I think adding a bunch of birds that fly around forests, make noises, make nests, etc. would really improve the immersion. I love the way animals work in this game, but forests feel a little empty. I would also feel really immersed if squirrels were present. I can picture a V formation of birds flying high in the sky and it would be so cool and really make the world feel alive. they could be rendered and simple 2D sprites from a distance. idk i just feel a distinct lack of birds and that simply must change. also animals really need footstep sounds that depend on the animal weight.
