Hey everyone! 

I'm currently working on Retrobirding, a cozy 2D pixel art game about birdwatching, exploring nature, and discovering different bird species, inspired by games like Stardew Valley.

The idea is to create a relaxing experience where players can explore different habitats, listen to bird calls, use binoculars, collect observations, and slowly build their own birdwatching journal.

About the project

I'm developing the game in Godot and have already started working on the core gameplay, movement, and environment systems. The project is still in its early stages, but I have plenty of ideas and a fairly detailed game design concept.

Who am I looking for?

Honestly, pretty much anyone interested in contributing!

• Pixel artists – Birds, vegetation, environments, animations, etc.
• Godot developers – Programming, gameplay mechanics, and technical ideas.
• Writers – Storytelling, dialogue, characters, and quests.
• Bird enthusiasts – Species knowledge, bird behavior, ecology, and ideas.
• Musicians / Sound designers – Cozy music, ambience, and nature sounds.
• Anyone creative – Feedback, ideas, illustrations, UI design, or just enthusiasm!

No pressure, no commitments!

This is currently an unpaid hobby/passion project. There's no required schedule, and you don't have to commit to being a permanent team member.

Even if you just want to contribute a few pixel art assets, help with one feature, share some bird knowledge, or throw in an idea, I'd genuinely appreciate it!

I'm also setting up a small Discord community where we can share progress, exchange ideas, and collaborate.

If you're interested, feel free to reply here or send me a message!

I'd love to meet some creative people and hopefully build something special together.

Thanks for reading! 🐦🌿
