Dev Log 05: Museum expansion, new excavation mechanics and more content!

Hello everyone!

Hope you're having a lovely week. Romy and I are super excited to share our latest and greatest updates with Fossil Quest with you all. 

New Fossil Excavation Mechanic

We've added a new excavation process to unearth awesome compression and impression fossils. This comes in the form of a very cozy and relaxing puzzle to solve which rewards you with a kick ass fossil!

New Fossils!

We've added Deinonychus, Fossilized Conifer, Trilobyte and Brittle Star fossils to find, assemble and display in your museum. See if you can find them all and set them up in your museum.

Museum Expansion

To house all these new exhibits, you're gonna need more floor space! We've added a new expansion system, starting with an old library to clear out. More rooms will be added in the future!

New Music

We've added a brand new music track composed by none other than our good friend Mike Deall. Please let us know what you think of it.

Bug Fixes and QOL Improvements

Includes but not limited to:

• Skip Dig button now warns you that it will start the visitor phase.
• Space Bar can now be used instead of click in the digging mini game (sorry RSI)
• Some small UI improvements to legibility
• After skipping dig it now generates new locations to explore
• Added SFX and some visual effects to the bone assembly in the museum
• Made the museum feel more cozy. Some new lighting effects and decorations.
• Quite a few minor bug fixes.

Thank you

As usual, a big thank you to everyone who has played the game, provided feedback or engaged in any form with us. We really really appreciate it. (feedback is more than welcome, its actively encouraged)

Just a reminder that we're planning on making this into a really BIG game one day (hopefully soon) and in order to do that, well.... we have to sell copies at some point to make ends meet. It really helps if you wishlist the full game on steam and help share the word.
