Goose Goose Duck News

Version number updates usually mean big changes incoming! There is a lot to note for this one.
Goose Goose Duck is turning 4 this year! Over the years, the team has been adding A LOT of content: 12 maps, 10 gamemodes, over 70 roles, and of course a TON of cosmetics to collect! Not only is that a lot of content but a lot of behind-the-scenes work as well, so it's good to go back once in a while and tidy things up a little to be able to keep adding content with as few hiccups as possible. In addition to the code rework, let's discuss some of the notable additions.

DISCLAIMER: With major code reworks, bugs and unintended features may turn up despite the amount of rigorous testing the amazing beta testers perform. If you experience a bug or unintended feature, please report them using the in-game bug report section found in Settings or fill out an online ticket form.

[h2]Tutorial[/h2]The tutorial section has been updated! We've improved the appearance as well as updated the Goose and Duck Tutorials to help explain how to play.


[h2]In-Game HUD[/h2]
Updated the In-Game HUD visually; combining the role indicator with the duties list. The role indicator now acts as a button to quickly open information regarding your current role. With that additional space at the top of the screen, what should we do with it?

[h2]In-Game Notifications[/h2]
For too long have notifications of all kinds had been placed in the same location, sometimes covering each other up. Now the Celebrity Death, Flight Points collected, Intercom Usage, Medium Ability, and Goose Hunt Death alerts appear at the top of the screen so that they don't interfere with each other and you can be well informed.


[h2]Audio Input: Push to Mute[/h2]
Similar to Push to Talk, Push to Mute is simply that - push to mute. An alternative to having to toggle the Mute key. It mutes your mic on press and unmutes on release.


[h2]Pet of the Week Icon[/h2]
The community talked, we listened. Now within the collections pet tab, we've added a calendar icon to indicate which pet is Pet of the Week.
