Kill prevention, resurrections, living and dead interacting with each other, visually confirming roles (e.g. walks at 1.5x speed) are common suggestions that also are not great for social deduction

[manic zephyr]

@sudden brook

Info

"The role you suggested is quite similar to one from modded Among Us!"

It's possible that this inspired you, or perhaps you coincidentally developed a similar role. In terms of the general design direction, we're trying to build a different game and we aren't really looking to replicate the roles found in modded Among Us or other social deductions! But thank you for taking the time to make a submission, we love this type of community engagement.

[sudden brook]

I got this one last role idea hopefully it doesn't disappoint you. How about a gambler role you can bet on someone during meetings if they are a duck and if correct you can get a bonus ability if wrong you lose voting power. Geese role. Now that's great for social deduction.

[steep moth]

Never disappointed, just trying to dig into the creative part of you and make you really think about it

[sudden brook]

Yeah I'm trying to think of a great role to suggest

[steep moth]

don't be afraid to spitball, maybe others will join in and build upon them

ideas can spark ideas

[sudden brook]

Role: instigator
Faction: Neutral
Win Condition: accuse two players to win.

[tranquil wagon]

DUCK HUNTER

NEUTRAL

You need to complete a list of tasks to be able to kill. Upon completing the tasks, the ducks will be notified of your arrival, and every 20 seconds your location will be revealed to them (only the location). Your goal is to kill all the ducks, and if you succeed, you win the game. If there is only one Duck left alive, it will know who you are. The duck hunter does not win the game if the last duck is expelled.

The Duck Hunter can only kill ducks, and can hide, just like the Engineer (when hidden, the cooldown stops).

[tame rose]

Why isn't my message going through?

Role: Chimera. Class: Neutral. Ability — Extract DNA. Takes 10s to use. DNA is collected after 3s. Victim gets a small neck mark visible in-game and meetings. Victim becomes slower. Screen darkens slightly with the message: “You may have lost blood.” DNA Effects: You can transfer stolen DNA to another player. The two players swap skins for everyone else. Both lose microphone access for 13s. If the DNA owner dies, the DNA is lost. Blood Loss: 1st extraction: slower movement. 2nd extraction: reduced vision. 3rd extraction: death by blood loss. Final Form — Chimera + 2 Players Left. Gains speed boost.Skin becomes deformed. Becomes immortal for 40s. Can kill instantly without extracting blood. Cooldown: 0s

The Gaggle Team will deliberate over the suggestion, but likely chances are it does not align with our Designing Roles for Classic/Draft Living Document.

Feel free to give it a read, if you want some insight into the roles that would be more likely to approve of. This doesn't mean that your suggestion can't be inspiring and built upon, with this document in mind, keep at it! We love to see your ideas and concepts.

The reason I sent it several times is because it wasn't showing up for me.

[true linden]

• Psychic Goose
  You can gaze two players and in the next round you will know if theres any animosity between them. Animosity lasts one round and applies if at least one of them voted for anyone in the same faction as the other

[gusty steeple]

Role: Swapper

[lilac wren]

Role: Chatterbox
Team: Goose
Ability: This role only appears in mic room. Everyone can hear the Chatterbox's voice, anywhere and everywhere at any time.

Role: Impersonator
Team: Duck
Ability: If the Impersonator is the only player who voted another player, the Impersonator gets classified as the role of the player they voted until the next voting phase. For example, if they get classified as a goose, they'll still have their kill ability, however, will be called "Not a duck" if voted out, if the sheriff kills them, the sheriff will also die, and if they get killed during the round and the Mortician investigate their corpse, they'll be shown as whatever role they impersonated as.

[vivid folio]

Ruler

Duck

**Force geese to kill each other.

1. You can choose a goose in the match.

2. 10 seconds after the goose is chosen, it will receive a target that it must kill within 12 seconds.

3. During the hunt, the goose will gain the kill ability (or its ability will be replaced by a kill ability if it is neutral), as well as an arrow that always points to the target.

4. If he manages to eliminate the target before time runs out, he will remain alive, but if he fails, he will die instantly.

5. If a meeting starts during this time, the time will reset after the meeting ends.

6. The target can be any player, even your duck partner.

7. You can't kill normally, only by using your ability.**

[subtle cosmos]

prosecutor

duck role

you get abilities by voting out people

one for each time

first person is sabotage

second is kill button

third is extra voting power

fourth is duck victory or something like that
idk if this is too op

[coarse copper]

Copywriter (duck)

For each completed fake task, you get the opportunity to write a word that will be protected by copyright. If another player writes it word in a meeting, he will die.

How it works:

Words are entered into a special private chat during the round. A player killed by this word will not display it in chat, making it secret.

[lilac wren]

Role: Psychologist
Team: Goose
Ability: Like the Assassin, the Psychologist can select a player during the voting time and guess their role. The Psychologist can determine if the role they guessed matches that player. This skill can be used a total of n times per game.
Usage: If a player claims that they are a Birdwatcher, Psychologist can guess Birdwatcher for that player to see if they're actually a birdwatcher. If not, there is a high chance that they're not a goose. But always be aware of Dodos!

Role: Nocturnal Goose
Team: Goose
Passive: The Nocturnal Goose has a smaller vision range than other geese during normal time. However during the vision sabotages such as Summon Darkness, Light Off, Smog, etc, their vision range increases largely.

[peak ruin]

Role: Portal
Team: Duck
Ability: The Portal Duck places a portal that can return to during the game.
This portal is only visible to Ducks, and the Portal Duck can return to it once.

Role: Dipper
Team: Duck
Ability: The Dipper can change the color of its own victims or the victims of other Ducks. It can paint bodies 1 time with 10 players, 2 times with 13 players, and 3 times with 16 players. It can collect a Goose’s color during the game using a needle. (Like Morphling)

Role: Hypnotic
Team: Duck
Ability: You can mark Geese twice per game. Marked Geese cannot attend meetings and will automatically vote “Skip.”

[neon sail]

ai chơi k

[tame rose]

that's a good idea, but its too op

[radiant dove]

Role: Illusionist
Team: Duck

Ability (doesn't affect ducks): If the illusionist is the only one to vote for a player, the next round the player becomes invisible to the geese, and they can't hear that player. Neutrals and ducks see a special mark next to that player's nickname.

Possible additions to the ability (I've put it separately so they won't be added if it's too overpowered): the marked player also can't kill. The player's corpse becomes invisible (like a professional corpse).

[radiant dove]

Role: Magician
Team: Goose

Ability: Can mark another player if close enough. The marked player loses sight of the magician after 10 seconds (but can still hear magician) for the next minute.

Role: Broadcaster
Team: Goose

Ability: Can be used with one player standing nearby. After this, that player will be able to hear the broadcaster from any distance until the next vote, but this only works in one way.

[south plinth]

Role:Specialist
Faction:Duck
Ability:
Advanced Programming:
After goose finishes all kinds of tasks that enable stuffs (for example: doors, security cameras and intercomm)they can use this ability on the sabotage panel and click on the icon, making the goose unable to use it for a while, if the specialist can consecutively program the stuff for 3 times, the stuff that is enabled will break down, making the goose need to do the tasks again to reactivate it.

Notice:
Specialist can still kill, but they can't sabotage because it uses the sabotage panel, they also can't do tasks that enables sabotage.

[true linden]

• Defigens Duck
  You can bind a player with an invisible egg cursing them. Cursed players cannot see nor report bodies but they can see binded eggs until theirs is destroyed, lifting the curse.

[sharp fern]

Role: Thor
Faction: duck
Ability: Gets a hammer and can kill with it

[coarse copper]

Predator (Duck)
Short description: You can become invisible to kill and can use homing plasma cannon.

How it works:
When you click on kill button, you automatically become invisible, and when you come into contact with a player, you immediately leave the invisibility and kill them.
Your ability is plasma shot: you shoot a visible charge that travels some distance, killing players on hit.
Additional info:
Cannot kill normally, can see colors and walk slower when invisible.

[south plinth]

Role:Contributor

1st idea:

Faction:Goose

Ability:
Contribute:
Choose a player to contribute, everytime a contributed players used an ability you will get noticed by making your screen blue for a second.

2nd idea:

Faction:Duck

Ability:
Contribute:
Same as goose, go read it. Only exception is can't use on fellow ducks except if there is mimic.

Notice for both ideas:
If your target dies, your cooldown will reset(doesn't include getting swallowed by Pelican) . Contribute will also work in meeting making the screen blue for a second while voting

Notice for idea 2:
You can still kill

[south plinth]

Role:Collaborator

Faction:Duck

Ability:
Collaborate:
Collaborate with a fellow duck to give the duck an extra kill button, if the fellow duck has an ability button to use (for example:Looter, witch doctor and morphling) , they won't be given if tried, but for ducks that have but the ability doesn't have an exact button or replaces the kill button ( for example: sniper, professional, ninja and assassin) they will have an extra kill button after a meeting is called.

Notice:
Collaborator can't kill, but they can sabotage .They can use their ability on mimic but mimic won't get kill button. Collaborator can't collaborate with lost duckling

[coarse copper]

Laser (Duck)
Short Description: You can incinerate players.

How it works: When activating a special ability, you will be able to select the angle at which the laser beam will be launched. When the ability is confirmed, a visible shine path will appear and a laser will pass along this path a second later. The laser is unlimited in distance (virtually across the entire map) and will incinerate all players standing in the way.
Additional info: Can kill normally but with increased cooldown, friendly fier, body destroyed by ability cannot be reported.

[inland elm]

Hunter (duck)

Can put 1 traps per round on the map that can kill the first player that step on it (even himself or a duck)

Hacker (duck)

Can touch any player, that player can no longer complete any task during this round

[muted glade]

Make it so that the ducks have a visible dot on the map to show where the trap is placed

So they won't accidentally step on it

[peak ruin]

Role: Camo
Team: Goose
Ability: The Camo goes into camouflage for 15 seconds; whilst camouflaged, only other geese can see it, and it has one kill per game.

[lethal leaf]

This role is a vigi, but you can confirm yourself as goose

I hate things that "only the good ones know", other players cant counterplay something like it. (We already have celebrity for it and its a problem just existing)

@peak ruin read the pinned guide, it could help!

[sweet grail]

The Carrion ☠️ Alignment: Neutral Killing
Goal: Feed on the aftermath and eliminate the players.
Ability — “Feast”
The Carrion cannot kill at the start.
Every dead player leaves behind a hidden Essence only the Carrion can see.Collecting 2 Essence grants 1 kill charge.Essence stays even if the body is reported.Passive Effect:Each Essence collected:every people's color turns gray and we lose our outfit for 20 seconds
reduces vision slightly:The Carrion becomes faster but more “blind” to the map as it grows stronger.
Win Condition:Be the last player alive, ORCollect 6 Essence total.This fits cleanly into the deception ecosystem of Goose Goose Duck while keeping the same mechanic people like, just with a darker, more unique identity.

[coarse copper]

Seagull (Neutral)
You win if enough meetings are called. You can stealing players to get an extra vote. You always skip voting.

How it works: When using an ability, it will temporarily block another player's abilities a few seconds after activation.
Additional info: can vents, must stay alive to win, MAYBE can track bodies.

[true linden]

• Mutualists (Carrier/Parasite) Rework
  One will be carried inside by the other and switch places every round. Both are lifelinked and can always communicate but one must skip and the other vote a player. The one inside can be implanted into another player to kill and shapeshift as them.

Why?
Currently Carrier n Parasite count as 1 duck but give 2 votes to their faction which seems unfair to me, this rework removes that and makes it so both switch places every round so both players can be parasite and carrier however the parasite morph ability might need to be adjusted to balance the change

[vivid folio]

Stork

Neutral

**Deliver 4 or 3 eggs to win

1. In each round, you can only choose one player to carry an egg till the meeting.

2. The player who receives the egg will not receive any notification that they received it.

3. If the player with the egg survives until the next meeting, they will die during the voting, having their own death art to differentiate them from an assassin/raven.

4. If the player with the egg dies before the meeting, it will not be counted.

5. If the stork dies before the meeting, the player with the egg will not die.

6. The stork will not keep the game going if there are more ducks than geese and neutrals.

7. Successfully deliver 4 or 3 eggs (depending on the number of players) to the other players to win the game.**

[true linden]

The killing outs its existence and could put the Stork in a situation where they can't win because of it. Your idea is nice tho, forces the geese to not waste too many meetings as they could give a free Stork win.

[south plinth]

Role:Honest Goose

Faction:Goose

Ability:
Being Framed:
After being voted out, the honest goose won't die but their role will be revealed to everyone. They can only skip after being revealed.

Notice:
They can still talk and be killed after revealing, the honest goose will also activate this when he is going to go to jail. When honest goose is in the match, the gravy and politician can't be in the match too

[vivid folio]

Courier Goose

Geese

**Send messages to other players

1. You can interact with other players

2. After interacting, you can write a message to them at any time

3. After writing and confirming, the player you interacted with will have a note in the chat that will appear in all meetings

4. You can write anything, whether it's something you saw in the match, a suspicion, or just jokes lol

5. Each player can have at least 3 messages, with the oldest being replaced by the most recent after reaching the maximum limit

6. If you die, all players will lose their messages

( I created this class for you guys to add to the game, so I can humiliate my friends. )**

[steep moth]

@vivid folio appreciate you posting ideas but... can you please edit them to remove the doublespacing and all bold to make them nicer to read?
Standard format is a good format for readability

[iron falcon]

Thief
Neutral
Steal a role from another player at the start of the game (either neutral or duck) You dont know from which player youre stealing the role. The other player gets another random goose role

[agile tree]

Role name: Turkey 🦃
Faction: Neutral
Line: “The later you live, the tastier you get.” 🍗
Difficulty: ★★☆

• Turkey can only be in the game if neither the Pelican nor the Dodo Bird are.

