Short description
Just add water! The Kafkaesque bird-based artificial intelligence sandbox driven by real-time neural networks and your own sick perversions! Acquire love! It is time to throw fear to the birds!
About this game
What is Bird by Example? Bird by Example is — and I say this with great passion — an RPG sandbox where all the occupying NPCs are grotesque birds who mimic your behavior with deep learning algorithms. Nothing is scripted! Everything is emergent! Be the bird you want to see in the world! Steam has asked me to be more explicit with the game's features: world objects jump crawl punch squawk bite physics objects other* stories??** It's an artificial intelligence sandbox acted out by birds with concerning musculature! Help them see, help them love, help them eat a big fat bug! Right now at this very second, the metaphysical bounds of this game hold a throng of hungry birds who wish nothing more than to be like you! Like Mama! *: Imprint pseudo-neurologically upon independent bird agents, using recurrent neural networks, gradient descent, and a custom-built system of semiotic metadata evocation (to afford transferrable behavior between distinct objects and agents which share characteristics along an n-dimensional space). **: Isn't life a story? Aren't we all little stories, flying on this crazy rock? You said this was a game? Who's Mama? I'm Mama? Who are you again? Please pay attention. These birds are equipped with artificial neural networks that optimize themselves against your own actions! Using trendy deep learning algorithms found in a black box at the bottom of the sea, and something called 'gradient descent', they will try to become mathematically perfect distillations of you! It's very computationally expensive and very math! But what do you actually do? Explore, follow self-imposed rules, and cultivate your flock! Tutor a bird to act just like you! By simply doing things, they will learn from you by witnessing your play! Bite an orange and you may start to see other birds doing similarly! Squawk at a another bird and watch your flock erupt into squawkage! Oh! That's interesting. So they have brains!? Woah, strong word! Let's avoid that word! Have you ever played a game, and thought: "This is fun, but I live in such fear that I cannot enjoy it..." Yes, I do live a life of fear! And thank you for blowing off my silly and ethically challenging ques…
