Making a game, with a bird watching minigame!

[pycthedragon]

I'm making a game where there is a minigame inside of it where you can find birds. Since I grew up near metro Detroit, the avifauna is based on this region.

Basically what happens is when you see a bird on the overworld, if you are close enough, you can open the field guide to add it before it flies away.

I wanted to show off some screenshots and see what people here think!

(yeah I know some of them don't have the right feet, shhhhh! I need to keep the polygon count real low!)

There's also a part where you can release birds from a pet store - essentially there is an apocalypse and if you don't free them they'll die. If you free them, you can add a bunch of parrot species to the bird guide as well.

PS.
No wonder you are/were so analytical about parrot toes and feet, in your prir thread... love it!

This is a wonderful idea! I would use it! In fact I could have used it for the last few years.

I'd use it if it's mobile (don't have computer)
If it isn't mobile I'd use it if I had a computer.

It's a minigame in a full video game, but maybe I should make a separate thing that just has the bird guide too. lol