Goal: Turkey needs to survive until half of the players are dead and will win if it gets killed (not voted out).

• Once half of the players are dead, an arrow will appear to the Turkey pointing to the nearest Duck.

[fresh palm]

Since new roles are being added to the game, I would like to improve the old ones a little, because some of them don't look very playable right now.
My suggestion concerns the role of a Preacher.
I would like to add a new mechanic for controlling additional voices.
How it works:
if the Preacher has given the player additional votes;
and during the voting, the Preacher votes before this player,
then the additional votes automatically go to the same goal that the Preacher chose.;
if the player voted before the Preacher, he retains control over his votes, and the Preacher loses the opportunity to direct them.
As for me, it will make the role more active and interesting.

[floral thorn]

this would be fire tho

[coarse copper]

Carrier/Parasite buff:
Carrier and Parasite can communicate by using a private chat during round (for better coordinated work in lobby with disabled micro).
Lucid Dreamer buff:
Can use chat while exploring the map (for better interactions).

[true linden]

Adding to this, also let the lucid dreamer move while they're looking at the map

[true linden]

Too overpowered to let the preacher steal the additional votes if they vote first

[marble spoke]

How about we have a role that can gain a kill by seeing 2 or 3 bodys (saying 2 because most people don’t come around body’s very often) But this goose would be named the “Paranoid goose” Much like Mortician or Vulture if this goose sees a carcass/body they can interact with it to gain paranoia and it once they have two (Or three) paranoia they will gain the ability to kill like the Avenger, Soldier, or dueling dodo’s

[south plinth]

Role:Dasher

Idea1:
Faction: Goose

Ability:
Dash:
dash through thin walls

Idea2:
Faction: Duck

Ability:
Dash:
dash through thin walls

Notice for idea2:
you can still kill

Role:Night Visioner

Faction:Goose

Ability:

Passive ability:
See through forbidden passageways

[floral thorn]

Role: builder

faction: duck

ability: it can place a wall that will disappear after 25 seconds, you can only place one wall at a time and theres a 15 second cooldown.

the 15 second cooldown appears after the first wall dissappears so you dont continuosly place a wall and block off a place completely

[hallow sundial]

Role: Ripper

[vivid folio]

Magpie

Neutral

Build and protect your nest.

1. There will be 4 items scattered around the map, items that only you can see.
2. After picking up the first item (you can only carry one at a time), you can place it anywhere to build your nest.
3. After placing the first item, the other items can only be placed where the first one is.
4. While building the nest, only you will be able to see the nest being built.
5. After taking all the items to the nest, it will become visible to all players and a 45-second countdown will begin.
6. During this countdown, the Magpie will have a kill with a 5-second cooldown and must protect the nest.
7. Other players can go to the nest and break it.
8. While they are breaking it, a task to break the nest (similar to the cuckoo task) will begin, which they must complete to break it.
9. If the nest is broken, the Magpie will die.
10. If the nest remains intact until the countdown ends, the Magpie wins.

[frosty nacelle]

Terminal patient (goose)
Gain a bomb after the 4th meeting.
-The appearance of terminal patient after meetings creates confusion, giving Geese alibis, Ducks opportunities to remove marked targets, and Neutrals more chances to act.

Barnacle goose (goose)
If a goose is voted out during a meeting, inherit their role.
-Barnacle Goose turns meeting deaths into new opportunities by inheriting fallen Goose roles, creating more strategy for Geese and more deception opportunities for Ducks and Neutrals alike.

Lieutenant (goose)
Start the game knowing the sheriff's identity.
-Sheriff is a game-changing role, yet Geese often cannot confirm their identity after death or impersonation. This role strengthens Sheriff simply by knowing who they are.

Hacker (duck)
Reduce sabotage cooldown by 10 seconds. Once per game, remotely unlock one sabotage objective.
-Goose Goose Duck is a deduction game, but Ducks are often caught simply for being seen at sabotage unlock locations. While this is a natural counterplay for Geese, overreliance on it can limit Duck gameplay and prolong matches. A role that can remotely unlock sabotages could create more strategic variety, encourage active participation from Geese, and give Neutral roles better opportunities to act.
(Translation)

[lethal leaf]

Prophet goose
If you are the only player to vote someone, that player dies next round and gets its body reported by someone, you know... (options)

1. who killed it; (but it can be a goose)
2. what role killed it; (more safe roles and information)

For me, I enjoy GGD the most with information roles (RIP old Spy), and both sides can utilize them in their favor. You may or may not be a goose, because everyone can pretend to be one and spread misinformation—which isn't something you can easily confirm, unlike Lucid Dreamer (yes, Raven exists, but not for ducks). If it's bad, it's possible to just remove the part where you are the only player to vote. Or, have two roles: one with the vote requirement and who killed them, and the other without it, but knowing the role of the killer.

[hallow sundial]

The Illusionist:
Role:
The Illusionist has no direct win condition tied to Geese or Ducks. Instead, they win if they survive until the end of the match, regardless of which faction wins.

Special Ability:
Mirror Identity: once per round, the Illusionist can select another player and “copy” their visible role.

This means that in role checks or investigations, the Illusionist appears as the chosen player, creating confusion and distrust.

Mechanics:
Win Condition: survive until the end of the game.

Lose Condition: if eliminated before the match ends.

Limitations: cannot kill directly, but can sabotage minor tasks (e.g., delaying missions or triggering false alerts).

[pearl merlin]

Name of the role: Ostrich (Neutral )

1. Ostrich can speeding up, but it's too noticeable to everyone else.
2. He wins as last survivor. He's goal is lay eggs (like a cuckoo), but the eggs of an ostrich are very huge. Therefore, he has another ability - he can stick his head in any place underground. So he can be invulnerable to dangers (including ducks and cars that can knock down the player). That's where he lays his eggs. As soon as he lays enough eggs, he gets a boost in speed (see point 1.) and he can kill players. Players must find these pits. They are usually invisible, but if the "Use" button is lit, it means that there is a pit in front of you. If a hole is found, it must be dug out, get the egg and break it.
3. The ostrich is incompatible with the cuckoo, so if you want to enable this role, disable the cuckoo first.

And what is it? A guide to adding roles?

[rough garden]

Name of the role : Necromancer (Goose), Have the ability to choose a dead player and see what they write in the chat during the party, can only be used during two meetings.

[low cave]

Role Ideas
Dr. Freazeduck and Solvent Goose

Dr. Freazeduck: When you activate the Freeze ability, the player freezes after 10 seconds and cannot move. They must be rescued by Solvent Goose. If they go to vote before being rescued, there is a 50% chance they will freeze to death.

Solvent Goose: You can thaw people frozen by Dr. Freazeduck.

[past hinge]

hi

[steep moth]

@vapid vessel please dont post the same post in multiple channels. Please check out #📌︱idea-channels-guidelines

[vapid vessel]

sorry, i was confused which one should i post my ideas

[steep moth]

Depends on the idea. Role ideas can go here, map ideas #🗺︱map-ideas, gamemode ideas #🎮︱gamemode-ideas etc. Not multiple.

Two short sentences is great! #📌︱idea-channels-guidelines

[weary wraith]

Recruiter (Duck)

If one of your ducks has died or voted out you can transform anyone to your duck team if you stay with him long enough

[plain violet]

To op dude

[weary wraith]

so easy to balance if you have to stay with someone very long time (for example 20 sec). Also recruiter and recruited duck lives can be linked just like parasite and carrier.

[outer quiver]

Silencer buff: the silence effect also disables proximity chat the meeting after the player is silenced so the silencer is better to use in proximity chat games

[molten sun]

role:chicken(neutral )

Ability:

Crowing

Using Crowing causes the Chicken to let out a loud cry, making all players unable to hear any sounds for 5 seconds. The location where the Chicken used Crowing is revealed to everyone on the map (similar to a sensor ). The Chicken also gains increased movement speed for 3 seconds and gains 1 Rage Stack.
Cooldown: 20 sec

Rage Stack

Depending on the number of players at the start of the match, the Chicken can gain between 3 to 9 Rage Stacks. When the Rage meter reaches its maximum, Chicken Time begins.

Chicken Time

A 60-second countdown begins, and the Chicken must kill everyone before the timer ends. During Chicken Time, the Chicken transforms into its true chicken form, gains greatly increased movement speed, and receives a kill ability with a 5-second cooldown.

[old solar]

Do you think it's overpowered if Mime could track a selected target with a red dot on the map? (like Clown)

[vast chasm]

landmine

[winged elk]

Birdwatcher (goose) :
Active skill: Listening
Skill cooldown: 15（first）/25（then） seconds, lasting for 10 seconds (can be turned off earlier)
The Bird Talker can activate the skill to listen to special sounds and receive arrow direction hints (lasting for 3 seconds), but they will enter the star Realm perspective themselves
(Common skills: Yellow, killing type (including bombs, Pelican Devouring) : red)

[mint gale]

@trail loom - Gaggle when is the next scheduled stream group?
[3:42 PM]
The Security Guard Goose - Once per game can place a tracker on a living player, That player's location will show up on their minimap. If the player is dies the tracker will vanish. (we could also make it if the player's body is consumed the tracker now belongs to the cannibal)
The Doctor - Can scan a player once per game, that players name text will change color according to their faction (currently, white for goose, red for duck, and yellow for DoDo)
[3:49 PM]
New Bird: The Vulture - Win Condition: Eat 50% rounded up of the player count, gains 2 silver for each body eaten - tasks don't count toward win condition

[eternal cairn]

i think you slightly messed up that message

[mint gale]

I just copied it

[eternal cairn]

maybe remove the parts like the time and the top part

[mint gale]

The Pacifist - Can not see dead bodies , can silence a player from killing for 30 seconds. Ability cooldown refreshes when they complete a task.

[lean latch]

role idea: rooster. It would be a button enabled role with a set active time. If the duck kills in that time period, then the rooster player (or everyone) is alerted at the time of kill.

[mint gale]

^^^ We have a day/night cycle in our next map genre where this would make a lot of sense.

[balmy basin]

So a male duck is called a Drake right?
The Drake gets access to a fireball projectile that'll roast a goose
Can be tuned around the ability to dodge it (sound queue, slow and avoidable, interact with fireball to matrix dodge it, etc)

[mint gale]

We do have this ability ^ We have an idea for a battle-royale mode.

[compact totem]

dective

They have to find who the murder is and there vote count as 2x

[pale cypress]

a snitch... "mallard" maybe? someone that once all tasks are complete knows who the ducks are

[mint gale]

Unfortunately, that player is also known to the ducks 🙂

[pale cypress]

the whole game or when they finish their tasks

[mint gale]

As soon as they get to 1 or fewer tasks

[compact totem]

Humonaid. The Human's goal is to eat all the geese.

They are disguesed as a duck.

[mint gale]

We have a vulture species

[eternal owl]

are all of the roles going to be birds

[compact totem]

The advengers. roles.

[mint gale]

We have two types of categories: Species (they have specific win conditions) and sub Roles:

Species right now are : Ducks, Goose, and Dodo

[neat trout]

is the Dodo's role to just die

[sudden dove]

Yeap or more specifically to get voted out; if you get killed you still lose

[quaint void]

Maybe the snitch should be a sub class for the dodo so they have more of an incentive to do tasks

[sudden dove]

The dodo loses if geese win though, so they actually don't want to help them at all. They could even just know who the ducks are from the start and the game would still work fine since they have no incentive in telling 😄

[brave hornet]

Haven’t had a chance to play yet but.... hunter-if you get voted out you get to kill one other player on the way out the door. This should come into effect before win condition is calculated so if the hunter gets voted off at 5 and kills an imposter, the game keeps going. Could get dicey with 3, you’d have to deactivate him at that point.

[mint gale]

I think this could be the betrayer mechanic -

[brave hornet]

I’ll check it out before I suggest any more. Haha

[mint gale]

It's an interesting idea none the less! We're excited to see what we could make with it!

[dapper umbra]

@ragna@fervent pasture

[random socket]

goose role where they can see the ducks color in the vent if they are standing on the vent that the duck is. Call it the snake or something like that!

[gloomy umbra]

A duck who can leave a little teleporter device anywhere on the map. Then It could at any time press a Button to teleport to the device (but you have to be carefull that no one is camping it).

[mint gale]

I think the ducks have vents already, why not give this to a scientist goose?

The ducks can "break" the teleporters if they find them

[final dock]

Ooh he should be called Duck - The Bounty Hunter and have a cosmetic set like Dog 😂

[brave hornet]

You are a genius

[random socket]

THE CROPDUSTER- Someone who has a deadly fart that takes 10-15 seconds to actually kill the goose. Could be silent but deadly. (once you guys get farting in the game, and not just in lobby) lol

[lament bluff]

slow them or blinds em with fart smoke or something^

[somber lance]

Role Taskmaster? Or Ducktective ?🤣

[mint gale]

They would be a goose so maybe goostective?

[somber lance]

Sniffer - Can sniff out impostors. Their report button will include a mini animation showing possible identity of the killer. If the killer has farted anywhere on the map their identity/color is shown. If the player hasn't farted, only the emote they have equipped is shown.

