We've been trying to scale everything up but the number of players is still rocketing upwards!

Rather than struggling to keep up... we're going to switch off matchmaking while we scale up and optimise.

We'll be posting updates in our discord and on twitter:

Thanks everyone!

Congrats and good luck! Any chance we get bigger party sizes in the future? Thanks!

hi! So we have to be careful because a) we don't want parties pub-stomping matchmaking, and b) large parties can grief and do all sorts of things we don't expect (blocking finish lines etc.) It's frustrating but with this type of thing you really have to think of the worst case scenario and work backwards from there.

That said, I could see us upping the party size slightly one day. It's probably not our highest priority feature but it's definitely something we'll be looking into once launch settles down!

Maybe tether the teams together

haha we actually tried this early on and it was a complete nightmare. Bungee cords and networked physics do not work well together... Maybe I'll unearth the gifs some time!

Fall Guys Devs: please please please keep up this communication to the community. This is something special. Staying in touch will keep everyone around.

Also: level editor would be amazing. Look what it has done for Golf With Your Friends.

We'll do our best! Even if we go quiet rest assured we're here lurking and reading feedback.

I agree that a level creator would be the dream!!!

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!

Some may see this as your uphill battle. You already jumped some obstacles but there is more ahead.

That said, I really like the game and actually can wait for updates, stability, content and so on...

This is a great analogy!
Game development is like Slime Climb and we just reached the yellow logs

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.

Glad 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 ...

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.
