@playCelestial9 Spot on distinction! Staggering creates that natural domino effect rather than just muting the crowd. I like the idea of the flock reading as "slow" over "indifferent." Thanks for the feedback!

[Glare Games @Glare_Game]

Spot on with "duck density"! 🦆 Ducks only react if in line-of-sight & pass a mood roll (~50% chance). To prevent chaos, replies are capped at max 5 ducks at once, even with 50 around you! Thanks for the feedback!

[Celestial9 @playCelestial9]

@Glare_Game one by one means the answer runs as long as the crowd is deep. the same emoji is a single beat in an empty field and a whole queue in a flock, so the fun and annoying versions might just be two different duck densities.

[Glare Games @Glare_Game]

@playCelestial9 Ah, that’s a really fair point about perception! The hard cap makes the 50% roll invisible in big crowds, leaving 45 silent ducks. I’m tuning the system so large groups scale the probability or stagger responses instead. Appreciate the sharp breakdown!

My ducks speak emoji now. 🦆💬

Send one, and the ducks around you answer back with moods of their own — one by one.

Fun or annoying?

@sharkygamesai That would be awesome! Could you send me a DM with your email address? I’ll send you the test build as soon as the new controls are ready. Thanks a lot! 🦆🔥

[Glare Games @Glare_Game]

Added some 'minor' visual effects. Things escalated quickly. 🤷‍♂️🔥🦆

[Glare Games @Glare_Game]

@sharkygamesai No worries at all! If you have any suggestions or ideas for the game, feel free to share them with me. Always open to player feedback! 🦆🔥

[Glare Games @Glare_Game]

@sharkygamesai That’s actually fire from a dragon! 🐲🔥 As for the duck, it leaves a speed trail when moving. Right now in the demo you press Shift, but I got a lot of feedback about the inputs. I’m fixing the controls and updating the demo soon with all these new features! 🦆✨

[Glare Games @Glare_Game]

@HSWorld_EN Thanks! Added the pineapple duck to the list! 🍍🦆

As a solo dev, customization will come post-launch. Right now I’m focusing on map chaos—like trolling humans and escaping dogs! Customization is definitely coming though! 🙌
