VR Out Now, Mobile Coming Soon, Main Game Discounted!May 9, 2025 - Community AnnouncementsDear Duckies, A lot to announce today! Today is the day our first VR effort sees the light of day. We always thought the ducks would feel at home in a virtual reality pool, and we finally managed to pull that off! Yes, Early Access means you might still find it a bit rough around the edges, but we believe your relaxation shouldn't really be affected all that much. So go ahead, put your headset on, and find out what’s changed from the original game. https://store.steampowered.com/app/3595010/Placid_Plastic_Duck_VR/ And now, a piece of news that should interest a broader duck crowd, since VR headset owners are still a minority among gamers (or an elite, if you prefer :coolduck:). So here’s the second big news: As of today, Placid Plastic Duck Simulator officially has a mobile store page on iOS! https://apps.apple.com/us/app/placid-plastic-duck-simulator/id6742243377 {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42442493/021019a5280ee5317a5876b6d08ca2f6f5129524.png You can grab your smartphone and pre-order the game now, then see it appear among your apps the day it comes out next month. If you download it on day one, you’ll get a free DLC as a thank-you for your continued support! If you're on Android, don't worry, PPDS will be available there very soon too. And lastly, we’re pleased to announce that today, PPDS is on Steam’s front page! To celebrate, a 50% discount is live — there’s no better time to grab the game if you haven’t yet (or gift it to that unaware friend and hear them say “what the duck” when they open it). There's a 30% off on all DLCs, so the discount also affects the bundle! Until the next announcement :smileduck:The duckiest bundle: Placid Duck DetectiveJan 23, 2025 - Community AnnouncementsDear duckies, It's nice to make friends, sure, but it's nicer when they are ducks because... DUCK POWER! ːcoolduckː Let it be known that the ducks have teamed up for an overwhelmingly positive bundle of mystery-solving and chill vibes! Put on your trench coat and quack your way through quirky cases, then swap it for a swimsuit and enjoy some well-deserved relaxation by the pool. https://store.steampowered.com/bundle/49672/Placid_Duck_Detective/ We are excited to be side by side with a fun game like Duck Detective: The Secret Salami. A big thank you to the HAPPY BROCCOLI team for being so friendly and cool! On a different note, we have another piece of news we'd like to share today. Do any of you have friends who play with the ducks on console? If so, you can officially make yourself the bearer of great news: the DLC known as So Many Ducks is out on all consoles from today! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42442493/c19f549199940a112bd6b14a4c293509ce584b38.png "Ducks Galore" DLC and a Kickstarter on the horizon!Nov 15, 2024 - Community AnnouncementsDuck friends, There are many things to cover today! New DLC Two DLCs in such a short time? Yes! We’re thrilled we pulled this off, especially since we're busier than ever working on two more duck games. (If you’re reading this, you already know about them and have added them to your wishlist, right? :menacingduck:) https://store.steampowered.com/app/3295380/Placid_Plastic_Duck_Simulator__Ducks_Galore/ Secret Diorama Project Now, let’s talk about something exciting in the physical realm of analog ducks... The amazing folks at Mojito Studios—a board game producer—approached us with a wild idea: a DUCK DIORAMA called Placid Plastic Duck Studio. Could we say no? Of course not! While nothing’s set in stone yet, they’ve already made a prototype (with water!), and they’re working on a Kickstarter campaign. If you’d like to help make this incredibly cool thing happen, head over to their presentation page to sign up as an interested backer: https://presale.mojitostudios.com/ The more people we can rally, the more likely it is this feverish vision will become a reality—so spread the word! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42442493/6c35fa66a6f0ce3ba2fae0544aa40a8505ce9189.png Game Update Finally, we made the PC and console versions more consistent. This is a major update, so expect some differences from the usual build and possibly some minor bugs. If you find something is not working as intended, please use the bug reports section in Steam Discussions. Known bug: Currently, the multiplayer saves are not working. Good news is for the occasion, we managed to work on some quality-of-life improvements, such as: Controller Compatibility Revised UI Improved Performance - Graphics and CPU performance have been optimized Water Disappearance Bug Fix Other small things I forgot to take note of We'll keep working to fix and improve what we can.

