GOAT OF DUTY news & patch notes

Dear goatified players, It's been a goat time! How are you all doing? We've been busy goating around the servers to bring you the newest addition to the Goat of Duty cinematic universe. Introducing the Goathernet Update!

What's new in the Goathernet Update (most commonly known as 0.5.1 update)?

• HUGE news: There's a new and improved network arbitrage in place! This means that there won't be lag differences between client and server players (those joining the matches, and those hosting them). Now, shooting is waaaay more responsive and satisfying for all the bullet weapons (which excludes Fus Ro Beh because it only shoots air... special, dragonborn air). The experience of playing Goat of Duty will now be better for everygoat!
• There's no more pushback while shooting the Nailgun. NAIL THEM. NAIL THEM ALL.
• We've adjusted the mouth of the flamethrower to have a more streamlined opening, thus allowing you to see better where you shoot at! We care for your vision.

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/34981763/104a4e2269a89762158314e8a8f776ceac8409f5.gif Thanosed bugs

• Fixed a tremendous drop in performance after playing several consecutive matches. The responsible: an infamous memory leak, now eradicated.
• We fixed the bug that was resetting goat points in some cases. We truly apologize to those affected by this issue. We value your time playing Goat of Duty and your effort in climbing the leaderboards to become the G.O.A.T.
• Corrected a goat point issue consisting of showing 0 points for some players in the scoreboard and the lobby. That was a lie.
• Fixed a spawn in mid-air bug that was randomly spawning some goats in mid-air, sometimes even outside of the map. IT'S RAINING GOATS. HALLELUJAH, IT'S RAINING GOATS.
• Goat rid of a random crash while idling in the main menu.
• Fixed the missing chart and timer in the training celebration screen. Now they are not missing. They are unmissing.
• Increased particle performance in the main menu. Their latest concert wasn't as good, so we practiced with them, thus becoming a truly fine band! (sorry)
• A random crash during Markhor tag is now fixed. Thank GoD.
• Other minor, mysterious fixes...

ONE MORE THING!

Fellow goats, As you know, we've been updating the game with monthly new content, introducing new goatstumes, new maps, new game modes, leaderboards, and so much more. We are still introducing new features to Goat of Duty, but this time, we would like to test everything that we have in store for you before fully launching the game.

These new features and ideas we have in store include match modifiers, host spectator, gameplay tweaks, competitive elements... We will introduce them and play with you together really soon, we cannot wait to announce what we are working on! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/34981763/755f0db92dc0d72a022020f891a93ca218463e7a.jpg We are listening to you constantly, tweaking Goat of Duty and adding new content based on your feedback.

We want to thank all of you for being a part of Goat of Duty. We have so much fun developing the game and playing with you! We are really excited about what this year has on store for Goat of Duty, so let's make 2020 the year of the GOAT! PS: We are aware 2020 is the year of the rat, but we are goats, rules do not apply to us.

Happy Goatmas, you all! In this time of joy and festivities, the goatiest of goats are ready to face new, deadly adventures. This is it: the time has come to introduce one of the biggest updates of Goat of Duty to date! Many new features are coming today to this quirky arena-shooter. Take a look at them!

An original new map: Battlegoats, with its own Fus Ro Arena version!

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/34981763/898c18b92420d0fa0a58a01328e5e0bbe0fff11c.jpg Two majestic sci-fi towers facing each other, and in the middle, a huge, empty pit. It looks like the perfect place for cybernetically enhanced goats to wreak havoc. Just so you know, our main source of inspiration for Battlegoats is Facing Worlds, the classic map from Unreal Tournament! Many hours were spent on that floating island. Ah, the memories...

New Domination mode!

3 areas. 2 teams. 1 winner. 0 humans. In this new game mode, two goat teams have to compete against each other, capturing three areas around the map. The team that controls these zones during the longest time wins. All the maps, including Battlegoats, can be played in this game mode. Simple. Easy. GG.

