Hi! My name's Bernie, and I just RELEASED A GAME! A Story About Birds is a cosy short-form game about exploration and building, in which you gather resources and build cute shelters for birds roaming the farm. You can buy it RIGHT NOW on Steam! 28 comments
 @partnano I bought it but I couldn't get it to start on proton. I was running my Legion Go hotspotting from cellular though it's possible it didn't download properly. Will try on my desktop in a bit. @BobDendry Sounds a bit like a download issue, but I don't have a Linux machine or proton to test. Though I haven't heard anything contrarian so far, and one review even was from a Steam Deck! If there are any issues, let me know :) @partnano thanks, yeah the error was around the game executable being missing so definitely seemed like something was missing 😅  @odin Thank you! I hope everything works as intended - this is my first time doing it alone, and I admit I'm nervous! haha  @tripplehelix ah damn, I'm sorry! They will be enabled (and properly marked on the store page) at some point though! @tripplehelix Probably the experimental linux export haha @partnano - Birdman isn't happy, even though I've given him two tea houses. Might be an issue with me not finding the exact spot he wants his house built in. I was never told I could build outside the fenced area. Otherwise, it's a nice little game. The DDR does take away from it a bit. Absolutely love the art, really is awesome. 2/2 @tripplehelix The game was so much shorter even a few weeks ago, so that saving never really made the to-do list. It thought about it quite a bit, but in the end decided against full on level saving for the sake of finally releasing the thing. 😅 @partnano@gamedev.place ~/G/S/s/c/A Story About Birds These are the Linux bin files that work. Seems what ever the first option is, is the Windows EXE files which weren't even downloaded? Or not.... those files run under wine and when run straight. @tripplehelix I honestly don't know what happened, as the Linux downloads shouldn't be enabled, but these are the mysteries of the Steamworks backend. I've tested it on multiple machines (thoguh macos and windows only) and it worked without issues on those ... will investigate the Linux side of things soon! Thank you for playing and thank you for the feedback! |

This is my first game to release commercially.
If you buy this game and be vocal about it, you help a real person trying his very best to make this solo game dev adventure a liveable thing.
I'm far from done, there is a lot more to come in the future.
I hope you'll like it.
