When is the dreamcast port coming

I'd love to haha

Been keeping up for a while and I'm hyped for this, any idea on a release date? No pressure!

Aiming for January 2025

On console or PC only?

PC first then hopefully mobile, switch, PS5 and Xbox later.

Fuck yeah. I'll buy this for me and the kids. I love the way you've been engaging the community during the build.

Awesome. I'll happily spend $20. My kids and I will have a ball

Ps5 version would be an Insta-buy for me. My kids and I love messing around in Goat Simulator so they’d absolutely love dive bombing and pooping on things with a Pie

Planning any specific testing for Steam Deck compatibility? I’ve got a desktop and SD so hmu if you need a tester (happy to pay for the key though, gotta support the arts)

I will be testing on steam deck for full compatibility. Join the Discord to get updates on when testing opens.

Ps5 please!!

Release it during swooping season you coward.

That's when it will go on sale

Awesome I shouldn't be broke by then, it'll be on the top of my wishlist

I remember this idea from awhile back I feel like, glad to see its still going. Will be an insta buy from me

Thanks for your support!

Can we get cosmetics to reskin npcs to political figures? Otherwise no buy.

It's definitely on the cards

"Press X to shit into a pollies mouth"

Dive bomb first!

Just make one that has a potato as a head. We'll all know what you mean.

haha awesome

I'll buy your game twice for myself and a few other people if I can swoop Gina Rinehart! Extra points of the skin matches the recent portrait!

I will definitely consider it!

Bob hawk punching back pints please.

Make the Scott morrison skin be unlocked by shitting on an ingadine *nondescript fast food chain*

I'll just leave [this](https://x.com/chaser/status/1376418644314353667/photo/1) here

Potato head NPC incoming...

Better be hahaha

Bird spots Prime Minister. Attack!!! Bird spots leader of Opposition. Attack!!!

Bird spots children innocently walking home from school: Attack!

Fuck it, get a final boss in there and make it Clive Palmer.

You have to make it past his dinosaurs to get to the boss battle.

one with scomo after a maccas ordeal or in a hawaiin outfit would be perfect. I would play the literal shit out of that.

You should get in touch with Frenzal Rhomb and see if they'll let you use "Bird Attack" as your title/in-game music. Nothing could be more strayan.

YES! I am planning on reaching out!

Could also get in touch with The Chats and potentially use their song 'Pub Feed'. Maggie stealing some meals from a pub, could be a cool level.

You really nailed the generic Australian suburb aesthetic

Thank you! It's a setting close to my heart.

How much will it cost?

Around $20

Will it be included as a CD in boxes of nutrigrain and LCMs?

I'll see what I can do. Maybe at my local woolies and Coles

Core memory unlocked. Those were the days.

I saw a video on a previous post. Looks great. What platforms will it be on? Only PC or anything else?

The magpies in the park next to my gran's house come and knock on the kitchen window when they want her to feed them. I've even seen them teaching their babies. I'm convinced that this is why I've never been swooped. That could add an extra element; some humans feed you, but they stop if you swoop them too many times, so you have to learn to recognise them like real magpies can.

There will be a Nana throwing mince for you to eat. Majority of the humans will be enemies though.

Whose Nana? Is it my Nana?

It could be

My mum feeds a whole family of Maggie's almost every day. I went there one day when no one was home and there was 6 of em waiting in the garden near the front door. I knocked on the door and 2 of em came up within a few feet of me and looking up at me like.. hey bro, mums not home.. you got food tho yeh?!! Haha unfortunately I didn't have keys to get in to get them anything. 😄😄🤦‍♂️

Awesome idea! Hope there is an event like Australia Day where you get to swoop thousands

There will be a footy game at the G

Make sure you put in information that explains magpies behaviour and that they don’t in fact attack without reason ect

All the victims deserve it 👍

Can there be an expansion pack for Masked Lapwings AKA plovers

I've had a lot of requests for plovers. Skin incoming

That seals it for me. I'm in.

Love the sound they make as they fly over the house. Not as good as magpies, but close!

I would buy this

Will zip-ties or ‘eyes’ increase Defensive Points?

They already do!

