[latent arrow]

Otherwise if it passes the Chris and Me test and you're not 100% colorblind (no color/ monochromacy) disorders you should be able to do all the tasks.

We change the saturation hue and luminosity. People who are colorblind on those two will actually see one as dark and one as bright (similar colors)

This is more what I see

[stuck reef]

I do indeed despise that "sign out" is on the main screen instead of "quit." Also without a confirmation prompt, so when I THINK I'm hitting a reasonably placed quit button, I instead log out. (I probably sound madder than I am, which is only a little, but hardly even.)

[latent arrow]

We are reworking the entire UI this week

[balmy pelican]

oooohoohhohoho

[ivory herald]

I feel like spy duck should have a reminder beside the skip button that they're spy. I get the role so randomly that I forget and waste my chance to find out somebody's role

[timber obsidian]

i think it's something that comes with experience, and doesn't really require a UI update

[civic turtle]

Love the new map the only concern I have is the dead being able to sabotage the chandelier as it seems a bit op, I killed a few people last night. Is the intention for ghosts to sabotage that ?

[sick verge]

Intentional, if they're standing under it for too long, they're asking for it or your timing is great!

[civic turtle]

i do love it tbh, when we played no one knew about it and i did it on accident and killed the falcon haha

[narrow stag]

Ya If ur smart u won’t stand under it too long lol

[crimson notch]

There is a delay from when you click on the sabo icon and when it actually hits, so you need to time it right or just get really lucky

[timber obsidian]

The dynamic is similar to the the air lock in storage really

if you have the carpet task, it would be smart to do it earlier rather than later

and if you have suspicions that you are being watched, or if you think a ghost is a duck, it might serve you to bait out the chandelier rather than to just walk directly through it

[night hearth]

Or avoid it all together

[timber obsidian]

only cowards avoid sweeping carpets

[night hearth]

I’m a coward thi so I’ll do it

[narrow stag]

I wish I could have the sabo screen open and see the carpet but it’s not see thru haha

[timber obsidian]

Can't have it be too easy for you

again, its not really any different than having the cargo bay doors at the edge of your screen in SS Mother Goose or Black swan

[narrow stag]

Hey. Just wishful thinking. I know 🙂

[final mulch]

That’s why it is still an active environmental. for ghost ducks. 🙂 the Falcon may need to be hunted and there might not be any other killing roles alive. Nexus has shuttle/teleport. Black Swan/mother goose has airlock.

[civic turtle]

Yeh it’s honestly cool that you can do it. I think as I stream it mostly I generally talk when I’m dead as a duck and never thought on it

[rigid lance]

So.. last night I got to try out the new map with some friends! I had the weirdest first round I've ever had too:
Less than two minutes in the game I was killed by a chandelier at the very same time another body was called, I was still in the meeting alive too. one almost-getting-voted-off session later I returned to the spot of my own demise to finish my task, but I decided not to step in the same spot that done myself in. A few seconds later it actually crashed down with me NOT dead! I actually felt like I was in Final Destination for a moment.

Final Duckstination.

[timber obsidian]

A few people have reported similar things, but really it's just the same case of latency

Whether it be this, or instances where people are killed as they go into vents, or meetings are called

They might be alive on their own screens but dead on others

This will eventually be fixed

[waxen oar]

I really like the Falcon role, you guys did a good job. I find it nice because when you have like 8-10 people I have to decide between 2 ducks, but now we can do 1 duck 1 falcon and I find that really effective in terms of balancing so
good job

[latent arrow]

It's a totally different game 🙂

Although 1 duck and 1 falcon is really not being fair to the duck. They work best in pairs.

[civic pike]

Awesome game. Wife and I enjoy it

[ivory herald]

Literally won a game like this earlier tonight, all ducks were dead and I managed to kill the falcon with the chandalier

[obsidian bramble]

Full congrats to the dev team on the falcon role

It makes the mystery of the game so much spicier

Gj gj

The role is fantastic

It also makes geese do their tasks as well

[timber obsidian]

glad you like it

[lone basin]

Dont you guys think the cosmetic shop some cosmetics are a bit overpriced at least the limited time ones in a game with no microtransactions, least i think it doesnt

[regal ridge]

nah, they're there for the bragging rights

[eager dock]

Well gaggle gotta make money somehow for the hats

[lone basin]

Are there microtransactions?

[eager dock]

You can buy gold

[lone basin]

Gold coins?

[regal ridge]

yes

they also give you some silver with the gold coins from what i remember?

[eager dock]

Well you can buy one of the two packs they hace which have some exclusive cosmetics. But you can just buy only gold and i think that doesnt give silver

[lone basin]

yeah but what about the stuff you cant acquire by money the parts you get from doing tasks

[eager dock]

Materials cannot be bought

[quasi elm]

You can't purchase crafting materials but you can alternatively just purchase the crafting items with gold so there's no need to purchase crafting materials.

[timber obsidian]

you can't purchase crafting material

we did put in the mermaid outfit and the dragon body cosmetic as silver only as a reward of sorts to long time players

[ivory herald]

I think what they meant was you can use gold instead of crafting materials, to buy the limited time items.

[main blade]

The Snoop role just sucks. The core mechanic is to sit there afk hoping something happens in 1 out of 4 spots. THe cooldown on the skill is way too long too. 20s. the pigeon can do it in 5. ducks can do it in 5.

Argueably the mechanics' vent switch cooldown should be more than 1s but in the other maps it isnt like he can see much anyways. in mallard manor the snoop has great vision but only 4 spots and only 2 of those spots are commonly worth sitting in.

My suggestion to make the role more fun to play and interactive; is to rebrand it as the "magician" and allow him to reappear in another cabinet on a cooldown.

[crimson notch]

I could see the "Magician" idea being possible, though I'd argue that to balance it, you could still lurk in Cabinet A and exit Cabinet A when you want, but once you decide to swap to Cabinet B, you automatically exit from Cabinet B before you can see if someone is nearby.

[timber obsidian]

these are things we've considered

and we will continue to consider them

for the time being, just consider disabling the role if your group hates it

[ivory herald]

I kind of agree, but at the same time I also like the fact that snoop cannot teleport around the map like the mechanic can. It's a different role, it works differently

[eager dock]

Maybe make it so the snoop can look into peoples pockets. This has no gameplay value but makes him even more unique (joke)

[sharp flume]

Possibly consider allowing the snoop goose to check if there's someone in one of the closets/leafpile? Doesn't say who but can trace wether someone has been in that closet for the past 10 seconds or if someone is in there.

Not the greatest of values but still does add something to it.

[timber obsidian]

but if someone si in there, they might be trapped in there forever

as the snoop tells people that there's someone in there

[final mulch]

🎈

[eager dock]

If someone "yes" in There?

[timber obsidian]

? i mean in vampz's suggestion

[eager dock]

I was just confirming whether you meant si or is

[sharp flume]

Thats fair yeah. Eventually people will have to call a meeting or a body has been found but I can see your scenario happening and creating not so fun situations.

Instead you could give it a check option to see how long ago someone has jumped in a closet, in that situation the duck COULD still be in there, but they could also be long gone, same problem scenario presents itself in case the closet gets checked within like 10 seconds of someone jumping in but the likelihood would be way lower. In reality a snoop could also sit in the leafpile and out you another way anyhow. Duck could jump out and kill the snoop, either way if you get caught that way by the snoop you'd be a pigeon or duck either way. Although I could see that not being wanted still as the same problem scenario could still present itself, however it's a base to start on, some way to check the closets by "snooping" around in them. If you've been in a closet/leafpile and you jump in it at a later time yet a duck or pigeon used it you could get a notification like.. "Someone has been here a while ago/recently/very recently" could also be fun to mess around with

[opal nymph]

no feedback needed, best game

[rustic heron]

Should Detective Goose be able to have its ability increased to 2 for all games?

[timber obsidian]

it's something we've considered to increase detective to two investigations

[eager dock]

If detective got two investigations, would he be able to use his 2nd investigation to "reinvestigate" someone he already investigated?

Big if

[sick verge]

I think in-game voice chat, 16 players, 20+ roles and 3+ game modes all built-in makes GGD an entirely different experience

and you are allowed to have an opinion

I'm curious why you would join a discord around a game that you want to be changed to be less like another social deduction game? Among Us isn't an original concept
Fowl Play (the upcoming game mode) hopefully will be enough of a change for you

[quartz surge]

ggd is very different from at least vanilla among us. modded among is is more similar, however less stable and still includes less features

[balmy pelican]

lmao imagine joining a discord server just to say that, a shame to be honest.

[final mulch]

Look at me. I’m new here.

[eager dock]

Welcome in buzzbar i hope you enjoy this discord server

[dry wind]

Welcome buzzbar! If you need to know how to play a duck, I can teach you.

