Fall Guys Dev Tracker

I get defensive when people are either personally criticising me, or criticising my work. You're literally saying I should be fired, am I just supposed to say thank you for the feedback.

I don't know why you're all downvoting me for saying that shadow banning isn't a thing?

Am I just being downvoted on every post because of HH?

I know you're joking but it probably is a harder bug to fix, it doesn't affect the in-game economy, and it's not affecting 100% of players - so it's probably not something that will be fixed immediately

Please make a support ticket though - we use the number of reports to help us prioritise bugs

This isn't true, there are bugs with reporting - but nobody gets shadowbanned from reporting - that's not a thing.

It sounds like your reporting is bugged though, please get in touch with support so they can get your logs and find out what's going wrong!

It was in response to critique about how the account is run - I was saying the number of followers is proof that even if some people don't like it, it's not run badly

Very true, I notice in a lot of these threads there are lots of past grievances too

Hopefully, things will improve as the team continues to grow and we slowly move towards patching out all of the legacy issues

I hope we'll be able to get back to shorter seasons too - I think things are worse as the season has been particularly long this time around - we really need some new levels and content. I can't wait for Season 5!

Here's the thread:

It was actually a response to a tweet from my personal account where I asked for film recommendations while I was on holiday. I didn't really intend for it to be screenshot and posted here.

Also it was in response to someone complaining that we "promised to fix desync with season 4.5" which is just flat out untrue.

Unless somebody invents a new internet that is actually INSTANT globally, there will always be a problem of desync and lag in EVERY video game.

There's not one single video game that has no lag or desync because the internet itself has ping, load time, and isn't instant.

We'll never fix this problem entirely, and we've never said that.

We say we'll keep making improvements, and we will keep doing that - we have people constantly working on these issues. So, hopefully, they'll keep getting better over time, but they'll never go away completely - and we've never promised that.

I pass everything along to the Devs that the community is saying. I don't decide myself when to post updates about the new season - that's always a collaboration with the marketing and publishing teams. Do you really think I wouldn't tweet the date of a new season or show videos of the new content if I was able to?

I generally rely on posting memes and things to reach a new audience and keep things ticking between seasons.

Season 4 has been super long, and bugs take a while to fix, so there's not as much updates and news as I imagine it would seem

I'm really not trying to brag when I say this also, but the fall guys twitter account is much bigger than many other games - even games with way more players than Fall Guys. Yes, I post differently to other game accounts - but that's worked on super well for us and is intentional

I usually answer that way when people try to give advice on how I should be running the twitter or specifically criticise something we've done as a marketing beat

I try to explain the reason why we do things, even if it's something they don't like. Isn't it better to try and give context rather than just "okay, thanks for letting us know you don't like it"... Or is that a better approach?

Sorry that was meant to be in reference to why I didn't tweet about the bug - and then didn't tweet about the fix. Tweeting about it would amplify the problem beyond the relatively smaller core audience on Reddit + Discord.

I often see people say that I should tweet more about bugs and what we're working on - I fully get that opinion - but from a marketing perspective, it's just not that great to keep tweeting about issues - especially when they take a while to fix and the only update is 'we are still working on it'. We post update threads on this Reddit when there's news and keep a public issues trello updated when things change for fans who want to follow that - but the Twitter is meant to be more focused on the game content and more appealing to a wider range of people.

With this final, I fully get that people dislike that in the end it comes down to luck because your progression through the "race" is limited by the hoverboard itself. I understand why people ar...

I asked the designers and they said that the intention behind the show was that it would be more competitive and encourage players to get a bit grabby - rather than it be passive and come down to luck at the end.

Obviously, it sounds like it's not panned out that way, and people aren't enjoying that. I promise I've passed the feedback along though, and I'm sure they'll address it if the show returns in the future.

They see the limited-time shows as a chance to try out new things and experiment more. They're only there for a little while so if people don't like them, it's okay because they get replaced and they can be changed the next time they return.

"in one thread you say that it was actually meant to be 1 winner in the final" - This is true

"now you're saying that it was only fix you had time to do?" - This is also true. The 'fix' was to make it so it was only 1 winner in the final, like it was supposed to be.

I'm glad you enjoyed the tweets previously, and sad to hear you don't anymore.

Awesome to hear you platinumed

Very sad to hear you've uninstalled, hopefully one day you'll give us another chance

I don't know what you mean by not understanding the community. I've passed all this feedback along to the devs. It's fairly clear what the majority of people here are thinking, and I've definitely seen, understood, and passed it along. I don't design the shows myself and aren't able to implement changes.
