Flock Around

Hello Birders! We have just released Steam Community Items for Flock Around! Now you can earn trading cards of some of your favourite birds, craft cool badges, and buy beautiful new profile backgrounds in the points shop: https://store.steampowered.com/points/shop/app/3618030 We'll have more news coming soon about the next map and mod support!

Hello Birders! Today we have a big update for you that has been in the works for a while. This patch addresses a lot of the feedback we've heard over the past couple of months and we hope it makes the game feel even better! We are really proud of Emu Island but we felt like it was missing something, so we've added birds to increase the content in the DLC. For those of you running out of ways to get money and having a lack of things to do once the guidebook is complete, we have a brand new quest system! Finally for those still on the shiny hunt, we have a major quality of life improvement to ho

Hello Birders! Emu Island, the first DLC for Flock Around is available NOW! We hope you all enjoy exploring the new biomes and encountering all the birds! 1.1.8 New Feature: Pins (Base Game) There is a new cosmetic type: The Pin Instead of buying pins, you unlock them by completing the Big/Giant/Enormous Year achievements as well as the Shiny Birds achievement. If you already have these achievements in Goose Lake, you will already have some Pins. A new batch of pins will be added for each new map (including Emu Island!) Pins are NOT required for the "Dripped Out" achievement. New Map: Emu Isla

Hello birders, this morning we have another update for you that adds a much requested item! 1.0.61 New Item: Selfie Stick! There's a new item that can be found at the Bluff's shop. This way you can take photos of your cool outfits, snap a picture of a bird on your head, and take selfies with friends! Linux Native Build We have an official Native Linux build! Hopefully this means a better, more stable experience for Steam Deck(*) and Linux Desktop players! (*) Steam Deck seems to only see the Proton (Windows) build still, we might need Valve to re-evaluate the game to get the Linux build showin

Hello Birders! We've been hard at work on a new region map (we'll have more info soon!), but ahead of that we have a new update for you all. By popular demand, the American Woodcock (along with a few other birds) dances its way into Goose Lake! Patch 1.0.47 NEW BIRDS 5 new birds have found their way into Goose Lake! We've got: Black Chinned Hummingbird, Golden Eagle, Mourning Dove, Pileated Woodpecker, and the vagrant (but requested so often it would be silly NOT to include...) American Woodcock. (spoiler on the last bird in the list): American Woodcock has a special animation for walking alon

Hello Birders! Today we have another patch that includes a variety of quality of life features, requested tweaks, and more bug fixes! We just wanted to give everyone a heads up that things might slow down a bit until mid-June, as now that the game is in a stable state for the vast majoirty of players, the team is going to take some much needed time off. We'll still be monitoring the server and steam discussion forums, but don't expect us to reply with the speed we have been the last few weeks. Patch 1.0.31 Major Feature: Warp Totems! Each biome's shop now has a new section. Currently the only

Hey Birders, We have fixed the duplicate-host bug that a lot of you have been seeing. We've decided to package the fix with a bunch of other tweaks that we had in the hopper. Hope you enjoy! 1.0.28 Small Features Proactive Save Backups: The game now makes rotating backups of your save data, so if you lose power or something while the game is mid-save, you should still have a backup to fallback on. Retroactive Save Backups: There is now a debug command [c]redevelopallphotos[/c] that will read every photo you've ever taken and instantly runs it through the develop-o-tron. This will recover a goo

Hey Birders, we have a new patch that adds a lot of fixes, stability improvements, and a much-needed moderation tool. We're going to be doing more bug-bashing in the near future. 1.0.27 Major Feature: Banning You can now "Ban" players from your lobby, preventing them from being able to rejoin. When you ban a player, they will not be allowed to join any lobby you host ever again. You can unban them manually in the developer console with [c]banlist[/c] (to list IDs of all banned players) and [c]unban [/c] (using the ID from the first command). I don't expect you'll want to unban people often so

Happy Friday birders! We've got a MASSIVE Friday Update for you! Flock Around Version 1.0.21 In this update we've added Public Lobbies , Text Chat , and FIVE NEW BIRDS!! Major Feature: Public Lobbies When you select Join Game you will now see ALL public lobbies. Your friends' lobbies will be bubbled to the top and highlighted in green. When hosting a lobby, you can select "Lobby Code Only" and it will not show up in the public lobbies list. Major Feature: Text Chat You can now press the "Text Chat" keybind (defaults to T) to start typing a message. When certain gameplay events happen (shiny sp

1.0.14 Level Fixes Fixed some rock colliders, again (shakes fist!) The cave to Snow no longer has holes that peek out into the sky box One of the Snow Point of Interests is no longer culled by Detail Distance There is no longer a gap between Marsh and the main Lake water. Birds Changes Birds should land on your head more often! As of late they've been doing it basically never. Changed alpha blending settings on birds (this will get rid of the black outline that birds have, maybe fixing some graphical bugs on macOS) Fixed necks on back-facing poses of Swans, Bufflehead, and Hooded Merganser Mis