[placid burrow]

Maybe it just doesn't show for me but can you add so that you can buy coins with your steam money

[dry wind]

In the game if you click the shop button, you should be able to purchase through steam.

[woeful garnet]

would like to mention this as something to consider. 4 times tonight when i've been a killer, i have gotten the slice sound effect and the dinner bell is rung after (not before) and it has cancelled out my kills

[main blade]

i ate a body (5th) as vulture and then the bell was rung at the same time. then falcon won after the meeting

If 2 killers shoot at the same time, shouldnt both die instead of the server picking one?

ive had several games where i simultaneously shot another killer role, got the sound effect for killing them but then got the animation for them killing me.

[dry wind]

Both of these issues, are things that are being looked at to be resolved. Right how a lot of issues come down to player latency. The devs are looking into ways to make this feel better for everyone, so please try to stay patient.

[fluid trellis]

bro

these bots are annoying.

[hushed valley]

I would love to see something like a "camo goose", where you become invisible after standing still for 5 seconds. When camouflaged, killers can still get you (and other things you can do to bodies like use detective on them), however you get some sight like the snoop goose does.

Also (just thought of this now), what if birdwatcher was something like you can pick a point on the map that you can see, and for some amount of time you "fly" to that point and stay put with your normal vision for some amount of time. The birdwatcher flashlight viewing is okay, however, I still think it can be improved upon. BTW I love the game.

[latent arrow]

I think we're going to leave the birdwatcher alone for a while/.

It's been nerfed to a point we feel people are happy with 🙂

[rustic heron]

Should the chandelier environmental kill be limited to 1 per game in the mallard manor map?

[latent arrow]

no, it can easily be avoided by the geese

The map was strategically designed so that the chandelier causes the map to play much bigger than it is.

It's a tiny map when it needs to be, and gets much larger when players become more accustomed to it because of the dangers of that Chandelier.

[dry wind]

Also, from a lore perspecitive, the ceiling is just really tall, and there are multiple chandeliers stacked ontop of each other.

[latent arrow]

The house staff replaces/repairs during dinner I thought?

[dry wind]

No, I am the self proclaimed unofficial lore keeper, and my unofficial word has spoken!

[final mulch]

The ghost players need something to do ….

[dry wind]

Yea, it's no different than ghosts calling airlock or shuttle/teleporter sabos... just like Shane said dividing the map in half is a strategy in it's own.

[timber obsidian]

yeah shane

[dry wind]

LOL I meant Shawn. My phone is being dumb.

[final mulch]

Shawn morphed into Shane. RUN!

[latent arrow]

You spoke, we listened:

Someone wanted a quit button

[dry wind]

Indeed indeed, will non mobile get a chance to watch ads too, or is this from the mobile client?

[latent arrow]

Wait, there's a mobile client?

[dry wind]

Oh, my mistake. I think you guys should totally make one real quick. I think people might really want one.

Shouldn't take more than a few minutes to throw one together.

[desert cargo]

Just make the screen smaller? Gosh just hire me already

[ivory herald]

Having played a game with somebody who was playing via mobile, I think someone else has already beaten the Gaggle team to it.

[glossy mulch]

They already know that but they can't publish a update every week

It's called resolution

[ivory herald]

We're all aware of that, I believe they were having a laugh at the expense of people who request it / demand it frequently

[latent arrow]

If someone was playing on their mobile device it was likely one of our moderators, team, or beta testers.

[ivory herald]

Mobile is also a bit trickier than just updating the resolution and pushing out a port.

[latent arrow]

They have access to the mobile version.

It's already done; we're just polishing up the ui.

[ivory herald]

Yes, it indeed was. I told everybody to shoot them and take their phone

[latent arrow]

No one could possibly create a mobile version of our game and connect to our servers with it.

[glossy mulch]

Sorry I thought he suggested resolution changing

[latent arrow]

So don't steal their phone; they are helping us get it ready to go to everyone else.

[dry wind]

I was the target in question.

[viral coyote]

Maybe don't brag

[dry wind]

I wasn't bragging 😦 I just told Buzzbar I was switching to play in bed.

[glossy mulch]

I am really enjoying the game, it's really good people compare it to among us but the game is better with community opinion and support more roles more player the game its more fun if among us was not a popular game it will not be compared plus among us was based on mafia. The game it's fun and really good for all the roles there is really funny and I never get the same expirience but always a good one the game already is good enough but with more maps and roles coming you can know the game will only get better thank you gaggle for this awesome game

[ivory herald]

They definitely weren't bragging, we as a lobby forced them to stay for one more round. Things looked really smooth, couldn't even tell they weren't using a pc

[glossy mulch]

Always gaggle excellent work

[dry wind]

Glad you're enjoying it. Always nice to hear genuine positive feedback. The team will continue to put out new maps, game modes, and roles. There are 2 more Ducktorian England maps planned, a series of adventure maps after that, a few new game modes, and of course more roles.

[latent arrow]

Loondon?

[glossy mulch]

Map reveal?

[dry wind]

There may be some map previews lurking around somewhere on the discord.

[glossy mulch]

I think when the phone is released there will be lobbies with more of Spanish and other languages

[desert cargo]

Ik

[glossy mulch]

I saw the Egypt preview

[rustic heron]

Maybe the Mallard Manor should have a trap floor where potential geese can fall to their death. Kind of like the chandelier

[ivory herald]

There are going to be three maps set in the Victorian era, so maybe one of the next two?

[timber obsidian]

there's no basement

[glossy mulch]

Like 3 maps per season

[grizzled badger]

then an upsidedown trap door that is on the 2nd floor

[timber obsidian]

The maya Temple map we have coming will have collapsing floors

Where geese will be impaled on spikes

[glossy mulch]

There will not be vents also

Right

[eager dock]

there could be a maya temple version of vents

[dry wind]

There MAY be something similar, as you've seen Mallard Manor bring unique takes on them.

[crimson notch]

Maybe a one-way slide tunnel from the upper part of the map to the lower

[glossy mulch]

Secret passages

[zealous pike]

Honestly I think the rat task speed could be somewhere in between the release of mallard manor and the bugfix. It was easy when it was released, now it's just way too fast.

[cloud solstice]

oh yeah that mouse pops out and goes back in wayyyyy to fast

[zealous pike]

I've heard people in my games all day constantly say how it takes them way too long, sometimes the span of 3-5 rounds (Depending on meetings called/bodies reported) to be able to do it. They were kind of short rounds since its fast paced, but the mouse task got sped up way too much.

[cloud solstice]

i literally just spam click the middle hole hoping it'll pop out there cause its so fast

[zealous pike]

Right xD

[somber juniper]

I for one did notice that the mouse does stay in one hole a little bit longer from time to time. Another factor is that you used to only need to hit it 3 times when it was slower while you need to hit it 5 times now when it's faster.

[ivory herald]

I mean... its ridiculously fast, but 3-5 rounds to hit 5 mice is insane, they're fast, not light speed

^ pointing out that it shouldn't take several rounds to hit a few mice, even if they're faster now. Practice

[zealous pike]

Fair enough on that, I mean it doesnt take me that long but, it did them, they werent used to it.

[latent arrow]

I gave it to my 9 year old niece who doesn't play computer games at all and she got it in under 15 seconds.

That was the litmus test; so far we've heard a lot of people complaining but most people finish it faster than the organize boxes task.

[dry wind]

You could always slow it down, and make them slap the mouse 50 times instead.

[timber obsidian]

or we could go the other way

just make it even faster

[dry wind]

1 mouse slap, with 1ms of time to slap it? I'm down.

[timber obsidian]

i think the limit of human reaction time is like 0.12 s

so we should make it faster than that

[latent arrow]

It's actually faster than a lot of other tasks.

This was me with my weak hand for example, you don't have to wait there like Mr. Miyagi trying to snipe it with one click 🙂

As you can see I am not lightning fast (far from it)

Speed up or slow down?

[narrow stag]

So. It may be done on purpose cause of the twitch drops, but GGD is currently not a taggable game on Facebook Gaming. Any plans on that? I think it’d be amazing to have them add it so content creators who stream exclusively on Facebook can tag it appropriately

[sick verge]

In the process of doing this 🙂

[narrow stag]

You da man! Thanks again for the great game and the awesome lobbies I’ve had with you 😉

[winter rover]

I'm trying to get the update so I can play, how can I do that?

[viral coyote]

Either update on steam or download from Gaggle.fun directly

You may need to restart steam for it to pick it up

[empty basalt]

not sure if already stated but achievements may need updated unless water is in space now? R-ejected achievement still happens on new map when you drown and says "get ejected 100 times into space"

[timber obsidian]

you dont know whats at the bottom of that pond

[crimson notch]

Presumably the planet in the game is in space, no?

