Originally a joke on one of my favorite online shows the "Northernlion Live Super Show," (NLSS) when I first started this project right after Concept Core I was curious if anyone had actually created the game considering that DraculaFetus had created an animation of the bit:
While there were other releases of the game, none had been openly exposed to the NLSS community. After watching the VOD and picking out as much of the details of what they described for the game, I came to the conclusion that while it worked as a game, it was fairly bland and wasn't going to stand out despite the absurd premise. Ultimately this lead to me coming up with the idea of making it a full fan project and dedicating it to the NLSS especially since I had been such a long time viewer unable to directly support.
Running with the "bird" theme, I thought of making the obstacles members of the NLSS crew and filling the streets with references to the show. Some obvious, others not, but all a time capsule to a hilarious moment from the show.

50 of the references in the game.
The original release of Garbage Bird only included a handful of the NLSS cast. The first that were in the game were Northernlion, Rockleesmile represented by his character Mar, JSmithOTI, Ryuka, and Kate represented by the Kate Army. Since the initial Beta release, practically all of the NLSS cast has been added as an obstacle as well as some of the other ideas they've had on the show including a golf minigame and a quiz about the show.
The analog stick control was imported from the Gamemaker Marketplace and was provided for free by DoomShroom studios. I had an idea of how to make it (in fact the same principle for how an analog stick works is used in the controls for Concept Tilt) but the GUI part was a bit over my head at the time, and I'll definitely be implementing my own in the future.
I had a ton of fun making this and coming up with ideas for how each of how their attack waves worked. My favorite is probably MALF because he shoots poutine at the player which is just gold!
The rest of the NLSS crew that hasn't yet been mentioned but are included in the game are: Last_Grey_Wolf, BaerTaffy, AlpacaPatrol, CobaltStreak, MathasGames, Sinvicta, DanGheesling, and SurixPlays.
Edit 01/15/2021: Last_Grey_Wolf has changed his Twitch handle to "DumbDog." For those who enjoy fun facts, he also changed his legal name from Austin to Apollo!
