Occupy Mars: The Game Kickstarter Campaign is now live!

Pyramid Gamessteam_community_announcementsworkshop

1293d ago

Greetings, Fossil Hunters!

We’re excited to announce that we’re launching a Kickstarter campaign for Occupy Mars: The Game! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/34825804/f2e6958fdb2ab285f371fe20e7c4b220008b719b.png Occupy Mars: The Game is a highly technical survival game about Mars colonization. As an astronaut who has just landed on the Red Planet, your task is to build and expand your base and survive in the harsh environment that is unlike the one on Earth. The game has been in development since 2017 and we’re finally nearing its completion! While Occupy Mars: The Game is almost ready for Early Access release, another challenge lies ahead – pre-release promotion. We have to make sure our voice is heard and the game makes its way to players, which is difficult for our still relatively small team. This campaign’s goal is to reach as many people as possible while gathering additional funds for marketing purposes.

That’s why we need your help!

While paleontology and space exploration might appear to be distant topics, what connects them is the knowledge and passion of enthusiasts such as yourself! Just like with Dinosaur Fossil Hunter, we’ve been doing a great deal of research when working on Occupy Mars: The Game and if you have any interest in Mars or space exploration as a whole, we’re sure you’ll find something for yourself here! :) Please consider supporting the campaign and tell your friends about it!

Learn more about the game and the campaign on its dedicated Kickstarter page

We thank you for all your support! Best Regards, Dinosaur Fossil Hunter Team

1368d ago

Hello, Fossil Hunters!

We have some exciting news for you! We’re happy to announce that our previously announced Designer DLC will be released on November 16! TRAILER This DLC introduces life-sized dinosaur models of every species currently present in the game, which you can paint any way you like! Dinosaur lovers fond of realistic portrayal can bring to life their favorite dinos and create amazing scenes with realistic colors and subtle details. On the other hand, those who are willing to let their imagination run wild can create unique designs for their dinos not seen anywhere else! Every approach is a good one. We only give you the tools to bring your ideas to life. ;) {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32825646/10428ac71a93c0e14cd1e9b28d7588e556556ca5.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32825646/20b1c5820b42060b3065da5e95c1292300945561.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32825646/f93ea2f36a6ad4c63643fa8f97e6e66eef9cc189.jpg {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32825646/5d072c0970173a21012d3fd3c1f2e07b743da97b.jpg {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32825646/23bf101ae76c4d0a3932a19ad67b8d7a8553f6e6.jpg {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32825646/211a653d77b3ad221e3325a972f076b04d6b0473.jpg {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32825646/88f5db9d0c8951fbe5ad5aabcf385409ef87e396.png We’re sure they’ll bring a lot of variety to your museum and we hope that with this small personal touch, your museum will become truly yours.

During those 4 years a lot has happened – some team members got married, others had children, some of our former team members have left while we’ve welcomed a lot of new faces in our ranks. Most importantly, during all this time, each one of us learned a lot! Our journey took us to many places and we met many wonderful people along the way. We visited natural history museums, as well as real excavation site. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32825646/79e1e9afad36f8919b3d3ea84bee5cb644258f3e.jpg {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32825646/9b2be1d7693c6232850d64478f59ffe90ac0d375.jpg {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32825646/a0e4c58714558a4108755137fc5c46f51b141a31.jpg Our stops also included various gaming events and even though not everything worked out during difficult times of COVID pandemic, Dinosaur Fossil Hunter traveled around Poland and even made its way to some of the events overseas! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32825646/ff7609f4185ddb211cebf7cae953a19e85256fc0.jpg {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32825646/39f717457078e129b6e630c1f6765df206fb3748.jpg Let’s not forget about our team mascot - The Dino who cheered up a lot of people. 🦖 {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32825646/d84886bada404f5f8e8b5989dacbde7d24f03dac.jpg {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32825646/8b1558c17d87018df79fbc03a08ccec6436d8d86.jpg {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32825646/f997f05b557bd1a2d0108bd6eba106706e2af969.jpg Thank you, everyone!

May the 4th be with you!

Hello, Fossil Hunters!