[fluid trellis]

yeah its a pretty deep pond

[latent arrow]

Thanks for updating us, it should just say get voted out

[empty basalt]

Bottom of pond is where the space maps happen? woah the goose world is crazy

[fluid trellis]

that means spaceships are just giant submarines here i guess

[eager dock]

Noted

[regal ridge]

Do you not have to craft the throwing knives kill on Mallard manor?

[timber obsidian]

nope

free

enjoy your knives

[regal ridge]

will do, thank you

[void prism]

1. I like the look of the new kill animations, but why does Cannon require two stonks? Looking at the ratio of materials across the new kill animations it should only require one. 2) You said you released 6 new kill animations with the MM patch and I only see 5, what is the 6th one?

[latent arrow]

chandelier is another

5 are purchasable, we adjust material drop rates

you should find more stonks

if you're quick 🙂

[void prism]

Thanks for the quick reply, that's good to hear, but I still feel like Cannon should only require one Stonk.

[latent arrow]

You don't have to get it if you feel its priced out 🙂

[covert socket]

Is there a way to adjust the graphic size of the game? I stream and only have one screen so need to make games small in order to be able to see the chat while streaming. I play in the 1300 X 900 to 1400 X 900 range for games. I am not seeing a way to do that in settings.

[latent arrow]

As of yet there is no way but before we reach our final release we will have options to change resolution when not in fullscreen mode. This is something we will most definitely have in the near future.

[marble summit]

It’s a great game. But there’s something that should be noted. If you are silenced and killed in the same round, it will say that you are silenced and you can’t talk in dead chat for the rest of the round. Just saying.

[latent arrow]

^^^ This is a very minor update, we can look into making sure you're not silenced as a ghost 🙂

[narrow stag]

Mouse task on Mallard Manor is WAY to fast. It was slow before.... but now is overtuned to be too fast. Literally up for not even half a second before it moves

[timber obsidian]

how long is it taking you to finish it?

[narrow stag]

depending on how fast i can try and click em, sometimes taking me 15+ secodns trying to catch the mice

[fluid trellis]

last time, it took me 20 seconds

its like playing a duel in the wild west

a bit to late on moving your mouse and you miss it

[narrow stag]

I just think its slightly overtuned.

[latent arrow]

If you scroll up you will find a video I posted

using my off-hand

just randomly clicking and slowly trying to hit the mice 🙂

We're fairly happy with where it's at.

It is intended to take 12-18 seconds to complete for those with slower reaction times. We suspect players will get better as they go on and get experience with it.

[narrow stag]

There should be a report option. Just had someone join my lobby an just repeatedly said the N word

[sick verge]

There is a report feature in public games, by hosting a private game, you are inviting people into your lobby. In private lobbies you have the option to kick and/or mute players

[narrow stag]

That's a bit disappointing. I regularly use the duckscord to fill lobbies and its kinda disgusting that thats the people we get :/ Still think we should allow the room leader to report. But thats just my opinon

[narrow stag]

I respect the mechanics of the report. More frustrating over the influx of questionable players I had tonight. The team is doing an amazing job on the game! I played it for hours today! Keep up the great work gaggle crew 🙂

[ivory herald]

Is it possible to make the smoke in the library on Mallard manor somewhat easier to see through if you're already dead. Its kinda boring not being able to see the kills when you've finished your tasks

[timber obsidian]

ghosts can enjoy the suprirse like everyone else!

i don't think it'd be that difficult to do, but i really do feel like its more enjoyable for everyone this way

[narrow stag]

Just curious if there is a reason things like killing animations can’t be bought with gold? I think if someone is going to spend real money on the game, wouldn’t it be cool to be able to buy those?

[desert cargo]

I'd say it's so that people who really play the game can get rewarded with something that can't be straight up bought

[empty basalt]

Probably because it encourages people to play the game and experience it since the materials are gained via doing tasks, it means that instead of just investing money they actually can experience the game and be rewarded for that alone

[green spruce]

would be nice if there where a majority ready up option

so that when 75% ready up, it can start

i downloaded this game yesterday and already got 4 games that could not start because of someone beeing afk or griefing

[viral coyote]

In private servers the host gets the ability to kick people out. In our beta group we say, ready or kick

[latent arrow]

We don't want to hide cool animations behind paywalls because it's not "you" who gets to see it. It's the other players. We felt this was a terrible cash grab and felt morally wrong. Cosmetics affect the way you look/feel and how other player's see you so it felt more appropriate for that to be the way to let people support us financially.

[narrow stag]

Completely understand 🙂

[void locust]

Do one have to get banned 1 minut when on get disconect from the game? it happen to often when play and lose conectien....yes i have good computer and my internet works

[latent arrow]

Leaving games early a lot will trigger a temporary restriction (usually a very short time). Even if it is manual or unintentional disconnect.

May I ask you to DM me the results of a stability test?

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

Also where are you connecting from?

[void locust]

Sweden

[narrow stag]

On the vote result screen, you can't see who is talking and very often people will troll with blaring sound board noises. Perhaps once vote result comes up, no more sound. Cause then you can't tell whos "talking"

[crimson notch]

I mute people who constantly blare loud noise in the game

[timber obsidian]

I think Aramil's point here is that you can't tell who to mute

which is a fair point for sure

[cinder ibex]

I've always thought you could make the entire box for a player light up if they're talking or something to make it more obvious.

[timber obsidian]

That's on a list of potential qol changes i have noted

iwill add aramil's suggestion

[latent arrow]

I like this, no sense in not updating it > I am also a fan of having peoples geese and names pop up at the bottom of the screen if they talk

especially during that scene

[narrow stag]

yes either have them pop up at bottom, or turn off mics :/ Literally had someone blasting a soundboard repeatedly on that screen to prevent detection

[latent arrow]

We dont want to turn off mics during that phase as people generally laugh

In public games voice will typically be off

in private games we're really against policing

[narrow stag]

Can we make it then that the names of whos talking appear at bottom?

[torn lark]

just have eight ducks and eight geese on both sides with light up name when talking

i got blamed twice for that

ki do use sounds but nothing obnoxious

and the tts

[latent arrow]

I think I have an interesting idea

@timber obsidian what do you think of honking geese head images popping in from different sides of the screen with their nicknames/colors

[timber obsidian]

hmm

just for the eject screen?

it seems like a strange change to me since the meeting screen would use a different system for showing who's talking

[torn lark]

the whole time

ya

eject screen

c

just something to indicate

sorry

but I think people would enjoy shawns idea

even if odd

[timber obsidian]

maybe

there are alternative solutions for the problem at hand

[torn lark]

I am done rambling haha

and ok

[latent arrow]

Just for the eject screen yes, would make it feel kinda fun and interactive.

[torn lark]

and I won't get blamed. hehe

[sick verge]

we just blame Xizta for everything don't worry

[torn lark]

hes very sus

[dry wind]

Everything is usually my fault anyway.

[ivory herald]

I'm sorry guys, I thought this was a task

[dry wind]

[narrow stag]

Just wanna give a great shoutout to the team here at Gaggle for the amazing game! Thank you also for reading the feedback and responding to suggestions/criticisms/etc in a calm, polite, and efficient manner. Hope everyone is staying safe and the servers come back soon ❤️

[peak nimbus]

I must say, I was incredibly impressed at how quickly the team saw my bug report and how quickly they have started fixing it!!! Heres to the Gaggle team!

[latent arrow]

It's affecting 1000's of users, we've identified the issue with our hosts. Some players may still be connected but rejoining/reconnecting is very unlikely at this time.

Thanks to everyone for your ongoing support.

We're hustling right now to find a workaround.

[bronze solar]

I found this game by watching FreeMasonLive on youtube and i absolutely love it. Thanks to you devs who made it happen and are always listening to the community. 👏👏

[main blade]

Duck HUnt would be better if it didn't spawn people with the duck each round

[timber obsidian]

This has been suggested before and I have noted this down

[zinc shoal]

Still having issues people with getting upset for getting killed doing the chandelier task since there is no good task associated with it. Any plans in the future to get this fixed?

[timber obsidian]

Not at the moment

If people keep getting killed unlocking it, why don't they try unlocking it while the coast is clear? like if there's a lights sabotage or a fire sabotage for example. Or just ignoring it altogether, and if they get killed or voted out, unlock it as a ghost.

People have been playing with mallard manor for about a week at this point, i'd like to have some faith that they'll adapt

[zinc shoal]

I am inclined to agree with you. I personally have never been killed for doing that task cause I wait till people are not there. I just figured I would ask cause it started an argument apparently when people were dead.

[timber obsidian]

we'll keep watch

i suppose if no one ever learns, we might be inclined to add a task there

[zinc shoal]

I am hoping they just learn. I like the idea of getting caught being an actual risk.

[crimson notch]

It reminds me of my first time playing Among Us and I didn't know that the gas task always went top first then bottom. Got called on it and ejected and never made that mistake again.

First time you die that way might feel cheap, but after that it's on you to learn and adapt.

