Ich meine es ist ein Development Build, aber ehrlich gesagt habe ich absolut keine Ahnung in welche Richtung sich das Spiel entwickeln soll. Ein Haufen quietschbunter Vögel eiern durch die Gegend, es gibt Geheimnisse(?) zu Entdecken und 50er Bizeps angebracht an Wackelige Wackelkameraden in Vogelform prügeln sich durch den Fiebertraum den ich bitte nie wieder erleben möchte.
Keine Ahnung was es sein sollte, aber das war leider nur die erste 2 Minuten lustig.
Forgive me for sounding stupid, but how do I teach the birds? all they do is spawn than run into a corner and start punching, and when they are out of the corner they are usually jumping around and doing nothing.
This is great! I was able to make the AI's be almost perfect gladiators! This is how I did it. Start off with punching and moving. Killed the passive ones. Killed the immobile ones. Killed the jumping ones. (repeat around 5 times ;w;) Wait a few hours/go afk but still check in. Repeat steps 1 2 and 3 After this I got my gladiators, mamas proud.
Hey! I'm busy with work these days but in the next couple years I'd like to push the game onto Steam as a free game, with possibility of maybe some paid expansions to add bonus features.
This is entirely my fault. There's a debug key (Z) which I use to test the ragdolling and causes the bird to fall asleep until they die. I forgot to take it out of the release and it has left lots of people confused.
Make sure you downloaded the Mac OS version of the game! (Some people have downloaded the Windows dev-build version by accident) It should be a .zip file called "BBE_0.2.1_Mac.zip" which you need to extract. Inside the extracted folder is the BBE app it should be as simple as running it at that point.
Let me know if you have any issues! (I don't actually own a Mac device so I can't verify this myself.)
Development is slowed because I'm trying to pay rent, but you can check out development progress on the Discord! Next update is going to be big but it may be a while as I sort out other things in my life.
If you're looking for a full list there is a window which pops up prior to launching the game where you can see all the bindings and change them as you'd like.
Default is WASD + your mouse for the primary controls! Currently grabbing and using objects isn't implemented even though buttons exist for those functions.
Alright. I recommend you remove the Linux tag because Linux doesn't run EXE files and considering you don't know how to run it in Linux I suppose you just assume Linux users will do the same operation as windows users. It cannot be run in Linux.
Sorry for the late reply. Make sure you've downloaded the Linux version (0.2.1). The Linux version does not include a .exe file like you mentioned, and instead has a .x86_64 file. It's possible you downloaded the Windows version of the latest Dev Build (0.2.2).
Starting the .x86_64 file requires you to mark it as a program, and then run through the terminal. Depending on your distro this may look different, but this is what worked for me (Look for Kiri's answer):
Holy shit... This game, and your presentation of it here on Itch.io, has literally left me in awe. I don't know where to start as far as conveying just how impressed I am, and how excited I am to watch the development process anticipating its eventual release. Bravo dude! Bird by Example may just be my current favorite project to keep an eye on.
Thank you for all the encouragement! And special thanks for your support on Patreon! I've already added your name to the Patreon temple in Bird by Example so you'll be immortalized within the game!

deADbird in atesting tubecool partyThis game needs to keep being updated my bird children cant fall behind you dont understand this is vital to their SATs

I'm glad you do! Haven't given up — life (rent) has just gotten in the way of being able to expend my limited energy on this.
It means a lot that you like the alpha, and your comment makes me want to keep working when I get moments. Thanks for playing :))
That makes sense, definitely take care of yourself and life first! Thanks for making the game too, I still keep it in my thoughts!!! :D
This was an interesting game for sure!
Haven't played this in a while, I wonder what I can do now.
iii ehhhhh ahhehhhh iiii , ehhhhhhhh ehmmmm ehhh , bird?

- This game is free!
-And it's called the free market! Please settle down.
Wait, are the birds an IA? Are we teaching it, working for free on a tool that we don't even know what it will be used for? ^^;
they already are killing themselves
uh the camera is hard to see thorugh
Bird by Example is in the process of releasing on Steam as a free to play game! I will also update the game here.
here are some suggestions
All of this is on the development list (in some form), except for building!
It has been two years. And yet this has come.
yyes
How do I eat?
u cant if theres a eating button that will be great
I've seen this game before, but it's nice to know the birds can do things, just not immediately.
This is great! I was able to make the AI's be almost perfect gladiators!
This is how I did it.
Start off with punching and moving.
Killed the passive ones.
Killed the immobile ones.
Killed the jumping ones.
(repeat around 5 times ;w;)
Wait a few hours/go afk but still check in.
Repeat steps 1 2 and 3
After this I got my gladiators, mamas proud.

Please continue development of this artistic masterpiece. It is vitally important.
Thank you! I'm working on it. Looking at getting some funding because it's quite difficult to live off this project.
Entirely fair. Good luck, stay determined!
Thanks friend! I'll do my best!
Can u make this game like a funny RPG and u like fight other monsters and stuff. U don't have to its just a suggestion
RPG mechanics are planned! I'm going to begin with eating and item use and then start combat and enemy mobs.
I will now follow this game until it is finished im very exited
Also when this does become a full game do u thik we are going to have to pay for?

I’ve been stuck on sleep everytime I fall or something how do I unsleep QAQ
This is entirely my fault. There's a debug key (Z) which I use to test the ragdolling and causes the bird to fall asleep until they die. I forgot to take it out of the release and it has left lots of people confused.
I questioned my life after playing this.
The best part of the game is th Q&A.
pleas tell me how to run it on macos pls for the love of god.

What are the controls
If you're looking for a full list there is a window which pops up prior to launching the game where you can see all the bindings and change them as you'd like.
Default is WASD + your mouse for the primary controls! Currently grabbing and using objects isn't implemented even though buttons exist for those functions.

Quite possible I did. Thanks.
Can they...not have these weird arms please? (Why do they have to look so virile and...clunky? Why can't they look agile? Why am I here???)
arms make bird better
(TへT)
yesh
the birds just end up being idiotic morons and dieing over and over and over AND I LOVE IT
please finish the game i can't wait for the fully developed version of this game.
sorry i can't support you on patreon (yet).
Hahaha so glad you enjoyed the primordial birds.
I'm coding the next update right now, so stay tuned!