Other stuff included in the Goatmas Celebration Update (0.4.1)

• Domination Goat Points count on the global leaderboard as the other game modes, while also having its own leaderboard. You may be a NOOB in other modes, but Domination could be your time to SHINE.
• New entries into Goatipedia related to Domination Mode. Read them, please.
• Tweaks on the ranking algorithm for some game modes. I'm a goat, don't ask me how this works.
• We heard you: you told us the easiest bots were too hard, so we lowered their intelligence. Now, they should be more manageable.

Fixed Bugs

• When you open a leaderboard, your score was not highlighted and focused correctly. Not cool when you want to brag.
• Chinese/Japanese and Russian characters on leaderboards names were displayed as ??????. Weird.
• Goats spawned in the middle of nowhere if they wait until the lobby timer reaches 0. Spooooky.
• A typo on the ranks score: when you lost points, your new score was shown as "--X". That's not a number, so we figured out it didn't make sense.

This is our last update of the year, but behold: 2020 will be the goatiest of years, with new content, features, and events coming to Goat of Duty! Stay tuned to know more about what's to come. MAY THE GOATS BE EVER IN YOUR FAVOR

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/34981763/5aa14616109b78509c35ac7bac0799d326625f0d.png Greetings, our dearest fellow goats!

We ensure that there will be a before and an after on goat shooters!🔫🐐 May the goat be with you! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/34981763/974463bca793cbf3fbf36555d9489cd1738c17ec.jpg

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/34981763/ade29ebcf2cd90ce7fc3184d9e0e39af2ddac806.jpg Hello, our beautiful goats! Your favourite horn-based multiplayer shooter today sees the launch of a massive ‘Community Update’, featuring scores of new goatures suggested by all of your feedback and bringing a fresh competitive element to play. Most notably, this update brings in a ranking system and global/per game mode leaderboards to add an extra layer of competition to proceedings. You will now receive GOAT Points at the end of each encounter based on the skill you demonstrated in play. GOAT Scores for each mode are then combined to provide a Global GOAT Score, enabling you to see just the comparison to the world’s best goat! (is that you?)

And hold your horses...I mean, goats, as there are new more features included in the update, based on your precious feedback!

• Private Matches - You can now create and invite your friends in a private match.
• Sound Occlusion - Play benefits from more believable and realistic sounds.
• Joining an ongoing match will give you now five seconds of freecam before joining the game so you can early understand the game mode and map you're taking on.
• Gentle host disconnection - You won't be no more kicked to main menu but gentle accompanied to the celebration screen.
• Find match feature.
• Maps and weapons optimisations and improvements.
• Various bug fixes.

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/34981763/ea31d089391d08288be66f086a6979d636f54f18.jpg You will be able to boost your GOAT Score if, in team-based modes, you are part of the winning team, or in other modes if you make it onto the podium. But, be careful, cause if you disconnect before the end of the match, you will also lose points! There are four main factors you shall keep in mind for your final GOAT points at the end of each game:

• How many kills you scored: the more you kill other players, the more points you gain.
• How many times you were killed: you lose points the more times you die.
• How much of the match you actually played (to balance out late goaters).
• Keep an eye on the match's average GOAT score: You will gain more points by killing a more experienced player, while getting killed by ‘rookies’ will lose more points.
• (In Markhor games, only kills made by the Markhor count towards GOAT score.)

And last but not least, you can take a look at the updated roadmap (goatmap?) to see what's coming next... Let's keep goatting around! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/34981763/974463bca793cbf3fbf36555d9489cd1738c17ec.jpg

New Game Mode: Markhor Tag

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/34981763/0e1ccb5e9383803dd3c217d19112c88de963795d.gif Do goats dream of becoming a Markhor when they grow up? Markhor Tag is the new game mode that will let goats all around the world to become this beautiful animal for a few minutes. When you become the Markhor Goat, you can kill any goat just by ramming them. But, be careful, because the rest of the herd will be chasing you and once you die… your killer will become the Markhor Goat. The one with the most kills as the Markhor Goat will be the one to be crowned in this crazy, new game mode. And by the way, this is what a Markhor looks like in real life. LOOK AT IT. IT'S GLORIOUS. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/34981763/831e13785ac6f3791d5ad1197382d40d4a6c0dda.jpg Image by Rufus46 under the Creative Commons License.