Mallard - Steals another goose's role. Only available for a limited time with a cooldown. OR Can only steal one role per game.

Technician - Can fix one sabotage from any location. Once they use their feature, the duck is informed of their location.

[mint gale]

^^ Technician should have their own terminal they can go to safely and instantly kill a sabotage

[somber lance]

CIA - Can view cameras, (maybe admin table and vitals?) and press emergency button from a device on their person.

[trail citrus]

^ FBI - Fowl Bureau of Investigation? 😉

[mint gale]

Special Agent goose is one we will likely create

It will have utility to learn who to rule out by completing tasks

[lethal blaze]

saboteur duck where they bug a task that causes the next goose to do the task to either:

• get locked into the task for at least X extra seconds after completion so other goose sus them for taking longer time than usual or a duck to come up from behind and kill them
• tricks the goose to think they completed the task but it actually doesn't count to completed task and has to do it again for next round (again to people to sus out on why they went to the same task if they already did it)

[mint gale]

^ Cool idea

[quaint void]

That would be so fun to play as

[small plinth]

Poltergeist - Goose that can participate in votes even while dead, this can be limited for balance or simply every round

[mint gale]

^^ Would be a colorless goose 🙂

Poltergoose

[fallow bramble]

Detective - can see old footsteps that have recently been placed. Each step is coloured in based on the colour of the person who walked that way. Footsteps disappear after 10-15 seconds.

[trail citrus]

^ Footsteps or feathers

[fallow bramble]

Even better!

[trail citrus]

Ghost Buster Duck - Has a ghost trap that can trap a ghost for one round preventing that ghost from completing tasks.

[mint gale]

^Exorcist Duck - This is cool

[fallow bramble]

I like this idea

[fallow bramble]

Electrician - Can fix lights from anywhere. But the task they have to do is a bit longer. So flicking the switches and then connecting some wires.

[mint gale]

^^ I don't think this adds enough interesting gameplay.

Maybe if it had some other advantage?

[fallow bramble]

Fair enough. Im guessing the devs want cool ideas so then the new roles arent boring. Also that way there isnt too many of them. Anyone got some ideas on what would be good to add to this?

[finite oriole]

Spy Goose - A goose that once it has its tasks complete it has arrows pointing towards the ducks. The catch is that once all but 1 or 2 of the tasks are done, his cover is blown and the ducks know who the spy is. His cover can also be blown by a morphling’s sample, but maybe only to the morphling and not all the ducks.

Idk if ya’ll have a snitch like idea yet, but there is one of you don’t

I also like the idea of a blackmailing duck. If the blackmailing duck uses his ability on you, you can not use the chat. Once voting, not meeting, but voting starts the first message you send will be “I have been blackmailed.” the rest of the messages blocked. In the meeting all messages will just be blocked. This could even end up having an interesting gambit of lying about being blackmailed to skip over a meeting as a duck

Perhaps even muting your prox chat outside of meetings until the next round after the meeting ends

[finite oriole]

I scrolled and saw snitch, kk. Still like my blackmail duck

Oh actually, maybe that is something still... Spy Goose - Can bug a player to see current effects such as “Morphed”, “Sampled”, or “Blackmailed”. Can also use the bug as a means of hearing what that person says in prox chat from anywhere on the map. That last ability can be toggled on/off so the spy doesn’t constantly have a second voice in his ear

[finite oriole]

Maybe the bug also gives location on the mini map so that isn’t just a prox chat effect

[lilac crag]

Italian Duck Subrole - Jumps on geese and squashes instead of cutting them. Add voice modulation to inject italian accent. Adds "a" to the end of every word in text chat. Joins game 30 seconds after the game is started. Refuses bread crumbs from vending machines, only eats pasta. Instead of farts, meatballs roll out. All hair cosmetics have an alternate "slicked back" version. Nicknames are automatically defaulted to "Nico"

[mint gale]

Can we call it Parmigiano Duck?

[lilac crag]

Yes that's a good idea

[sudden dove]

Mamma mia, this idea is beautifulle I am a gonna maka as soon as possibille

[lethal blaze]

Copygoose who has the ability to copy the role of the next person that died after the ability is used. Could be a fun idea where if there is dodo bird that gets murdered by a duck, the copygoose will become the next dodobird, or if they activated before a meeting that a duck gets voted out, then they become the new duck. Or they can end up taking a goose role to replace the goose that died and can help clear up claims.

[lilac crag]

Actually, this might be a good sub role for Dodo. They can copy a random role similar to how morphing samples. They can confuse other players but it’s still not in their interest to give ducks away. Would have to think more about this.

[mint gale]

^ This can trigger immediate win conditions and will be very confusing for other players. Something to definitely look into though.

[fiery acorn]

Sounds almost like the parasite bug we had of me and buzz lol

[lethal blaze]

yeah thats what i was thinking so i suggested that they replace instead of copy

[sudden dove]

Maybe a possessor subrole for the dodo that can be triggered once if you are close to a dead body, it will make you inherit it's abilities

Its*

[mint gale]

Yes ^^^ They have to find a dead body though so this seems alright. It does make the dodo really strong but it would be hilarious if they managed to find the vigilante or engineer

[lethal blaze]

I have another fun idea. A goose that is a wildcard so his ability has different effects and its random. 2 ideas for it:
When standing beside a person, he gets the ability to kill but its a 50/50 whether its the player beside them or its themselves. (Would cause for funny situations if the wildcard kills themselves because people would think the other person killed him or ducks can use it as a defence as well). They also get a 50/50 ability when there is a sabotage active, they can activate it and it has a 50/50 to either half the time remaining or double the time remaining.

Another idea I was thinking was like it costs a completed task (so it becomes undone) to use the ability and he has to be beside another person. Then he has different outcomes, I was thinking maybe like a dice roll where if it lands on 6, it kills the person beside them, 5 reveals their role, 4 and 3 does nothing but it still costs them a task, 2 undo the person beside task if applicable, 1 kills themselves.

[final dock]

mind control = the Ducktator

[compact totem]

Agent G: Like Agent P this duck goal is to stop the evil duck

[finite oriole]

Agent G - Can bug a player to see current effects such as “Morphed”, “Sampled”, and other effects added from other roles. Can also use the bug as a means of hearing what that person says in prox chat from anywhere on the map along with a chip icon to see where they are on the map (rooms only like admin in Among Us). Hearing the prox chat of that player can be toggled on/off so Agent G doesn’t constantly have a second voice in his ear or could be removed from this idea as an ability based on prox chat might not be the best designed thing from a gameplay standpoint or accessibility of a public quick play game. Perhaps a toggle in the rules to see if that prox chat effect works

[fallow bramble]

Would look great with the sunglasses I made a concept of in #🎩︱cosmetic-ideas just ignore the red tho. These sunglasses and a suit would work perfectly.

[finite oriole]

Indeed

I will say that it is a repeat of my spy goose idea, but now with a good name and a slight fix on the prox chat ability cause I’m not sure about it still

But I am a fan

[autumn drift]

security duck: has a mobile camera

[near horizon]

Got a a suggestion for a role: Fake Duck.
Only possible to play when you got Vigilante Goose active (that's the same as sheriff right?)

Can vent, solo win if he get killed by Vigilante Goose. (Maybe also can win as team with goose.)

[fallow bramble]

Fake duck is the dodo duck. (Or jester in among us) But instead of getting voted out, if killed by vigilante they win.

[fervent pasture]

Mates: litterally just lovers in the town of us mod but if they get too far from one another they get tp'ed to the other one

[somber lance]

don't know where to put this one

from my chat " You know what's a missed opportunity in this game? The Crew should have the option to "Duck" and dodge a kill-blow if timed properly"

[finite oriole]

#💡︱general-ideas but this is fine. Dodging a kill would also instantly show you who the duck is and keep crew alive technically infinitely if they do it properly every time

Probably best to have only one role capable of the dodge

[somber lance]

seems OP

[mint gale]

^ You can dodge a kill by not being in the wrong place at the wrong time. Making a skill dodge fundamentally changes the game mechanics and roles.

[lilac gate]

facts

[finite oriole]

Indeed

[mint gale]

yes

[tranquil karma]

A swan? Since swans are known for beauty and being regal and such, maybe they could act like a mayor where their vote counts as 4 (at 16+ alive birds) 3 (at 9+ birds) 2 (at 5+ birds)

[mint gale]

^^^ We do have an idea in the pipeline similar to this already in the works. In our game we have species and roles. Species have their own win condition ie. Dodo Bird - wins by getting voted out. Ducks are like imposters, and Geese are like crewmates. We have an idea for a Pigeon, Vulture, and maybe the swan can be another win condition. Swans are majestic but they are also terrible jerks too. Maybe they can be duck hunters?

[fervent pasture]

like sherrifs?

[mint gale]

We will be putting in a sheriff type role soon.

[fervent pasture]

sweet

proud of you guise

good game honestly

[mint gale]

🙂

[copper haven]

I really like how you are taking suggestions from the community of players! Keep up the great work! 😊

[finite oriole]

Maybe the swan can be like the survivor in ToS. All they want to do is survive. Does not matter whose side wins, as long as the Swan is alive by the end of the game the Swan wins too. The catch is that the Swan has no tasks. They have to avoid being killed, but also have to know the tasks to fake in the right moments to not look sus to the geese. They could come out and say they are the swan, but it might be an imposter just trying to stay alive by the kindness geese are totally known for

[mint gale]

Duck - Silencer: Can silence everyone in the meeting/chat for all alive players secretly. - Once per game.

Duck - Assassin: Starts rounds and exits vents with 0 sec kill cool-down: Default 60 second kill cool-down after kill.

[mint gale]

Late Night Development Session: The Fish Goose

[wispy bridge]

lol

[copper haven]

Hungry Duck (or something similar, Hansel and Gretle Duck?): Sees a trail of breadcrumbs left by the geese (that slowly disappears over time) to help track and kill the geese.

[mint gale]

^^^ We have the security officer role that does something similar to this = )

[old wyvern]

Zombie duck. Once per round they can kill a goose and resurrect them as a duck.

[steep moth]

^^^ we were thinking of a game mode for this!

[old wyvern]

Night vision goose. This goose can see as well as the ducks

[mint gale]

The Nocturne Goose is on my list

[spark granite]

Honker

[jolly garden]

a Necromancer! I like it 😄

[old wyvern]

Ok but if you do use my idea. I think it should be called the Duckromancer

[knotty aurora]

See, Duckromancer just sounds to me like it's a duck making kissy faces at all the others trying to get them to fall in love....

[old wyvern]

That would be a Duck Juan or Duckanova

[final dock]

Grey Goose - drunk goose (directional Movement controls are reversed) —- press/move down to go up etc

[fiery acorn]

town traitor role?

[fervent pasture]

The scientist, similar to the engineer role but can teleport to different locations than the engineer or just teleport to random locations around the map.

[mint gale]

^^ We actually have this; the scientist can put down a teleporter and return to it at any moment in the game 45 second cooldown

[mint gale]

Paranoid Goose - Prox Chat Enabled Only - Can hear everyone all the time but can't speak or chat even during meetings.

[fiery acorn]

love. so excited for it

[fiery canyon]

a role that can reverse time, a role where if u get voted off you win, a role where u can drag dead bodies, a role where u can turn invisible, a role where u can bring dead bodies back to life, a role that can turn 1 crewmember into an imposter.

a role that can see other peoples roles

[mint gale]

a role where if u get voted off you win - We have this role in the game already but the others are interesting

[final dock]

For a Role that sees other roles —- Complete a task to activate some X-ray specs which can see skeleton identity between goose or duck? Use once per game like the vigilante then they break.

But also not be too OP. see other role needs to be used before too many are killed off. — ie deactivates prior to final meeting where it’s 1 v 2 or 1 v 1 v 1

[nova nacelle]

could we have a love bird role where 2 random players get selected to be lovers (Ducks included) if one of them dies from the pair the other one dies too and they can teleport to each other ?

[lilac crag]

I’ve heard about this and it sounds pretty fun

[lilac crag]

This is a cool idea, it might even be an environmental thing

[simple knot]

how about a role for the duck called teleporter and is able to teleport every one to the other map and use the warp device

[calm osprey]

I think switching map in game might be a little much, but being able to teleport within a map could be fun! Maybe they can have the option to go alone, or choose someone to take with them. It could be a way to protect themselves or someone else.

[final dock]

This is already in development as a goose role. The Scientist. Can set a teleport anywhere it wants to. Once used it will have a cooldown before being able to be set again.

[mint gale]

Havent decided on it's exact specifics or how it would work but yes.

[calm osprey]

Do you have a page in here, where you update a list of roles in development? You could also have a list of potential roles for people to "vote" on with emotes, to see what people like the most. It would help to avoid people suggesting the same thing multiple times

[mint gale]

We definitely will do this after our initial patch release coming soon. ^^ 🙂

[final dock]

Ooh. How about a Kiwi Bird - they’re nocturnal. So maybe they’re constantly in flashlight mode until light sabotage is called and then they can see and move freely as ducks do —- cause it’s now dark. ...

[mint gale]

That would be the Noctourne

Kiwi would need its own win condition (species)

[final dock]

Oh yes. Of course - species win conditions.

[fair talon]

A kiwi would be awesome

But maybe im baised...

[west temple]

golden goose needs to be a thing

[heady pasture]

maybe a penguin role that would win by being the first to finish all their tasks it's pretty easy and stuff I know but just an idea for a new role that can win it's own way

[nova nacelle]

or what if penguins are like the snitch role in among us ?

where if they finish their tasks they see who the dodos are

with like arrows pointing at them

but maybe to balance it they have more tasks or harder tasks ?

