What is Small Game Seasons™
The Story of a Wingshooting Simulator
Small Game Seasons, is a polished form of Prototype and Proof of Concept* (POC) for PC, built with bird hunters in mind, to simulate the experience of Wingshooting / bird hunting as closely as possible to reality. This prototype is created by a professional digital designer and an upland bird hunter using Unreal Engine 5.
Small Game Seasons is not a commercial game at this stage, but a prototype built to explore the potential for future development with a publisher or studio interested in reviving authentic bird hunting simulation as an accessible, immersive PC game.
Wing Quest
Virtual App for Bird-Hunting Destinations
The Prototype features examples of fictional bird-hunting destinations, as well as a private sporting clays club.

The Simulator
The Prototype Aims to Simulate
True-to-Life Birds
Speed & Behavior
I aimed to make each bird species behave and react in the most authentic, lifelike way. They fly at speeds you would expect in the real world.
Ballistics with Physics-Based Bird Drops
Shot pellets travel with varying impact force depending on shot type and range, influencing how birds are hit, wounded, or brought down. Their falls are simulated through physics, ensuring a lifelike descent.
Two Bird Dogs Featured: Pointer & Retriever
A German Shorthaired Pointer and a Labrador appear in select hunting locations, showcasing an early implementation of their simulated behaviors.
Immersive Environments
Landscapes and environments are crafted using vegetation assets specifically adapted to closely reflect the biome and terrain of each of the hunting destinations.
Lifelike
Sky & Atmosphere
The atmospheric lighting, weather, and volumetric clouds are lifelike and dynamically shift with time and seasons, adapting to each location.
Customizable
Simulation
Each hunting scenario has its own Simulation Settings, offering a glimpse of what a fully technical simulation setup could provide.
Beyond The POC
Expanding the Ideas and Vision
A complete edition of Small Game Seasons would go far beyond the proof of concept, introducing expanded features and advanced mechanics. With limitless potential, this wing-shooting simulator could evolve, offering diverse scenarios and immersive content while staying true to the core simulation principles demonstrated in the POC.
From This Prototype to a Future Full Game

Get in Touch with the Creator of Small Game Seasons
This PC game prototype reflects not only a personal passion, but also a timely opportunity in an underserved niche of the simulation and outdoor sports gaming market—where realism and authenticity remain in high demand.
Smal Game Seasons offers a more focused and authentic take on bird hunting than what’s typically seen in mainstream hunting games, and is actively seeking the right partners to bring that vision to life.