This was not a forgetful silence—rest assured, you've been in our minds ever since we posted the first announcement in 2022. Rather, it was a "calm before the storm" kind of silence. We've been busy, very busy, and to be honest, we'll be busy for a little longer. And yet, we've never been so happy to be this busy because we are working on a new, unexpected ducky-deck game! If you consider that good news, hold on to your chair because today is the day you can watch the announcement trailer of Placid Plastic Deck - A Quiet Quest! https://store.steampowered.com/app/2510020/Placid_Plastic_Deck__A_Quiet_Quest/ Go to our brand new Steam page and push that “Add to Wishlist” button.

Together! -- Further general PPDS news: we are working on porting the game to mobile, which will happen before the year ends (with a little surprise) we are working on porting the remaining DLCs on all consoles, this should happen around November we want to produce a new DLC, we are aiming at December SSD is in progress and pretty much in line with our timeline ANNOUNCING: Placid Plastic DesktopMar 12, 2024 - Community AnnouncementsSome things are done just for the sake of it. You don't need a reason, you just do it. Kind of for experimentation. For science! If we had to give one reason for creating Placid Plastic Desktop, though, it's this trailer: That said, we thought a small number of PPDS aficionados, as bonkers as we are, might enjoy being able to close the game and still have the ducks floating on their screen. Or perhaps you just want yet another excuse to show love to the ducks and support them in their future endeavors (yes yes, we'll talk about the big things that are coming up next time, promise). Either way, some things we just can't help but do. This, is one of those things.

Sometimes we wonder how many ducks are out there that we don't even know exist. Will we manage to meet them all eventually? I guess we can only wait and see! But it feels good to imagine them floating peacefully somewhere, in a place where none of us is watching them.

We thought the vision we had was simply too weird to appeal to a vast audience. We were wrong. There are many of you, and you understand the spirit of the game very well. Sometimes, you understand it better than us even. You have supported and guided us throughout this whole first year. Every comment, review, screenshot, fan art, fan song, Twitch clip, Discord interaction, and tweet has contributed to the incredible story of this silly game that is not really a game. PPDS is an indie project we casually dropped in the ocean of Steam as a floating message of love to anyone who would pick it up. And you did pick it up, sending it back to us like a big, sudden wave of love. Let's recap what that wave has meant: 4 DLCs 2 additional locations 17 new achievements 1 Christmas event 9 special ducks 1 Discord server with 1464 ducks 7,868 reviews 3 console ports 1 open door Today, we take a moment to celebrate our first year with the ducks! We do that with 3 new event ducks, a present to show you all our gratitude. Naturally, they won't be available for long, and you must play the game to get them. You can't miss the party. For you know, if you think about it, this is your birthday too! turbolento games NB: graphic settings this month"Hippospace Download" DLC is here!Jun 6, 2023 - Community AnnouncementsMy dear ducks, Jetpack your stuff, we are going to space! Some time ago we received a postcard from cow duck inviting us to pay a visit. So we decided to go take a look, and thought why not bring you all with us? Join us on Hippospace Download. https://store.steampowered.com/app/2400830/Placid_Plastic_Duck__Hippospace_Download/ We are daring a bit more with this third location, and we are eager to hear what you think! We wanted to experiment and slightly complicate things, hence some polishing might be due (beware). 3 new ducks and 4 new achievements await you - only if you are, as you should be by now, patient enough ːcoolduckː Once again, thank you all for being part of the duck family. New content like this is only possible thanks to your invaluable support. There's still so much relaxing and chilling to do, rest assured! turbolento games {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42442493/9500e15fce736b31b324174eb77c8685d0a7fec0.jpg MULTIPLAYER is here!May 17, 2023 - Community Announcements{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42442493/3228973c8d8f1a77c0614a8b85d940359e9c3565.jpg My duck friends, Among the many things we could add to the game (graphic settings, anyone?), we decided to bring you the silliest of them all: the multiplayer! Have you ever dreamed of being able to select a particular duck and just be it as you float happily with your friends? Now you can! (do nothing with your friends) A total of 8 people can now join the pool, choose from the collection any duck they have previously unlocked, and hang out together. