Developer posts and news about this game.
After nearly 2 years in development I have reached everything I laid out on my flyway to release list, which can mean only one thing. The time has come. and at this time I am bringing you new and exciting game mode and way to play. Also there's a new map. Party Mode Birb Game now
I've been away for quite a while, but now I've got a little bit of time, so I've been tweaking how the birb bot "brains" work, so they should now be able to fly better through both wide open maps and tight corridors, like the new train station map. Hope you enjoy the new bot beha
The wait for new hardware is over! To celebrate the Steam Controller hitting the shelves today, Birb Game is 25% off. We know you’ve been itching to try out those new trackpads and magnetic thumbsticks. Well, there’s no better way to test your "Bird-Eye Coordination" than in Birb
Train station This is a new map with fast flying and tight corridors, where you will need to put your reactions and steering skills to the test.
Map editor I've created a separate tool on steam for creating custom maps for Birb Game and upload them to the steam workshop. The map editor is a custom build of Godot engine. You can use the BirbWorkshop Dock to upload the map to the workshop. The editor template has RacePath n
For the last month or so I've been hard at work teaching birbs fly. You can select if you want bots in the lobby even if you started the game in single player. The bots show up on the leaderboard as 'Government drone 1' Even though I spent a lot of time on them, the bots are not
Wing trails I've added wing trail for birds, they can be disabled in settings and you can also change their colour from multiple options. Small fixes: F12 screenshot on windows does not produce psychedelic images anymore.
Demo I've updated the demo with the current game build, it still features the High Rise map and separate leaderboard for that one. Small updates and patches: Added modal windows for quitting from main menu and pause menu Fixed some annoying focus issues on buttons in menus Added
Custom hats You can now use a very beta and unstable feature, which is the birb hat workshop. You can create your custom hats in the Hat Editor in game (accessible in the main menu) and upload it to Steam Workshop, where other people can subscribe to the hats they might like and
Flying Islands I've added a new map, where you can fly through a lovely town on a flying island. Map voting You can now as a lobby host choose to either have the complete authority to choose the map, let all players vote on the map, or choose the map at random. If you choose voti
The radio silence is over For the last almost a month I haven't published any update, but I have been hard at work, it might not seem like that even with this update, but I've done a lot of work, because I've rewritten almost the whole codebase to make it cleaner and easier to ma
Today I deactivated Birb game demo, because I don't think it is representative of current Birb Game. Demo will probably return later, but after I get to updating it to better represent the way Birb game's moving in. Sadly I'm not able to update both the full game and demo at the
Fixed controllers not being able to click on buttons. This issue absolutely went under my radar when developing the new button system, I hope it didn't cause too much hassle for anyone, but it's fixed now and the game is fully controller compatible again.
Progress Bar: I've added a handy Progress Bar to the top of player's screen that shows you your relative progress and also the progress of other players in multiplayer. Player can see their progress indicated on the bar itself, but also with an animated full colour sprite . Other
Last few days I've been working on a new visual identity for this game to not be so bland. It's not yet in its final form, but you can try it out on branch v0.8 and let me know what you think. Here's a little comparison: Also last week, I together with few of my friends took part
Multiplayer achievement Best birb far and wide should now be achievable. Fixed model graphical issues in Factory map (inverted meshes, sadly not big performance upgrade yet).
Fixed in game leader board time formatting and added new achievement for winning a multiplayer round
New leader board submissions for the steam community leader boards should now show the proper format
You can now race in a new Factory map that is not available in the demo Full release has it's own scoreboards, so if you played the demo, your time is not carried over to the full game Remember that this is just an early access release and a lot of stuff is going to change and be
Last time I mentioned my fight with localization, I've now won and here are the fruits of my labor. I am ready for translations, right now I've translated everything to Czech, but that's about it with my abilities. You can help with translations and add languages you would be abl
