Hey all!
Oceana servers were a little slow off the mark but are now up and running. Aus players are reporting much better ping/performance now so things should be running a bit smoother for you all.

Hi all! If you're seeing Disconnects please open a customer support ticket here. We're going to be ansering them as quick as possible, so any additional info you can add (location, connection type, etc,) will really help us narrow down the causes quickly.

Really sorry you're all seeing issues, getting people connected and playing is currently our #1 priority but these issues can be very complex and hard to track down. We're working on it!

Hi! Lead Designer here (going to be trying to answer questions on the Subreddit today).

I don't believe we've ever publicly said we'd add 10 new maps at launch. The beta was VITAL for us getting our 25 launch ready so it was really important that they were all battle tested. If anyone could link me to us saying otherwise so I can correct it I'd appreciate it!

Hey all!
Joe here, I'm the lead designer on Fall Guys and am going to be dipping in to try and answer questions on launch day. Hope you're all enjoying the game!

Hope I didn’t miss the QA, been lookin forward to this one. u/FallGuysJoe, I read the game doesn’t support local multiplayer. I’m sure it’s light years away, but are you planning on adding split screen support for the updated consoles?

We don't have anything to announce around next gen/updated consoles currently, but I'd personally love to bring split screen to them one day!

I saw earlier you mentioned ideas for Twitch integration. Instead of private lobbies, I'd recommend tying it into Twitch if possible.

Allow streamers to invite players to join their next show. If there is more than 60 then the players get selected by random. Those who were not selected remain in the raffle for the next show. If there is less than 60 players in the pool from the Twitch streamers then fill out the pool of contestants with the public pool.

This ensures that Twitch streamers aren't directly taking people away from the public pool while at the same time participating with their followers. If playing with a streamer is the deciding factor to play at all then those 60 players were unlikely to play if they couldn't play with the streamer to begin with.

The tricky thing here is that it gives large communities a LOT of power in public lobbies to mess around and have huge impact on how the game plays.

We need to make sure that those 50ish people are actually going to play the game and not ruin the experience for others in some way. It's a shame but when designing these things we need to think of the worst case scenarios!

I've been following the Twitter for the last few days as I only just discovered the game through a friend. What inspired you to make this game? Was it Takeshis castle? Did Craig Charles convince you to make it? Also here's my AMAZING art, so much better than some of the other stuff I have seen... https://i.imgur.com/7O2fCeo.png . Also, hope you all are having an awesome Friday!

I saw this on twitter, it's beautiful! Yes Takeshi's castle was absolutely the inspiration for Fall Guys, if we could get Craig Charles on Twitch to commentate I'd lose my mind :D

How does that work financially? Presumably games given away on PS+ get some cut of the PS+ subscription revenue?

I'm afraid we can't really talk specifics there!

Where do I find such a thing? Is it a DLC? I've been hyped for this game since the trailer.

Check the PSN store on August 4th!

How many new gamemodes do you estimate to add to the game before the end of the year?

It's really hard for us to say at the moment due to the craziness of launch. We'd like to release loads if possible, but we're also looking into ways we can make our current crop of rounds as replayable as possible too!

Are you have any plans to made fall guys tournament in the future? Can't wait to play your game when it's come out.

We've talked a bit internally about what giant Fall Guys tournaments would look like and it got us all really excited! There's also so much potential for collabs with Twitch too, so we'll see what happens in the weeks after launch!

Can we get exclusive skins and items from PlayStation exclusives, like Ratchet & Clank, Sackboy, Astro Bot, God of War, Uncharted, The Last of Us, Ghost of Tsushima, Horizon, etc. ?

I want my Fall Guy to wear fuzzy lombax ears.

Or have an entire Astro Bot Fall Guy.

We would LOVE Playstation skins like that!

I can say that we do have some awesome IP costumes that will appear in the store over the next few weeks though, so keep your eyes peeled!

Why did you decide to develop a game based around shows such as wipeout, ninja warrior and MXC?

Because we couldn't believe nobody else had done it yet! The first year of development was basically us praying nobody announced something similar before us :D

How often will the game receive new content

The honest answer is that we don't know! The game has exploded in popularity much more than we anticipated so all our plans have sort of gone out the window right now!

I can at least say that we've added a lot of QoL improvements based on beta feedback that should be coming hot on the heels of launch!

Will this game have trophies and will they be easy or hard, on a scale from 1-10?

We have trophies and one of them is so insanely hard I don't think anyone will ever unlock it.

With the huge population of players practically confirmed on the PS4 thanks to the PS+ deal, we PS4 players are in a good place. However, I'm wondering if there are any plans for crossplay with PC in the future.

More players is never a bad thing.

We're hearing the requests for crossplay loud and clear!
We just have to be careful right now to ensure that the big features spend time developing are the ones that benefit the game the most. Things like crossplay can be a huge thing for hardcore players (and those who are active on reddit/discord/twitter), but we need to make sure we're listening to the largest communities, not just the loudest.
