Eight Player Multiplayer

  • Duck Game now supports up to 8 Players

  • Added eight player versions of a number of levels

  • Added 'Eight Player' object to level editor which can be placed to designate a level as an eight player level

  • Creating a game via invite now automatically supports up to 8 players

Spectator Mode

  • New Spectator feature!

  • Games can support up to 4 spectators in addition to the new 8 player limit

  • Spectators get to wiggle around at the spectator table and drink their favourite beverages

  • Added Melon Soda for spectators

  • Spectator names appear purple in chat and connection windows

  • Spectator duck color can be changed by holding strafe and pressing ragdoll

  • You can now host a "dedicated" server, allowing a game to be passively hosted and watched without a present player

New Maps

  • Lots and lots of new maps

New Weapons & Equipment

  • Added Duct Tape - Now you can tape two weapons together!

  • Added The Dandylion - You’ll shoot your eye out, kid!

  • Added Camping Rifle - Trap enemy ducks in a cozy sleeping bag

  • Added Energy Scimitar - It’s a laser sword, but cooler

  • Added Pokeyhead - Pierce enemies and items from below with this handy new hat!

  • Added Powered Holster

Added Hats from Switch Version

  • Wahhs, Postals, Kerchiefs, UUFOs, B52s, Zeros,Clams, Bigearls, Toeboys, Waffles, and Diplomats, a top hat with 270 flags to choose from to use as a cape

Improved Mod / Custom Content Support:

  • Custom hats can now be loaded from PNG files in the game directory

  • Hats now support metadata (put an extra line of pixels to the right side of your hat- A 32x32 hat becomes 33x32, 64x32 -> 65x32, etc.)

  • The Red value of the pixel determines what type of metadata it is. Currently supported is HatIsTail(R = 0), and Offset(R = 1, G = 128 - X, R = 128 - Y) (128, 128 means zero offset)

  • Custom rocks are now supported:

  • If you make your custom hat texture 24 pixels higher (32x32 -> 32x56 for example), then the bottomLeft 24x24 pixels will be read as a custom rock.

  • Added support for viewing mod exception stack traces through mod browser

  • You should now be able to play levels with local mods online

  • Levels with mods containing workshop ID's will no longer be considered levels with 'local' mods, even if the mods are located locally

  • Improved mod crash detection

  • Mod.Debug.Log should no longer severely lag game when debugger is attached

  • The steamprofiles and invitelinks mods by eim64 are now autodisabled on startup to prevent crashes due to changed UI code because these mods have been implemented officially!

  • Levels from a mods’ Content/Levels folder are now shown in the level browser

  • Mod content load errors will now be shown, and miods with content load errors will now appear
