Hello everyone!
After the Demo launched, we carefully reviewed player feedback and made several optimizations to the close-up photography feature. We hope these improvements will make birdwatching and photography more relaxing and intuitive, while still preserving the challenge and fun.
We sincerely appreciate everyone who played the Demo and shared feedback with us! The specific improvements are as follows:
Feature Updates

Birds blocked by buildings can now still trigger close-ups photograph
Added Follow & Lock mode: long-press to lock camera onto a bird, making it easier to capture birds in flight
Extended the duration of birds preening
Birds now hover for 1 second while feeding mid-air, making them easier to capture
Added a shortcut key for Photo Mode : C
Reach maximum affection to obtain a bird statue; collect all close-ups to unlock a small crown icon in the gallery
