Description

A sweet little game where you play as a duck and raise ducklings. Care for your ducklings and help them grow from tiny hatchings to their first flight.

History

Background

In 2009, Mike had the idea for a game where you play as a pterodactyl and protect your hatchling from waves of dinosaurs. He only began prototyping it before moving on to other things, but he kept thinking about the game and occasionally revisiting it over the years as his interests changed and skills improved.

A Waddleful Life

In April 2024, Mike decided to develop the game in full as his first indie title. By then the concept had narrowed down to simply playing as a some kind of bird and raising chicks until they fly away. He chose the project because he believed in its simplicity, instant appeal, reasonable scope, and he just loves birds. It wasn't until he thought of the title for the game, "A Waddleful Life" that he settled on playing as a duck.