[fervent pasture]

for dodo’s they should have a one time thing to change where they are in the voting screen so if timed perfectly they could get all the votes

it should be like the vigilante so it can only be used once

so it’s high risk high reward

[frail mirage]

One of my favorite roles in modded among us is the Assassin role where you can guess a special role during chat. This stops people from claiming roles and getting clear vouches all the time. Adds a very interesting element to the game.

[mint gale]

^^ We agree, we might have this in an upcoming patch very soon

[fair talon]

Awesome!

[runic notch]

Technician: special Duck role that cannot kill but has half cooldown on sabotages and/or does not need to input codes for sabotages

[hot thorn]

[fiery acorn]

@native quail please do not spam and please put code in #lfg-english-over18 or the other lfg channels

[fervent pasture]

time lord role

one goose is the time lord and every 30 sec or less can rewind time for like 3-5 seconds can disable sabotages if rewinded once it started or can add more time or revive dead goose who just got killed or just to mess with others and make them do the task again

[calm osprey]

It would be neat with a Golden Goose role, that lays golden eggs. If other geese finds it, it grants them something cool, maybe a power up, or even the ability of mechanic/ vigilante/ engineer, but only for 1 round or a limited time

[half agate]

A duck that is able to cast their vote to look like it's from someone else

[fair talon]

^^this is cool but would be nullified on anonymous voting

[fervent pasture]

detective:can have setting to toggle his magnifying glass and can see foot prints if he saw body and some foot prints going away from it he can follow it and see who killed but the prints would fade away slowly

[candid dust]

identity thief type of role where to win, you have to find a dead body and steal whatever role it had (even if it was a normal goose or duck role/dodo) and win with that corresponding side, and if you don't steal a role from a dead body, you just simply lose, kind of like how the dodo just loses if they don't get voted out.

[shy epoch]

Penguin: A neutral party where they need to be the last one standing in order to win, can kill with a slightly shorter kill cooldown then ducks.

Love Birds: Romeo and Juliette, where when one of them dies by any means, the other will also die

[remote spoke]

Like a scanner, it could be a spot on map and when you go onto the spot a light would flash green for goose or red for duck. Maybe an option with it for 2+ ducks that 1 duck could goto another spot on map and activate a sabotage (not able via remote) that will make the results flip for 30 seconds. Could maybe try and plan with the duck to activate it while tests happening to break it. Then like a 2 min cooldown before sabotage could be active again.

[heady pasture]

A duck role where they could send a private mesage to irher ducks but can be spotted by the mechanic like a sabotage

Other*

[remote spoke]

Chameleon Goose: THey can become invisable while standing still. A Duck could still potentially kill them if they try at the spot they are standing either by seeing them go, or chance. If the Goose moves they instantly become visable. Does not activate during tasks. takes half second of no movement before it changes.

[waxen latch]

Spy Duck: Has the special capability to activate an ability that temporarily (10 seconds or so?) shows the anonymous location of all players in a room on their map when they bring it up, not a hallway (Essentially admin info from Among Us). Should have a decent length cooldown.

[waxen latch]

Tracker Goose: Tracker goose has a one-time use ability where they can set up an invisible trap in any DOORWAY on the map. Any time a player runs through the trap the tracker goose gets a text notification of the player that went through the trap. This will appear in text chat for the tracker ONLY during the meeting and deactivate upon the tracker's death.

[mint gale]

Kapkan ^^^

[waxen latch]

Google tells me Rainbow Six, but I've never played it.

[final dock]

Cuckoo - A morphling-like infiltrator with a long standard kill cooldown, long sampling cooldown and a medium morphling phase. Sample DNA like a morphling, but when activated, swaps places with who they sampled, ie Player in hatchery, swaps with player in pond showers. Swap causes death to the sampled player whos body is now in hatchery, while the cuckoo is hanging out in the showers....... risk of getting caught when swapped vs someone else finding dead body brings on the deception.

[mint gale]

We could make a MockingBird species - at the beginning of the game impersonates another player but never switches back

wins only if the player they mock wins

[final dock]

oooh.

[mint gale]

they die if the player they mock dies

[final dock]

that also sounds neat

also something like a News Reporter/Journalist goose who can use the intercom once per round - ( to encourage use of the comms for eliminating/highlighting suspicion)

[fervent pasture]

lovers if one of them is killed the other would auto die too (they can also be the duck but not both cuz i guess if one is voted the other auto die and geese wins)

[fervent pasture]

Penguins dont mate for life but they do never break up and stay together forever, i belive penguin would be better for a lover type role.

[shy epoch]

But name a more evil bird then penguins

[fervent pasture]

tyranadon

from dinosaur train

pteradactyl

[shy epoch]

They technically aint birds though, them are flying reptiles

[fervent pasture]

they get to use it 3 times withour it being fixed if its fixed then they they get another one, they have 5 or 8 seconds idk and the cons and pros of this both suck because its a useless roe UNLESS they get to put up posters of who they think the duck is and if theyre right they get 3 gold coinds

but then this brings up an issue of gold farming

the game has to be 5+ mins and theyre has to be 2-3 ducks, whatever duck they get right it adds another gold coin. I.E I place a poster up and its the duck and im right, 3 coins, I get another right +1.

and so on

[fervent pasture]

alpacas

they dont even fly and theyre dumb and stupid

and their big

and spit

[shy epoch]

I mean alpacas are not a bird either

[mint gale]

After doing some research, alpacas are 100% not birds.

[lilac crag]

what about pigs

https://tenor.com/view/the-simpsons-pigs-fly-mr-gif-20724623

[edgy bear]

Well...

What about a Crow?

[somber lance]

^

[edgy bear]

Gameplay ideas though

Scores a Crow victory if they survive, can kill but can't vent or sabotage?

Only wins if the other surviving player is a Duck?

Actually...if the other surviving player is a Goose or Dodo.

Seeing as they are dumb, and therefore defenceless.

[fair talon]

Kea. They'll literally try and eat your car

[waxen latch]

Chicken: The Chicken is a neutral party role. They have the ability to secretly plant an egg on another nearby bird on an adjustable cooldown. The chicken wins by giving an egg to all living players. 🐔🥚 🥚 🥚 🥚

[vocal fulcrum]

swapper: allow one goose to take another player role so like a goose become a duck or goose with all task become a task with no task

[calm osprey]

Adding to list of lover roles, here's one with a twist;
The Romeo & Juliet, they win if they both get killed (not yeeted)... x')

[calm hare]

would only work if one of them was a duck though, otherwise the ducks couldn't win with them alive

[calm osprey]

Nah, they obviously have to commit suicide, one needs to find a knife hidden on the ship, the other needs to find the poison

[calm hare]

would also make sense for one of them to be a duck if it is romeo and juliet

question is, are the ducks or the geese the capulets?

[somber lance]

lmao

[candid dust]

some kind of duck role that when you use your kill button, they die like 10 seconds later or something

[uncut elbow]

Poison Duck

OH! Venom Duck

[frosty crest]

Oh oh like a duck that whenever it kills the goose body becomes them and the duck becomes the goose

Hmm identity thief

Idk I’m just spitballing

Oh oh like a duck that’s one and only goal is to find and kill the other ducks now the other ducks just seee him as a goose but the geese see him as a sorta sherif who immediately dies if he kills innocent

Why do I say “Oh oh” before each of my ideas

[calm hare]

A Ducksassin?

[mint gale]

Ninja Ducks can kell immediately after exiting vents and start of rounds

they will have double the standard kill cooldown

[calm hare]

I can see that one causing a few misclick kills XD

[waxen latch]

Phantom Duck 👻 Can kill and vent like a normal duck. After death or being voted out, spawns each round in a vent but cannot re-enter vents upon exiting (to help prevent confirmation of a Duck being voted out/killed). Kill cooldown will not start ticking down until the Phantom exits the vent. Phantom Duck is visible to all living birds as a ghost but moves at 25% movement speed and cannot go over walls or doors. The Phantom Duck may kill once per game from beyond the grave after which returns to a normal ghost.

[waxen latch]

Sleeper Agent/Anesthetist Duck 🕵️ Has the special ability to secretly inject a sleeping toxin to one other bird. After injection, can put the target to sleep at any time for a duration (5-8 seconds). The bird put to sleep cannot move, cannot use proximity chat (and could potentially have reduced vision?).

[waxen latch]

Stealth Duck ☁️ 💣☁️ Can either set a trap that can be activated later or actively choose an area (can't decide what's better) to create a smoke bomb area on a decent length cooldown. In this area, all geese have reduced vision (a la lights out). Tell me if I'm suggesting too many ideas.

[final dock]

^^^ maybe a manifold sabotage, which smokes up the engines and makes the engine/reactor area foggy when visuals are on?

or some kind of sab to the ovens in the kitchen, which fills out the cafe with smoke --- - where are the smoke detectors!? CALL HEALTH & SAFETY OFFICERS STAT

[hot helm]

Probably already been suggested, but just look at the Town Of Us Mod for among us, those are all roles i'd suggest for you to add ☺️

[fiery acorn]

@hot helm they have a whole list of roles theyve been working on already 😉

[hot helm]

had a feeling lol.

[waxen latch]

Illusionist Duck 👁️ Can activate an ability to create a clone. The clone lasts for a decent adjustable length and pops up a small camera in the corner of the screen to view clone and its surroundings. Wow Thor looks so cute today. The Duck can control its illusion by arrow keys/wasd/whatever is easiest. Using the ability again destroys the clone if it is still active. Counts as a body that blind ducks/vig/etc can kill. Will play a death animation and disappear after timer or premature end via reactivation or kill.

[abstract swift]

Bird Flu/Pigeon cult. Convert the rest of the birds one by one/ spread the flu to all the birds to win once you spread it to people they can spread it once to someone else.

[calm hare]

Sounds kind of like zombies

[minor rampart]

Cupid - Can choose two geese/duck to be lovers. If one of them dies then the other one dies with it. However the only way the cupid can win is if the two lovers survive the whole game.

Resurrector - This goose can bring back one corpse back to life if they find the dead body. The way that they would win is if the geese win or if they resurrect someone in the game.

Hacker - When this goose finishes it tasks, if it goes to med bay afterwards then it can see the role of one player. Then after the meeting of that round then they can see another players role.

Stalker - This duck chooses another player at the start of the game, if the other player dies then the duck will also die as well. The stalker can't kill anyone one until the other ducks have died first, this means that if the stalker gets voted off during the game before the other ducks are killed then the people who the stalker chose to stalk would die with them.

[remote spoke]

To strong. Maybe they could have some hacking chal and once complete they get to view a random or select players role, but either it's only 1,or they then have to hack again with harder chal to get another and another.

[minor rampart]

Maybe they choose one player each round after the tasks are complete

[remote spoke]

Well that's why I suggested ahacking/task kinds thing. Complete it. Simple at first, but gets harder each time, once complete they find out one. This to tie into hacking they do something with it.

[minor rampart]

Trapper - This duck can put down up to three traps down in the whole game, if a goose walks over it the goose gets stuck and has to do a special task to break free of the trap. However the trapper will be notified that someone is trapped so if the goose doesn't get out in time then the trapper can kill them.

[finite oriole]

Mayhaps a Whisperer Duck or even a different species for this like a Parrot idk. He has bad vision (proportional to the setting for Duck if it is a Duck) but will slowly convert anyone in the vision without their knowledge. They will not know if they were converted or not until the end. If by everyone alive is “converted” the Whisperer wins. If it’s a Duck role, then that slow conversion will still happen, but once one goose/dodo/whatever is converted to Duck they can no longer convert anyone.

Also maybe that converted bird to duck cannot kill if it becomes a duck role... just a helpful voter, surveyor, and saboteur

[vestal panther]

Last night while were were play testing the Sheriff role there were a couple ideas thrown around in the voice chat. One stuck out as particularly good and I still can't believe no one posted it here. So here's our pitch from what I remember, I will give credit to everyone I remember discussing it at the end. We have geese. We have ducks. We even have the noble dodo. What are we missing? Chickens. Chickens have been caught in the middle of the war between geese and ducks for so long, they have grown to hate both sides. So they take neutral killing roles, like arsonist, serial killer/glitch, and maybe even vampire. Credit goes to @somber lance @distant field @frail basin @final dock @nimble bramble @pine vapor and I cant find an @ for MiMa, but it was a lot of her idea. @hoary wind

[mint gale]

^^^ We like this but maybe the pigeon role

[vestal panther]

@mint gale Pigeon works too 😛

[hot helm]

hmmm i dont know why but maybe a gag zombie roll of some kind like the Ichiya zombies from Fairy tail, but bird themed, maybe the Man-Goose Role xD where you're goal is to turn others into more of you you fail if you turn others into Man-Geese, or you're voted out with all your infected xD

[sonic salmon]

Role abilities: This role can put a "protective shield" on a player just once a game. So if the duck tries to kill the goose, he will survive to the first attack, the duck lose the kill oppurtunity so the cooldown will start and will appear a screen animation to the duck (something like clouds and angelic choir),for the time specified in the game settings, that obfuscate the duck's vision so the duck loses some time.

The name of the role is important for us so if you choose this please don't remove it <3```

idea by: @sonic salmon  @green echo @limpid tendon @solid mantle

[abstract swift]

Role idea: mother goose at some point during the match you lay an egg that gives birth to a dead player. There is a 20% chance they are duck and an 80% chance they spawn as goose.

