Additional Destinations
Expanding the Prototype: New Environments
and Species Beyond Upland Hunting
AI-generated visual concept — not from in-game prototype.
While the current Small Game Seasons™ prototype is centered on upland bird hunting, it may expand to include additional styles—such as waterfowl—as development continues and opportunities for studio or publisher collaboration emerge.
The four featured destinations in the prototype were carefully chosen to highlight distinct game bird hunting styles that are rarely represented in existing hunting games — serving as ideal scenarios to demonstrate the simulation-driven mechanics of Small Game Seasons.
Prototype Expansion: Potential Destinations
Ranging from waterfowl-rich wetlands to new upland and varmint hunting destinations, the following concepts represent potential directions for future development within the prototype.

Flushed Pheasant Hunt
Location Name: Prairie Rose Farm
__________________________________________Bird Hunting Type: Upland
__________________________________________
Species Example(s): Ring-necked Pheasant
__________________________________________
Region & Biome: Open Prairie Farmland
__________________________________________
Season: Fall / Early Winter
__________________________________________
Status: Added to the prototype (Dec. 2025)
__________________________________________
Rationale: While the prototype showcases a driven pheasant hunt tradition on a wooded estate, this destination draws inspiration from upland hunting traditions. Set in open prairie farmland, Prairie Rose Farm is a fictional, long-abandoned homestead where pheasant hunting has been a local practice for generations.

Barnacle Goose Hunt
Location Name: To be determined
__________________________________________Bird Hunting Type: Waterfowl
__________________________________________
Species Example(s): Barnacle Goose
__________________________________________
Region & Biome: To be determined
__________________________________________
Season: Fall / Early Winter
__________________________________________
Status: Not yet in development (Barnacle Goose mechanics ready).__________________________________________
Rationale: This concept would introduces Barnacle Goose hunting in boreal-edge woodlands, offering a contrasting environment and cultural flavor while still showcasing a recognized form of waterfowl hunting.

Bird Hunting Type: Waterfowl
__________________________________________
Species Example(s): Mallard / Wood Ducks
__________________________________________
Region & Biome: To be determined
__________________________________________
Season: Fall
__________________________________________
Status: Concept – Not yet in development
__________________________________________
Rationale: Duck hunting is a classic form of waterfowl wingshooting. The Small Game Seasons prototype might expand the simulation’s scope by featuring this classic waterfowl bird hunting tradition.

Crow Management Hunt
Location Name: To be determined
__________________________________________Bird Hunting Type: Varmint
__________________________________________
Species Example(s): American Crow
__________________________________________
Region & Biome: Open Prairie Farmland
__________________________________________
Season: Region-dependent
__________________________________________
Status: Not yet in development (Crows mechanics ready).
__________________________________________
Rationale: Expanding the scope of small game hunting, this concept introduces varmint management through a crow hunting scenario. This adds variety to the gameplay while reflecting a practical, regulation-based form of bird control.
