Goose Goose Duck News

- 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:

Various bugfixes and Optimizations

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!

- Brand new jungle temple map with new game mechanics, new death stingers, new sabotages and new tasks
- Account linking is now live
- New cosmetics
- Upcoming new map specific roles
- Friend List optimizations
- Bug fixes and other optimizations

We had our first ever developer update last week, and we plan on having more. It'll likely be once a month, although we might just switch to zoom or discord for convenience. We covered quite a bit, with the most pressing and important being that we added a cosmetic to support humanitarian efforts in Ukraine.

We've generally been against adding flag cosmetics into the game, but we decided to make an exception here. All the proceeds we make from purchases of the cosmetic will go towards https://www.donbasssos.org/ , a local humanitarian organization in Ukraine that focuses on helping Ukrainian citizens displaced by the conflict in the Donbass region.

The VOD can be found here: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1415447336 , but a quick summary of some of the talking points.

A quick refresher on what we have done recently, which included the Demolitionist and Dueling Dodo roles. The core friend system was implemented, with additional functionality coming soon. You'll be able to request to join a friend's game, as well as the ability to block

Our next update that should be coming soon will contain the new Jungle themed map, which will have new mechanics and new map-specific roles.
We have a comic detailing some of the backstory and lore as well of peetato and pootato.

We also gave a sneak peek of the Desert themed map we have planned after the Jungle theme

as well as a new fishing lobby area


Other things we talked about adding soon are the ability to link accounts, our moving of game logic to servers to have faster games and to eliminate the ability to cheat, the addition of unique and tradeable cosmetics, and new achievements and player cards, and a general Q&A.
We capped it off with a giveaway of the new St Patrick's Day cosmetics.
