Fugl – Meditative bird flying game (tuxdb.com)

2nd friday update! (Saturday actually)

Ok, so this week wasnt any less busy for Team Fugl, but we hope to be back to an early friday release next week! This is what we did this week:

OpenGL stablility fixes on PC
Fugl now runs on Mac integrated graphics
Completely new ground movement, much more fluid and fun! No more getting stuck!
New hover mechanic. Use left trigger to hover when speed is low.
New field of view slider
New distance to bird slider
Classic mode (in graphics setting) to squeeze out some extra fps
Fixed camera getting stuck
Fixed avatar not morhing back
Added option to ignore controllers

New fish avatars:

Salmon
Mahi-mahi
Great white Shark
Saw Shark
Goblin Shark
Thresher Shark
Tiger Shark
Hammer head Shark
Bull Shark
Bonnet head Shark
Green Bass
Brown Bass

The coming days we hope to hotfix a few remaining, but very irritating issues, like the sound stutters in some biomes. We're also working on Linux support, hopefully we'll have something to show in the coming week. Biggest thing next week is the start of a complete overhaul of the level structure. We're putting the endless mode on the backburner, and instead focus on discrete levels of various sizes. We'll have many level slots so we can switch out levels for people who can't run the terrain generation themselves. This will also make the level editor much easier to understand, as what you see is what you'll get. We also hope to get started on a new morphing mechanic, where right shoulder button morph towards a close by animal, and left shoulder button morphs backwards in time (to undo changes). As always, please let us know in the comments how we're doing and what you'e missing! Cheers, Johan Team Fugl

Team Fugl

Developer

Release

Indie Casual RPG Simulation Singleplayer EA

PLEASE NOTE

Fugl is currently in alpha, meaning we are still adding new features to the game and improving stability and performance. We are looking for players who want to play the early version of the game, and hopefully also get involved in its development.

WHAT IS FUGL?

Fugl is a sandbox game where you create the story, playing as a shape-shifting bird. Relax and feel the breeze under your wings as you glide serenely across picturesque landscapes, or kick up the excitement and soar up steep cliffs like an eagle. With no set rules the free roaming gameplay lets you discover the beauty and secrets of the world at your own pace and dares you to make your own meaning for a stress-free experience.

Fugl’s world is a vast and unique voxel playground. It is procedurally generated yet carefully crafted, with diverse areas to explore, from icy wind blown caves to tropical paradises to great deserts and old growth forests. Each environment is rich in diverse wildlife with hundreds of animals to find. You may even be lucky enough to stumble across rare mythical creatures. Come close to any of these creatures and you have the chance to take on new visual characteristics and flying behaviours inspired by them.

Give the world of Fugl your own creative touch by personalising it in the extensive level creator and craft your custom bird in the avatar editor.

ROADMAP

We are very proud of what we have accomplished so far, but we still have a few things we'd like to add to the game, before we come out of Early Access. The following are features that we'd really like to add, but everything is subject to change as development is still on-going.

Feel Free as a Bird

Expand on the core experience of flying: Add wind, thermals, clouds, day/night-cycle and diffrent kinds of weather.
Just as there are many different types of birds, we'd like to be able to support many different ways of enjoying life as a bird in Fugl. Some are looking for a more chilled experienced, and some for a frantic challenging experience. We are working on ways to support different modes of play.
Birds can do more than just glide on the winds, break, speed up or hop on the ground and we want to support as many special manoeuvres and abilities as we can!
Fugl is not the only living thing in the world. We want the wildlife to be able to influence you, and you to influence them!

A Living World
The animals in Fugl are really important for providing a sense of life, interaction and immersion in the world.

Improved AI For the animals
Better physics For the animals
Physics interactions between the player and the animals
Faster and improved distribution of animals in the world
Animal motivations to make them more interesting to interact with
More animations

Environments & Level Creator

Steam Workshop integration for the level creator
Support for more procedurally generated content
More support for user generated content like voxel models

Rendering, Hardware and Platforms

Linux Support
We are old-school so we are still looking to improve performance and reduce memory requirements wherever we can!
We still have a few rendering tricks up our sleeve that we are working on
