Goose Goose Duck News

[p]We're heading to PAX West 2025! Come by the booth, meet some of the team, and see what we’ve been working on.[/p][p][/p][p]PAX West 2025 takes place August 29 – September 1 at the Seattle Convention Center. We will be located at booth 341![/p]

[p][/p][h2]Hello everyone,[/h2][p]Over the past few days, we've seen extensive discussion about the latest meeting revamp. Your thoughtful feedback, passionate discussions, and creative suggestions haven't gone unnoticed. At Gaggle Studios, community input has always been the cornerstone of our development philosophy.[/p][h2]Immediate Changes[/h2][p]We're thrilled to announce that we've already implemented several changes based directly on your feedback:[/p]

• [p]Reverted Player Position: Players now stand within their player banner, similar to how they were before the revamp.[/p]
• [p]Corpse Found: Reduced the amount of caution tape placed on reported corpses. Corresponding with the Reporter's Megaphone.[/p]
• [p]Default Player Banners: Players without banners are assigned a blank banner based on the theme of the map rather than based off the players colour.[/p]
• [p]"Hide Vote Banners" Setting: Shows all players with default player banners.[/p]
• [p]X Marks the Spot (less): X indicating dead players has been darkened and made smaller.[/p]
• [p]No more ghosts: Reverted back to dead players being greyed out with a red X. This is to preserve outfits to help identify someone you may have encountered during the round.[/p]
• [p]Voted... Check!: Repositioned and enhanced the checkmark indicating player has voted over the player banner for quickly identifying who voted and who hasn't.[/p]

[p][/p][h2]Bug Fixes and Optimizations:[/h2]

• [p]Fixed: Issues surrounding Jungle Temple and the calling of meetings.[/p]
• [p]Fixed: Spy misidentifying Mimic as a Duck. If the Spy uses their ability on the Mimic, the Mimic will be identified as a Mimic in the next meeting to the Spy.[/p]
• [p]Fixed: Serial Killer target arrow. Serial Killer's target arrow no longer disappear during a (Pelican/Falcon) hunt.[/p]

[p][/p][h3]"We Need to Talk!", "Avian Corpse Reported!"[/h3][p]Whether you're reporting a corpse or just calling a meeting because you've missed seeing everyone's beak, meetings play a vital role in discovering who's good, who's bad, and who just wants to be voted out! Over the lifetime of Goose Goose Duck, more and more information has been added to the meeting screen, such as:[/p]

• [p]Assassin: Taking out another avian (or themselves) during the meeting.[/p]
• [p]Clown: Making players POP during the meeting.[/p]
• [p]Party/Clown, Silencer, Fortune Teller: Displaying their mark(s) in the meeting.[/p]
• [p]Various ability trackers such as the Lobbyist vote counter.[/p]

[p]To help track all this information, the meeting screen has been completely revamped to not only display all existing information in a more readable fashion but also prepare for any new features we may add in the future!

• [p]Chat View: Expands the chat window for those intense discussions.[/p]
