Hello birders! We had the pleasure of showcasing at Awesome Con last weekend and got a lot of helpful feedback!

addedSome highlights include a new start screen! (Watch the birds idle and wander, it’s like those live zoo cams). Additionally, we’ve done a lot of reorganizing in the start area, as well as a notification system, to help with intuitiveness and tutorialization!! Finally, the location outside the start area has changed! Due to this, when continuing from an old save, you will restart from the tutorial cave, but all bird discoveries and puzzles will remain saved! The rest are mainly small adjustments for balancing and overall game feel. As usual, the full notes are below.
