Interview:
✧What was the inspiration of the game? What made your team decide to make this game specifically?
We are bird lovers. There are not many games about birds out there, so we decided to make it!
✧Were there difficult moments when developing the game? What led to those difficult moments? What did you learn from it?
We had lots of major design changes and collaboration setbacks during the 2 years of development. We learned that personality is much more important than competence.
✧Were there darlings that you had to kill? What were they? Why was the decision made to remove them from the project, and what were the reasons that you like the darling so much?
A costume system; voiceover for the birds; and the function to literally sing to control the game.
✧Talk about your teammates! What was everyone’s role?
