[h3]You're Planning a Watch Party?[/h3]

Okay, got ya! Important moments have to be celebrated, we see it the same way. And people certainly invited neighbors and friends to their homes for other significant events (moon landing ... invention of fire ... you name it). So let's get prepared. Here are a few safety tips in advance:

• 🚀 Please fasten your seat belts. We fly through the game news at the speed of light.
  
• 👩‍🚀 Check your equipment - recommended are: spacesuit, helmet, woolen socks and cozy blanket.
  
• 🥨 Do not let your potato chips and crackers fly carelessly through space in zero gravity - they could be eaten by your friends.
  
• 🐔 If you plan to invite bird buddies of yours, remember to get a remote control that can be operated by beak.
  
• 📱 Too late to invite people over? Do not dispair. Hop on over to our socials and join us there while waiting for Star Birds.
  

We are thrilled, and hope to see many of you at Triple-i. Who will join us on this exciting mission?

On Graecie's channel you will find games that spread a cozy vibe. The videos put you in a friendly, comforting place. It's the first time that Graecie has invited developers to a talk - so it's both, a bit of an experiment for her and a great honor for us.

[h3]What's on?[/h3]
In the stream, we plan to show you exclusive gameplay footage. Become part of the development process of Star Birds, and feel the vastness of space as you discover new asteroids with Toukana Co-Founder and Tech Art Lead Zwi. Still having some questions? Ask us in the live chat!


We're quite nervous to finally show you more of Star Birds and would be comforted if many Toucans supported us in the live stream. Let's bring a cozy blanket (if it's evening at your place), a lovely cup of tea (if it's morning where you are watching), and lots of love for the existing community on Graecie's channels. 🍵🧦🌞

First stream in English! Save the date: We will be guests on the channel of Spuzie, and give you exclusive insights into the current development status of Star Birds.

On the channels of Spuzie, you find a variety of content, from LoL over boardgames to indie treasures. It's not a common for Spuzie to invite developers over to his channels - therefore, this co-playing session is a great honor for us. We are looking forward to a joyful Star Birds talk, especially as we love Spuzie's IRL vlogs. It will be a livestream with lots of firsts. Join us for this very special (streaming) adventure.

[h3]What's on?[/h3]
In the stream, we will be showing you exclusive gameplay footage. It's still a little too early for story cutscenes as we want to avoid spoilers, but you will get an idea of the core gameplay loop. Zwi, Toukana Co-Founder and Tech Art Lead, will guide you through the early tutorial levels and answer your questions in the live chat. Be part of the game, right from this early alpha build to the final release.


It's very exciting to finally show you more of Star Birds and would be comforted if many Toucans supported us in the live stream. Let's bring a good vibe, curiosity for the game and lots of love for the existing community on Spuzie's channels. 🧡🚀

Thanks for the invite! Thanks for joining! 🙏

Save the Date: We will be guests on the channel of Nils, and give you exclusive insights into the current development status of Star Birds. The interview language will be German. English-language interviews are already being scheduled and will follow very soon.




[h3]About the Stream[/h3]

• 🕗 When? March 30, 6PM CEST
• 🗨 Language? German (Don't Worry, English Gameplay Streams Will Follow Next Week)
• 👋 Where to Join? On Twitch and YouTube

On the channels of Nils you will find base building and survival games. The videos usually have an explorative, light-footed vibe - just tune in and come along. Nils is the founder and host of the gaming broadcast station Rocket Beans TV. So hopefully he'll have our backs during the interview talk. 😉

[h3]What's on?[/h3]
The stream will feature fresh gameplay footage. Plus: Toukana Co-Founder and Managing Director, Sandro, will report on the dev process. If you like, take the chance to ask your questions in the chat! We're happy to hear your feedback and thoughts.

Since some of you have asked: The languages in which the gameplay streams take place are in no particular order. We asked our streaming partners which date suits them best and based our decision on their calendars. The fact that the English-language streams are still a few days away is for banal scheduling reasons. No mystery behind it, thanks for your patience. 😊

We’re excited but also a little nervous to share more of Star Birds with you. It would mean a lot to have the support of many Toucans in the livestream. We’re looking forward to creating a fun atmosphere filled with shared curiosity about the game - therefore: Send our best regards to our host, lots of love to Nils' community, and if you get the chance: Check if Sandro is wearing his Duck socks. 🦆🐓🐦

Thanks for the invite! Thanks for joining! 🙏