[sonic salmon]

it's op because the death player knows who is the impostor i think

[abstract swift]

Hmmm would have to be from being voted out early maybe.

And instantly spawn

So they don't see anything

[sonic salmon]

@mint gale

[mint gale]

Im always watching the channel, no need to @me lol.

[abstract swift]

Jig saw duck - forces two players who were selected to play a minigame the loser dies the winner lives.

[sonic salmon]

sorry😥

[young rose]

How about a chosen he can see what peapole were doing before they died but they dont see the duck in the visions.

[ruby spindle]

How about an inspector goose, you can set the amount of times that this goose can inspect, and uses them to see what another goose or ducks role is. There would also be a cool down for each inspection that the lobby leader can set

[final dock]

There is a role concept like this on the list!

[ruby spindle]

oh nice!

[mint gale]

just dropping this here

[fiery acorn]

if its what i think it is... im so excited

[mint gale]

@ruby spindle We can do an inspector where if you do inspect a duck and resets their kill cooldown

What do you think it is @fiery acorn

[ruby spindle]

that would be sick, bcuz then its balanced cuz it reveals the inspector as well

[mint gale]

Yep

[fiery acorn]

i cant remember the exact word u used but i cant speak at all role... the psycho or whatever.

[mint gale]

We need to give some love to the Dodo too...

or as Jihi would say, The Doo Doo

[ruby spindle]

yeah i think dodo should be able to vent tbh

[mint gale]

^^^ I am considering this as an option

[ruby spindle]

or maybe do like a fake kill to where if they see a body they can reenact the death, tho i feel like this one would be a bit harder to do

and a bit op

[waxen latch]

Dodo feels fine.

[mint gale]

Yes this would be an option for larger games only

[waxen latch]

I think more third party roles would be better.

Since it would allow people to have more chances to deceive others as being something other than Dodo.

[ruby spindle]

i know it may seem like taking an idea, but i would love an arsonist role like from the among us town of us mod, to where they run around pouring gas on the others, and then setting everyone on fire at once, i feel like it would fun especially with bigger lobbies

[mint gale]

Yeah modifications to the Dodo bird would be at the bottom of the list right now

It's funny you mentioned Town of Us @ruby spindle

[waxen latch]

Yeah, having arsonist, executioner, etc style roles would give Dodo some extra help indirectly.

[ruby spindle]

why is that?

[calm osprey]

@steep moth I love the little tied up birdie
Phish told me to tell you - I don't know why, but I do as instructed

[final dock]

[sonic salmon]

what's about our idea @mint gale ? 🙂

[abstract swift]

Basically the round after you die you get to vote. anonymous voting must be on so no one can tell who you voted for.

[old jolt]

a doppelganger, this has probably been recommended but i couldnt find it. basically at the start of the game the doppelganger chooses a random player from the list of players and get their role along with that original player. for example if i choose to click on the red goose and it tells me theyre a technician i am now also a technician. i think this could make some really cool games when there are two of the same roles or more then the max number of ducks.

[mint gale]

We have a role similar to this on our idea list - The impersonator

[old jolt]

did you guys post the idea list somewhere? so we dont reccomend stuff you already thought of and waste your time

[mint gale]

We will eventually do this (this week) but right now the small iterations on similar ideas are actually really helping

🙂

As I said we have something similar, but not quite exactly like it

Your recommendation can definitely influence our design choices!

[old jolt]

another idea is a role called the minion that at the start of the game sees who the ducks are, but the ducks dont know who the minion is. the minion wins when the ducks win

[stone lagoon]

I have an Idea for a role, Maybe there could be a goose Who Knows who the ducks are but cannot chat?

Another Idea Is a duck who can drag bodies, Or maybe a duck who can teleport

[mint gale]

@stone lagoon I think that's awesome; An undertaker should be able to move bodies

[stone lagoon]

Thanks!

[calm hare]

Revenant/Phantom, Duck role, can possess one person after death, cannot control that player's movements, but can cause that goose to murder other players

[clever blade]

If there were ever to be a spy role. Goldeneye should be the name. A 007 James Bond easter egg and its an actual type of duck or goose. Shoot forgot which is which lol

[short ore]

Detective - can see foot prints left by other geese and/or can check bodies
The feathers look funny - Dodo
There's a zipper on their back - regular duck
Their eyes look fearful - medium (will usually see ghosts chasing the ducks)
They have a scanner on them - technician
They seem to be covered in dust - mechanic
They have a security badge - Sheriff
They seem to have a mask and cape - Vigilante
There seems to be money around the body - Bounty
There's blood around their bill - cannibal
These feathers match your own when touched - morphling
There doesn't seem to be anything special - regular goose

[mint gale]

This would be extremely hard to update as we continually add new roles to the game

[calm hare]

Very well thought out though

[mint gale]

Agree

If there was a simpler way to implement we could consider

[short ore]

thus why the 'or' and can just do the foot prints and yeah I think things through before suggesting but instead of being a detective just call them 'Tracker' but the footprints would require certain tuning to avoid lag as I know 'Town of Us' does lag a lot

[mint gale]

^^^ Our engine is integrated, we're not a mod so we can easily do this without the fear of endangering the CPU main

[stone lagoon]

I have a suggestion maybe a Hypnotist role who if close to a goose when they press the hypno button They would gain control of that Goose and Make Them vent, kill or sabotage, Maybe even morph

[knotty aurora]

There was a detective mod for Among Us that the detective could inspect the body and it would give "clues" and random info, so like it would say the killed crewmate had unpaid parking ticket in their pocket and random stuff like that but then also make some semi-vague comment about the imposter

[somber lance]

In Town of Impostors the detective could tell if the body had been moved and how long it had been there.

[thorny knoll]

ye

[limber cipher]

"stoner" or forgetful duck - after meetings their tasks change - they may get assigned a task they have already done

[hazy abyss]

You can add a role that gives shield to someone and a role that have to kill a person and if they do it they win

[devout dirge]

i guess this message makes sense now :3

@ruby spindle

[ruby spindle]

i forgot about that message XD

@devout dirge

why did that just send now? XD

[steep moth]

#816356997564727367

[lime bison]

Seance-
Sort of like a medium.

Basically activates during a meeting (either 1st or after a certain few or able to be activated).
So as a Seance Goose you can see a random dead Goose’s vote. It will only appear for the Seance Goose.

Additional tweaks could be:
The Seance goose could be muted for in meetings (would be fun because others may think said person is silenced).

Or the Seance goose’s ability will activate randomly so they wouldn’t know when their power will activate.

It could use some tweaking but the gist of it is that a Goose can see a dead vote (not a ducks vote).

If my fellow bird’s like this idea please emote any reaction 🙂 “quack” 🦆🐣

[somber lance]

[ruby pine]

Has the lovers role been contemplated or asked yet? Just curious would love to see it

[mint gale]

Yes it has been asked 🙂

[ruby pine]

Ok

[wicked sable]

Ok so when I would play Ultimate werewolf I began with 3 teams; werewolves villagers and the village idiot (to this game its geese, ducks, and dodo). But I learned there were other roles, like cult leader, they were different teams as well with with a special win condition of making people join the cult unwillingly. They would win if everyone left alive including the the cult leader was in the cult. We could make a roll for a cult leader, or sickness, or fungus, along those lines where they can do similar (with cooldowns of course) and I think it'd be awesome to have!

[limpid mango]

Randomly a Duck that was killed by a Sheriff has the ability, while a ghost to kill the sheriff (make it a small random chance like 5%)

Also, would love it if Ghost could fart, and randomly the Live Geese and Ducks can see/hear the farts

Mother Goose - they can surrender their life for another goose (or duck) they wouldn't know, for the chance of the one they found dead to come back to life and share their story.

Goose Support - Can remotely fix a sabotage once per game

[limpid mango]

Decoy - For goose, can leave a decoy doing a task, if a duck kills it, he dies and alerts the Goose but the goose doesn't know who killed its decoy

[stuck torrent]

Need a "Silly Goose" role. No idea what it should do, but it needs to be a thing.

[blazing sedge]

In addition to the Canadian Goose Role- Given the fact Canadian Geese can be mean I think a neat addition would be if the Ducks, Vigilantes, or Sheriff kills the Canadian Goose in addition to the "Self Report" I think if the Canadian Goose gets killed they also kill the Duck, Vigilante, or Sheriff etc.

[normal tusk]

As a person living in Canada if like to suggest a name change for Canadian goose to "cobra chicken". As this is a popular term for the Canadian geese here in canada

[mint gale]

Most of the developers are also from Toronto 🙂 We a reason behind naming it the Canadian Goose

[normal tusk]

Lol

I would like to spread the word of our righteous overlords the Cobra chickens lol

[calm hare]

hmmm, there's an idea, Preacher goose, they can either convert a duck to a goose or they die if they try to convert a goose. Would be best used with blind ducks i think

[near pasture]

detective goose : once a dead body is found he can follow footprints of the murderer but for only a limited range, (a room distance?) just to get a general idea where they went

[limpid mango]

Swan - If killed by a Duck, the Duck dies, and does an auto report. But make swan chance very low/rare. Also, swan only gets spawned when there are two or more ducks in the game.

[uncut hound]

Bad Egg - neutral role that can leave rotten eggs that explode and kill someone nearby after 5 seconds of it being laid.

Mother Goose - essentially a medic type role, either brings back the dead or puts a shield on 1 player

Swan / Ugly duckling - similar to the Glitch role. Can hack people so they can't do tasks, and can disguise as other players

Oh and proximity chat in the main lobby since there are 16 players (too many people talk at once over each other)

[uncut hound]

Im from Oshawa Ontario

If you ever add modifiers, the Canadian Goose needs maple syrup. An idea for that is the Canadian goose can squirt maple syrup at a player to slow them down

Rubber Ducky - a duck that uses decoys

[edgy bear]

The 3GG - a robot avian disguised as a goose with one objective: leave nothing alive.
Can't kill anything directly, can sabotage, but explodes either on command or when killed, killing nearby birds indiscriminately.
The only way for them to win is to kill all the remaining players simultaneously, although to prevent this from happening too early, perhaps a 3 minute warmup should be necessary.

[fervent pasture]

American Goose - if a duck tries to kill them, the duck dies

[final dock]

Sacrifice - goose. Must be voted out first for outcome = auto goose win. If not first voted out, then like bounty becomes a plain goose. Counters the dodo wanting to be voted out. Needs a balance such as silenced first round?

[abstract swift]

Unlucky duck. They will be struck by lightning or crushed by a Boulder or some funny unfortunate death on the third round but anyone around them will go with them.

[rich dome]

I like this idea, but maybe killing the duck is too much. Maybe it lets out some sort of alert, either a ping on the map for all geese, or it notifies only the goose that laid the decoy or something, then it can be once per round since it doesn't give you 100% information unless your nearby (which makes it dangerous, because I assume it is the same color as the goose that set it out... easy to notice if there are two geese that look the same). Maybe it falls apart after some amount of time, making it a risk that you reveal who you are. Just thoughts, regardless of the details, I like this idea!

[stuck torrent]

Though not exactly a duck, I like the role name too much...

Blue Footed Booby-Trapper: Can booby trap one task or sabotage repair task per game, causing the first goose to die after completing that task. It would have to be a task itself to set the trap.

[calm hare]

Bonus: on blind ducks this can kill another duck XD

[midnight forum]

The diffuser : one goose can inactivate a sabotage so It can't be called until a meeting is called or the ducks have to re activate the sabotage to use it again.

[fossil kiln]

Electrician Goose: can see normal vision when lights are out but sees slightly less when lights are on.

[calm osprey]

Maybe tweak it and make it a bat or something, using echolocation.... x)

[fossil kiln]

@calm osprey that actually sounds cooler lol a bat goose hehe

Chameleon Duck/Goose: can go invisible after standing still for __ amount of time.

Tattletale Goose: can see the role of 1 person only once per game

[calm osprey]

Chameleon has been suggested before ^^
And I kind of like the idea of a tattletale goose, though we might need to find a weakness for it, because it would be very OP if they happen to find a duck (especially in a game with few ducks)

[fossil kiln]

@calm osprey very true

Judge Duck: can guess the role of a random Goose and if guessed right they instantly get voted out only during voting screen and only once per game.

@calm osprey it will keep people from yelling their roles out loud 😂

@calm osprey Tattletale Goose could get voted out if they find a duck if they get voted out

[calm osprey]

You have some interesting ideas 🧐

[fossil kiln]

@calm osprey my head is full of ideas but im just a lazy person x(

Mole Duck: can dig a hole where they stand to make a quick escape cooldown of 45 seconds and cannot use vents.

[crisp lance]

tattletale could be like a two truth one lie scenario so you never are sure what is true unless they reveal themselves, though maybe flip it to two lies and 1 truth to make it less reliable.

[fossil kiln]

@crisp lance that actually sounds more like a tattletale lol also would balance it out more

@crisp lance i think it should be 1 truth and 1 lie so its a 50/50

[slow pivot]

Mortal Enemies: two geese that will stop at NOTHING to get each other voted out, if one succeeds they win

Detective: sees an arrow pointing in the direction the duck went after killing (on the map if they aren't near the body when it's reported maybe?)

[calm osprey]

Sounds kind of fun, but I think it would ruin the game play for others? And most people are not so smart about it, so it would often end up being obvious... x)

I'm pretty sure some version of that detective role is in the works, as many similar ones have been suggested

[vivid onyx]

how about a role that gives a duck a 15% chance to kill more than one on a stack?

