you should add a way to give the goose commands e.g. double click for it to sit (like with a dog) but after a certain amount of time it disobeys and runs around
or even maybe an option where you can chase the goose around with the cursor
or even make an option for it to have a little pond it can swim in and splash water everywhere?
After you download it double click to go inside the files then click on goosedesktop to extract all files. Then after in get's done extracting all of them go to the new files and double click back to goosedesktop and then when you click on that it will run. after that when you want to get rid of the goose hold down the esc button and on the top left it will show the program closing. hopes this helps.
The whole application doesn't work too well with multiple screens but that'd mean lots of changes. The goose can chase my cursor on my other screen but isn't visible.
I love this little goose. Only problem is I cant figure out how to get him to make sound. I can hear his little waddles but hes never honked or made the biting noise. How would i fix this?
I'm dissappointed that i got pretty happy to see this, but it doesn't support mac. Great work with this though, I loved seeing the reactions on twitter :)
Hi there. I found a bug when you exit the game while the goose has your mouse, then your mouse will be stuck in place until you get the game to open again (easy fix if you know how to use keyboard shortcuts, but still a bug)
I swear I saw a demo of Catz running on a 90's Mac once where they could grab and throw your cursor around, and this is the first thing to remind me of that in probably 15 years. I wonder why desktop pets fell completely out of vogue.
Almost works perfectly in Wine! The only part that doesn't render properly are the memes that get dragged onto the screen. They just fully appear over top of the goose until it is 95% done dragging.
This is pretty great! Pro-tip: You can run the app a couple times to spawn more geese, but each goose added eats up more CPU (on my computer, each goose was eating 20% CPU usage). Maybe optimize this?
I've also noticed on a multi-monitor setup, the goose appears only on the main screen. It can travel to the other monitors if it is chasing your mouse, but you can't see it on the other monitor.
This is really neat and I hope to see more updates!

idk i love this sm tho tysm for your creation
Does this work for dual monitors because I would like my goose to be able to ruin my other monitor aswell
OMG, SO AMAZING!!!!!!!!
how do you run it please ( with steps im having trouble)
After you download it double click to go inside the files then click on goosedesktop to extract all files. Then after in get's done extracting all of them go to the new files and double click back to goosedesktop and then when you click on that it will run. after that when you want to get rid of the goose hold down the esc button and on the top left it will show the program closing. hopes this helps.
does this work for chromebook
i wish this was on MacBook :(
+1!
Please make this available for people with MacBooks! I love the concept and was really sad when I learned it isn't supported on mac. :(
Would it be somehow possible to have this work as a screensaver? Remember those?
Back in ye olden dayes my fave screensaver was Bad Dog, a dog that'd dig through your recycle bin, rip holes in windows, leave mud everywhere, etc.
A mode that automatically ticks on after 10 minutes and disappears when you hit a key would be fantastic!
I really like the idea of this as a screensaver
When does le goose start doing antics?
Can we add Multi display support? The meme appears on the other screens before its dragged onto the main display? Its great :)
how do i actually change goose’s aggressiveness, i open config and it says False how do i change it specifically?
i assume it's True/False, if the goose stops working after that just change it to false again
im waiting for the day i can use it on my chromebook ):
Does this work with chromebook?
Idea- goose should scroll the page your on randomly
Maybe if your typing something it starts writing stuff?
clicking on goose should do something- maybe flap its wings?
Overall, 10/10. Havent seen a real virtual buddy thing in quite some time
Might you be able to add the dynamic link library: mscoree.dll
in order for the program to run on older versions of Windows?
Trying to put this on my friend's PC but it's running Windows 2000
I got so excited when I saw this, bu when I got on I wasn't able to use the goose because it doesn't support Mac :(
New feature Idea: When the goose starts chasing your cursor, if you make it spin it should get dizzy for 1-2 seconds.
Does this work on a chromebook?
idk i have a chormebook too and i want to use it
No, it is only for windows.

I was able to get the sound working, have you checked your computer's overall sound settings?

Just a false positive.
if you look in the comments of the virustotal page I written up the reason av flags it.

I think you should be able to (very rarely) kill the goose. Then things will move by themselves, you are now haunted by a poltergoose!
I would love it if you were able to take the goose and lock it to a different screen or make it able to travel to multiple screens
Sounds like bonzi buddy with extra steps lol
i love it even though its being a little brat
Im a bit unfamiliar to this, is it like a game I can turn off at any time? Because if so I am 100% downloading it.
Yes you can, to exit the game just hold the esc key for about 5 seconds. You will not regret this. Downloading this was the best decision of my life
thank you
yes you can just hold down esc for a few seconds when you want him back you have to re go to the file tho but it very easy

I love this i'm laughing so hard
A few suggestions - Make the goose pause your music or videos
There is a .00001 percent chance the goose will build a portal to the Gooseverse and let in 20 or so geese
When you don't move your mouse, the goose will either honk a ton or just take it to a random place
I really enjoy this, thanks for making this i love it

fantastic, and very beautiful!
Only problem is that when the Goose goes to get a meme, it crashes my whole computer, how do I fix this?
Almost works perfectly in Wine! The only part that doesn't render properly are the memes that get dragged onto the screen. They just fully appear over top of the goose until it is 95% done dragging.
Any possibility for mac support?
This is pretty great!

hehe it only uses around 6-10% for me so
true
how i close? :")
hold esc for about 10 seconds... its in the read me
Hold esc, It has more instructions in ReadMe! Honk.txt
Is this SFW?
Yes.
Nice to know this isn't a virus
amazing. Volume slider would be great.
