Will there be another beta test before launch? I've been watching this game since it was announced.
For a real question, we see a lot of MXC/Wipeout/Takeshi's Castle references - how much of an influence, if any, did those have on the idea of the game?
There's another one this weekend! Keep an eye out on our Twitter for access codes, and streamers will be handing them out too! :)
Those shows all had a massive influence across the whole game. We're huge fans and we studied the shows all through development. You can see it in the textures on the environment; the art team did a great job making everything look like it's made from soft plastic, foam and crashmats! And you can see it in the Fall Guys themselves - much like gameshow contestants they are uniquely useless at everything they're asked to do, but they always get back up and keep on trying.
yeah but will it be available for PS4 i dont see the game in the store
Ah sorry! I believe they should go live on August 4th.
Thanks for the response, can't wait to play on Tuesday(?) with my partner and good luck with the launch.
Thanks!! I hope you enjoy (on Tuesday indeed) :D
Not really a question but more of an idea!
Since you guys are very active on social media & communicating with the fall guys community I think it would be an amazing idea to have something in place like having a super rare ultra skin for your wee character that can only be obtained by like winning a "fall guys clip of the month" or maybe the dev team can squad up for a weekend and if you get put into a match with them, they randomly can award people this ultra rare skin or something along the lines like that!
I think this would be another way to really drive people playing more and for longer knowing there's a cool wee incentive? Just an idea guys but would love to flex on other players if I ever got this skin 😝
Thanks for doing this. Been following for a while and really digging what you guys do ✌
I used to be totally obsessed with trying to earn Recon armour in Halo 3, so I love this idea. It's tricky though, as soon as you add an extrinsic reward to this type of stuff players can start to do it for the wrong reasons, and your whole community can end up just begging for the special armour the whole time (see old bungie.net for reference!)
Are you hiring?
If expectations are not met for this game, do you have a...
...
Fall Guy?
Yeah it's u/FallGuysJoe
What was the most interesting/exciting part of development?
I think the first time we got 50+ players in a lobby together to play through an entire level. That was the real 'oh wow, this has really got potential' moment for us!
I have heard that your game breaks friendships. Is that true?
I would say the opposite - if your friendship is strong enough to withstand Fall Guys then you are truly soul buddies
Are logs fruit?
Anything is a fruit if you roll it down a conveyor belt!
How will the microtransactions work if there are any I know there is an item shop but there is currency you can earn so will you be able to just purchase with earned currency and then some will be paid shout out to Dev team for an awesome game
So our in-game store runs on a daily rotation, and Kudos/Crowns you earn from playing can be used to buy cosmetics. You can ALSO buy kudos packs from the platform store if you're running a bit short, but crowns CANNOT be bought. If you want those really fancy costumes you're going to have to earn them!
Outside of that we'll have a handful of costumes that appear as a 'pack' similar to our collector's edition pack. These can only be bought with real money, but represent a tiny percentage of costumes that are in the game. 99% of cosmetics can be earned just through playing and we don't have a paid battle pass either.
Will there be new Maps coming after launch?
Absolutely!
How does it feel to get your game featured with the monthly games for PS+?
Pretty amazing! Also love the juxtaposition of tone with CoD alongside us :D
Who do you guys main in smash?
I'm a Yoshi main, though I also dabble in Little Mac and Pit!
Do you expect people to play this game competitively?
The game isn't really designed to played at the peak of competitiveness but you never know what might happen. The game has a bunch of weird quirks to it and sometimes a boulder is just going to come out of nowhere and ruin your day, so I don't think it's really a great fit for competitive gaming! I think it's most fun when you don't take it too seriously personally, but stranger things have happened in the games industry...
If you could've gone back to the start of development and given yourself advice, what would you tell your past selves?
"Don't leave your desk fan in the office before lockdown!"
In a hypothetical situation, that fall guys were our only food source left and humans had to eat them, how would they taste and how would the texture be?
I would assume they squeaked between your teeth and tasted of all sorts of vibrant flavours. :)
2 Questions:
1) How has lockdown affected the dev leading up to release, if at all?
2) How much of this game is inspired by game shows like 50/50, Get Your Own Back, etc? 100%?
Lockdown has definitely made it harder to communicate between disciplines - issues that would have been solved in seconds in the studio become much more difficult when you have to organise calls and such, so we've had to adapt to that and ensure we're as clear as possible with our documentation to avoid unnecessary time waste!
Also, Get Your Own Back and 50/50 were my FAVOURITES as a kid :D we've watched them quite a lot for inspiration!
Could we see the soundtrack being released? Possibly with the Collectors Edition?
The soundtrack is coming to Bandcamp very soon. Jukio Kallio was the composer!
Will there be any packs similar to the preorder pack for steam for PSN on launch?
Yes!
