Placid Plastic Duck Simulator News

Dear duckies,

Were you expecting more ducks? I bet you were. But did you expect such a cool t-shirt to ever see the light? Impossible. Look at this.




The thing is, this beauty hasn't been released just yet, which means I'm still not walking around flaunting my fine taste in fashion, art, and attitude on life. ːcoolduckː

But together, we can change that! You've got 30 days to snag a t-shirt and ensure the success of the campaign so we can start production and shipping.

Here's the link to the campaign: https://everpress.com/placid-being-placid


(Rest assured, Everpress is a trustworthy website. If we don't meet the goal, all purchases will be canceled, and refunds will be issued. No stress, just how we like it.)

Now onto the new DLC.

The new DLC consists in discovering 27 new ducks and it's called So Many Ducks (almost like the unforgettable song Too Many Ducks).

The release date is in the works, but you know we never stress too much with deadlines and such. When they arrive you'll know it. ːnerdduckː

I once again thank you for supporting the ducks and let me tell you, we have so many things going on right now I wish I could share more. Exciting times ahead. We are going to surprise you.

Dear duckies,

The birthday party event was a success, and we are delighted that so many of you joined us in celebrating one year of Placid Plastic Duck Simulator! ːpartyduckː

Now, it's time to clean up around the pool and return to normalcy.

As we do that, we also want to seize the opportunity to introduce something new—something we promised and something you didn't expect.



1. From now on, as you play in a multiplayer game, you'll be able to spam emojis and let other players know how you feel about that unexpected bump you just received.

Just press the scroll wheel on your mouse and choose the emoji you want. Cool uh? ːcoolduckː



2. Public Lobbies are now a thing. Set it to "public" as you create a room as a host, or click on the magnifying glass when you want to join a room instead. ːsteamhappyː

3. Graphic Settings. Yes, they are here. Set it to low and see how nice the game can be when it's not mining cryptocurrencies. ːmenacingduckː

And that's all for now.

More news, big news, after the month of August. Be ready!

WARNING: OVERLY SENTIMENTAL TEXT BELOW

My dear ducklings,

When we first released the game one year ago, we certainly didn't expect it to receive so much attention. We thought the vision we had was simply too weird to appeal to a vast audience.

We were wrong.

There are many of you, and you understand the spirit of the game very well. Sometimes, you understand it better than us even. You have supported and guided us throughout this whole first year. Every comment, review, screenshot, fan art, fan song, Twitch clip, Discord interaction, and tweet has contributed to the incredible story of this silly game that is not really a game.

PPDS is an indie project we casually dropped in the ocean of Steam as a floating message of love to anyone who would pick it up. And you did pick it up, sending it back to us like a big, sudden wave of love.

Let's recap what that wave has meant:

4 DLCs
2 additional locations
17 new achievements
1 Christmas event
9 special ducks
1 Discord server with 1464 ducks
7,868 reviews
3 console ports
1 open door

Today, we take a moment to celebrate our first year with the ducks!
We do that with 3 new event ducks, a present to show you all our gratitude. Naturally, they won't be available for long, and you must play the game to get them. You can't miss the party.

For you know, if you think about it, this is your birthday too!

NB: graphic settings this month

My dear ducks,

Jetpack your stuff, we are going to space!

Some time ago we received a postcard from cow duck inviting us to pay a visit. So we decided to go take a look, and thought why not bring you all with us? Join us on Hippospace Download.

We are daring a bit more with this third location, and we are eager to hear what you think! We wanted to experiment and slightly complicate things, hence some polishing might be due (beware).

3 new ducks and 4 new achievements await you - only if you are, as you should be by now, patient enough ːcoolduckː

Once again, thank you all for being part of the duck family. New content like this is only possible thanks to your invaluable support.

There's still so much relaxing and chilling to do, rest assured!

My duck friends,

Among the many things we could add to the game (graphic settings, anyone?), we decided to bring you the silliest of them all: the multiplayer!

Have you ever dreamed of being able to select a particular duck and just be it as you float happily with your friends? Now you can! (do nothing with your friends)

A total of 8 people can now join the pool, choose from the collection any duck they have previously unlocked, and hang out together.



Do you all want to pick helicopter duck? Do that and see who is the last one to remain in the pool, for a real Battle Royal experience. Or, get one fire-breathing duck among wood ducks, and the last one to catch on fire wins. The possibilities are endless!

Since testing is still ongoing, this is a BETA, which means:

- only the base location is available
- the door is not active
- errors might occur
- be patient ːmenacingduckː

And that's all for today. A shoutout to all the ducks in the Discord server who read this, you are the best!

More news soon. ːcoolduckː
(yes, graphic settings are also in the works)

QUACK!
