Why Early Access?

“We want to find all the bugs and issues so that immersing yourself in the world of Bird Brigade is more enjoyable — and to collect and add the most interesting suggestions.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“6–12 months, while the core concept is being finalized.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“We plan to add more biomes and modes, improved balance, new mechanics, more music and content — and much more.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Modes:
— Nest
— Penguin Race
— Rooster Race
— Exploration (open-world story campaign, 8 acts)

33 bird presets, each species with its own characteristics. A full DNA system — almost a billion unique birds.

Over 20 soundtrack songs (OST).

3 maps for Nest mode (River, Winter Forest, Island); 6 biomes in Exploration mode.

Interactive lobby, skin preview, shop, achievements, quests, a login/registration system, friends and online play, creating your own servers.

And much more.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“When the game leaves Early Access, we plan to raise the price — so the earlier you join, the better it is for both you and us.”
