Placid Plastic Duck Simulator News

Dear duckies,

It's nice to make friends, sure, but it's nicer when they are ducks because... DUCK POWER! ːcoolduckː

Let it be known that the ducks have teamed up for an overwhelmingly positive bundle of mystery-solving and chill vibes!

Put on your trench coat and quack your way through quirky cases, then swap it for a swimsuit and enjoy some well-deserved relaxation by the pool.

We are excited to be side by side with a fun game like Duck Detective: The Secret Salami. A big thank you to the HAPPY BROCCOLI team for being so friendly and cool!


On a different note, we have another piece of news we'd like to share today. Do any of you have friends who play with the ducks on console? If so, you can officially make yourself the bearer of great news:

the DLC known as So Many Ducks is out on all consoles from today!

Duck friends,

There are many things to cover today!

[h3]New DLC[/h3]

Two DLCs in such a short time?
Yes! We’re thrilled we pulled this off, especially since we're busier than ever working on two more duck games. (If you’re reading this, you already know about them and have added them to your wishlist, right? :menacingduck:)

[h3]Secret Diorama Project[/h3]

Now, let’s talk about something exciting in the physical realm of analog ducks...

The amazing folks at Mojito Studios—a board game producer—approached us with a wild idea: a DUCK DIORAMA called Placid Plastic Duck Studio. Could we say no? Of course not!

While nothing’s set in stone yet, they’ve already made a prototype (with water!), and they’re working on a Kickstarter campaign. If you’d like to help make this incredibly cool thing happen, head over to their presentation page to sign up as an interested backer: https://presale.mojitostudios.com/


The more people we can rally, the more likely it is this feverish vision will become a reality—so spread the word!




[h3]Game Update[/h3]

Finally, we made the PC and console versions more consistent. This is a major update, so expect some differences from the usual build and possibly some minor bugs. If you find something is not working as intended, please use the bug reports section in Steam Discussions.

Known bug: Currently, the multiplayer saves are not working.

Good news is for the occasion, we managed to work on some quality-of-life improvements, such as:

• Controller Compatibility
  
• Revised UI
  
• Improved Performance - Graphics and CPU performance have been optimized
  
• Water Disappearance Bug Fix
  
• Other small things I forgot to take note of
  

We'll keep working to fix and improve what we can.

Until next update!

Boo, scaredy-ducks!

Tomorrow, October 22, you are invited to Infinity Cool...

For the best Halloween party ever conceived!

Some of your favorite ducks have donned their spooky outfits, and if you missed them last year, this is your chance to collect the limited-time Halloween ducks!

Just update the game and join the duckies!

There's even more good news, especially for those of you after one particular duck plushy…

Did you miss Timmy last time and regret it? Then be quick and bind the Witch Duchess to your room forever!

Talk soon for more, less scary news...

Back on my broom!

My dear rooftop dwellers,

Big news! The "Rooftop 1%" DLC is officially live!

Ascend to new heights with this luxurious expansion, where only the finest vibes await. We're talking high-altitude relaxation with panoramic views and an exclusive array of ducks that know what it means to be part of the 1%.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/3223500/Placid_Plastic_Duck__Rooftop_One_Percent/

This isn’t just another DLC—it’s your golden ticket to the penthouse of the duck world. Picture your ducks lounging by sleek rooftop pools, mingling with only the most elite plastic companions in town.

And because it’s been a while since our last DLC (not to mention a whole new location!), we’ve upped the ante with more than the usual 3 special ducks! That’s right—this rooftop brings even more flair and style to your serene plastic duck collection.

So join the ducks and let them bask in their rooftop paradise, living their best lives—until we discover the next peak to conquer.

NB: tell your envious console friend new content will be up for grabs by the end of the year

My dear duckies,

It's been a few months since we last published news here. This was not a forgetful silence—rest assured, you've been in our minds ever since we posted the first announcement in 2022. Rather, it was a "calm before the storm" kind of silence. We've been busy, very busy, and to be honest, we'll be busy for a little longer.

And yet, we've never been so happy to be this busy because we are working on a new, unexpected ducky-deck game!

If you consider that good news, hold on to your chair because today is the day you can watch the announcement trailer of Placid Plastic Deck - A Quiet Quest!

Go to our brand new Steam page and push that “Add to Wishlist” button.

Did you ever dream of a world where ducks rule the card tables? Where you collect duck cards? Where ducks talk to you?

As the nice flock of duck aficionados we all are, we can make dreams come true.

Together!
