@TheDragonlover99 You can land in trees; there is an achievement for doing so (bronze for raven, silver for falcon, gold for swan). Making nests is not in the game because the characters are actually humans who can transform into birds; you get to see them in human form in the cutscenes.
@huSzke I'd like to but it's impossible to predict how much time I will have to work on the game. Development has taken so long because I do it in my spare time and sometimes I'm too busy with work or family to work on it.
@ailienwolf The smallest bird in the game is the peregrine falcon. The engine actually doesn't work well for really small birds, they have significantly different aerodynamics (e.g. significant inter-wing interactions) which the current flight model does not include.
Windhaven has perching in trees but not building nests, because although the physics are quite realistic it is more of a fantasy game (combat and soaring/racing challenges) than a realistic bird simulation. However if Windhaven is successful I might make a follow-up game that uses the same engine but with more natural behavior.
@StargliderX Really?! OMG that would be awesome!!! Fly like a bird 3 kinda failz at the moment.. needs more realistic flying and needs prey for birds to catch. COME ON PEOPLEZ! GET DAH GAME! >:D
@VideoAdventurer The map size is twelve square kilometers (hexagonal). The limitation is mainly the 150 MB XNA download size limit, of which music & dialogue takes up 120 MB. The maps can't be too large as that would make getting around in the arcade / story missions tedious.
@tonyyu1237 Windhaven is still in development, but should be released on Xbox 360 early next year. I don't have a PC release date yet, please subscribe to my channel to receive updates.
I can hardly, believe that I'm actually friends with the person who made this game. It's hard to believe but, certainly true OH MY GOD I am so exited about this game coming out!!
@velociraptornessa777 Landing wasn't implemented when I made this video. It is in the current version of the game; I will make a new video showing that in the near future.
@bridestar97 Ground and water landings and takeoffs are implemented (only the swan and albatross can land on water). Perching in trees and making nests are on the 'would be nice' list; at the moment I am focused on the story-mode gameplay rather than the simulation mode.
.you are my HERO!!!! ive been searching for a game like this since i was like. what 8 thank you thank you thank you thank you!!! and seriously anyone who thinks this game is retarded think about how long this took. how much money was required to make it. your just lucky enough that there are some decent men and women who would take time out of their lives to make a game for everyone!!!
@StargliderX why not make the control of the wings by the mouse i dunno maybe no click and u flap both u click the left mouse button and flap the left wing and viceversa there was a game that used that kind of control but the theme was swords it was called determinance and also diw by the sword nice games u could use the same systmeor whatever but for flaping the wings
@Erik1495 that controls could be awesome to PC :D but maby flap both wings with space bar? and left witg with left mouse click and right with right mouse click ?
It took thousands of hours of work and a fair amount of money to make the game. Between the challenges, story and multiplayer it should have at least ten hours of gameplay, more if you like to replay on harder difficulties. I think any reasonable would pay $5 for that, if they enjoyed the demo.
Provisional requirements for the PC version are a dual core processor of 2 GHz or better, and a DirectX 9c capable graphics card (Geforce 7 series / ATI R520 series or better).
Thanks. Pretty good I think, development only started in mid-December and the game is approaching 50% complete. The main variable is whether I include online multiplayer (co-op and vs), that could easily take another month to develop and debug.
just make sure you back it up... cant remember how often I f***d up trying to add a major thing and then it turns out that the whole game code just doesnt work anymore and is beyond repair... ^-^... ill try this game too... cant buy it though as I cannot get any MS points and desperately need all the money I can get lol
I'd strongly suggest using a source control system; I use SVN. This allows you to revert to any previous version at any time. The main purpose of such systems is actually to support group development, although this is a solo project.
This looks like a funner game rather than WolfQuest because WQ 2.5 glitches on me