[regal ridge]

i just do it when others are around for the memes (obvious dodos are obvious)

[narrow stag]

Just wanna give the Gaggle team some kudos to working thru the DNS and connection issues from the storms hitting around the country. Thanks for being so communicative with us the players to let us know what’s going on 💜

[craggy grotto]

I see that there's an option to turn off the alarm screen flash, which is great! Could an option be added to turn off the one goose left alarm siren? I can actually handle the flashing lights better than I can handle the siren! I have sensory processing sensitivity and my hearing is brutally acute 😭

[latent arrow]

You already have volume controls

[twilit cedar]

there is a huuuge lag spike whenever I press copy code button

[green spruce]

i dont think ive ever had this problem could it be your compooter?

[latent arrow]

@twilit cedar copying to clipboard is an operating system threaded request meaning the lag is being caused by the operating system. Can you please DM me your system specifications?

[lime terrace]

Getting rewards from tasks isa bit grindy. Been playing for 2-3 months and only have 70 cogwheels

[latent arrow]

You havent spent anything?

We have seen on record people earning 100 cog wheels in a week or less.

[lime terrace]

No not ever.

There were also more people in the lobby agreeing that it's hard so I assumed there are more feeling this way

[latent arrow]

Which map are you playing on mostly?

[willow knoll]

There were loads on the first two maps, on the Manor I've yet to see a gear wheel.

[lime terrace]

We tend to switch maps a lot, but mainly the manor lately.

But even on the other maps its been a bit of a struggle

To get any loot I mean, not just cogwheels

[willow knoll]

IIRC weren't some tasks more likely to drop certain items? I think the vending machine gave out gearwheels quote often.

[viral coyote]

Mallard Manor does have a completely different set of crafting items. That might be why you have not got many cog wheels recently. There is different drop rates for all of them, it maybe that you just haven't been getting that task often or you don't get round to doing it.

[obtuse meteor]

Someone keeps joining a private lobby to scream, its abuse, i know its private and we have to self regulate, but its near impossible to kick this guy cause he comes in so quick to scream

its "private" but open for lfg, its quite annoying -- is there a way you could impliment a way for the lobby host to "ban" people who already left the room

[empty basalt]

I'd like this if there was a limit. E.g. if someone joins a lobby but doesnt stay for a game they need to be pardoned/can be banned or if they say join a waiting lobby for under 1 minute. It would prevent the trolls but also would hopefully avoid abuse

[latent arrow]

There are a lot of corner cases with this but once we introduce a friends list we expect this issue to go away as you'll likely know everyone in your lobby

[shrewd violet]

It would be nice if there was a role making guide which has all the GGDHelpbot messages so that players know what type of roles are not going to be included in the game. Any other useful insights from the devs or experienced players about role creation would also be greatly appreciated.

[timber obsidian]

i could do that

and i just might

im pretty sure people won't read it and will suggest things that violate all the rules anyways, but i suppose it might be fun for people to take a look at some of balancing considerations

[latent arrow]

The guide to designing roles for GGD by HortBart

[shrewd violet]

That would be great if you could do it! I’m sure that I and lots of other players would benefit from it, even if some people don’t read it. Thanks for considering the idea

[pure flicker]

Hey, if there's a guide for role creation, I might be able to come up with my own. My only idea is an executioner style role (think Town of Salem or the Town of Us mod for Among Us) with Turkey being the bird, but I already know you've at least looked at the roles from both of those things.

[crimson needle]

Have you guys considered this role from Town of Us?

We have! We will carefully examine most role ideas to consider their subsequent effect on the overall balance of classic mode. Please check out #850063497877913630 to see some ideas that we are tinkering with.

[sick verge]

check out #rules and theres some good guidelines in there regarding posting a role

or ideas in general

[pure flicker]

I would, however my problem is not with posting ideas, but with coming up with them. I don't actually have any ideas yet (again, the executioner comes from other games). Perhaps I misunderstood what PhoenixWrong was suggesting? I was thinking they meant a guide that would help others create their own roles.

[sage bough]

I suggest you guys to remove the new ghost costume. It looks like something else... A few people on stream were telling me to take it off.

[timber obsidian]

we were pretty careful to specifically avoid resembling the pointed hooded variety

but we will keep your feedback in mind

[grave rover]

Lots confusing it for white it doesn't show enough of the main chosen color, maybe a cutout more around eyes etc but it's such an awesome costume ❤️❤️❤️ 😀

[jovial pulsar]

I wanna know why you guys alienated people who spent hundreds of hours playing the older maps by making the new Frankenstein Outfits only craftable with Victorian items.

[sweet iris]

Well, you have a whole two months to play the new map for those.

[still merlin]

Im just playing Mallard Manor and wanted to say, you can see the effort put into it, its really polished and cool, well done

[latent arrow]

We gave over two months of craft time on the new map to ensure people who play the game will be able to earn it. We're not alienating anyone. The game is free to play entirely 🙂

Your old crafting materials will still be useful. Just wait...

[jovial pulsar]

Thank you, I just wanted to get a better understanding why.

[twilit cedar]

can you guys please make it so that when you press ready and the chat buttons you dont move. Its **pretty **annoying not gonna lie

[timber obsidian]

i'll put it in the potential quality of life upgrades

[dry wind]

https://i.imgur.com/jZcK70W.png Might want to update the text here to say within the same round.

Played with some newer players that didn't understand that.

[timber obsidian]

Fair point, I think the splash screen does say before the next meeting

[latent arrow]

It most certainly does say it

We wanted to keep these texts as short as possible

[dry wind]

Yea, splash screen does for sure, but players learning the game didn't understand that on the description, we just had a collective "oooooooooooooh" when they found out.

[latent arrow]

That's good 🙂

The more we write the less people tend to read we find. If it did say, "Infect everyone in a round to win" versus "infect everyone to win" less people will read it.

We want to say as much as we need to and keep some of the specific nuances to the splash screen.

[undone sigil]

Most people play classic+ right now, kinda the soul of the game. Hope fowl play changes that

[flint stream]

Not sure if it's actually in the game because I haven't played in a while but is the 'Snoop Goose' a new role? I can't find the role's explanation in the live or prospective birds channels.

[cinder ibex]

It's new with the launch of Mallord Manor, it replaces the Mechanic, as there are no vents on the new map.

The Snoop Goose can hide in various closets or a pile of leaves outside.

[flint stream]

Ah okay. Thank you! 😄

[slate heath]

Idk how it would work but an option for "streamer mode" would be cool. maybe blur the role image and name on screen. And since not everyone is a streamer maybe a way to disguise the role in the meetings and also disguise roles on ghost screen during meetings so others who arent streamers can still see roles.

[dry wind]

So...to clarify, you want an opt out of revealing everyone's roles to yourself, in case you're a streamer, to prevent stream sniping, yet allowing others to use and enjoy role reveal while it's on?

I see your point, and your intentions, but that would only solve the problem for you, not everyone streaming may want to check this off. It seems like it would just be best to turn role reveal off entirely if you're dealing with stream snipers, or just not invite them back. Stream sniping may also fall under the ToS of your respective platform, if it continues you can look into that and make reports as necessary.

[slate heath]

the idea is it would be an option for anyone who is streaming. a checkbox like "no mic mode" or something. it was just an idea to turn off certain role revealing features for all streamers who choose to use it and let others enjoy the features who aren't streaming. I can see how it would continue to be an issue if not every streamer used the feature tho.

[dry wind]

Yea, I get you. It just seems like as an option it wouldn't get utilized enough to justify it, outside of forcing it on streamers, and forcing players or penalizing them because they stream probably isn't the best course of action, especially if they're trying to produce content. I'd say just turn role reveal off, or if you find out who is doing it, you can handle it accordingly. In your case, since I know you use twitch primarily in their current ToS at the time of me posting, this is what they have listed: https://i.imgur.com/VHWPolN.png

[slate heath]

understandable. Its just one of the million random ideas that pop into my head and get blurted out without thinking all the way through.

[dry wind]

I mean that's what the channel is for. It may spawn an entirely new thought process for someone.

[undone sigil]

People call GGD a ripoff but let's be honest. Amogus is a ripoff itself and anyways GGD is much more fun

[crimson notch]

To get even close to what Goose Goose Duck offers, you have to install mods for Among Us and run a separate program for proxy chat. Default Among Us doesn't even come close.

[undone sigil]

Yep

Plus I've found GGD devs do more and listen much more

[balmy pelican]

basically goose goose duck is hot

[ocean vector]

Maybe it's been suggested, has it ever been considered to let the Birdwatcher hear what they see when they activate their ability to see through walls?

