Miksi Early Access?

You Are a Bird is launching in Early Access so your feedback can help me create a better VR bird sim.

Miten kauan peli tulee arviolta olemaan Early Access -vaiheessa?

~When it's ready~
You Are A Bird development is a battle against every convention of VR optimization and the new UE5 Beta version uses some of the latest Unreal 5 rendering tech and experimental features in VR. Not a predictable process overall.

Millä tavoin lopullinen versio tulee eroamaan Early Access -versiosta?

Development plans include:

• A variety of bird species options
  
• Additional biomes like cities, snowy forests, and tropical islands.
  
• Humans to mess with?
  
• More prey animals.
  
• More survival elements (thirst, sleep, etc).
  
• 💩ing on humans, cars, statues, etc.
  
• Bird calls.
  
• Mechanically different diurnal and nocturnal birds.
  
• Predator animals on the ground.
  
• Improved dynamic audio.
  
• Improved flight mechanics.
  
• Improved visuals

Mikä on Early Access -version tila tällä hetkellä?

You will encounter bugs, performance issues, and generally rough edges at this stage of development.
The older Unity version has been replaced with a full rewrite in Unreal Engine 5.

Bird flight simulation has been totally re-written based on real bird flight physics and is in a playable state.
Runtime procedural world generation has been replaced with more a detailed and optimized 56 square kilometer world.
Hunt rabbits and peck out their guts.
Many planned features are not ready yet ~but it's still fun to fly right now~

The older Unity version is still available in an optional beta channel named "unity"

Muuttuuko pelin hinta Early Access -vaiheen jälkeen?

Not planning to increase price.

Miten yhteisö otetaan mukaan kehitysprosessiin?

I keep up with the community over Discord http://discord.gg/HUaYVan primarily. Pls join there for bug reports, feature suggestions, etc.

There's already a ton of features and improvements in my To Do list from players and I'm hoping to add more.