New Map: Death Valley

The biggest map up to date is also the most complex and versatile. Cliffs? You goat them. Jumping into the void? Check. We even have a half abaaaaa-ndoned building that will remind you of Horror Well, but this one is more horizontal and specially designed for ambushing other goats. Do not miss the art on the walls by our very own Baaaaaa-nksy!

Advanced sensitivity options

You asked and we delivered. If you enable the advanced sensitivity option you will be able to set the horizontal and vertical sensitivity factor to 1:1 and split the values per axis

New Features

• New tips & tricks: We want you to become the best goat on the battlefield and you will have all the information to do so. Information is power!
• New Goatipedia content: Game modes have their own section on the Goatipedia. They will contain all the info you need plus some tricks personally tested by our brightest goats. No goats were harmed during this process, we guarantee it.

Changes & improvements

• We have lowered the AI’s ramming in the lowest difficulties so those baaaaaaa-stards won’t be chasing you relentlessly.
• CPU optimization improvements
• The goatbots AI has been improved so they have a bigger goater side instead of a robotic one. (Honestly? They will behave more like humans… or human goats)
• Better AI pathfinding on the Fus Ro Arena Mode. Camp no more! Now AI goats won’t be waiting for you at an exact spot to ram you out the map but, in the meantime, they will be more unpredictable.
• Goatbots now drop their weapons once they are killed.

Fixes

• Fixed the bug concerning the sawgun mines. Now, ramming a goatnado will trigger the expected damage and effect
• Fixed blood on the camera after an explosion (sometimes it didn’t appear correctly)
• Fix the grenade launcher bug that occasionally caused a double kill on the same target
• Fix a faulty effect showing a hologram of a throwing weapon by a dead enemy that didn’t disappear after catching it

See you all on the goattlefield!

But we haven’t been only goating around. We have taken this time to hear your bleats on our Discord channel and on the Steam forums and we are so happy to announce that we have a new Goatfix that will add some features, make some improvement and fix some stuff.

• Random game mode option on vote screen. Bleating intensifies!
• New tooltips. So you can learn more about goats than anybody else in the world!

Improvements and changes

• Added disconnected host messages for clients. No more leaving without saying goodbye!
• Few lighting updates so goats will look even more beautiful!

We want to thank you once again for all the feedback, ideas and support we are getting from you either on the Steam forums and the Discord server. We continue implementing new features and ideas that you have told us and we encourage you to keep doing so, so Goat of Duty can evolve and become the goatest goat person shooter! Yours goatly,

https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/34981763/e55e52488c2ab0547ec91679c33f526206c1e3d5.gif Dear goats around the world, We are publishing our first big goatdate (update) today! We are introducing several changes, fixes, features, and tweaks to Goat of Duty, including a new map for you to goat around. Many of these additions are a direct answer to your feedback on both Discord and Steam, so we have to thank you all for being part of such a crazy community, and to contribute to the present and future of Goat of Duty. Here's everything you can find in our biggest Goatdate yet:

Goatdate 0.1.1

New features

• A completely new map: Slaughter House! A claustrophobic, gory location where bloodthirsty goats fight against each other for supremacy.
• Kills feed: Now you can see who killed you and with which weapon. Now you can avenge your fallen goatself!
• You can now propose a team swap with F1. If an enemy goat presses F1 within 15 secs, you will both change teams, TRAITOR.

Change/Improvements

• Improved performance on all maps, including FPS stability.
• Gameplay balance tweaks:

https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/34981763/54915062c9d4cf6420e8653891aea5de88881fcf.gif

• Improved quality of life and usability of the lobby. Now it will be more fun to goat around before matches!
• Improved goatstume screen in lobby. You can read now the name of the highlighted costume. Information is power.
• Highlight on-fire player in scoreboard. You can now track down that son of a goat and end their streak.
• Level design tweaks on Future Farm: Less camping on top of the tower, more goat-to-goat close action
• Small tweakings on Fus Arena levels, design and level-wise. Goatimizing is our area of expertise.
• Default quality settings reduced to accommodate lower-tier PCs. You can now play with wooden computers (not really)
• Improved lighting on all maps. Goats are more glorious than ever before (Did we do this joke already?)
• You cannot swap savings now, cheeky cheater.
• Added some sound effects on UI events. Epic.
• Additional minor improvements and tweaks. No time to explain them here.