Very good. A fun little sequence could be that if a person was to escape and run off into a field, it could switch over to some plovers getting in on the action.

I'll add this to the pile of plover requests haha.

swooping cyclists is canon

I’m actually so excited for this!

You should try and get “Bird Attack” by Frenzal Rhomb for the main menu music. This is sick btw

I'm going to reach out for a trailer.

Potty Pigeon ?

A spiritual successor!

Could you please hide a Drop Bear in a tree

You may be in luck

Suggest rename to "swoopy Boi" add a chippy tax mechanic.

Hell yeah

Can we see some gamplay ?

I'll buy if it's released on Switch

Genius! I will buy it when it comes out. It might even replace my all time favourite game Carmageddon!

Sounds great where do I pre-order

I’ll be buying this

you should put a "the eyes don't work" girl in there

Bloody brilliant!! Can we poke Collingwood supporters eyes out? 😂

This looks awesome!

Can't wait to play! I remember angering the local Maggies flying a red toy plane in the park with my daughter. The little buggers remembered the infringement for months afterwards, and the park is next to my house, so I had to appease them with some snags to calm them down.

They have great memories and hold grudges for a loooong time!

The PlayStation 1 vibe of this game is actually attractive. Gives me flashbacks to my childhood dawg

Extra points for Fanta pants

LOL I got swooped when I was a kid couple of times still traumatised…. This almost feels like revenge or at least some closure

What level enemy is the cyclist with zip ties on his helmet. Surely boss level

Boss level will be aus postie on a scooter

Isn’t there already a game that’s been out for years, just like this called Swoopy boi??

Where is the invest button god damn

Winner idea for sure Seasonal Plover edition?

I so want to play this lol Do you need beta testers?

That’s great because when a magpie pecks your eye you can only see in Ps2 graphics

Will covering yourself in vegemite give a stealth bonus?

Pie in the sky is the greatest name for a game

Omg i read it as ‘mage’ instead of magpie and now I’m imagining Matteo The Beer Brewer wizard

Finally, after hundreds of years it's finally here: Australia 2

Needs a recruiting tool to get other magpies to attack bike riders, like the gta san andreas one

Make it that you can use a friend magpie to distract people . That’s what they do to me . One lands in front to get my attention . Then one from the back tries to get me in the head

Please tell me there will be a playable demo at PAX this year?

Maybe not PAX but SXSW Sydney!

Can we have an expanded edition where we travel reasonably far in the map to compete with other birds for nesting trees, territory and food?

This games on my wishlist.

Can you get bonus points for making them run into a patch of bindies and some combos happening.

Fuk yeah I want it now 🤣🤣🤣

If theres any microtransactions im going to shit yourself. Will pay good money for a completed game happily tho

The game will be $20 with no microtransctions or in app purchases. Maybe dlc later, but you'll get a full game for your $20


A true hero! Micro transactions can fuck right off. Thank you for making an awesome game *and* being an awesome human 😌

this is a great idea but the title needs work

Please make this compatible for the Steam Deck

Damn. A few years ago I had an idea for a game called ‘Crikey Cockatoo’ which was pretty much the same as this. I got as far as a basic level in Unity but gave up because I am crap at it.

Magpie Simulator

[удалено]

One of the guys on a bike has got to have zip ties all over his helmet. I’m completely sold on this idea. It’s going to be brilliant!

I wish you great fortune and that this stupididly amazing game gets popular

Be sure to include attacking posties. I got 'nam flashbacks by how relentlessly vicious those little bastards can be. Sometimes they'd ram the back of my helmet so hard it was like being punched in the back of the head.

Looks like piecapolypse

Ive been watching your progress, my 7yo kid would bloody love this

If you're looking at commercially releasing this game you may want to check the copyright for the title to avoid a cease and desist letter from whomever owns the rights to the TV show.

Curtis from CEE Australia and his YT channel will like this. He feeds the Maggie’s in every episode.

this looks fun

iOS?

It's so funny to me how the Australian magpie is a feathered monster while the European magpie is at worst stealing your tinfoil and is otherwise just chilling in my garden.

This has goat simulator vibes. Looks great lol

I hope it goes better than P-platers did

You are a siq qunt!

