We have big plans for the town that sort of align with what you are saying. The town is going to be bigger than it is in this demo and with time, as your museum improves it brings more people to the town and the whole town improves. You can also help people in the town with things if you want to but those side stories are optional :-)  Thank you for playing! I've made a note of your grid suggestion so we can chat about it. 

Thank you so much, that means a lot to us! Thanks for filling out the request form, it's really helpful. 

Really glad you are enjoying it. Sorry about the bugs you've found but thanks so much for reporting them. I appreciate it!

Ah so sorry we don't have alternative controls or remapping in this demo version :-( we are planning on having some more options for this in the full game and are busy building the game with controller support too. 

Hi there, yes we will probably have more options for the characters in the full game :-) thanks for playing!

Hi!! Thanks for playing, so glad you're enjoying it! Yeah I agree it does get a bit repetitive in the current demo, we are working hard at making more interesting and varied digging and excavation mechanics so it's not so repetitive in the full game! ah that's sweet of you but we're just happy to have you play and send feedback - that's the best type of donation ❤️ 

Hi there, oh no sorry about the bugs with the visitors :-( That sounds very annoying but thank you for letting us know. Also sorry we don't have much in the way of tutorials. Adding tutorialisation can take up a lot of time and we decided to put that time towards new features for this prototype but I know it's not a great solution to just expect people to figure it all out on their own.

For our next demo release (which will also be on Steam) and definitely for the full game, we will have a proper introduction and tutorials. We will also try to include other options for controls and we are adding controller support if that suits you better.

I'm so happy you enjoyed it despite the issues you had!! If we can turn you into a gamer then that makes me very happy XD Thanks so much for the support.

Hi, Cool! I've made a note to include some in the full game. Sorry we don't have any current demo :-( 

Oh thank you for letting me know. Sorry about that!

AH yes makes to happy to hear that you enjoy organising your lucky finds into themes!! We are expanding on this idea a bit in the full game ;-) 

We totally agree with you about dig sites. It's gets boring and repetitive quite quickly so we have plans to make it more varied. We also agree 100% about the characters movement. It's very clunky at the moment when digging :-( We actually spent today working on the characters movement mechanics for the full game with the goal of making it faster and less stop/starty. Thanks for playing <3

Hello! Thanks for such a lovely message, it's so motivating to hear you enjoyed it. I am sorry about some dig sites having very few bones :-( That is frustrating. It seems to be a bug that is happening to some people sometimes but we are struggling to recreate the issue on our end so it's been hard to fix so far. 

Oooh I see what you are saying, it would be nice if you could at least rotate it 180.  Sorry about that :-(  

Very strange. Can you give me a screenshot so I can see whats going on?

Hello! Quick message from the devs that if you had that unfortunate bug where you fell through the floor of your home - it's fixed now! Well, it should be :-) If it is not fixed for you, please let us know.

This is fixed now. You should be able to carry on with your save game no problem. If not please let me know.

This is fixed in the latest build we just uploaded. If it doesnt fix it for you please let us know :-) 

Just wanted to let you know this should be fixed now in the latest build we just uploaded :-) 

Well... geez thats strange.... did you try the web version or did you download it?

Its super hard to debug the web build sadly, but if you played the downloaded version then I can get your save game and look at your logs.

Hi! What do you mean by it broke? If you encountered a bug we'd like to try fix it. Sorry about that! 

We agree the digging is slow and repetitive. We are changing the way it works for the full game and will be making it faster, funner (hopefully!) and more interesting. Thank you for  playing and leaving feedback

I would really like to fix this problem. I am so sorry you are experiencing this!! Would you be able to share more information with us over discord or email? You could email us on lasse@unsigneddouble.come or join our discord at the link on the page. 

If you are willing to help that would be amazing, we would love to get to the bottom of it.

Hi again. Just wanted to let you know we have located this bug and fixed it and will be uploading a new build by Monday morning. Sorry again, not nice to get a game breaking bug like this.