Fixes

• Fixed the MAX FPS issue. You can now play at unlimited FPS. FREEDOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM.
• Fix ragdoll jumpad replication states to improve jumpings, which are extremely important for goats.
• Random crash fix on goatnado. No more ragenados.
• Crash fix when joining a match while a player ended a killstreak.
• Achievement "Stealth as a goat" fixed. Now it triggers properly. We suggest unlocking this Achievement with Solid Goat for +Style points.
• Fixed a bug where blood splats and corpse explosions did not occur properly. You can now enjoy the goriest goat-action without censorship.
• Fixed several Fus Ro Arena bugs. A programmer wanted to keep them in-game, but then he took an arrow to the knee.
• Fixes on Future Farm navigation + space optimization for goats. Don't try playing it as a human.
• Fixed a freeze issue when in "Training". No more stage fright.
• Fixed a bug where hosts could not see the VFX of the Fus Ro Beh of other bots and players. Do not stop Fur Ro Behing other goats, it's funny.

There are still several big updates coming your way in the next months with new content and features, including a brand-new game mode we cannot wait to reveal, so stay tuned and keep enjoying Goat of Duty with us! Yours goatly,

https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/34981763/7fc616cf41311f2221d3e1a4f4d0a3967e2701e0.jpg Our beautiful, badass goats, We are so excited to finally play with all of you! These last 48 hours have been a blast and we cannot wait to get into the weekend to keep goating around. So much so, that we have been able to introduce the first ever update of Goat of Duty! Take a look:

Goatfix 0.0.1

Improvements

• Goats now level up with cooler sounds, special effects and animations.
• The goat interface during Team Deathmatch... matches, is shown as intended.
• You can now change goatstumes until the countdown starts, don't forget to dress up before playing! (or not, who cares, you are a goat).
• Lightning improved in all the maps. Goats are more glorious than ever before.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed crash taking place when inviting friends, you can now invite them to your matches and wreck their goat asses without fear.
• Fixed bug where the pause menu would stay on screen if launched during the beginning of the match. Now it doesn't happen. Because it is fixed.
• Health bonuses work as intended, now a 20% health bonus is actually 20% and not 19.99999999999%.
• Now you cannot bind controls to worthless keys like F4, or assign two actions to the same key.
• You cannot longer invite your friends to Training Mode, because it is a single goat mode and therefore, you can only play alone.
• The celebration song at the end of the matches is more awesome now.
• The player with the best K/D ratio is now highlighted at the end of the match, not like before when random goats were shown. Not anymore, NOOBS.

Additionally, we are aware that the Unlimited FPS option in MAX FPS is not working as intended, and we are working on fixing it for the next update. Meanwhile, you can use the 240 fps option to play Goat of Duty at the highest FPS quality. Thank you for all the feedback and ideas you've given us on Steam and Discord, especially in the tech_support and suggestions channels. We are fixing many of these bugs thanks to your comments, as well as implementing new concepts into Goat of Duty that you are interested in. We encourage all of you to keep sharing your feedback with us to keep evolving Goat of Duty. May the goats be ever in your favor!

After the two last betas and your full support, 34BigThing and Raiser Games are ready to launch the most frenzy First Goat Shooter out there! Feedback has been collected and implemented and we’ll continue doing so! Can’t wait to play with you all from the 10th of July.

We’ve worked all hooves on deck to make come true your awesome feedback from the last two betas. You, dear hairy ruminants, are really important for us and the development of the game. It’s thanks to your ideas that Goat of Duty is and will be the best FGS (First Goat Shooter). Here are all the changes, additions and improvements we are implementing in Goat of Duty thanks to your feedback shared in our Discord community. Let’s goat!