A lot has happened since the time of our release date announcement. It turned out that April is bringing to the table many great games. After careful consideration, the decision was made to postpone release of our Dinosaur Fossil Hunter for one more week.

The new release date is 4 May 2022!

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32825646/ff586ee21c8edf1cdd01659ce5512bb732d9f800.png We’d like to tell you about many additions that are coming to the full version of the game!

NEW FEATURES:

With the help from our amazing translators, we can expand the list of supported languages! We will include the following additional languages:

Japanese
Korean
Turkish
Dutch
Portuguese

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32825646/78ab635b21a522c999ccfb8e6ca41854bd7a6873.png

Partial Steam Workshop Support

That’s a big spoiler, but we thought that many of you might be happy to know that we have included partial Workshop support in our game! Are you happy with your museum exhibitions? You’ll be able to share your museum in Steam Workshop and allow other players to visit it! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32825646/bc107f64e2b5af77e7e872b98f72a0ec90f4bd12.png

Dinosaur Fossil Hunter will include over 70 Achievements for all the achievement hunters out there! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32825646/f8f9868cad1097498d8107d59d4f2207a872639f.png

IMPROVEMENTS:

Improved Tutorial

We know that tutorial plays a big role in shaping first impressions about the game. That’s why we do our best to gather feedback at every possible stage. For a long time, our QA team has been our primary source of feedback but thanks to our recent playtests we were finally able to hand the game over to you – our players! We have gathered a lot of invaluable suggestions and based on that, tutorial in the full game will be improved. One of the more notable changes is that instead of static graphics, Help panels will now include short recordings showing certain features in action. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32825646/0f72379a5cc2bf8072f193863a6e2ecd18649274.gif

Waypoints

More waypoints and additional information such as room and location descriptions have been added in order to make it easier for you to find your way. You don’t have to worry about getting lost as the game will be sure to nudge you in the right direction if needed. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32825646/7bcdb80436e2710f021636199c933b9ef31b7bf1.png

Controller support

We have been working on controller support system for quite a while now and playtests allowed us to address many issues so in the future, you'll be able play the game the way you like. Would you like to use your favourite game controller? Go for it! You'll be able to choose from dedicated settings for Xbox 360, PS 4, PS 5 and Xbox One controller, as well as set up your own configuration.

Upgraded mechanics

A lot of in-game mechanics have been improved thanks to our playtesters, including a water pump, which should be much more intuitive to use in the full version of the game. https://i.imgur.com/6miJb92.gif

Devlog #24: Testing underway

Pyramid Gamessteam_community_announcementsworkshop

1654d ago

Hello, Fossil Hunters!

It’s time to give you an update on development progress!

Before we do that, though, we’d like to apologize for not publishing anything in December – due to Christmas time and New Year’s Eve it was difficult to squeeze in a devlog during that time. We know some of you have been used to a monthly pace and the delay made you confused. We’d like to make it clear that the game is constantly being worked on. It’s a bit late now, but we’d also like to wish you a Happy New Year! 🙂 Now, let’s move to the part you’re all interested in.

What is the game’s current state?

We are happy to let you know that the majority of mechanics and content has been included in the game. We are intensively working on wrapping up development and preparing for the game’s launch. https://i.imgur.com/zkwzz9o.gif We have now moved to the testing phase – many of our testers are involved along with the QA team of our publisher. They play the game and give us their feedback while we provide them with new builds and polish the game according to their suggestions. It’s a very intense time as we hand over at least one new build each day. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32825646/cbc42db47b6de2c717105aea6c7510fe8cd4378a.jpg Main mechanics and gameplay loop have been completed and all 3D content has been included in the game. Locations have been finished as well. Prologue’s content has been successfully merged with the full game’s content and the story has been expanded. Most of the less important mechanics work well, although they require a bit more testing and polishing. We’re also adding remaining 2D graphics. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32825646/29d475ac761359b985b7f4f7fe8ff494f80d1a4e.jpg Fortunately, new workflow related to excavating big fossils received positive feedback from the entire publisher’s testing team, which means we can focus on improvements and adding missing elements to the game. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32825646/cbc42db47b6de2c717105aea6c7510fe8cd4378a.jpg To be specific, other than obligatory fixes, we’re working on:

2D graphics, such as icons, screenshots and Achievements graphics
Music
Improving some of the game’s interface
Translating new text content
Gameplay balance
Analyzing and improving optimization
Completing remaining minor mechanics

As the end note, we’d like to show you one of the most advanced systems we have developed for Dinosaur Fossil Hunter – rocks excavation system. It was a great challenge to get it right, but we’re very happy with the results. https://i.imgur.com/wG5C7Y4.gif This system evaluates whether it is possible or not to dig out the rock based on the terrains’ shape. That would be it for this devlog! We can’t say how long testing will take as it’s a constant loop of creating a build, gathering feedback, improving, creating another build and so on. It takes time, but thanks to the efforts of our testers, we can eliminate a lot of bugs and possible issues you could face. Once this phase is over, we can start preparing for the launch. Just a bit longer – stay tuned! Best Regards, Dinosaur Fossil Hunter Team

Devlog #23: Development status

Pyramid Gamessteam_community_announcementsworkshop

1707d ago

Hello, Fossil Hunters!

https://i.imgur.com/GtjzOe5.gif It’s about time to give you an update from the development front! 😃 EGX provided us with loads of valuable feedback. We’ve gathered everything we had learned by talking with players and our own observations and now we’re putting it to use. Unfortunately, as it usually is with development, whenever something is added to the game, some additional time is needed to address all the issues that pop up as a result. Rest assured, with our testing team aboard, we’ll prevail! https://i.imgur.com/TE4nsSC.gif We may not be able to provide you with many truly new things, but we believe there is still a fair share of interesting things to show you. Let’s go! https://i.imgur.com/3v9FPM4.gif When you get to the excavation site, you need to secure the area. Before, you had to hold the Space button for a while – now, you can either proceed like before or simply press a button to skip this sequence and move on to the next step. https://i.imgur.com/beBdYaS.gif We have polished the look of various animations you encounter during your fossil hunting. Now they look more natural. Take a look! https://i.imgur.com/4oiOi4S.gif https://i.imgur.com/NTflTAv.gif Other than that, we have improved rock destroying mechanic. It works similarly to how it did before, but now it’s possible to destroy rocks other than the ones you encounter on the roads. For example, you can destroy rocks that get in your way while digging for paleontological treasures! https://i.imgur.com/G1d9DZg.gif Rock inspection has also been improved! Thanks to your feedback, Giger’s counter role has been expanded. After finding the rock with a fossil, you’ll need to perform a visual inspection, which will allow you to find places where the fossil sticks out of the rock. https://i.imgur.com/2r6a6oB.gif When you find and prepare your fossil for a journey back home, it’s time to move it to the car! Medium boxes come with this neat cover right here: https://i.imgur.com/CuSaJiG.gif While you’re already familiar with most of the game’s features, there is another one that will give you some room for customization. We have added the option to change the colour of your vehicle. You can freely change the colour of any car you can control in the game. Just make sure to make this colour pleasing for the eyes. 😉 https://i.imgur.com/Z20AblC.gif We have also been working on including controller support in the game, as we recall that it’s something that a lot of you requested in the past. 🙂 What’s left now is to get rid of those pesky bugs and at last, get the game ready for you – our players and hope that this adventure we’ve been working so hard on will make you fall in love with paleontology all over again! As a last piece of news for today, Dinosaur Fossil Hunter was chosen as one of ten Polish games to show up at WePlay Expo in Shanghai! The Prologue version will be presented during the event, which will take place on December 11-12. While we won’t be able to be there in person due to COVID restrictions, our game will be left in WePlay organizing party's care. If you haven’t tried the updated Prologue yet and have the opportunity to drop by, please do! 🙂 If you're not on our Discord server yet, we encourage you to join the community! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32825646/c8d6f8bc0cb4488b1423dc8803422518ed92f6d4.png Best Regards, Dinosaur Fossil Hunter Team

Devlog #22: Improvements and a special feature!