[ocean vector]

I disagree, the snoop role isn't as bad as you make it out to be (but it isn't quite fun either for most people). How I play the snoop role is to keep an eye on who is going where when they pass by. Most times a death will not happen by a cabinet/pile of leaves but if you keep track of who is going where and if you suspect any strange behavior, you can come out when no one is around and try to see the nearby rooms for a potential dead body. If I see one player pass by and soon another goes through the same pathing, I will contemplate if a murder is about to happen and try to come out to see if one does happen. I've gotten several murderers voted out this way.

[ivory herald]

While GGD is undeniably better, this statement is actually not fully accurate. You simply need to connect to a 3rd party server that hosts the mods such as skeld (dot net).

[crimson notch]

Interesting! The two sets of mods for AU that I've played both required manual installation.

[still merlin]

can we have an ability to have more of the same role like having all geese be birdwatcher or something for custom games

and i know it isnt wanted but i really want to be able to hear alive players as a ghost

like really badly

[crimson needle]

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

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

[still merlin]

i know but i want it

i know

[crimson notch]

This could be interesting maybe as part of a new mode, but if multiple people could be the same role that makes deducktion vastly more difficult.

[still merlin]

yh i would imagine it being a function for like privates, or maybe a separate custom mode?

[ivory herald]

I suggested a pigeon race gamemode several weeks ago that is basically this idea but specific to pigeon. It got some interest, but not a lot :(

[timber obsidian]

rest assured, i did think about it

all things get read!

[final mulch]

^^

[desert forum]

hey so i know to unlock the maid outfit you have to do a specific 2 cleaning tasks 500 times. i think there should be tasks on the newer 2 maps that count for that as well.

[zinc mountain]

That’s something we will consider. We still want to incentivize people to play other existing maps as well.

[desert forum]

was there a reason for the change in design for "that red dress"?

i had a perfectly hilarious outfit with the old design and was sad to see it changed

[supple bronze]

Possibly already suggested but is it possible to update the mechanic role so that if you are the mechanic your chance of getting components from tasks is increased?

[void prism]

Why should any role have higher material drop rates than another? I get all my tasks done before the game ends when I'm mechanic most of the time.

[zinc mountain]

Yep, theres no reason for us to have higher material drops.

If you guys want to know which tasks drop what though, highly recommend @void prism 's guides on steam

[shrewd violet]

I have a question about the Kamikaze Duck role: If the Kamikaze duck kills all remaining players with their bomb (including themselves of course), do they win?

[latent arrow]

Yes

[timber obsidian]

a Danero shoutout!

[latent arrow]

This will be fixed soon, our apologies

[ocean vector]

Are lover geese exempt from doing tasks if the requirement to do tasks is enabled?

[crimson notch]

Geese should usually be working toward completing their tasks. If you have confirmed that your lover partner is a Duck, you could ignore your tasks to ensure the Geese don't get a task win while your Lover Duck kills everyone.

[ocean vector]

The way I see it is the lovers are a separate team too so they shouldn't be obligated to do tasks.

[crimson notch]

They are still firmly either a Goose or a Duck and can win with the normal Goose or Duck win conditions. The Lover modifier is an additional win condition with an additional risk.

[autumn oar]

[void prism]

I know there's been some chat of hidden achievements and whether they can be earned on MM or other upcoming Victorian era maps. On that note, can R-ejected only be earned on MS/BS/NC? I'm just going to assume that's a yes if I don't hear back.

[timber obsidian]

I'm not a hundred percent sure on it, but I believe getting voted out on MM contributes to R-ejected

[topaz sluice]

Question for Devs -- What was behind the decision to now have everyone spawn at the dinner table in the manor after every round? Why is the random spawn taken away? I'm not sure what is being gained by having everyone disburse in the same area instead of giving everyone a moment of space to start the next round

[viral coyote]

Are you playing in Classic?

Classic Plus has the ability to do random start positions

[latent arrow]

As far as I know random positions are still available on Mallard Manor

[topaz sluice]

Classic Plus is the mode we are in,, played 6 games in a row with everyone spawning at the table

[latent arrow]

Are you sure you don't have random spawn positions checked off?

[topaz sluice]

Random spawn was checked. We will kick the room and start a new one and see if maybe it was glitched out

I'll report back

[lapis pier]

Small visual glitch on the balcony corner (no, I'm not fat)

[topaz sluice]

Seems to be OK since that lobby was closed. Haven't spawned at the table since.

[quartz cargo]

Can you add a freeplay mode where you can switch from goose to duck?

[prisma steeple]

I don't know if I mentioned this in feedback but the Halloween outfits are all freaking amazing, you guys rock!

[void prism]

Xhilemac Is spitting straight facts the halloween outfits are bar none the best ones yet. Keep up the great work!

[dry wind]

There is currently an explore mode allowing you to try out the maps and do tasks, and this just reminded me, I just held Shawn up against a wall, to make it so the explore mode goose can check out the vent system / hiding spots, which may make it into the next update.

[final mulch]

It would be really cool if you could choose a different colour than white goose in Explore mode

[latent arrow]

I don't believe in choice.

[prisma steeple]

What if we made the duck rainbow in explore more or switch color every time they vent?

[latent arrow]

Ok

[final mulch]

Rainbow geese... hrmmn...

[latent arrow]

5 star ideas being thrown around here.

[faint spruce]

new UI is so huge, kinda liked the overview when everything was smaller

[dry wind]

It's in preparation for the upcoming mobile release, to streamline everything. The old UI will always have a place in my heart, but spending the past few days with this new one, I've gotten used to it. When switching back over to the old UI after testing the new one, the old one started feeling more and more clunky and outdated. Give it some time, I'm sure you'll come around.

[lime terrace]

I actually dont get drops for much at all. Like its rare I get a drop for anything no matter what object it is

[latent arrow]

How many hours do you have logged?

Drop rates are global, do you get anything?

[finite bobcat]

New UI is great, but it feels a bit off that in the game selection menu, if I press the up arrow it goes down to the next option and vice versa. Could it perhaps be changed to go up if I press the up arrow and down by pressing down?

Could we also get some darker colors like forest green, a darker blue, a darker purple, and then perhaps a couple of unlockable colors like a silver and gold?

[silver wharf]

I haven't played a match yet since the update, so my opinion is very subject to change. I don't think I like the fact that bodyguards can have a neutral as a target. Being a protected vulture for example seems like it would be very frustrating as you can't eat many bodies without being seen by the bodyguard assigned to you, only having the start of rounds to make plays which might not even be enough time before the bodyguard finds you.

[latent arrow]

The reason we did this is simple, if you know your target is limited to only geese then you're increasing the knowledge of what roles someone isn't. Knowing someone isn't a goose and is a neutral is actually a lot more powerful than you think.

We provide handy check-marks next to roles that allow you to choose whether to play with them or not. We have 24 roles right now and we suspect that not everyone is going to enjoy playing with them all. 🙂

[silver wharf]

Once again I haven't played yet since I'm a bit busy at the moment, so my opinion about my little nitpick about the role will very likely change after actually trying it. Overall I really like the idea of the role and can't wait to try it. .

[lime terrace]

I have a total of 50 hours by now. I things very rarely. I have a total of - wait misread

70 gears, 17 paper, 22 space god, 19 tea leaves, 4 blue cables, 3 blue silk, 5 gooseonium, 1 crystal, 1 gmd microchip

[latent arrow]

I will look up your actual in game play time and cross reference this against the average of other players

Do you generally max tasks in your game? or do you play with 5-6?

[prisma steeple]

@silver wharf If I'm the body guard and you are the vulture, I get my bonus if you win cause you live 😛

not everyone will think like me on that exchange since you are a goose team member but..... I like having 2 teams to hedge bets on

[woeful scroll]

I've played several hours now myself just to get 10 gears so I can get the alien kill. Still need 2 more. And now with the find lobby screen change I am only seeing half the lobbies I use to and no refresh button to search again

[timber obsidian]

if you're playing games in mallard manor, you won't get any gears

you can also just go to the filter again to search for other lobbies

[topaz sluice]

Can we make a request to put the refresh button back in?

[latent arrow]

Yes

We're talking about it now

I am literally looking at where it can go on the page

[topaz sluice]

Any talk about making the lobby search results sortable again for (Mode/Map/Status) row?

[latent arrow]

Filter sorts them by ping

It will be in next update

Maybe tonight

with a bit of a surprise too

[topaz sluice]

Awesome! Dev team is great! Keep up the good work and appreciate the quick responses.

[latent arrow]

Just gotta spin up 1000 servers

[empty basalt]

Got a minor one again if you kill someone close enough to the wall in the secret hallway on Mallord manor you can see a tiny part of the blood outside of the house by the leaf pile. I circled it cause its small https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/841437313987903549/885995368163192842/unknown.png Unsure if its been reported before i've seen other ones but don't remember seeing that one

[twilit cedar]

when a loby is in a game we should be able to spectate it cuz we dont know when the round ends

[latent arrow]

Spectating isn't so simple but it can be done. We're not saying no, but we are going to say not right now. We have ideas on how to do it but want to make sure.

