Hey all!
Joe here, I'm the lead designer on Fall Guys and am going to be dipping in to try and answer questions on launch day. Hope you're all enjoying the game!

Hey Joe, can we get a sliding option so we can dive down slopes and slide to the bottom instead of stopping halfway?

This is actually something we had to cut at the last minute due to complexity! I'd love to bring it back in some way but we still need to make sure that jump at the end of Gate Crash is possible :D

Will you be adding the option to customise the PS4 controller layout? I would love to move the jump and dive controls onto the bumpers.

This got cut last minute- due to some nasty bugs. Coming soon!

Hey Joe! What a wonderful game!

I know people have asked about making community “workshop maps”. Its clear the team takes great care in creating your levels and making an editor might be a large amount of work. Has there been any discussion of workshop support?

Just playing new workshop levels 1v1 or 2v2 against my friends would be extremely fun!

We're discussing it a bit but it's a huge undertaking- we just use Unity to build our levels so it's not like there's a tool we can just sent to players unfortunately. There are also lots of complexities around things like curating that content, figuring out how to surface the best stuff, etc so we'll likely be working on it for a while (if we choose to start it) it's a really exciting idea though and I'd love to do it one day.

Would love the game. If it wasnt the worst game ive played on release day in recent times. Worst server issues ever. To the point im at getting a refund. Online only game that you cant play is a scam.

Sorry to hear that! Servers are coming back online now.

Hey Joe! Fantastic work to you and the team!

I was wondering, has there been any consideration for offering a static cam in high-interest areas for spectating? I'd love to watch everybody miss the last jump or get thrown down a cliff while I wait! Otherwise it can get quite tiring switching cam from player to player hoping they'll do something funny!

Can't wait to jump back in after work today!

Yes! We talked about this a lot to try and imitate a more 'gameshow' camera angle. Would love to get it back in at some point.

Hey, any chance in the future to increase party size higher than 4? Was hoping to play with large squads of friends!

I think possibly, yeah! We just have to be careful because we don't want large groups pubstoming too hard or being able to grief other players. Plus for every play we add the complexity of the feature grows, so we have to balance this with the urgency of other features.

Hi Joe, the game is silly fun. Can we please get an invert y-axis option on PS4 though?

We're working on it today. Coming very soon!

Hi u/FallGuysJoe any chance cross play will arrive? Any time frame if so?

Can confirm we're definitely looking to bring cross play to platforms but it's a pretty complex chunk of work. Having players join games together etc. is actually not too hard, but it's all the other stuff that comes with it; inviting cross platform, reporting cross platform, etc. That's where all the work is so we can't give a time frame at this point.

Colorblind options?

Its very hard for me to know what team im on, orange or red. When jinx is involved its impossible to see.

We need a green team not orange

Hey! We ran out of time to get these in and it SUCKS because we have a lot of members of the team who are colour blind too. We're working on it but it might be a while as we need to figure out how to change the colours of parts of the level as well as the costumes.

How regular is new content going to be?

Seasons system?

WE have seasonal content drops but we have other things we want to release too. Can't talk about timings right now as so much is in flux!

Hi Joe, not sure whether you'll still be answering these, but there have been people in game with different coloured names, could you shed any light on what these mean? TYIA

Hey! yeah I'm still here!
People have figured out that you can have rich text in that part of the game using some clever steam names. Will be fixed soon!

There is no way for me to change Y Axis inversion which will make it super difficult, if not nearly impossible to play.

I understand there might be a hotfix, but how soon? I may not be able to play until it is added and that breaks my heart.

u/FallGuysJoe

I'm really sorry this is an issue! I can't give you an exact time frame but I would hope that within the next few days we can get something out.

As a fellow inverted player this sucks. You telling me there isnt a single inverted player on the dev team to point it out

It's more that we had a bunch of nasty last minute issues crop up with controller issues and we had to make a tough decision to remove control customization from the game. It will be back soon, I promise, but in the last few days of development you have to make really nasty calls like this. I'm really sorry it's affecting your ability to play the game!

It's weird because it's an option on the PC version but not on PS4. Same with the input delay on jump, only on PS4.

We believe that input lag is tied to performance rather than platform. We're looking into it!

Thanks for answering questions! Can you tell us if there is skill based matchmaking? I don't want to play too much and give my friends a difficult introduction!

Hi! there is some slight skill based matchmaking yes, but not to the extent of competitive games. You should be fine to get some games in!

Hello Joe, is there any tips to recover from slowly rolling rag doll style from the seesaw when you jump and don’t land correctly but you have a pretty long way down so you roll for a very long time? (Sorry english is not my first language). I understand some physic is involved but I felt like I could get back up a lot more often during the technical beta. Thanks a lot.

Use the dive before you land! it's a bit of a hack but it can stop you ragdolling so much. This stays a secret between me and you though, yeah?

Will there be controller options for the PS4 implemented soon?

Yes, hopefully pretty soon

Hey, Joe. I love the game so far. Are there any plans to add camera settings to the game? There currently is not way to invert the x or y axes, which some folks would appreciate. As someone who plays games with an inverted y-axis, some of the challenges can be a bit awkward if camera movement is required.

Yes! Coming very soon, hopefully in our first hotfix

Hi Joe,

I was thinking of getting the game, I have a sizeable group of friends but I was reading that parties are of 4 max and the rest is play with randoms, is there gonna be in the future any kind of custom room where we can play with friends even if they are in different parties?

We're talking about it but I can't guarantee we'll have it soon I'm afraid!

Hey,

Please consider removing the trophy "Infallible" from the game. It is by far the most ridiculous, insane, borderline impossible trophy I have ever seen, and I assure you that no PlayStation gamer likes the fact that there is a basically impossible to obtain trophy in the trophy list. The people who aren't interested in trophies won't care, but with stuff like this you lose the majority of trophy hunters (a very sizeable community on PlayStation), and many have already rejected playing this game on forums since it adds yet another impossible-to-platinum game to their trophy list. Pretty dumb way to lose players, so I hope you see the light and talk to Sony about changing the trophy list and removing this from the game. If not, that's cool, but basically I thought I'd let you know that putting impossible trophies is really disliked in the PlayStation community. If it was 2, even 3 in a row that would be challenging but fair. 5 is just a spit in the face of trophy hunters, basically saying you will never get that platinum. You have to come out on top of 60 players on 5 different occasions, and assuming everyone has an equal skill level, that's a 1/777600000 chance of getting 5 Episode victories in a row. Now I hope you understand what I mean when I'm critiquing this trophy. Thank you for reading this all the way.

We hear ya!
I can openly say that we didn't realise people felt so strongly about Playstation trophies, but we've seen people achieving it already! We'll keep an eye on things for sure but we're not planning to change it as of right now.
Down the line there are likely going to be slightly easier ways to achieve a 'win' too, so all is not lost!
