Pardon our dust everyone!
Things might get a little spicy as US gets online but we've been up since 4am working on these issues and are working as fast as possible to keep things smooth!

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!
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.
Read moreGlad to hear you’re doing everything you can. As a dev myself I understand the challenges, though I do stand by my criticism of not being able to properly support you lads.
Is there no way players can contribute to you monetarily outside of the item shop or buying the steam version? I want this game to succeed, but I’m worried that without a constant stream of new levels, skins, etc. the game could suffer. Money runs the show after all. Especially after Epic and IF - though massive companies - have set the standard for BR games. I know your team/business is not as big as theirs, but players won’t see it this way. They’ll expect your game to compete on a content stream level, but I’m sure you already know this.
Would love to be able to “buy” the game on PS4 too or support through a BP system. You’ll get money out of me through skins guaranteed, but that depends on when things release..
Apologies if my criticism came across as too harsh, as someone in the fiel...
Not all! People on reddit don't f*ck about with their opinions and frankly I wouldn't want them to! It's great to have a community that are so passionate about the game and you can't have the praise without the criticism it brings. You're also totally right that players don't really care WHO is making their game, they just want the best content immediately. It's a scary place to be in for sure.
We know that Fall Guys relies on novelty and content to keep people interested, and the team are flat out making new content to make sure we've got exciting new things for them to play. Some of things are straightforward (new maps, new skins), but some are much harder and put us into completely new territory (how the f*ck do we even go about making a level editor and curating content for a 60 player game?!). We'll have plenty of stuff coming out over the next few weeks to help players support the game, but the best thing to do is just sharing the game you know and talking about your ...
Read morePay the IT guys a little extra after those long shifts they are doing right now ;)
A lot of the team have been up since 4am, and there's no end in sight right now!
EA have never in my life had a successful opening weekend of FIFA and they're EA, these lads are probably shitting themselves lol. Siege had issues for ages, Fortnite was a mess for a few days and like I said big sports games are always effed for almost the entire opening weekend. These are some of the most popular multiplayer games out there.
We got it for free (PS4) players, or for less than 20 on steam, patience is a virtue and from the looks of it, it's worth the wait.
This is a much appreciated message, I can tell you :D
We've done everything we can to prepare ourselves for this but things simply go wrong in unpredictable ways when you hit this capacity. There is simply no substitute for real players and we're working through the issues as fast as we can.
Literally won a game the first game I played and my rewards still have not came in.... ughhhh
Rewards are coming! Our reward processing is backed up in a way we've never seen before from our betas/scale tests. If you play you WILL get your rewards, just not instantly.
I think its a strategy many companies have to let the first day sales of the game and premium currencies fund their server costs. it sucks because there is an honest way to go about that, but feigning surprise is not it.
nobody get me wrong i love this game.
As a developer on the title I can promise you this is NOT what we're doing. There's nothing better as a strategy than having as many people playing and enjoying your game, and that's absolutely what we're trying to do right now!
Read morePopular game is preparing to launch -> run multiple beta tests -> lots of viewers on Twitch, plenty of WoM excitement -> many players expected to play -> servers still can’t handle the numbers
As someone who works in development, I really wish by now studios releasing popular games would stop giving the excuse, “We didn’t expect so many of you to play!” or “Wow we didn’t expect this surge!” Yes, yes you did, marketing and product have been providing you with analytics for months.
Just give us realistic expectations for when the servers will actually perform as intended or delay the game until your backend can handle the surge. It tarnishes launch day excitement so much and I’d much rather pay £20/$20 or whatever it is to support the devs and help them bolster their architecture than get a free game riddled with server issues. I will gladly help fund the game because it’s amazing and I want it to succeed, but these server issues and the lack of “25 maps” as we were t...
We've run scale tests of hundreds of thousands of users to try and plan for this, and done everything we possibly can to simulate our launch day and give ourselves confidence in launch.
Unfortunately nothing can ultimately prepare you for real users all over the world all installing and launching the game at the same time- this is why you see even the largest companies struggling at launch. We're a relatively small indie studio compared to EA, Blizzard etc. and we're doing everything we can at this point!
Does this game only start when theres 60 players? That kinda sucks I wont lie
Nope! It can start with anywhere above 40 but it looks like sometimes matchmaking can get confused if other matchmade players quit. We're looking into it!
By uncharted territory, do you mean on console like ps4 or what?
I mean we've had a quarter of a million players play the game already!!!!
Hey all!
We're working overtime to address these issues- we blew through our highest predictions in the first few hours of being live and are in uncharted territory as a studio now. We appreciate the frustration here as we've been hyping launch up, but hopefully things should be back to normal pretty soon.
Regarding lag input, make sure your TV is set to 'game mode'! We're also looking into this as a team right now as it's worse than expected- some last minute performance fixes haven't had the effect we hoped they'd have.
This is one of the first times I’ve ever seen someone reply to a devs comment with feedback and the dev responded to confirm they actually read it. I know there is way too much for you to ever go through everything but this means a lot to me as well I’m sure manny others as well. Thank you! Today is a big day I’m sure and many people are enjoying your game. Congratulations!
Thanks, means a lot! I'm trying to read everything I can :D
It's tough, I love reddit but people really don't hold back on here, so you've got to develop a thick skin pretty quickly. It's also tough to read feedback that you already know to be true but had to cut due to time constraints!
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.
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!
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.