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42442493/093c0196e7fff096c698ee28a8a11d99c4db30dc.png Do you all want to pick helicopter duck? Do that and see who is the last one to remain in the pool, for a real Battle Royal experience. Or, get one fire-breathing duck among wood ducks, and the last one to catch on fire wins. The possibilities are endless! Since testing is still ongoing, this is a BETA, which means: - only the base location is available - the door is not active - errors might occur - be patient ːmenacingduckː And that's all for today. A shoutout to all the ducks in the Discord server who read this, you are the best! More news soon. ːcoolduckː (yes, graphic settings are also in the works) QUACK!The ducks make friends: 3 gifted ducks and a "World of Placid Plastic Duckships"Mar 24, 2023 - Community AnnouncementsDear ducklings, Thanks to you all, the ducks are really going places we didn't expect. d- First: As a sign of appreciation towards our unbelievably friendly community of hardcore gamers, we are adding special ducks to the Infinity Cool location today. These are 3 gaming-related ducks. Do you want to know more? You'll have to get into the game and wait. For now, I will only say that one of them is a crossover. Our first duck crossover! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42442493/14c25ee9f098d6cc72c35592d63b6f2b430efc18.jpg o- Second: o- As the camo-duck always says, "relaxing is sweeter after a long day of battle." Starting today and for a limited period of time, Placid Plastic Duck Simulator will bundle with the latest World of Warships' DLC! https://store.steampowered.com/bundle/30571/World_of_Placid_Plastic_Duckships/ r- Fire up World of Warships, equip your favorite battleship with all the makings of a (somewhat less placid) plastic duck, and unleash the Quacken! Then enjoy the calm after the storm and enter the healing pool of Placid Plastic Duck Simulator, where you can kick back, relax, and quack as you please. (About World of Warships: 20th-century naval combat comes vividly to life in this unique tactical shooter experience. Change the look of your ship, choose upgrades to suit your play style, and go into battle with other players!) We are excited to see the ducks making friends, we hope you are too! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42442493/668ce4ebffcf9e28f3bdf35ec09670c0a63ca965.jpg "Duck Addiction" DLC now available!Feb 20, 2023 - Community AnnouncementsDear friends, Thanks to you the word about PPDS is spreading far and wide, so much so that a new flock of ducks decided to join in and they are now ready to meet you in your favorite pool! So kick back, relax, and watch them as they do what they do best: floating. But expect some hiding, dancing, scanning, and other things. https://store.steampowered.com/app/2303400/Placid_Plastic_Duck_Simulator__Duck_Addiction/ These new ducks are bringing with them 3 additional achievements. I know the vast majority of you like that, but bear in mind these ones require some... action, as sometimes happens in the game. What else? Ah right, save slots. We promised we would add one additional save slot, one for each location. We added 6 instead! ːcoolduckː (does that mean we'll eventually get to 6 locations? no. I don't know. maybe. ːnerdduckː) We also added a little something we call a cinematic camera, which comes in handy when you leave the game open without interacting: the camera will automatically switch from duck to duck (or spot) after the game is left idle for a while. You can turn this function off from the settings. Lastly, if you check the controls section, you'll notice how now you can stop the duck spawn by pressing Y. To recap: - 3 additional achievements - 6 save slots - cinematic camera - Y to stop spawning ducks And this is all for now. As always, thank you for your support. The duck family keeps expanding, and as long as the word keeps spreading, more content will never cease to come! turbolento games