General

New Modes We’re all ears! New game modes are being researched and implemented. Private matches with friends In progress! Browse matches to join This is a secret, don’t tell other goats but it’s already been implemented. Waiting for you goats to bring friends and create a bigger pen. UI upgraded On it! We're evaluating which parts to prioritize, if the menu, game HUD or both. Votekick in-game Really useful in case of scripters or toxic players. We need to see how our awesome community evolves with time. Unlocked Frame rate Already implemented. Will latency numbers be-e-e shown in the overview? For sure, we’re currently working on it and it should be up and kicking in coming versions of Goat of Duty. Show pings in the server browser? Working on it, available soon-ish. What about private map lobbies? Just read our minds. We’re developing lobbies for you to chill and graze with your fellow goats. Add Russian! You bleat, we obey! Russian language has been unlocked and can be selected now. Lightning seems overdone, please make rays and light subtler? Ok, ok, we don’t’ want to dazzle you goats. Lightning changed! Intro sound, we love it! Could you guys make it either louder or more pronounced? Sure thing, considerate it done! Don’t blame you if you love bleats! Who doesn’t?! You know, n00b goats will appreciate tips in the loading screen? And we’d love to make those noobs pro-goats! We’ve added tips to the loading screen! No excuses now, git gud! Port to consoles (PS4, Xbox and Switch) and mobile (Android, iOS) Under Evaluation. Goat of Duty is made with Unreal Engine, which makes it “easy” to port to consoles. Be a good goat, love the game and we’ll take it to your favorite console and mobile device.

Gameplay

Training mode or tutorial Bots come to help you train! A training mode is now available to help your aim. Improve net code / latency. We’ve improved the net code. The ram and grenade are now more responsive. Rocket jump, pleaseee! Consider it done! Rocket launcher on hoof: Jump + Shoot to the ground = Fly free It’s a bit confusing sometimes when hits land, no hit marker or sound. Also, there is no indication of the hitbox being hit. All hooves on deck! Working on making hits clearer, PLUS hitbox indication added! Better contrast map vs. players. We’re working in colors outlines, making easier to see where horns start and tails end! Bigger maps. Well, you only got to play the first 3 maps and its “Fus Ro Arena Versions”. There will be plenty more areas and surprises for curious goats. The Sniper feels a bit inaccurate. We’ll be adding a trace to the bullet, making it direct and simple. Horn shot! Uniqueness. Are you working on Goat of Duty goaty mechanics? How many fpg (first person goathers) have you played? xD Kidding (goat joke). Goat of Duty is working on its uniqueness. Believe us when we say: We are and will be one kind of a breed (of goat). Weapon HUD, showing a list of weapons available per map and owned + ammo. Great recommendation! Added to the “to do” list after “eating plastic”. Would be nice to have a sound when on killing spree. You asked for it, you already goat it. Damage when ramming is a bit low. All goats’ horns are being polished and sharpened to increase ramming damage! Use it wisely!

Weapons

Fus Ro Bleat to catapult yourself against the floor or walls, like a Rocket Jumping. Haha, it would be awesome cool! Right now, new game modes are under consideration. Stay tuned! Decrease ROF for Fus Ro Bleat to recover after getting shot and prevent being continuously shoot. Interesting! We will investigate (insert evil science goat laugh here). Jetpack as a temporary boost or item! Funny! Thank you for your ideas. Although not all them could be addressed, we look into each single proposition. Some weapons seem to be delayed, rocket launcher especially. Grease and milk, weapons are being modified to improve accuracy. Instructions. Goats need to know weapons use and names. Consult the Goatpedia from the main menu. All that and much more for nerdy ruminants.

Control

More precise sensitivity slider. We’ve decided to add more precision and sensitivity to the slider so you can’t blame it for losing. Hardcore control scheme. GoD is based on old-school’s shooters. Goatta be a bit hard, right? From 34BigThings and Raiser Games we’d like to say: Thank you! You are doing an amazing job and your bleats (feedback) is great, please keep sharing with us your amazing ideas. It’ll help us improve the game to make it the G.O.A.T.
