• Hello, this is the Birding Simulator Dev Team!
  We decided to start introducing you to our production by answering a few key questions.
  In the Devlog series, we want to show you what working on the project looks like, summarizing the activities so far.

• Game overview
  • What kind of game is it?
    • Simulator with storyline elements
  • Who this game is intended for?
    • Everyone who loves birding and wildlife photography
• Game Contents
  • Location
    • The map is based on the East Coast of the United States. Terrain will be highly diversified allowing as many bird species as possible to appear in our game.
  • Birds
    • We plan to introduce up to 300 bird species from 24 families and 15 orders,
    • Each bird will have it’s own consciousness and needs that will be fulfilled during daily routines,
    • Depending on the species’ social aspect, birds will interact with each other more or less frequently,
    • Aware of the danger, birds will be able to spot or hear players and, in case of a real threat, they will try to escape from him.
  • Items
    • Smartphone
      • Player’s phone serves as minimap and allows to communicate with other NPCs,
    • Binoculars
      • Can help the player with identifying birds’ species and allow to track birds for a short time,
    • Thermal Camera
      • Its main purpose is to help player notice and track birds at night
    • Camo Tents
      • While observing in a tent, the player is unable to move, but is invisible to birds,
    • Clothing
      • Players may become less visible or audible by equipping correct clothing for specific environments.
    • Photo Cameras
      • The main game item that allows the player to take photos which will help him earn money and progress in the story,
      • The game will have to offer many camera models and even more subparts that will affect photo result:
        1. Lens,
        2. Lens Filters,
        3. Teleconverters,
        4. Flashes,
        5. Grips,
      • Are you not familiar with operating photo cameras? Don’t worry each camera will have an Automatic mode that will choose the best parameters for current light conditions,
      • Those who know photography basics will have the opportunity to modify camera settings to achieve the desired photo effect,
• Storyline
  • The game will also include an intricate plot in which players will try to defend bird habitats from anyone who will try to disturb them.
  • Game’s storyline is not required to meet and photograph every bird species.