[latent arrow]

I'll fix it

[finite bobcat]

This also applies to the map selection menu, pressing the left arrow goes to the next option on the right, and the right arrow goes to the next option on the left, feel that left should go left and right should go right.

[latent arrow]

The arrows act like you're spinning a wheel

the icons can be brought up forward by clicking on them

[finite bobcat]

Ah yeah, will just do that then, just feels weird that it goes in the opposite direction that the arrows seem like they'd go in

[latent arrow]

If you click the right arrow it would feel more weird if the wheel spun left.

We tried it

[silver wharf]

Having played some matches, my opinion about the bodyguard getting neutral targets has shifted completely and I find it quite enjoyable. Mayhaps the bodyguard could win alongside their neutral target if they win, but I'd imagine that could be too farfetched.

[sudden prawn]

I played a few games as Bodyguard and most of my games I spent looking for the target. Maybe if the Bodyguard could get an arrow that follows target, sorta like vulture does with bodys

[crimson notch]

In my experience, the Bodyguard role is at its most fun with proxy chat on and roleplaying the role over voice

[ocean vector]

yes, it does. i got the achievement a few days ago and was playing on MM since it came out.

[ivory herald]

Had a game yesterday where the duck claimed to be the bodyguard, but the target was the canadian

[vernal kindle]

I played the Felon Island demo but didn't get the jumpsuit in GGD

[viral coyote]

Did the lock remove itself from the cosmetic? Because it will still cost silver but your ability to purchase it gets enabled

[vernal kindle]

it still has the lock

[twilit cedar]

Spectating is a + but it doesnt need to happen right now. The Best think at the moment for me would be that when you Press go and it tells you that the loby is playing a game there should be an option to leave and an option to stay. When you sellect stay you will stay loading and when the game ends it ll automaticly put you in the lobby so you dont have to check it every 5 mins.

Only issue ı can see with this is that the users sound will be 0 and when they Join from the waiting they wont Press ready and people will wait for them but if that is the case you can just kick the user out

[wanton karma]

So you only did demo and not the full escape room. If you do the full you can unlock the cosmetic.

[zinc mountain]

Yes this, you need to play the full one

[void prism]

The new gold/silver coins look like super generic mobile game coins now, which I really don't like. I really liked the old designs as they had a lot of charm and were unique to GGD.

[topaz sluice]

Was thinking the same thing Danero. Feels less like a PC game and geared all for mobile.

[latent arrow]

We are trying to streamline the experience we have between mobile and desktop without losing any of the game quality.

Some of the UI elements needed changing to help our friends who don't have PC's to play on.

We're not gearing the game for mobile: we're just making it more mobile friendly.

We are sacrificing zero quality of the game to go to mobile which is an engineering feat unto itself.

[vale grotto]

[latent arrow]

It was a while since we dropped a patch so we figured why not add content.

[candid maple]

do you think you could also add the option back for hosts opening a new lobby to enable a no mic lobby before they open it? i really loved that feature :/ if not, it's okay, but i thought i would ask(:

[latent arrow]

If you make a public game you can disable voice chat

is this what you're referring to?

[regal ridge]

i'm so happy i can plug my mic in without restarting the game now

Keep up the great work, that is all

[zinc mountain]

[rough gorge]

love the 2 new colours. wondering who suggested them and where the red velvet cake they were clearly inspired by is at. I'd love a slice

[sick verge]

months and months of searching for never before colours. Glad we finally got discovered them so we can share them with the world

oh wait... apparently it took ~5min

[rough gorge]

and all it took was a delicious cake! astonishing

[crimson notch]

The cake is a lie

[zinc mountain]

lol we were implementing the redesign and we needed 2 more colors to fill out the last row

so we put a blindfold on @void iron and gave him 2 pins and put him in front of a giant colorwheel

then we spun him around, took away the pins, gave him a baseball bat and he hit a pinata, in which 2 colors dropped out

[latent arrow]

It's actually the skin color from the back side of my knee

[digital ridge]

I'd honestly love a lavender/lilac color ❤️

[rough gorge]

I would also love a light purpley lilac

[woeful garnet]

These new hitman and bodyguard roles have a huge meta/broke aspect that in my opinion because it pretty much allows the dodo to be instantly cleared by the bodyguard which i feel ruins the point of that role. i think the dodo should be excluded from the possible target, granted the other neutrals can be protected it doesnt make sense for the dodo.

[timber obsidian]

One person (the bodyguard) can claim that the dodo isn't a duck, yes

I don't know that i'd characterize that dynamic as a 'huge meta/broke aspect'

[faint spruce]

I have to somewhat agree on "Bodyguard protecting Neutrals" can lead to weird situations.
A Bodyguard might be assigned to protect whomever the Sheriff is trying to kill. And if both are successful at performing their job, it's 2 geese down in favor of a Neutral.

[crimson notch]

Bodyguard can protect neutrals, so the VIP could be a Vulture Falcon or Pigeon too.

So the bodyguard knows the VIP is not a Duck, but that's not the same as being clear

[timber obsidian]

this is intentional

[quasi elm]

I know it's been responded to above already, but just wanting to echo UI feedback that the navigation arrow buttons moving the selection in the opposite direction of the arrow are counter intuitive.

[latent arrow]

When switched we get more complaints

Its more intuitive for most people to move the wheel in the direction of the arrow.

if you click on the target you want to bring forward, it will move the wheel that way.

This is one of those things that sits on a 60/40 split

[quasi elm]

Several people in my lobby found it annoying that the store button opens the steam overlay.

[obtuse meteor]

then don't push the button

[quasi elm]

For additional context. Before the UI update, all the purchase options were displayed in game to let you know what is purchasable without opening the steam overlay.
Just forwarding feedback.

[obtuse meteor]

they still are? -- I never saw anything in the previous UI about real $ prices and packages, it always led to steam

[latent arrow]

They werent, you still had to click shop to get to real $ purchase options

Nothing has changed.

[lime terrace]

Agree with this! A queue system would be awesome

[latent arrow]

Something we are considering for a quality of life patch but its really not simple at all to implement

[void prism]

Just want to reiterate I've heard from several folks saying the Hitman should not target neutrals and/or lovers, and I stand behind this. What you call "interesting," many people find infuriating.

[latent arrow]

Putting it next to only a goose gives a hard clear. This is far less interesting and takes out a ton of gameplay.

[void prism]

I'm honestly not sure which is worse for the state of the game, the hard clear or it being infuriating.

[timber obsidian]

you can always try playing with the setting off

it really sounds like you and your group would prefer to play with the other roles

[lapis pier]

People have different opinions on different aspects of the game, and what makes it fun. I know a lot of people who enjoy it the way it is, and for those who don't they can play without it. We'd gladly hear input on potential improvements though ^^

[void prism]

Yeah when I'm host I'll probably have Hitman/Bodyguard off. It just seems like it's so easy for the hitman to kill the target, and it really sucks getting killed early as a Neutral because there's a target on your back. It already seems hard enough to win as a neutral without this being added to the mix.

[timber obsidian]

overall im pretty okay with all this. all our role additions are purely optional, and from what i can tell a lot of people are having fun with the new roles

its always been our stance to give players new options and people shouldn't really feel any pressure to play with them

I don't think they're disrupt the balance of the game in a way that ruins the game

if we find that there is overwhelming dislike of the role we'll update accordingly

like when we nerfed the poor birdwatcher into the ground

[crimson notch]

RIP Birdwatcher

[latent arrow]

It should be difficult to win as a neutral. It should be 1/n - where n is players in game.

You're on your own team, if it was as easy to win as a neutral as it was a duck or a goose the game would feel terribly broken

[quasi elm]

For my lobby on MM map, 1 Falcon wins as many times as a 2 duck team. That may change as the meta evolves. Not complaining; I think the Falcon should rightfully win more than 1/n games similar to how the monster in DBD should win more than 1/5 games. But MM is especially helpful to the Falcon since there are several good places to hide. If the Falcon Hunt mode wasn't a thing, then I would expect the Falcon to win 1/n times. But it's still a new role so I imagine people will get better at sniffing out the Falcon as time goes on. Example, last night someone in my lobby admitted to killing someone but then proved they weren't the Falcon by getting everyone to skip vote and after everyone voted, they named a player and voted for that player.

It felt a little cheesy to people so we didn't do it after that.

[dry wind]

If you know where those hiding spots are, it's usually a good idea to grab your fellow duck and corner the falcon. The Falcon Hunt was added to prevent ducks from hiding in vents/closets denying the falcon from ever winning in a 2v1 or 1v1 scenario.

And basically holding lobbies hostage in the process.

[quasi elm]

Yeah, the reason for it to prevent hiding makes sense. But most of the time when it's down to falcon hunt mode there's 1 or zero ducks remaining and likely the remaining 2 players are not with each other to try to coordinate a falcon hunt at all within the span of just 60 seconds. And if you don't have a kill button then race to task win is the best you can do as a goose.

