Wingspan News

Chirp chirp, birders!

Today's patch is like a warbler - it's not a big one, but it's cute and fluffy. Can updates be cute and fluffy, you ask? Sure they can, as long as they bring something new and make something better. This update's just that.

Here are the details:

• Features:
  - Hard AI (beta) option added
  
  
• Misc:
  - Improved performance on weaker devices
  

Test your habitat creating prowess against the hard AI now and see who comes out on top! Be aware though - this thing's not a cute fluffy warbler!

Do you hear that?

Someone... something's knocking on the window. You try to see what it is, but you can't. The thick fog outside, illuminated only by the faint candlelight of the Halloween pumpkin on the windowsill, makes it hard to distinguish shapes. As you get closer, the silhouette becomes sharper, clearer. A chill goes down your spine. You might not have been expecting it, but it's here nonetheless...

The Wingspan Halloween update! It's big and spooky and if you're expecting treats, it's got plenty!

• NEW MODE: Champ of the Birds - this completely new game mode is a weekly ladder for those of you birders who like to compete. Each week, you face an entirely new Automa challenge. Once you beat it, your score is saved and at the end of each week, the person who managed to score the most points is crowned as the Champ of the Birds!
  
  
• Halloween background - this sinister, foggy landscape will be available in the game for the duration of the Halloween event.
  
  
• Bugfixes:
  - fix for playing a second bird via bird power on the overview screen
  - fix for "repeat a brown power" on the overview screen
  - cards on the Automa screen that should not be clickable are no longer clickable
  - fix for some typos
  - fix for warning popups on overview screen
  
  
• Misc:
  - Chinese voice over and card fixes (some birds have better names now)
  

And remember - don't get spooked... if you get hooked (on playing Wingspan)!

We hope you enjoy the new mode and the fixes make the experience better. As always, let us know if there's anything we might help with. Also, be sure to join our fantastic Discord community - discord.gg/wingspan.

Contest time!

2 quite unusual birds flew in today, but there's something missing. We can't quite put a finger on it. They're dressed and equipped, which is perfectly normal for birds in this day and age, but something's still amiss... They need names! And since these are Wingspan birds, they need abilities, too. And that's where YOU come in.

Head on over to our Discord channel - DISCORD.GG/WINGSPAN - to take part in a contest celebrating the Steam Digital Tabletop Fest that wouldn't fly anywhere else!

Your task is simple - give the 2 feathery fellows names and abilities for a chance to win a Wingspan Steam key or a Wingspan Soundtrack Steam key! You've got time until Monday and all info, as well as the place to post your submissions, can be found on the above Discord channel.

No time to waste! Head to our Discord channel and submit your idea!