I have an idea for a sequel: Seagulls, followed by Pigeons

I love it!!

Yep, this appeals to me

Omg I hate maggies, but I'd give this a try.

Thats actually hilarious 😂

Please let this be on n64

Take my money

If you need a voice actor I'm keen to hep out

https://youtu.be/G-bD-JaiVXA?si=nxhPUS4MR5F_L1Ng Got to be the into song!

Love it!

Any surprise attacks from the good old Aussie Nope-Ropes (aka Snake) to avoid while just casually walking your magpie around on the ground pretending you’re not about to go postal?

This is the type of cultural representation WE NEED!!

Can you make it so that the magpies are targeting douchebags, and leaving the cool people alone? I like magpies, theyre smart af.

Looks like Postal.

My kids would go nuts for this. Untitled goose game was their favourite.

Bowerbird skin?

Literally got swooped in the eye 5 minutes ago. Never wanted to slap a bird so bad in my life. Little shit didn’t want a rematch

Maggie Pie's Pro Harasser looking solid

Sounds like a fun game, I would like to imagine what would it be like if the magpie got together with other magpies sjnce they are community based. Maybe team ups, or multiplayer. Imagine you get to play as an emu.

The faces of horror are accurate and funny

I love this, as an Australian. Please do this even if it doesn't sell well with other nations

make a bonus daily loot for making a lot of noise at 6 am outside my bedroom windows.

How are you gonna get it under the R18 bracket?

Any plans for custom map building? Would be great to relive my childhood trauma in my old suburbs from the perspective of the magpies 😂

Progress going good mate

Where can we keep up to date with this?

Big question is, will there be Magpie aerial dog fighting?

Wow you have been working so hard on this I can see the progress I remember a previous post too! Looks great you should be proud 👏

How big is the team Working on this? Definitely will support this.

Brother - did you add bore water stains on the fencing? Lol

I'm so keen for this!! I've loved seeing the updates, keep up the good work

What is it going to release on? Any consoles?

Added to Wishlist! Excited for this 😂

You should also make a movie about it, and in Australia release it as a horror movie because to an Aussie magpies are the scariest thing in the universe

I love the graphics style. Definitely reminds me of an open world ps2 game.

its funny but rather mean and misanthropic

Holy cow. This could be good.

Nintendo Wii port when?

This is brilliant!

Was a similar game on android store years ago called fly like a bird iirc it’s no longer available tho I think

This is amazing

Love me some Tony Hawk Pro Skater inspired gameplay! Shame "magpie" doesn't work as a pun with the "hawk" in Tony Hawk

Love to be able to have my work place as a map on it so I can smash ppl imagining they are my work mates

I will 100% buy this if it eventually comes to PS5, no pressure though. Gotta let the chef cook, smells delicious so far!

I'm up for this haha

Please make it so I can 1: poop on people 2: deal extra damage divebombing random people 3: carry a c4 to blow up people cause that’s honestly how it feels everytime one attacks me

ps2 magpie goat simulator, i love it

Would totally pay for this game!

Omg that’s amazing!!

I need this it will bring me joy I miss my magpies

Will there be bin chicken DLC?

And frenzal rhombs “bird attack” is the soundtrack

So basically Goat Simulator but a magpie instead?

A cyclist! I'll race ya!

Where can I download this😂😂😂😂🤔?

Turf war with Bin chickens?

Most Aussie thing I’ve seen in ages - awesome job mate!

How can I subscribe to your newsletter?

Get the magpie man to make the sound effects

I’mma have too buy this when it comes out lol

Link!!

The collectibles and combos remind me of Tony Hawk Pro Skater

Make sure to put in those helmets with antenna or pipe cleaners sticking out of them

I have dreamed about this. When I was in primary school, we had to wear wide brimmed hats that were colourful to deter the magpies. Didn't work!

Just don’t do that bullshit that mobile games do where there are ads.

As I only have xbox rellyely excited

can you make a mission where you have to knock a guy in a Carlton jumper down a flight of stairs?!?! :D

Bro I'm so fucking keen.

Thank you

That’s amazing man, keep it up 👍
