Tiels

Description

Tiels is a 2D “virtual pet-esque” game themed around the ownership of a cockatiel. The game puts the player in the perspective in front of a friendly, yet mischievous cockatiel in which they are tasked with petting,  feeding and training him (feature coming later in development). When the cockatiel is interacted with, various emotions will be expressed by the cockatiel with his body language, crest (when the crest is down, he is relaxed. When it is up, he is alert) and eyes (e.g. when the cockatiel is happy, his eyes will slightly squint). The choice is up to the player depending on how they want to treat the cockatiel – they can choose however they interact with him. 

In different situations caused by the player, the cockatiel will react like a real bird (e.g. if you don’t interact with him for a minute, he will relax and get tired). The game does not have a main objective, but the player does have to keep the cockatiel happy and healthy to get the best player experience.

Features

[FEATURE COMING SOON] When training him, he can learn multiple songs that he whistles. Each song has a unique twist on it via the whistle. 

• Easy navigation - Tiels includes a simple layout that allows new players, young players and every type of player to enjoy the game.
• Credits Screen - An innovative credits screen that features a scrolling animation and a unique, original soundtrack. 
• Unique Gameplay - Gameplay that hasn't been done in alot of games; The gameplay uses real videos that were recorded and are utilised to make the game seem real and engaging.

Unique Selling Points

• The game being themed around cockatiels – games with a cockatiel protagonist or games with cockatiels in are niche genre, meaning that more people are more likely to be interested in getting the game due to the idea not being done before. Especially for cockatiel lovers, as a game has never been done before like this, more of them are going to want to get the game due to the uniqueness and lack of competitors to steal their attention.
  
• The realistic art style – this art style is not commonly used in the genre of “virtual pet” game apps (as the drawn style is more so used), meaning that in a way, Tiels makes use of the atypical style to draw the audience in, and make them think; this game looks interesting and unique from the other games similar to it in the market.
• The cockatiel can be directly interacted with – not a lot of virtual pet games allow for the player to choose the actions they do towards the character.