Unfortunately not sorry! We don't have macs so it's very hard for us to build and test for mac :-(

Thank you. What a lovely message. We're hoping the full game will be packed full of content and new features and fun stuff to do. No pressure on us haha!

I double checked and the diplodocus should spawn in Colorado or Montana. The bone itself shouldn't be that rare... sorry that you're having issues. Might just be bad luck :-(

Did you manage to find it?

Hi! You can use O as an an alternative to delete exhibits :-)

Oh thank you so much for the extra info! I'm sorry that happened to you but now we can recreate it and will try fix it :-)

Awesome feedback!!

Thanks so much. Agree with you on pretty much all the points. I'll discuss all of this with the team (lol I mean the two of us!) and figure out the best ways to address these issues in the full game.

For point 2: I think that was a bug you encountered. You shouldn't have gotten just one fossil from a dig site OR that dig site should have been really small. This is our bad sorry!!

Unfortunately not, I'm sorry. If you remember how/when it happened then we could try to recreate it and patch it so at least it won't happen again. But we won't be able to fix your specific save game so you can carry on, you would need to start over. I'm sorry it must be very frustrating, wish we could :-(

If you were using the PC downloaded version we could take a look at your save game file and try fix the problem? It will be found here: 
C:\Users\[Your user name]\AppData\LocalLow\UnsignedDouble\Fossil Quest

You can email that file to lasse@unsigneddouble.com and we will take a look ASAP. 

Oh no sorry! This is the first I've heard of this bug. Did reloading solve it?

Haha its actually the museum is too small rather than the diplodocus being too big. But to make the museum bigger would've caused a bunch of issues so we had to leave it like that (for now).

In the main game you'll have a much bigger area to exhibit your bigger dinosaurs.

Thanks! Totally agree about the repetitiveness. We initially just had a couple of dinosaurs but as we added more it meant more grinding for the fossils.

For the full game, we're planning a bunch more mechanics to collect fossils as well as overhauling the locations to make them more interesting and varied. Making it more interesting/varied is one of our main design goals based on all the feedback from this demo.

We're also going to add a research and upgrade system to improve your tools and unlock different excavation sites.

Thanks for playing and leaving such useful feedback. Really appreciate it!!

Hi. I am so so sorry you are experiencing these bugs, it sounds very frustrating! This is the first time we've had this bug reported so if you are willing to send us some more information we could try figure out what's happening? A screen recording of you playing and your save game data would be really helpful if you have the time. 

You could find us or discord or email it to lasse@unsigneddouble.com

Sorry again, hopefully we can figure out what's happening and fix it!

Haha glad to hear it! P.S We have a update coming with fresh content early next week so that might be a good time to start over ;-) 

Thank you so much for the encouragement!

A sieve shaking mini game is a great idea!! Thanks for this, we're going to chat about it :D

There is some coprolite in already as a little lucky find but I plan on adding more in the future. Thank you so much for playing, really glad you enjoyed it! 

Hi there. Oh no! The last update we made was about a month ago and it did not break saves so I am wondering if maybe your browser history got wiped somehow or something else happened on your end? Either way it really sucks, so so sorry that happened.

I wish we could but unfortunately we don't own macs so its impossible for us at the moment :-( 

Thank you so much! Yes, we think the digging is a bit repetitive in the current demo and want to make it more interesting. We have lots of plans to expand on it for the full game :-) 

That's really strange :-( we will try to recreate it on our side. Thanks for reporting it!

Sorry about that! Do you know how many lucky finds you have? If you could let me know that would help us to track down the bug or figure out what's happening. If there is a bug we will try fix it before our next update which should be early Feb :-) 

I'm really happy you like the game, thank you for playing!

We don't mind you sharing videos here. We're all trying to get our stuff noticed and its completely relevant. We need people streaming our games and you need people making games! So it's a symbiotic relationship :-) 

It's not like you're sharing your own game or porn/spam links (you'd be amazed how many we have to delete!)

Thanks for making the video!