Again, I'm not complaining. I think the Falcon SHOULD win more often than vulture / dodo / pigeon.

And in our games, we have had goose wins by task win before Falcon Hunt expired or, in one game, the Vigi found the Falcon at 1 second remaining.

Even still, Falcon wins just as many times as 2 ducks

[dry wind]

In my experience, with more of the veteran players, the ducks check the library balcony for falcons/dodos and they take them out early, or the falcon knows that area is being watched, which forces them out of hiding making them more vulnerable, and especially in the falcon's case to slip up and make a sloppy kill.

[void prism]

I'm not saying Neutrals should be easy. What I'm saying is that it isn't necessarily common to get a Neutral role; I'm personally excited when I do. The Hitman can almost always get their kill off round 1-2, which just means I have no chance of winning, not because someone determined my role, not because I was not playing poorly, but because the game assigned me as a target to be killed by a duck. It just feels a lot less fair because it takes very little skill to shut down someone who is on their own team when the target is a Neutral. Neutrals are the worst role to die as, so dying early to Hitman just makes for a crappy experience IMO.

[green pebble]

You know I just went through a round with the new Hitman and Bodyguard roles and I didn't expect that the Falcon can be their Target. It came as a big surprise, but luckily for the Falcon, they killed the Hitman and the Bodyguard thought they were Sherif or Vigilante. I'm not saying it's anything wrong with that, just it came as a surprise since that was the first time I've experienced when a Neutral role became the Hitman and Bodyguard's target

[polar mural]

Birdwatcher is a lot of fun, but it's kinda frustrating when the lights go out and negate your ability. What if the birdwatcher could see in the cark while using their ability?

[woeful garnet]

its still something that instantly screws the dodo right from the get go and i dont feel that its fair to who ever gets that role. for that reason i will likely keep the bodyguard off

[timber obsidian]

sounds fair to me

[sick verge]

I will say, I have won a game as a targeted dodo, makes it a challenge sure, but was still a fun challenge

[crimson notch]

You're totally free to play how you want! One of the great things about GGD is how flexible it is to player preferences.

I think if I were a Dodo and suspected I had a Bodyguard following me around, I would try to act like a Pigeon, never stopping to do tasks and making sure to run up on other birds and then run away. But that's just one possibility. Maybe you DO have a Bodyguard following you, the Hitman tries to kill you and your Bodyguard dies instead. The body is reported and the Hitman Duck is probably not going to admit to it. You could feign a weak defense and still get voted out for the win. Also also, assuming a full lobby with three Ducks, the Dodo would only have a 1/12 chance to be the VIP (since one Bodyguard Goose would be required), so that whole situation should be relatively infrequent anyway.

[narrow stag]

One of things I dislike about a role where you are paired with someone like lover and bodyguard/Target is you have no idea who your lover or target is until you either come across them or a meeting gets called. Part of me just wants to ring a bell every time at beginning just so I can see. I don’t know if it’s been suggested before, but especially for lovers, perhaps have them be identified on the load in screen where it tells you your role, like it does with ducks and it shows you the other ducks (+mimic) if enabled.

[latent arrow]

I can put this in

Although a number of people do enjoy figuring out who your lover is during the game.

Before I just put this in let me talk to the team. We're all in unison that it affects zero of the gameplay; you can't find them faster.

There is a sense of joy and surprise of finding them in the game versus the meeting.

[dry wind]

There is no greater feeling, than realizing you're a lover, and then spawning with your lover.

[crimson notch]

I don't remember for sure about Hitman, but on the initial role screen for bodyguard it tells you who to protect

[narrow stag]

Yes but sometimes as a duck, your partner is killed before u can even say boo lol.

[narrow stag]

I’ve never had bodyguard. Just hitman. So that’s why I didn’t know

[narrow stag]

Perhaps make it an option toggle? Similar to blind ducks?

[obtuse meteor]

i prefer to not know.. cause its an elimination and when i realize who it is it can be a relief or panic

[narrow stag]

I don't think its an elimination, its looking for a pink name, and then you find out anyway at first meeting. I just think knowing at the start could be beneficial. And I'm sure like Blind Ducks, this option could be turned on or off. (Blind Lovers?)

[obtuse meteor]

As in eliminating possibilities that its your lover.. then I find out its my nemesis and run away screaming

[sick verge]

We don't want to fill the new UI with a bunch of toggles. Custom settings can't be the answer to everything.
Blind Ducks changes a lot in terms of game play, adds a bunch more deduction.
Knowing who is your lover at the very beginning changes nothing in terms of gameplay

[narrow stag]

Was simply offering a solution to both sides. Obviously I leave it in the hands of the awesome developers 🙂 Just some feedback and suggestions and possible solutions 🙂

[final mulch]

I like the surprise of discovering lover while in-game.

[obtuse meteor]

The only toggle I want tbh is an option to make skip votes not count, but then again it might not be a popular option

[narrow stag]

Like when people forget to vote? I like that GGD developers made this an automatic skip. One thing I hated about another Social Deception game was then they just wouldn't vote and someone could get sniped distracting people from voting and someone gets sniped out.

[obtuse meteor]

no.. so that when its toggled you can only live in a meeting if its a tie

right now you can tie with skips, or skips beat the vote count

the toggle would null the skip counts, so say 13 people skip, 2 vote for 1, 1 votes for 1... the person with 2 votes dies

its how HOA's work lol.. You don't send in a no and they will do it regardless

[narrow stag]

This again could lead to sniping. People troll voting and someone getting voted out Simply cause a vote was cast on them. But again, just my feedback 🙂

[empty basalt]

The reason it would never work is this: 15 players vote skip, spy duck votes 1 person, that person gets voted out. You could intentially force people out. I wouldn't say cause HOAs use it it makes it a good idea.
It also takes away the choice to not kill anyone since they don't count. a skip isnt a non-vote its a "i dont want to kill anyone this round as the evidence is inconclusive"

[obtuse meteor]

Huh.. it works... thats just one possibility

Hence it being a toggle

It makes voting yourself being the skip for that purpose

You can already do this in current gameplay to not out your role if a spy is possible

I didn't say HOA's were a good idea tho.. put words where I didn't

[obtuse meteor]

sniping is just a bad excuse for any option or role.. as it shoudn't happen ever

[uneven bone]

my feedback

this game is great

ive been cosplaying as perry for months now

never get tired of it

[ocean vector]

If I have a role that gives me the ability to kill, why is it when I am getting chased and spamming my kill button, if the other person catches up to me, that I die? I have never come out on top in a situation where I am being chased to be killed.

[crimson notch]

Usually if both are spamming kill buttons it comes down to who has the lowest latency to the host

[grizzled pumice]

Can you put an option to speed up the vote reveal? It feels like we are waiting for a long time to get the results (at least with my friends and me)

[zinc mountain]

I can ask the team, but no guarantees. To be honest we haven't had any requests for this yet

[grizzled pumice]

No problem, we are coming from among us and the difference feels very very odd. Not a deal breaker though the experience overall is wonderful.

[heavy jay]

Would it be possible to up number of assassin guesses or make it customizable?

[timber obsidian]

It is possible, and it is one of the more hotly debated things we've discussed internally

[narrow stag]

My feedback on this is 2 is the sweet spot. Otherwise it could become too OP. It gives caution just handing out ur role at the beginning if there is a potential of an assassin. It also makes shooting right away a strategy thing. You could save ur shot as as assassin for later in game to take out a goose or neutral to win if u play ur cards right. Overall I think it’s tuned pretty well 🙂

[timber obsidian]

i think so too

i think people are comparing it to the assassin in town of us and other among us mods (and that's understandable)

but it's not meant to be something that can wipe out another team

[cyan iris]

I tried to see if anyone has ever asked this before, but would you/have you guys consider allowing ghosts to access cams?

[ocean vector]

I believe the UI for crafting is confusing, for new and novice players, they may not realize what the craftables are and not understand which ones are killing animations and which ones are cosmetics.

[zinc mountain]

Thank you for the feedback! We will take this into consideration

[ivory herald]

I find it very confusing myself, takes me at least twice as long to find what I'm looking for as the previous way it worked. But then again, I'm old

[timber obsidian]

i think it might also contribute to the confusion that you had played with the previous crafting system

and new players will never see it

[latent arrow]

There will be no more than a few items in there at any time.

[void prism]

Yeah I want to say 2 assassin kills is the sweet spot. Most games I get two shots off and could get more off if I had more shots. Really good players could get a ton of shots off if allowed, even though inexperienced players often shoot themselves.

[void prism]

I agree, even though it seems strange to veteran players, I think the new UI actually does make more sense as it sorts things into clear categories. My main complaint is that the option for changing your color is so small that it is easy to miss.

