Fall Guys Dev Tracker

Each season will have it's own theme yeah - and the new rounds in those styles will be part of the overall pool of rounds. So every time we do a season there'll be more and more variety not just in game-play but in visuals too!

Each season will also have its own reward path with new themed costumes, emotes etc. to collect :)

We'd love to get Craig on board!

From a purely engineering perspective, it's been the networking. It turns out making a physics oriented game with 60 players is actually quite an undertaking!

Every level / obstacle has been a case of figuring out exactly how efficiently we can relay information to clients to maintain good server performance / networking throughput whilst providing a fun and responsive user experience.

Levels are often iterated on multiple times to improve performance over the course of their lifetime, and finding the perfect balance between design and engineering has been a fun and interesting challenge!

Some levels have been much more difficult than others (I'm looking at you Egg Scramble 😠 ) But it's been a fantastic challenge and we are constantly improving the experience however we can!

Sony were really enthusiastic about the game when we showed them an early version of it, and we felt that taking this route would help expose the game to a far larger audience than we could have reached on our own. Also, it's something that worked super well for Rocket League which has been one of our inspirations.

For me it's been designing rounds that are really fun for 60 players! We've tried a lot that just don't work at the maximum player count - for example, the first iteration of FallBall, the football round, was a full on 30v30 round, and meant that the majority of players would win or lose without ever having touched the ball. Ensuring that all players feel involved at this scale has been tricky but I'm really proud of the rounds we've got in there so far!

Awesome question - I'll copy and paste u/FallGuysJoe's answer from a blog post he wrote earlier this year:

1. 60 players creates the perfect amount of chaos. When we first started working on Fall Guys we had to ballpark our player count based purely on what felt right to us, and 100 players became this talismanic number we decided to aim for. “100 players, 1 winner“ instantly gives players a sense of the mayhem they’re going to deal with, and two years ago was the standard for all Battle Royale titles (Fall Guys isn’t a battle royale per sé, but when explaining the game for the first time it helps to draw those parallels).

Once we started prototyping gameplay we quickly we found that players couldn’t really tell the difference between 50 and 100 contestants. ...

We will have trophies and they're in a variety of difficulties - from giving someone a hug, to winning several shows in a row!

I welcome the Takeshi's Castle X Robot Wars X Fall Guys crossover the world deserves.

Thank you! The support from the Fall Guys community (wow, that's a thing) has been amazing and mindblowing so far, and we haven't even released the game yet. Everyone in the dev team has put alot of hard work into this game and to see so many people enjoying is really quite an emotional thing!

We're still working out the specifics of how this will be awarded on a technical level. If you took part in a beta test, we'll find a way to get it to you though!

Definitely Wolf :@

I don't think there is currently, but we made a bunch of "design your own fall guy" printouts a year ago and mine was a slice of pizza, so we can only hope! 🍕❤

We'd love to release on other platforms one day! For now, we're a timed console exclusive with PlayStation!

Yes - 1000%. If you follow us on Twitter and Discord, you'll see that we're always listening to our fans and chatting about everything. Our fanbase is super positive and wholesome - we're very active within it! We also have huge plans for this game's future... and it's future's future!

You can team up with 3 of your friends and matchmake as a team of 4 Fall Guys! When you played team games, the matchmaker will try to put your squad all on the same team where possible. If you get eliminated, you're eliminated solo - you don't qualify as a squad. Only one person can win in the final rounds though, so you will have to turn against your squad!

We tried alot of things! For example, we had a level that was based on Minesweeper, where you had to move slowly across an arena that had several mines embedded in the ground. If you walked near one, a siren would light up above your head, and if you triggered the mine, the floor would explode and send you into the sky. We cut it because it wasn't that fun to be constantly blown into the sky (though it does sound fun, and there was a hilarious bug where your Fall Guy would be blown into the sky forever and never fall down...) and required players to move very slowly to creep around the minefield, which the theme didn't quite fit - it felt more like a scene from Saving Private Ryan than a Fall Guys round!

Hypothetically, having not thought about it before, I think they would have a rubbery exterior that tastes like nothing, but the inside would be similar to a jelly baby and be so delicious that you wouldn't be able to stop at just one...

hypothetically.

I've only ever won the game once lol. It was on Fall Mountain. So naturally, I love that one.

I don't get to the finals super often, so when I do, I'm at my happiest.

Most frustrating round for me is See Saw though - I love the round... but I feel like most people don't understand how See Saws work lol.

For my hair I use Umberto Giannini products - they're all pink and say women's hair all over them, but it's a conspiracy, don't let it hold you back.

Thanks, I will DM you your key now

Will Oliver eventually be a skin in the game? We need that luxurious mane

If the people ask for it enough, anything is possible! It is a magnificent mane that many of us envy on a daily basis, and it would be amazing to do a diving header in Fall Ball with the power of the mane behind it.