[mint gale]

We have the "Professional" role...

We're thinking of making it so that it has no cooldown on every other kill

but double cooldown otherwise

[vivid onyx]

so... unlimited killing for a few seconds before it gets a long cooldown?

[mint gale]

just twice

then 2x CD

[vivid onyx]

oh ok

[edgy bear]

Captain Goose - can see what roles geese have, but has a bounty on their head, meaning they can vouch for others but are a big target themselves

so if you kill a mechanic and attempt to pose as one, the captain will know, so you've got to get rid of them first

attempting to pose as a captain would be a bad idea even when they are dead

for the sake of balance, one role will be shown on the wrong player, e.g: the captain could think a duck was an engineer

as we all know geese are murderous dumb and cunning forgetful

so if the original engineer is dead, duck can safely say "yes I'm an engineer" should the Captain ask

otherwise if engineer is alive, the real engineer says "wait up Captain, I'm the engineer"

if the duck didn't claim to be an engineer before the real one speaks up, or states honestly that they aren't, then they avoid suspicion

or the duck could claim to be the real engineer and try and vote off the original if no one can vouch for them

[fossil kiln]

Third Eye Duck: can see other players on the mini map but doesn’t specify who is who.

Prisoner Goose: can chain another player to them for 30 seconds and can’t go out of their vision until the 30 seconds is up, 90 second cooldown.

[trail violet]

Outlaw Goose: works same as vigilante, but this roles goal is to eliminate the ducks and geese to win the game.

[calm hare]

so, like the killer in TTT

[vivid onyx]

how about a role with a another type of bird? like a pigeon goose where they can poo on the floor and make anyone slip (including themselves) with a 30% of it being a secret death animation? 3 poops max, just an idea since we have a dodo bird

[calm hare]

think they already have a pigeon role in the works if i recall right

[vivid onyx]

really? thats neat

[mint gale]

We have pigeon and vulture coming soon

also lovers, with a new win condition

[calm hare]

Lovebirds?

[vivid onyx]

to be the last two to survive?

[mint gale]

Well not really 🙂

Lovers can be Goose/Goose or Goose/Duck

so it can make for some really silly gameplay

[vivid onyx]

bad duck good goose? kind of like a bad cop good cop thing where if two players (if they have this role) are both in the same room and theres a third player, the two can interrogate the player for their role? can only be used once per game

[midnight forum]

The diffuser : one goose can inactivate a sabotage so It can't be called until a meeting is called or the ducks have to re activate the sabotage to use it again.

[fossil kiln]

Owl: can see when lights are out and can kill any player only when lights are out but plays as a normal Goose when lights are on.

[sudden rampart]

An owl is an interesting idea, especially with working with the lights. We've been careful with adding roles that have changing teams because we are worried it can upset a delicate game balance

[fossil kiln]

@sudden rampart it could be part of the Goose team maybe? or it can be a neutral role that can either be a duck or Goose and be called something diiferent?

because i think neutral roles will be pretty cool

[sudden rampart]

It could be. Neutral roles as you call it tend to have their own win condition (like the Dodo), so we'd have to set something for that

[fossil kiln]

oh i see

[sudden rampart]

We have a few coming up!

One we have planned, for example, is the Vulture, who wins by eating a certain number of corpses.

[fossil kiln]

oh my god xD

[mint gale]

https://tenor.com/view/bird-vulture-gif-8910827

[fossil kiln]

@sudden rampart that sounds like my kind of role lmao because i find bodies like no tomorrow

[abstract swift]

hmm thats probably going to be hard to balance.

got to get to them boddies quick to report.

[sudden rampart]

It definitely depends on what you have in mind in terms of balance - For example, we wouldn't expect a Vulture to win at equal %'s as the Duck team or Geese team

[fossil kiln]

Mare Duck: A demonic duck that can see when lights are out and gets kill cooldown cut in half but sees half of normal vision when lights are on.

[abstract swift]

right but if a vulture eats bodies then there isnt anything to report right?

[sudden rampart]

And certainly there are settings that could make things much more difficult. Like games with more emergency buttons or a Cannibal would make things quite difficult

Yes, but if you suspect a vulture, you would corresopndingly increase the frequency of button presses. And if Ducks suspect a vulture, maybe they'll make the effort to kill someone over a vent to watch to see who gets rid of it

There is definitely play and counterplay that could exist

[fossil kiln]

i dont think vulture would be too op because most bodies found are reported instantly also you'll get sussed for eating a body if caught

[abstract swift]

oh yeah didnt think of killing them

[sudden rampart]

The vulture is another species, like the Dodo, and would have an isolated solo win condition

[abstract swift]

modern problems require modern solutions

[sudden rampart]

But the vulture and duck objectives align slightly

it's definitely a new dynamic that doesn't exist in the game yet

[abstract swift]

you guys are actually gonna overheat my brain when even more roles get added

[sudden rampart]

🥵

[mint gale]

https://tenor.com/view/a-whole-new-world-aladdin-jasmine-i-can-show-you-the-world-flying-carpet-gif-5187023

[hearty quiver]

Love birds- Theres 2 love birds and their role is for both of them to stay alive all round, if they stay alive they win

[final dock]

https://tenor.com/view/rainn-wilson-shh-secret-prank-gif-17131726

[hearty quiver]

Oooooo

[uncut hound]

Diseased/infected - neutral role
Role is much like arsonist but instead of dousing with gas, they have to sneeze or vomit on everyone to win.

[sudden rampart]

we have something like that in the works called the Pigeon

[fervent pasture]

A duck role or a neutral role that can only attack in the dark .Ligths can only be sabotaged in only one or two rooms at a time by them. To fix them you go to the ligths pannel in electrical and you only get the arrow pointing to the pannel once you step in the room . He will work as intended if Ducks sabotage the ligths (it can kill everywhere till ligths are turned on) .If ligths are sabotaged by ducks and then fixed , the rooms he sabotaged the ligths will be fixed.
If you add it as a neutral role : Ducks have half vision in rooms affected by it and shorter range than the person who sabotaged the ligths.

To implement this : you need a fade animation for the ligths , ligths that are outside the room can and will light up a bit the entrance to the room with ligths sabotaged .

Edit : This role cannot vent

Any suggestion will be appreciated 🙂

[fervent pasture]

Lol, I made it more detailed tho. I like the name you put to it

I also made it duck / neutral role

[muted jacinth]

Chicken role: just a normal goose but can go into vents or have a way to hide

Untiled goose role: a goose that causes chaos like makes the intercom turn off or makes it so the ducks have to go back and get a sabotage they already had

[sudden rampart]

@muted jacinth The mechanic is currently a normal goose that can go into vents

[crimson ice]

Idea: karate goose that can defend itself when a duck tries to kill it

[sudden rampart]

what happens if a duck tries to kill it?

[crimson ice]

they both live

so its not too overpowered

[sudden rampart]

So karate goose can only be voted out?

[calm hare]

TBH, sounds a lot like the canadian, but a bit more annoying

https://tenor.com/view/exactly-daniel-larusso-cobra-kai-correct-thats-right-gif-19654956

[shadow falcon]

Idea: ok it might be a bit good what about a detective role It can see footpraints

*footprint

[shadow falcon]

I was about to think of that lol

And i have another one

What if a healer duck can revive someone but like other roles in among us if you revuve someone don't snitch who is the other so it will be fair

[calm hare]

could make it where if you get revived you are silenced for a round or something

[shadow falcon]

yea

just like slincer your not allowed to spek

*speak

and if your in vc...just mute and shut up

[calm hare]

well for VC that's up to the people who are on discord or whatever to figure out

[shadow falcon]

Yea

but if they snitched

vote them outta here

If they dm you and said it is random duck just shut your mouth

Ok 1 last idea and that one may be for the ducks

Hawk: Can go fast and could kill someone before it's too late

and can drag geese

But to be fair

you drag geese and cooldown on at the same as invisible

[waxen latch]

Stalker Duck: Special ability can open up a menu with all players on it like a meeting. Can select one alive player and will get an arrow pointing to the selected target and see them through fog of war if on your screen but not normally visible, ie behind a wall or low vision settings. Stalking someone should last for an adjustable duration and then goes on cooldown. Should end and go on cooldown if target dies as well.

[shadow falcon]

https://tenor.com/view/hmmm-mmmm-interesting-batman-gif-11990772

very intresting

[brisk lotus]

it'll be cool if there was a troll bird

that must be killed in order to win

[shadow falcon]

i am good at trolling

[hearty quiver]

Hawk is like a janitor then? Can drag bodies?

[brisk lotus]

i thought janitors clean up the body

[hearty quiver]

Thats just the cannibal

[brisk lotus]

so no one can see or report it

[shadow falcon]

Yea

[brisk lotus]

oh yeah that's right

[shadow falcon]

can drag geese or dead body

[hearty quiver]

Janitor can move the body for a few seconds maybe?

Hehe sweeper goose

[shadow falcon]

Yea since it is a bit op

or going fast or invisible idk

[hearty quiver]

Maybe if found by sheriff they can see if its been moved just they don't know where from

[brisk lotus]

never been a canibal in the game

'cannibal'

[shadow falcon]

wait i have an idea for a medic

It can darg dead bodies and in order to revive them'

they should drag dead bodies to the medical

[brisk lotus]

that's a pretty good idea

[shadow falcon]

cus a medic a bit op right?

[brisk lotus]

yeah but when they're killed they cant be revived

[shadow falcon]

yea ik

I saw like a few youtubers playing this role in among us

[hearty quiver]

Maybe a witch doctor instead of medic. They can bring them back but they are silenced and they can only bring back one goose per game

[shadow falcon]

Yea a dead goose will be revived and will snitch

[hearty quiver]

And they have to have died in the last 10 seconds

[shadow falcon]

Wait....

I got another idea...but it is ok if it is not here

[brisk lotus]

also we could name the troll 'the ostrich role'

[shadow falcon]

What if there is a witch or wizard like you said but i wanna say a normal doc

anyway

the witch just like a doc but they revive but at a cost...

the revived person will be a zombie

[hearty quiver]

I would say a witchdoctor and janitor as opposing. They both can drag bodies, witch doctor must bring body into medbay to revive a silenced zombie goose

[shadow falcon]

Yea

it is undead so it is impossible to die as a zombie

but to be fair the zombie walks slowly

cus...they're a zombie

And the only way to win is to vote out the witch who transform them

but they should let the witch be the duck

and...the witch will do spell on the goose to transform them

[hearty quiver]

Nah they can die again as that means ducks can't win

[shadow falcon]

but the witch could be a morphling right?

[brisk lotus]

you got a point @hearty quiver

[shadow falcon]

Well i meant for a zombie cannot be voted nither killed :/

[brisk lotus]

hmm just thinking of more roles

[shadow falcon]

But the witch probably

but though it is very op

[brisk lotus]

a time keeper

so they can control time

either stop time

[shadow falcon]

but rewind only for 5 second

[brisk lotus]

or rewind time

yeah

[shadow falcon]

Da world!

[hearty quiver]

Yall have to think about the actual problems wirh that

[shadow falcon]

yea ik

[hearty quiver]

If someone was killed then they would be reversed then that duck would be out fairly quickly

[shadow falcon]

but to make it fair...that time keeper have 30 seconds to rewind for 5 seconds

[brisk lotus]

30 seconds

[shadow falcon]

yea

Since ofc 5 second someone died

they will be revived

Like among us for example

[brisk lotus]

wait so basically your telling me that you can rewind to what happened 5 seconds ago

[shadow falcon]

yea

for example i roasted you

the wizard rewind time

and your back to normal

[brisk lotus]

would that mean the killers timer will reset to the timer it was at before they killed?

[shadow falcon]

well...idk

[brisk lotus]

because it wouldn't be fair for the ducks that just killed and then rewind time then they're stilll at like 20 seconds or so

[shadow falcon]

vent digger...planting vents as a duck

[brisk lotus]

and will mechanics be able to use them or not?

[shadow falcon]

no...

since he can vent as a goose

[somber lance]

So basically all roles from Town of Us

In short

[brisk lotus]

yeah basically

[shadow falcon]

well yes...actlluy i didn't know that

[brisk lotus]

wait what about a baby role?

[shadow falcon]

Woah but...won't people complain it copy righted?

[somber lance]

The guy who made Town of Us works for Gaggle.

[shadow falcon]

wait...I didn't know that

[brisk lotus]

ooh nice

me neither

but the baby role could be called ... what's the name for a baby goose?

[shadow falcon]

gosling

[brisk lotus]

yeah that

[shadow falcon]

but a baby duck duckling

[brisk lotus]

could be called the goosling role

[shadow falcon]

yea that works too

[hearty quiver]

A gosling?

[shadow falcon]

What if there is an assassin duck goal: kill their targets

It will show them their targets

[brisk lotus]

what happens when they kill their target?

[shadow falcon]

either ejected or kill targets

the game will show them their next targets

But...the problem iis

(not timer)

is that is they killed the wrong person they die

basiccaly a sheriff

but he is a killer

so the bounty duck can be safe if the assassin doesn't have their targets...or well they

I am finished

[somber lance]

Great ideas

[shadow falcon]

But if you wanna add what a assassin have to get powers then yes

ty ty

but though the assassin when he killed the wrong target will be either he is alive and the assassin dead or assassin and him dead

yea...

