Goose Goose Duck News

New map added: The Basement. It has various new features, including new sabotages, one-way peepholes, and locations where you dispose of bodies.

The Sacrificial bell is a new sabotage that forces players to vote someone out. If players skip, or there are equal votes, the bell will randomly choose a non-duck to eject instead.
The Clairvoyance sabotage allows ducks to see the location of every player.
The Telepathy sabotage allows ducks to communicate with one another over voice chat. Be careful that you aren't overheard!

New roles:

Invisible duck - Go invisible for a few seconds. You won't be seen, but you can't see others either. You can hear other players, and they can hear you if you speak.
Astral Goose - Astral project your spirit through walls to watch and listen to other players.
Pelican - Eat others whole, but they do not die until a meeting is called.
Esper Goose - You automatically block the Clairvoyance and Telepathy sabotages in the basement. Ducks will see your location if a sabotage is blocked. Start running!

Various bug fixes and optimizations
Extra security stuff. We have added some covert features that will help us get rid of players who only troll and grief others. Thank you for your patience.

- Big server upgrades
- New Daily Reward system
- New EXP system
- New Player Banners and Cards
- New achievements
- Server optimizations and various bug fixes

We went into more detail in DevLog Update Stream 3 (which can be found here: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1477068925) but this update is a big change, so we thank everyone for their patience. The game was effectively rebuilt from the ground up over the course of a month and a half. Some of the practical differences to players will be:

- Latency will almost be effectively halved for everyone.
- Many bug fixes and game balancing updates can be done without needing to update the client.
- Security will be increased for everyone.
- Sets the stage for other updates like opening proximity chat to public games, controller support, etc.

In DevLog 3, we also covered our upcoming basement map. You can find the trailer here:

Last Friday we also had our second devlog stream, which can be found here: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1443502794

As always, we hosted a giveaway, as well as covering what we've done recently like the Jungle Map , the konami code upside down April Fool's Day joke, our Canadian Game Awards nominations, and the first donation to the Donbass SOS Ukrainian humanitarian group.



In terms of future content, we talk about the five roles that we are releasing in this patch. We talk about the upcoming basement map, some of our design principles in map design. Lorewise, it's the basement of mallard manor, and as with all new maps will have its own unique mechanics!

the simplification of our currency system and materials going forward, and the plushies we'll be selling soon!
