Duck Evolution Idle — Devlog 3: Beta Release!


Hey duck tamers! Big milestone today: we’re officially in beta 🥚✨.

This version introduces major new systems that push the game beyond simple egg-clicking into a full idle/collection experience.

What’s New in Beta?

 Daily Quests

  • Each day, you’ll get 3 fresh objectives to chase.

  • Examples: “Lay 500 eggs,” “Hatch 2 rares,” or “Own 20 ducks.”

  • Completing quests rewards egg bundles or temporary buffs to keep your flock busy.

 Breeding System

  • You can now pair two ducks to produce something stronger (or weirder).

  • Sometimes the child inherits one parent, sometimes you’ll hatch a hybrid, and once in a while… a Legendary appears 👀.

  • This is the start of deeper duck genetics & hybrids planned for the future.

Titles & Ranks

  • Your name now proudly displays your duck keeper status:

    • 0–9 ducks → Duckling Wrangler

    • 10–49 → Flock Keeper

    • 50–199 → Egg Baron

    • 200+ → Duck Emperor 👑

  • Ranks update automatically as your flock grows.

Hidden Achievements

  • Added several secret unlocks:

    • Lucky Duck — breed a Legendary

    • Eggsactly — finish with exactly 1234 eggs

    • Quack Master — collect every species

  • They won’t show up until you discover them. Good luck hunting!

More Actions

New buttons in the Actions panel:

  • Feed Ducks → Spend eggs to temporarily boost EPS.

  • Golden Egg Lottery → Gamble for a big payout (tiny chance for instant Legendary!).

🛠️ Improvements

  • Autosave still works, now with better offline progress handling.

  • Achievement panel updated with ✅ unlocked/🔒 locked visuals.

  • UI polish — smoother stat updates & toast notifications.

🐤 What’s Next

  • Expanding the breeding system with unique hybrids.

  • More quest variety & seasonal events.

  • A proper endgame prestige ladder with new currencies.

  • Balancing EPS values so the grind feels rewarding but not overwhelming.

🎉 Closing

The game’s now in a state where you can play daily, chase goals, and experiment with ducks beyond simple hatching. Thanks to everyone giving feedback — every quack counts! 🦆

Play it, break it, and tell me what feels good (or not).
Until next time — happy hatching!

kind Regards,

Development Team