But if the vigilante is their targets

yea

so i recommend that the assassin to kill sneaky

lmao why?

[brisk lotus]

my vigilante hunter idea

bc i didnt think about the vigilante killing the vigilante hunter

what if there was a colour swappingrole for ducks

so everyone turns grey

until the timer for the power runs out

which it should go for 10 seconds and recharge is 40 seconds

[shadow falcon]

that is a cool idea ngl

[brisk lotus]

so i was looking at my friends server to ask if they knew any roles to play and they said "why not a swapper role?"

and know i got an idea for it but i'll let you go @shadow falcon

[shadow falcon]

mine is: thief role: you can steal someone's role and give them the thief role like you stole a sheriff and gave them thief role like shifter in town of us

[brisk lotus]

literally what i said but good thinking

[shadow falcon]

yea but you said to make people gery like comfaluge

[brisk lotus]

swapper role is basically like that role

[shadow falcon]

ok what is ur ideas

yea but i name it thief role but a sherrif can kill him without dead

like a sherrif killing a dodo

[final dock]

Hi @shadow falcon and @brisk lotus loving the ideas but is it possible for you to take this brainstorming to a private chat between the two of you and come up with your ideas and then pop them in here? This isn’t really a long conversation channel as it makes it harder to for devs to keep track of your ideas.

[fervent pasture]

Joke : Karen modifier . Their vote have priority 😂

[shadow falcon]

sorry

[brisk lotus]

yeah ok soz @final dock

[shadow falcon]

me and @brisk lotus always thought of cool roles lool

ok @brisk lotus ready?

[brisk lotus]

yep

[shadow falcon]

i sent you

[final dock]

All good - they are great but it works best if you pop a summary in like. Goose role. Does this. Etc etc. :).

Looking forward to seeing what you two come up with!!

[fervent pasture]

I forgot to mention. This role cannot vent.

[shadow falcon]

Ok me and @brisk lotus thought of 4 roles

[waxen berry]

Role Idea: Future/Cyber Goose. They can set a teleporter device on the map, and use it at their convinence to teleport wherever the teleporter is located. once the goose teleports, the device has a cool down before it can be placed again. 5 secs after placing it down, 15-20 after using the teleporter. Think of it as a disposibal escape route for a goose just before a murder. Not sure if the device could be destroyed by a duck if discovered as a counter to the role

Role Idea: The Enhanced Duck. A duck with mutated DNA that have access to two features: 1. An ability to change their size, make themselves smaller to run faster for a small duration of time. 2. With the duck's dna changes, it cannot wear its sabotage watch, so there for it must improvise and can only set off sabatages from the control modules(wherever you put in the code to sabatoge). It can still vent like a normal duck

[sudden rampart]

Teleportation is a cool idea and one we've thought to implement in the next map! We are wary of adding roles that can instantly clear themselves though

For example, if you claimed to be a Canadian goose, no one could easily tell until you died, and even then it's not certain. Same with you being a mechanic or vigilante... It could still be a duck!

[waxen berry]

Well, i guess it could also be a duck role as well. You can get a quick kill, then go back to where you where, and have an aliby for that said kill. Just an idea throwing it out :)

[sudden rampart]

It's definitely a good idea that can be fleshed out and explored!

[waxen berry]

Coolio!

[hollow sorrel]

Role idea: Hacker Goose.
This goose can place a remote operated camera station that allows the goose to view the map’s cameras from anywhere on the map, but once they place it, they can’t move it.

[sudden rampart]

@hollow sorrel that is a neat idea we have thought about before

if we were to implement something like that, its likely that the camere location would be a stationary spot that is randomized at the beginning of the game

because the map is not procedurally generated, if there are spots that are much better than others, it'll become automatic to place them there

[hollow sorrel]

Ooh, that’s neat! And yeah, you’re right.

[sudden rampart]

and it'll become the 'meta' for everyone that if you were the hacker to just cover some good spot

[shadow falcon]

Ok now me and @brisk lotus were brainstorming 4 roles

1. mayor

so the mayor can get 1 vote that counts as 2 votes

2. haunter

Haunter is a duck can kill while transform into a ghost so his soul will leave his body and come back to normal

but a medium can kill the haunter if he activate his eyes to see ghosts

but a vigilante and a sheriff cannot kill the haunter(if he is in his spirit form) so the haunter can die 2 ways: getting voted out and can be killed by a meduim

trapper role

he can set traps every meeting....or just once whatever the developers want so he set traps to the tasks and when a goose used that task he is dead

for example

if you do nodes in electric he will get shocked

And if goose organized boxes the boxes will fall on the goose

and if he did test water then he will get burned

not on fire but his skin will burn and die

and 4)

well...it is the assassin that iis all

[shadow falcon]

if you wanna know read this one

[waxen berry]

How about a subrole to Geese or a Duck?

An idea i hust thought of is a twin role, where two other players can tell when the other is alive and when they die, but they can be either goose or duck.

[shadow falcon]

ok

[sudden rampart]

there is a lovers role coming where two people will live and die together. they can still win via normal goose and duck objectives, but theyalsowin if they get to the final 3

[sudden rampart]

i like the idea of someone being missing from voice chat at meetings and roaming the ship.. its an interesting idea

theyd still have the cover of being silenced

[uncut hound]

You mean... an egg role? badumptss

[calm osprey]

A security goose who can imprison a suspect duck for one round x)

[calm osprey]

I want a wholesome cinnamonbun role.... They just go around giving hugs & kisses ^^
But they might have to be interchangeable with ducks, or it's a hard clear x')

[fervent pasture]

uno reverse goose which can switch the spots of 2 geese in a meeting so if they vote for someone you can switch with another dude so the other dude gets voted out

i just want to troll in the game tbh

[crimson ice]

yes

[sudden rampart]

that's an interesting idea, to be able to block/murder... i'd be wary of how unfun it might be for the target of that ability though. it's also another instantly verifiable role, which we're trying to shy away from

[crimson ice]

that would be too op

basically means u can choose whoever you want to be kicked out the ship

[fervent pasture]

yeah i can kick choji out as much as i want like that!

[crimson ice]

lol

[calm osprey]

Yeah if they're actually imprisoned it would suck for the target if it was a long round... So just losing their ability to kill (maybe morph/ vent), would be enough, or otherwise restricting their movements.
Maybe it could work like the morph/ silencer, where the target won't know it happened to them? Maybe they would click the person they wanted to "imprison" during a meeting?

[uncut elbow]

The Uno reverse could be interesting. ESP if the switch decision had to be made during the discussion time and before the voting actually happens.

[fervent pasture]

nah more fun when you know who they voting for in voting time >:)

[uncut elbow]

How about instead of imprisoning the ducks, the security guard could protect someone with an ability much like how the silencer duck can silence someone.

[calm osprey]

That's like the guard role in the among us mods, right?

[uncut elbow]

I’m not sure lol. Haven’t played that mod 🤷‍♀️

[waxen berry]

Sorry, popped into my head while trying to sleep.

Role idea: Mother Duck. This duck has been alive for so long, she can trick or turn a fellow goose into a duck ONCE per game or perhaps once per round. It would transform the goose into a classic duck, but mother duck cannot vent.

Role idea: Twin geese. Two geese or one goose and a duck, are declared twins, and can see if the other twin dies. If both twins are geese, and one dies, the other twin gets a chance to avenge(kill once) his other brother/sister goose. Similar to lover role in mods, if the twins are alive at the end of 3 players, they win.

[shadow falcon]

That is a good idea

[waxen berry]

Sorry, last one for today.

Camo Duck: this duck is trained to kill any geese that he needs to, and from the shadows. When lights are off, maybe it can get an agility boost to run through the dark, or perhaps blend in like an active camo, but not completely invisible. The duck can still be noticed, but it also hides the name of the player so they are not detected. They can vent and sabatoge normally

Rampaging Duck: this duck is out for blood, specificly geese. They have a special ability to kill more than one player in a close range swipe of an attack, wherever the duck is facing. Cannot vent and can kill normally, but could have an extended kill cooldown

[shadow falcon]

Well...either i thought of that or @brisk lotus did for the camo duck

and that rampage duck it is very op

[waxen berry]

Well, they ARE just ideas. Late night brainstorming i suppose

[shadow falcon]

Yea i see you and I aren't so different

🙂

[waxen berry]

Lol

I should probably sleep now XD

[shadow falcon]

Btw they should let rampage duck a higher kill cooldown

Since he kill any close

[waxen berry]

Well, yeah

[shadow falcon]

Ik you said that but still they should like 60 second or 40

But i will say your idea is cooler

Making me quacked my mind

[frail basin]

Taskmaster: Goose who can do other peoples tasks

[shadow falcon]

But he will have a lots and lots of tasks'

[final dock]

Gains one task per meeting?

[shadow falcon]

Maybe

[quaint ridge]

maybe a duck that can only kill in meetings to prevent role claiming

or a duck that can have half the cooldown but can only kill for one of the rounds

[mint gale]

We have a ninja duck idea - Every other kill has no cooldown but has double the standard cooldown

[shadow falcon]

ooo let me be one 🙂

[mint gale]

AN assassin role will come in to play soon

right now on the next patch we have Lovers coming to the game

[shadow falcon]

And though that is a cool ninja idea

hmm hmm

ok

[mint gale]

We'll likely throw in the Mimic and the Spy-Duck next

[shadow falcon]

That good

I cannot wait to see

[mint gale]

Some big changes in the next patch

[shadow falcon]

ooo

A NEXUS

wow

I am excited

[quaint ridge]

A geese that can pick up a vent. Or a duck that can pick up a vent and move it somewhere else but maybe only once are it comes with cd.

[shadow falcon]

You mean if the duck make vent is a vent digger right?

But if they pick vent well...

[quaint ridge]

not really. Like picking one vent up and moving to another location. But I think maybe you can double the role. You can either place or remove and place but only one time

[shadow falcon]

that will go a bit wrong

yea that will be worse for ducks

and maybe mechanic

[quaint ridge]

yea

[shadow falcon]

it is a possible chance

[quaint ridge]

maybe a flashbang that doesnt blind sight but revels the role of everyone in the distance

thats kinda op tho..

[shadow falcon]

that the goose that pick vents will lead ducks to the the group of geese\

yea

[quaint ridge]

maybe for like a second maybe two so if there alot of people group up you cant see well or maybe just being able to see the role of one person

[shadow falcon]

But the person that flashbang sees or?

[quaint ridge]

yeah the person who flashbangs can see the roles but only for a second

so if there is alot of people group up

it be hard to tell who good and who bad

[shadow falcon]

yep

[quaint ridge]

a goose that can see with lights off when clicking a button that prob last for like 10 secs with a cd of 30

[shadow falcon]

but still if it is gonna be a role revealer imma kill this man if he did reveal mine

[quaint ridge]

yeah maybe if you get revealed the person knows you revealed them

so if your good there nothing to worry about but if youre bad...

you got to kill them

[shadow falcon]

yea

But if it is gonna be a bodyguard guarding a revealer that will be bad

[quaint ridge]

yup that would be so broken

[shadow falcon]

well let's just stop

So we don't make it longer

[quaint ridge]

yea lol

my final suggestion for a role cause I ran out would be a goose that can get a zoomed out look of the map too see where dead bodies, players, and venters are on the map. Maybe not the venters but I feel like it should be toggleable between each one the goose can see but yeah thats it im out of ideas it was fun making these tho

[wide dock]

i think a sort of executioner role with thier only win condition, sort of like dodo is a solo win, executioner would have a target and need to get thier target voted out as a means of winning. the challenge with this role is making youself not sus in order to get by other players.

[calm hare]

yep, they hired the guy who made town of us, so any role from that has probably been considered or being worked on i would hazard a guess

[finite oriole]

Idk if it’s been said but a drunk goose? Forgets his role every round and is assigned a new one each meeting. I’d find it funny if an arsonist like role that notices can use his ignite to instantly kill the drunk because of the pure amount of alcohol in its system

And maybe a hero goose, this goose can automatically vote off another player in a meeting, saving the game! The only bad part, is the hero sacrifices himself to do it... or he might have killed a dodo and died in vain... oof

[tall storm]

goose ideas (very awesome)

• Captain: Starts the game with no abilities. After the first meeting, they learn role of everyone in the game. After the first meeting, if they are killed, the game ends and the Ducks win. (If there is only 1 Duck by the end of the first meeting, this role has no effect).
• Monitor: Ability places a bug on a nearby player. They will know when and where (marked on map) that player dies. Additionally, they hear proximity chat from that player. 2 bug charges.
• Detective: Ability allows them to investigate any task and see what players have previously completed that task.
• Convict: If this player is voted out, they will kill the first player who voted against them that round, then get ejected.
• Mallard: Player knows the identity of the Ducks. If a Duck attempts to kill them, player's role will be revealed to them instead. Appears to be a Goose while alive, but will be revealed upon ejection, and will not penalize a Vigilante/Sheriff. Player wins if the Ducks win.
• Linker: Ability causes player to "link" to a nearby player. If the linked player is killed, you will die instead, and learn the identity of their killer. If the linked player is ejected, you will be able to link to another player.

• Examiner: Ability allows them to learn the role of a nearby dead player, and what role killed them. Can only be used twice.

[clever blade]

Sniper Duck that can get one assassination kill during a meeting only if they know the role of a goose. If incorrect then they kill themselves.

