You Are a Bird changes
New controls, play the tutorial!
Changes
New flight controls for Roll/Yaw that more accurately fit bird flight mechanics into the limits of 3-tracker VR. The old way of rolling was too far off from how birds actually roll. See tutorial for the new controls.
More aggressive auto detect graphics to improve defaults on lower end systems like the minimum requirements.
Enable Lumen real-time GI at Epic GI quality.
Improved reflections on ocean above Low quality.
Start position randomized.
Adjusted quality settings for use more consistent temporal up-scaling.
Tutorial updated with new controls and simplified a bit.
Updated to UE 5.4.4
New trees with individual branches you can land on. Feels more birdy.
Optimized various prop meshes and environment materials.
Welcome to The Cube
Improved foliage shading.
Rewrote and added proper physics/collisions to bird head movents when you land and peck at stuff on the ground.
Fixed feathers that were too dark
Fixed beak jitter
Optimized post process shaders
Fixed cases of getting stuck after landing on trees or facing into a steep hill.
The Tutorial Lads(tm) only live in the tutorial now instead of the main menu.
Improved nighttime visibility when the moon is out. The darkest times of night are still very dark.
Pls let me know how it's working for you on Discord.
