Tweeter Bird

[ali.usman]

Guys,

Are we going to have an option to get rid of that HUGE BLUE Tweeter bird on the top the screen. I know it displays notifications but can we hide it when there is no new notification?

Its annoyingly blocking the view.

Cheers

After that I have had to defend the poor Chirper in multiple occasions

At least, there are different opinions on the bird among the developers. It's a consolation.

Well, if the bird stays, maybe add some interactivity? Mice from Theme Hospital come to my mind for some reason...

Wow , internet bullying is a real thing.

Wow, I never imagined the Chirper-bird would be such a hot topic. I love it

However, the person who's opinion matters with Chirper-bird: 1

That person is me. As a CEO of a game company I have very little input on the design of a game as I mainly try to allow the creative team to make good decisions without interference. Once in a meeting we discussed a newspaper or similar feature to give the player feedback from the citizens. I got the idea of making a twitter-like feature to having quick feedback in a familiar and funny way. After that I have had to defend the poor Chirper in multiple occasions and I will continue to do so.

The Chirper stays.

BWAHAHAHAHA!!!

People who complain about petty things are bound te be disappointed. BUH HA HA!!!

Problem solved this guys going to make a mod for it. Be sure to look for it in the steam workshop

Nooooo, don't put the bird in a corner!

Sorry if my previous statement sounded too harsh. It was written with a tongue in the cheek which I probably should avoid in the future

If the Chirper doesn't grow on you after playing the game, let's discuss about this again. Just give the poor guy a chance.

After I replied grumpily, I did consider that the thing was hardly credible. Seems you can't trust anyone and everyone's a troll these days.

Edit: Personally i'm quite satisfied with the results

That sounds fair. Agreed

 

[NZSimplicity]

The Chirper stays.

Well as I cannot play the game yet, I cannot form a judgement as to whether I like it or not, BUT that being said, would you maybe bend enough to allow people to move it to somewhere else on the screen?

 

[Leermeister]

I was thinking the bird problems in this thread were exaggerated
until i saw Brian Williams eye witness account

now i don't know what to believe

Sorry was not a cat. But i do believe he took the week off because the release date of C: SL