[mint gale]

^^^ Already in the works

[plush frost]

Just saying

bugger is like

a bad word in some places

[tall storm]

oh yeah

europeans

[fervent pasture]

• Psychic Goose – Can see vents be used and/or deaths on the map. (just like how the Technician can see sabotages on the map)
• Hypnotist Duck – Can change a goose into a duck once per game.
• Reincarnate Duck or Goose – Once per game, as a ghost, the duck or goose can enter an egg only when a goose does the task “Incubate an Egg”. The camera will then be on the goose carrying the egg, even after the goose dies. When the goose finishes the task “Run a DNA Test”, the Reincarnate Duck or Goose will spawn in front of the DNA tester.
• Necromancer Duck – Once per game, the duck can revive one duck/goose during the meeting. The revived duck/goose will be alive after the meeting but has the role of a Ghoul Duck/Goose.
• Ghoul Duck/Goose – Can only gain this role by being revived by the Necromancer. Once per game, the Ghoul can bite a duck/goose to give them an infection. The infected duck/goose will die after a cooldown time. The lobby host can select how long the infection lasts.
• Healer Goose – Once per game, the goose can turn the Ghoul back into their original role or heal any duck/goose from any infections.

[uncut elbow]

role idea: Virgin Goose. If the VG is sacrificed out of storage, the sacrifice appeases the gods and resets kill cool down

[tall storm]

Poisoner duck who's kills take 5 seconds to kill the target.

[quiet flare]

wip name 2020 duck has the ability to poison people so the next person there hitbox comes in contact with dies immedeatly

[hybrid apex]

Invisible Goose? - Has a 2 time ability of being invisible for ‘x’ seconds.

Mother Goose? - Can test 1 random player to see if they’re a goose. Dodo and Ducks will come up negative obviously.

Father Duck? - Can convert 1 other player into a Duck. Maybe Dodo’s could be immune to this?

Naked Mole Duck? - Can only survive in vents, has a short duration of time it can be on the surface, beyond that countdown of surface time they drop dead.

[short ore]

Because of the issue of people grouping up in games here's a simple role to end that.
Kamakazi Duck - Self destructs taking their own life as well as a set radius with them.
No more grouping making games take forever =w=

[mint gale]

Someone may have leaked our document

this is literally going in soon 🙂

[calm hare]

Reaper Duck, activates after death, can kill other ghosts, forcing them to wait 10 seconds before respawning at a random location

[shadow falcon]

That is good...but what will happen to the ghost that died twice(1 from the duck and 2 for the reaper)

[calm hare]

Doesn't permanently kill teh ghost, just makes them wait a bit before respawning so they can do their tasks

basically it makes ghost tasks take a bit longer to do

the downside i would put in is that they can't call sabotage while dead

[shadow falcon]

ok

[sudden rampart]

I think in general we would probably prefer if ghosts did their tasks more already, and probably don't want to add any more barriers to that

[calm hare]

That is a valid point.

[sudden rampart]

In a social deduction game mode, we have to be careful about abilities that can 100 % clear people, or abilities that can allow players to change teams. It can get unbalanced very easily

[hybrid apex]

Very true, I mean majority of the games I’ve played have taken some tweaking of roles to balance out the games for everyone, I could imagine a lot of the roles suggested by everyone here are of the same caliber when it comes to balancing acts.

[calm hare]

Maybe once a balance is put in place for ghosts not doing tasks something like what i suggested could be a possibility, but i'm just tossing out ideas. It can get very boring being a ghost duck with nothing much to do lol

[hybrid apex]

For example, a conversion Duck that could turn 1 Goose into a Duck could work well in games of 1 duck vs 8 geese or 2 ducks vs 15 geese but clearly won’t work well with 1 v 5 or 4 v 16. Most players work that out with their lobby settings.

[calm hare]

well with that said, one more idea to toss out there, A duck that can change into a ghost for a limited amount of time and pass through walls. They can be seen by and see other ghosts while doing this but not hear ghost chat. Like i said, just spitballing ideas

[hybrid apex]

@calm hare a motivation for Ghosts to finish tasks could be as simple as an option to have the first Ghost to 100% completion may return in the game….

[calm hare]

I see that as being a bit of an imbalance myself, because they could just report the person who killed them, and especially if it was at the end of the game could just end it there

[hybrid apex]

At the end of the day it all depends on the group you play with

1 group may be toxic and vote out the same person everytime

[calm hare]

I would think maybe a coin reward would be a better option myself

[hybrid apex]

Other groups can be super inviting and help beginners I mean it’s all how you play that makes the difference with this game.

[calm hare]

that is true, but i guess we'll see where the future goes, for now i'm off, have a good one

[hybrid apex]

Cya mate!

[sudden rampart]

we're also very mindful of players coming back from the dead, since they have a lot more information than normal. we are planning on reworking the current medium even

[sudden rampart]

and hypothetically, this wouldnt help ghosts complete tasks, only one ghost!

[hybrid apex]

Yeah, I guess every role needs to have a positive and negative effect on the game. I gotta give you guys props to figuring it all out nicely so far!

[hybrid apex]

True, are the current coin rewards taking into consideration the task completions?

[sudden rampart]

You don't get any additional silver for completing tasks, although you can still get the crafting materials

[heady juniper]

Just suggestion, Investigator goose. Can see footprints of people, like from among us mods. But, maybe you make it toggleable with a cooldown. Like thy can only use it after cooldown and it lasts a gud 10-15 sec for a chase if needed. So they would have to use it when necessary like when a body was found and they wanna chase down that person.

[vivid onyx]

Science duck/goose: can teleport anywhere in the map (Including space but if they do so they die, aswell as a cheevo gained) 2 teleports after every meeting, and if they do teleport into space they get the teleportation kill as a special animation of them accidentally dropping the remote, and teleporting them out into space behind a window, just an idea

[sick cloak]

Is the teleport location randomized?

[vivid onyx]

yup

they dont get to choose

so its very risky

[sick cloak]

That’s funny

I love it

[vivid onyx]

but hey, high risk = high reward, right?

[shadow falcon]

oooo interesting

[sick cloak]

here's one

Spy Goose

you press shift once to discretely put a tracker onto another duck/goose and you can press it again to see their point of view for 3 seconds or so

[hasty field]

dog

idk

[robust hedge]

Someone should make a list of all the ideas already mentioned

I only suggest that so we dont have the repeats situation occur that's mentioned on the rules

[mint gale]

We will be doing this soon and pinning it in a channel called: Roles that we're working on 🙂 People can see there and vote on them! More votes = faster to get in the game.

[shadow falcon]

Or you can see where they are if you check the map

that will help if someone suddenly teleport so they could vent

[latent rain]

i like the idea of the spy goose but what if there was a role that could be duck or goose. like the lover, but it is a 1 or 2 time use ability that after you marked another player. you could activate the ability to swap locations with them on the map. could make for some interesting plays if a goose gets it and swaps right before getting killed, or thinks they are about to, and a duck could possibly use it to set up a double kill if they can coordinate with their ally without being caught.

[vocal fulcrum]

swapper duck= making all goose swap role with another goose so like lover become vigilante and sheriff and the duck dont swap role

[wicked comet]

how about a Drunk Goose = the Drunk goose can not see its true role untill a Minute after the Round Starts

[sudden rampart]

so he has a non-drunk role? so really the drunk is kind of a modifier/status effect

[fervent pasture]

An inspector goose: Cannot speak but can inspect someone for their role
basically they can see other people's roles but they can't communicate it meaning that "hey x is being silent" isn't a really valid arguement in the case of an inspector goose

[sudden rampart]

We have an investigator/detective goose in the works.. but his ability is not one that has been mentioned in this channel

[tepid jewel]

Not sure it fits here, but can you show who your Lover Goose is at the start of the game?

[calm osprey]

We like giving them a run for the money, trying to figure out who their lover is ^^ If they haven't found them by the first meeting, they will see them there anyway.
If a lot of people ask for a change it might be considered, but the way it is now is intentional 🙂

[tepid jewel]

maybe it could be togglesble

[sudden rampart]

we prefer you find your lover in the wild!

you're incentivized to run and stay alive and find each other to plot in some corner

[calm osprey]

"meet me in the cargo bay" is a popular one... albeit risky... >.>

[mint gale]

It takes a lot of fun out of it if you know who they are at the start.

[calm hare]

Last time someone agreed to meet me in the cargo bay, 3/5 remaining geese wound up getting vacuumed into space

[calm osprey]

That's their own fault for getting involved in a love triangle

[calm hare]

Except this happened before the lovers were a thing cause the sheriff wanted to have a shootout and I'm not one to be trusted to honor a duel

[calm osprey]

Lmao, that's their fault for trusting you then

[calm hare]

runs away from the role ideas room before getting yelled at...again

[robust hedge]

Dunno of its been mentioned before, but what about an Amnesiac? Kinda like in town of Salem, they can choose a role that a killed/voted out player was. It'd be an interesting twist, but i can see how it could be a problem to gameplay as well.

[sudden rampart]

@robust hedge we're trying to be careful with interactions with ghosts and living players

it requires a lot of fine balancing, and it might be too volatile of a factor to play with, even with the medium

because at the end of the day, in a game of incomplete information, the way ghosts are set up, they can have complete information, which skews things one way or the other

[robust hedge]

Thats fair, thats fair.

Thanks for the info

[stuck torrent]

Been putting some thought into how to stop the "button meta" to hit it just to 'reset cooldowns'. The trick is to not make it too punishing that everyone is scared to push the button, but has just the right amount of advantage gain to the ducks that you don't want to hit it frivolously.

What if we had a duck that gained more power everytime a button was pushed. It could be something like they gain a random power.

Chance of:
-Nothing Happening
-Perm 1 second off their kill cooldown for the rest of the game
-Chance to put their first cooldown to 0 after the meeting.
-Giving them a random power from any other enabled duck roles. (even ones that didn't make it into the round but had the chance to be active)

Obviously reporting a body would not give them any advantages.

But imagine gaining the morphling power, cloning someone, using it, killing infront of everyone and then venting right after, all cause someone hit the button 2 or 3 times to "reset the kill cooldown".

[mint gale]

@stuck torrent we will be adding roles that make meetings more dangerous for the goose who use it to break cooldowns - possibly even adding a better killer after meeting

or even worse; having a tactician duck that can reset cooldowns

[stuck torrent]

Now that's my brand of evil.

[potent wasp]

An idea i have is called the "Duck Spy
it has a longer kill cool down but can place 1 trap and has a radar that allows you to see where people are

and a extra thing you could have is that the radar can sense roles or you have a walky talky that alows you to have a privat com with the other duck

[jolly hinge]

Lawyer: The Lawyer can stop one vote from going through every round (aka if somebody is being voted off they can cancel the vote)

[sudden rampart]

We do have a Spy Duck in the works, but his mechanic works a little differently. He gains information at the meetings, rather than in game

[primal lagoon]

there should be a time master that revers time a couple a seconds and bring back dead people from the grave

[sudden rampart]

Were trying to be careful in considering the strength of abilities that give a connection between the living and the dead. Ghosts can potentially gain complete information, breaking the game if they are brought back

[sudden rampart]

We are definitely considering abilities that are used during meetings. It's a dynamic that's certainly missing from gameplay currently

[deft forge]

how about a hitman duck where when you kill someone you can drag there body and steal there looks

[hasty field]

i second gthis

[sudden rampart]

that's an interesting idea, but wouldn't proximity chat give you away?

[hasty field]

you kill them thoa

Grandpa or grandma role lovers but slowed down but can have a heart attack

XD

[sudden rampart]

i understand that you kill them, but if you were able to take their looks, it would be problematic if you couldn't use voice chat without giving yourself away

[hasty field]

true

[hasty field]

do you like my grandpa or grandma role?

[sudden rampart]

no

lol

[hasty field]

aw

XD

[sudden rampart]

i think having roles that randomly die probably aren't a good design

the fact that they're visibly slower is probably not good either, since you can just confirm their identity by looking at them

[hasty field]

sonny can you shoot me?

[deft forge]

how about a bommer duck role where you can blow up and kill them who is near by

[sudden rampart]

@deft forge something like that is in the pipeline

[deft forge]

oh

[hasty field]

what about a doctor role where you can get reveived but prox chat as ghost is disabled for you for 10 sec if yoou die

[deft forge]

how about a ninja duck that can go inviable by a smoke bomb and you can thorw ninja stars?

[hasty field]

strong

[deft forge]

to op?

[hasty field]

yep

[deft forge]

how about a sniper duck where you can see the hole map and try snip someone?

[hasty field]

not hole map

mayybe 2x bigger

sniper monke

but when you shoot pepole can hear in that radious

[deft forge]

and then they vent

[hasty field]

no venting

[calm osprey]

Try to keep the channel as clean and chat free as possible, that way it's easier for the devs to see the actual ideas
If you guys want to discuss a role further, you can take it to DM's, and post a short summary of your idea here instead ^^

[deft forge]

how about a flash bang duck where you can blind people for 3-5 seconds?

[quiet flare]

let lover geese defend themselve since they have katanas

[hasty field]

katanas ? sus

[deft forge]

how about the flash bang duck role?

[tall storm]

How about a Duck that can sabotage the emergency button that kills the first person to try and use it

[hasty field]

how about it rigged to blow and a automatic sabotage or a new one it explodes and you need to fix the breach if not done in time the door sabatoge happends

[bitter mist]

Chicken role. They can confuse other players xD no one expects a chicken

[shadow falcon]

So should we add a role that is not from a duck nither a goose

like it has it's own win condition like a dodo

[final dock]

New species coming soon = vulture
