May/June Update
Added 2021-06-16 01:13:51 +0000 UTCSO YEAH! Some stuff happened. I can finally talk about STUFF.
First - our release date announce hit. On August 12th, for $19.99 US buckaroos, you can be a skateboarding birb on PC (Steam & Itch), Xbox, Switch, and Luna. Well, unless you're on Game Pass, in which case $0 buckaroos! The trailer went wild on IGN and everywhere else in E3, you probably saw it, but if not, hey check this out! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bEaCMxJ4Yts
Next up, we were in the Wholesome Games showcase! Got to talk a little about accessibility features in the game. You can see that spot over here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Mw8KzfC1OU
Finally, we were in the Limited Run Games showcase, cus we're getting a physical edition! You can watch that right here: https://youtu.be/Xx2Puaa2JKg?t=787
Oh and MUSIC STUFF. So much music stuff:
SkateBIRD OST launched! Buy it over here (or Spotify, but hey support our musician!): https://madsenstudios.bandcamp.com/album/skatebird-official-video-game-soundtrack
HolyWOW SkateBIRD Album! They just... did a fun little chip album! Yes it's in the game too: https://holywow.bandcamp.com/album/songs-for-skatebird
Spotify playlist of the We Are The Union / Illicit Nature / Grave Danger tracks from the game? Yeah they put that together too (also please support the groups tho so maybe go buy some merch)! https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2Blc4XJqT01IsCJqNdsXSG?si=c33241fa00c94a67
...aaaaand that about covers it! Lining that up was a heck of a lot of work, and now we're neck deep in console submissions, so that's kinda all I've got time to cover today. Still though! WE'RE ALMOST THERE!
Patreon Stuff
Sorry about the total lack of Patreon-specific stuff here. Working on it. Like I warned folks, we've very much entered the BUSY ZONE here, so there will likely be a few months where we miss polls, don't do code posts, that kind of thing. But also AAAAA GAME ALMOST DONE AAAA YAY.
We are still adding birds though! Parrotlet just went in today. That was one a lot of folks had asked for, but didn't seem likely to win, so we stuffed it in.

The Quaker Parrot was another like that:

Comments
I watched pretty much every E3 showcase. Glad to see the bird show up at more than one showcase. Congrats on the physical release and streaming release as well.
