PIGEON: A LOVE STORY DROPS NEXT FEST DEMO UPDATE FEATURING LOCALISATION, MULTIPLAYER AND MIC-ACTIVATED ‘COOING’

 – A very coo update indeed  –

London, 11th June – Wristwork and Tiny Dragon Games are delighted to announce a major v1 demo update for Pigeon: A Love Story, available now as a direct springboard into next week’s Steam Next Fest!

Love is a universal language, and now players across the globe can enjoy the demo for Pigeon: A Love Story in their own native tongue thanks to extensive localisation. In addition, the update brings ‘speak to coo’ mic integration, a visual overhaul, a sweeping array of quality of life improvements, and multiplayer mode!

Here’s everything you need to know about the v1 demo launch!
 

  • ‘Speak to Coo!’ Mic Integration: Players can now opt-in to use their real-world microphone, literally cooing at their monitors to trigger their pigeon's in-game mating call.
  • Crowdsourced Rejection Feature: A new in-game link allows players to submit their own real-world, short, and snappy romantic rejections (under 140 characters). The most hilariously devastating lines will be officially coded into the game. You can also submit them at https://wristwork.com/pigeon/submissions
  • Official Multiplayer Mode Launch: Have a friend join you on your quest for love! Now you can scour the skies for your soulmate pigeon with a buddy in the London demo.
  • Major Visual Overhaul: London has gotten a glow-up featuring atmospheric shadows, realistic sunshine rendering, and procedural urban graffiti.
  • Global Localisation: The demo is now fully accessible to an international flock, adding support for Japanese, Korean, Brazilian Portuguese, Simplified Chinese, French, German, and Spanish.
  • Community QOL Fixes: A bunch of small bug fixes and quality-of-life adjustments have been implemented, directly addressing player feedback from early flight trials
