This game scratches an itch that I can't find elsewhere. I really like growing a collection and organizing it, especially with fossils. I noticed some things you will need to fix and have some ideas about where you can take the game in the future.

For the most recent update: 

Errors:

 Diplodocus is too long for the current rooms; I had to rear it on its hind legs to keep the tail from clipping. Maybe make the hall longer than the wings of the manor.  

When you are in the museum, you can sometimes open menus on top of menus.

Also,  "trilobites" is misspelled on it's fact sheet. 


Ideas:

It's be cool if you could rotate bones left and right as well as up and down so you could give the skeletons cool poses, though you would probably have to break them up into smaller pieces to make that work. 

Sometimes museums will display a skull or a single bone (like a femur) on its own. It'd be nice if you could make smaller mounts for such bones that wouldn't get a thumbs down from the visitors but still less draw than the skeletons. 


Having expansions to the left of the hall as well as the right would be more "museum like", as that is the layout most museums have. 


As you add more fossils, it would be nice to differentiate dig sites by era in each location, i.e. only Jurassic fossils in a dig site. 


I think the game should start out at a smaller scale. Maybe you have a truck instead of a plane and can only look for small fossils in the local gravel pits. A single bone, an ammonite, shells, and so on. Then you can raise funds to go to the famous dig sites with skeletons. 


All in all, I'm really enjoying making a little museum in this game and look forward to what you have in store for the future!

Wow, thank you so much for taking the time to send us feedback and ideas. You're the best!! 

We know the diplodocus is a bit too large and can only actually fit with his tail sticking out through the door but expanding the house would have meant delaying the update until after Christmas so we decided to just roll with it for now :-P Sorry about that, he is such a big boy lol

Thanks for spotting those other errors. I've made a note to fix that. 

Your ideas: 
These are all awesome! We are planning to sort of start over when making the full game so feedback like this is really helpful while we decide what should stay the same and what should change :-) 

The house will essentially get rebuilt from scratch and we are planning on making it a huge manor house that has many many rooms and the player has to clean out or fix up rooms to expand their museum. 

I really like your idea of starting smaller and just having single bone displays and keeping each dig site era specific.

We do have a new plan for how the locations will work which should make them more varied and interesting to visit. 

The other big addition which is not in the current version at all but is  coming, is a town with characters to meet and trade with. 

We're really happy that you enjoyed playing the prototype and thanks again for taking the time to send us your thoughts on it. I hope you enjoy all our future updates!!