[uneven bone]

Also when you leave the gui to cosmetics you need to press the arrow the leave or it won't confirm your changes

I found that pretty annoying

[ivory herald]

The arrow replaces the apply button

[uneven bone]

Yeah but that's the thing, apply is clearer

[ivory herald]

Useful if you want to cancel just close the screen without clicking back

[uneven bone]

True but still

The color thing being small is also weird but eh it's ok

[ivory herald]

It took me a few moments to even work out the paintbrush was how you changed colour when the changes first dropped. We'll get used to them. Direct any complaints to @dry wind

[random bloom]

good

[narrow stag]

I agree. Having an apply button was clearer. I still find myself looking for it lol

[dry wind]

There is some talks about making the escape button also apply changes, do you think that would help?

[narrow stag]

Not really. I think sometimes I wanna just preview some things and not actually change.

[latent arrow]

When we had an apply button we were getting more complaints. People don't click it.

[dry wind]

I think maybe changing to < button to a ✅ might help people understand.

[rough gorge]

I would just like to voice my concern for the fork in the clean dishes task in the kitchen. I take my cutlery extremely seriously and the fact that this fork has not 3, not 4, but FIVE prongs is preposterous. I imagine the person who thought this was a good idea is also the type of person to cut with their knife upside down and with their fork in their right hand while cutting their food, or perhaps they even just use a spoon for everything!

I am concerned to say the least.

Yours sincerely, Winkzie

[timber obsidian]

have you ever ate a steak that was too big

that you thought, if only my fork was wider and had more prongs

[rough gorge]

No what kind of monster would do such a thing!?

[uneven bone]

Tbh like

No

No one has thought that ever

[rough gorge]

^ Thank you

[uneven bone]

More prongs is trouble

[timber obsidian]

due to popular demand we will increase to six prongs

[uneven bone]

It's asking for it anyhow

[rough gorge]

sometimes... more is less

[uneven bone]

God damn

If that actually happens

[rough gorge]

what kind of monsters are you people!?

😂

[uneven bone]

He'll make the classifying knife task has 2 blades per knife

[regal ridge]

it's herbert so...

he will

[uneven bone]

Oof

Chris help

[sick verge]

one of the artists is crying... look what you've done

[uneven bone]

Make herbert go to reason

[rough gorge]

someone had to bring this 5 pronged fork to the attention of the duckscord okay

and nobody else was going to do it

[uneven bone]

What is gaggle crew role btw?

[regal ridge]

it means they're awesome

[rough gorge]

it means we make strange noises

[uneven bone]

Ah

[uneven bone]

Like qwack?

[regal ridge]

might be a screee

[sick verge]

Gaggle Studios is the name of the Studio that developed Goose Goose Duck. Gaggle Role means they're on the team

[uneven bone]

Ah

Ik the studio but nice

[rough gorge]

I apologise for what happened to the feedback channel I was just concerned ok sorry

[uneven bone]

What do you do winkzie?

[sick verge]

if only there was an artist on the team... that could offer a replacement...

[uneven bone]

Hehe

I don't get it hehe

[crimson notch]

I'm very happy that somebody thinks this!

[uneven bone]

Lemme get duck role to not feel out of place 1 sec

[rough gorge]

yeah where's ben and taylor at

[uneven bone]

Yes

Color original

[rough gorge]

art team 😂

[uneven bone]

Nah still weird color

[hollow nebula]

I've noticed a few times that if your holding the blue knob on the on communication task (sorry I don't remember the map name I've played only Mallard Manor for most all my games) and a meeting is called, then the knob will be following your mouse until you click the red one when you come back to it

[uneven bone]

Did you do kill animations

[hollow nebula]

The little things

[rough gorge]

nope !

[uneven bone]

Perhaps we should take this to #💬︱general and let this be actual #📄︱feedback

[regal ridge]

tbh that happens on almost every task kat

[sick verge]

This is turning into a general chat, not so much feedback

Perry is on top of it

[hollow nebula]

Would this be feedback or a bug for the other channel

[sick verge]

here is good thanks

[chrome rampart]

I’m curious how full/mild controller support is coming along and what engine y’all are using if you don’t mind me asking

[timber obsidian]

unity

[chrome rampart]

Dope ok

[timber obsidian]

we arent working on any controller support right now really, but you can hook up a controller through steam and it works

we're focused on getting mobile out currently

[chrome rampart]

That’s valid

[floral cypress]

Has anybody been disconnecting more than they usually do since the update?

[uneven bone]

i havent tried yet, ill tell you when I try it out

[regal ridge]

hitting entter no longer lets you join the room after you put in the code

[hollow nebula]

Newest version?

[regal ridge]

yes

[ivory herald]

It never did, at least not for me. Always had to manually press join

[neat thorn]

There should be a way to change the room language after creating it

Why are there so many English rooms with people speaking Vietnamese?

[zinc mountain]

Lol we can’t control that

[latent arrow]

They are selecting their language unfortunately, we can't detect what language they are speaking and change it.

[regal ridge]

you're kinda screwed when kill the falcon pops up but you have no kill button

[viral coyote]

You can finish tasks/hope everyone finishing tasks

[ionic musk]

apparently bodyguard can have falcon as his target to defend?

defending a killer is kinda wrong?

but ok i guess.

[finite bobcat]

Yeah, all neutrals can be a target

Cause otherwise you just confirm a player as for sure good

[ionic musk]

well he cant guard red

[finite bobcat]

Yeah, ducks can't be guarded, but that's because the flipside is a hitman duck-

[timber obsidian]

its his profession

and the falcon doesnt have to kill

thats your prejudice talking

[ionic musk]

aright, i got your point, ty 🙂

[obsidian jacinth]

Why must the falcon skip? Balance reasons..?

[timber obsidian]

it is a balance decision

strange things start happening when the uninformed majority of geese start to lose their numbers

[silk tapir]

getting resources to craft items takes too long

[main blade]

i feel like the drop rate for materials is too low.
ive played a lot of mallard manor and still at 0 for the rare material.
It takes way too much to craft something esp with bad rng.
Maybe add daily quests?

[silk tapir]

ive gotten 1 stocks out of like 13 hours of play time

[main blade]

ive been told to just run hide and seek to farm em

thats about it

300 hours played. i was able to craft the pajamas so far

[silk tapir]

my goal was to get the eyes but at the rate im at its kinda just became unfun to farm for them since there limited

[latent arrow]

We always make sure there is multiple ways to obtain a craftable cosmetic

[silk tapir]

the only issue is that the only other way to get it rn is either craft or spend 150

which if you go for achievements then you cant get enough currency

[latent arrow]

No achievements require you to spend materials?

[silk tapir]

no i meant if you farm out the achievements to get currency you wouldnt have enough for alot of items

[latent arrow]

I don't think I follow?

[silk tapir]

like if i were to complete every achievement i wouldnt have enough gold coins to purchase certain cosmetics

[latent arrow]

Thats 100% not true

[silk tapir]

how so?

[latent arrow]

Like which one?

[silk tapir]

like for example the secret achievements mainly only give 1 coin and theres about 40 achievements or so

i havent reached some of the higher milestones give more if not then im not sure

[latent arrow]

Oh anything that costs more than 25 gold or so you wont be able to earn without supporting the game.

[silk tapir]

yeah thats what i was saying not really great with words

[latent arrow]

None of our game content is locked behind a paywall.

It's entirely free to play.

We understand not everyone wants to or can't support us but we wanted to make sure those who do can look a lot "cooler" while they play 🙂

[silk tapir]

ah yeah i mean its cool i wasnt what the approach was for that since it seemed earnable till i did the math

all cool though i just wasnt sure if it was meant to be earnable

[latent arrow]

Anything that is craft-able and silver can easily be earned with time.

[silk tapir]

ah yeah i appreciate that for clearing it up

[sudden gale]

Small request but maybe add some hats for silver coins? Not counting those 2 that are unlockable + 500 silver coins. Pets remaining as golden coins only + crafting seems good enough, but hats though. Just an opinion ofc.

[dry wind]

If the game wasn't free to play, I'd say it would be a fairly resonable request. None of the gameplay is locked behind any pay walls, so the only way the devs make any money is on people wanting the hats. When mobile is released, there may be more opportunities to earn gold.

[hollow nebula]

Just a small worry that's been bothering me but
Isn't the thing that basically killed among us was the fact that mobile players wouldn't play the same and it would ruin the game for other people that wanted to actually play the game?
Is there a plan to avoid that or help with that issue?
Sorry if this has already been talked about somewhere else but I probably missed it

[dry wind]

The mobile version has not sacrificed ANY quality, features, or gameplay. Voice chat still works, and sounds great, all your cosmetics carry between versions. The only real difference is your input. I've played with people in live games that were blown away when they found out I was on mobile, as they would have had no clue otherwise.
