I am on the mission of creating Bird Feeder Simulator in unity and it has been the first week of development.

What I am trying to achieve is:-

• Simulate a real life bird feeder which could be used as a widget for your desktop and can simulate real time weather, temperature and day-night cycle.
• You could watch and monitor different species of birds and capture their photos.
• Each bird species has its own likelihood of spawning, which is dependent upon weather conditions, time of day and temperature.
• You could keep the game running as a desktop widget in the background while you work or relax.

What I have achieved in this week:-

• Added about 21 species of birds to this game, which are actually 3 prefabs painted differently.
• Added a complex bird spawning system that checks which type of bird to spawn and whether a bird should spawn or not on a particular minute, on the basis of temperature, weather and time.
• I also made weather system, which estimates where would your approx location via your internet service provider (I used https://ipwho.is/ for that) and then used that location to find weather conditions of that area.
• I then integrated Weather API data for finding environmental effects which includes cloud movement speed, cloud coverage, and rain particle emission rates, with rainfall intensity scaled according to the reported precipitation (mm). This whole system could be seen in in-game environment.
• Added ambient sound of the environment, that includes how the environment would sound in rain, clear, cloudy weather and in morning, afternoon, evening and night. Also, I added chirping, calling and singing of all 21 birds.

What I hate about my game right now:-

• THE BIRDS ARE DUMB AS FUCK!!! MY BIRD AI SYSTEM, WHICH IS A VERY SIMPLE STATE MACHINE IS EXTREMELY BAD!!!MY NATIVE LANGUAGE IS NOT ENGLISH BUT I WANT TO SAY SOME VERY MEAN WORDS TO IT!!
• I HATE THE OVERALL LOOKS OF MY GAME!! I am a blender artist and I liked the looks of my game, when I was preparing a 3d model of the environment. but I hate how my game looks currently, because I am new to unity and I find it difficult to work around this system. I hate that I can't make shaders that easily as it was on making them on blender.
• UI of the game looks horrendous, it reminds me of the UI of old that lenovo phone that I had, which my dad hammered.

What I request you all to provide me with:-

• A genuine feedback about overall game and how I could improve it.
• Would anyone even want to experience this game? I love watching birds all day and what's better than owning a virtual widget that sits beside you all day, but the problem is that I don't know how many people are there who want to experience the same. Plus, the fact that how many of them want big fat ass birds all day on their screens, considering how bloaty windows already is. So, would you like to have such widget on your screen or not?

I uploaded this video 2-3 months back and now I am in a creator's block right now. I think to move forward, first I need to analyse what went wrong in my current video and how I could improve it. So, could you all help me with it by providing me with genuine feedbacks, I'd really appreciate any feedback you have on this video.

These are all the games that I have in my steam library.

The controller that I have is EvoFox One S.

I need similar or better suggestions which are truely compatible with controller and games which are made only for controller.

Data Sources:

• AfricaNews
• Asia News Network
• EUObserver Economy
• MercoPress South America
• Currents API (used to collect and build the international news dataset related to the Iran–US conflict between Feb 2026 – May 2026)

Tools Used:

• Python
• GeoPandas
• Matplotlib
• NumPy
• Shapely
• Natural Earth world boundaries dataset

Methodology:
Countries and economic/geopolitical sectors were extracted from international news coverage related to the 2026 Iran–US conflict. Each country was linked with affected sectors such as oil, sanctions, shipping, inflation, LNG, trade, military activity, and energy markets.

The map uses Voronoi-based internal country segmentation to visualize multiple simultaneous economic impacts within individual countries rather than assigning only one category per nation.
