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!

• 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.

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...

This new update is focused on preparing the servers for a new influx of goats... So arm up and stretch your legs on the goatfield, 'cause something's gonna happen really soon!

Stay safe, goaties.

Howdy fellow goats,

The time has come: as anticipated in our previous update, we have prepared a brief 5-min survey to ask you about Goat of Duty (To be precise, 4 mins and 22 seconds!). Your participation in this survey will help us decide the future updates of the game: new content, features, tweaks and more!

That's all for today! May the goats be ever in your favor.

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. That's why we decided to extend the Early Access period for Goat of Duty!

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!



We are listening to you constantly, tweaking Goat of Duty and adding new content based on your feedback. That's why we are preparing a survey about Goat of Duty to improve it in the right direction. All the participants will enter a raffle to win a special prize.

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!




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...


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.

• 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
