A first look at a new game prototype!
Over the last days: multiplayer, building stuff, and cheetahs chasing you. Sticking to core mechanics first is tough, had to stop myself from going all-in on art and sound too soon!

Hey everyone!

Thanks for checking out this devlog. This new prototype will be a full on multiplayer experience that you can play with a group of friends. Excited to explore new themes, share updates on the preproduction and eventually a playable demo :-)

Experience spheres 📘

Can you spot the blue spheres? They give you experience points that will let you grow your character! Melee combat = more risk but higher reward!

Added a dismantling option for unused swords or armor - can you ever have too many particles? 🐣 🎆

Happy #WIPWednesday!

Working on this pandemic game since 6 months - play as birds and evolve! 🐣

Grounded Birds is lighthearted, easy to pick up but also pretty dark. It's about birds that are literally grounded ( can't fly anymore ) and need to find a way to survive. 🐤🐦

Building a level:

This week, we blocked out a level, tested it and then filled it with more beautiful environmental assets!

Players can really learn the core of the game here and prepare for battle. This is iteration 2/3 until it is added to the game!

This week, we added support for controllers (Xbox, PS4)! 🎮

The tooltips update automatically to let you know how to use the controls. Feels like the controls fit the game very well, and are excellent for platforming. 🦘