Pyramid Gamessteam_community_announcementsworkshop

1759d ago

We’re back, Fossil Hunters!

Along with us, we bring you another update regarding our progress on the game! 🤠 Our team continues working on the game’s balance, fixing and further improving the game by adding missing features. Balancing the game requires a lot of attention and cooperation from our development and testing team. Testers play and leave invaluable feedback, which our development team uses to adjust gameplay accordingly. It’s a continuous cycle, which – little by little – allows us to bring Dinosaur Fossil Hunter closer to completion. In the past month, our team has grown considerably bigger as new dedicated team members have joined our ranks. 💪💪💪 With their help, we gained more time, which in turn allowed us to reconsider some of your suggestions and include them in the game. Some of the aforementioned features include:

making your character visible at certain stages of the game,
adding a possibility to draw a path on the minimap,
reworked mechanics of securing an excavation site, which should now be more pleasing to watch,
adding belts to hold crates on top of your car in place,
improved vehicle physics.

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/37978213/2662d1abbc468b1ea4fcec52e7336df10634efe5.png Moreover, we have decided to do something special for our community. Our Kickstarter supporters may recall “Little Findings” listed among our stretch goals. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/37978213/2371b69450d983729d28773975e7d2a8b1a5fe56.png Unfortunately, the campaign ended with a sum just a tiny bit away from that goal and we thought we wouldn’t be able to include it in the game. However, with more people on board, Dinosaur Fossil Hunter team decided to bring this idea to life! We have already prepared over 20 unique fossils, which will make great additions to your museum displays! We are currently working on a way to transport these new fossils from an excavation site to a museum. 😉 {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/37978213/cb97954029efae24788df3d2808ddedddf6f8394.jpg Keep in mind that’s not all! We have many more surprises in store for you, but we don’t want to spill out everything just yet. We’d like to leave some things for you to discover. 🙂 If you’re looking for a community of paleontology enthusiasts to talk about the game, consider joining or Discord channel! Like always, we also encourage you to add Dinosaur Fossil Hunter to your Wishlist – that is, if it’s not there yet. 😄 {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32825646/c8d6f8bc0cb4488b1423dc8803422518ed92f6d4.png Best Regards, Dinosaur Fossil Hunter Team

Improved skeleton models, field trip and upcoming Prologue update!

Pyramid Gamessteam_community_announcements

Hello, Fossil Hunters!

https://i.imgur.com/rY07Rbu.gif Now that we have finished working on gameplay mechanics that will be included in the game, we are now focused on improvements. That includes thorough testing, gathering feedback, making tweaks and balancing the gameplay and also making improvements in terms of performance. At the same time, we have also taken our time analyzing feedback from Steam, our Discord channel and other sources that you have provided us since the last prologue update. Based on that, we've picked out some gameplay elements that could be improved or added and we are also taking them into account while developing the game further. Here are some things we have been working on recently: {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32825646/9511f2a3dee38bcfea5bc070995687ee4afb5c17.jpg Thanks to our team members who have done thorough research and paleontologists who provided us with invaluable feedback, we have significantly improved the quality of our in-game dinosaur skeletons! https://i.imgur.com/eSImewy.gif They are now much more detailed and anatomically close to real skeletons. Now, we are working on improving existing poses. https://i.imgur.com/EOjPhGa.gif As we have already mentioned, while we're working on balancing the gameplay progression, the QA team is handling the internal testing and providing us the feedback necessary for further improvements. Now a little fun fact: some of us had the opportunity to gain field experience by participating in paleontological research ourselves! 😃 {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32825646/65b0527eacaa6b6da33f0339a850216811de29d0.jpg {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32825646/d30511bf81f8bf61dc9b6c84264ef5f342be5de9.jpg {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32825646/9f6ce512dafe421eca8de02917d22ab152519184.jpg We're also preparing an update for the Prologue version of the game – we have added many new gameplay mechanics that will be also included in the full version of the game. This update will come with an expanded tutorial, which will explain newly added mechanics. We hope that will make it much easier for you to jump right into the full game and start your adventure. 😉 Thank you for your interest in Dinosaur Fossil Hunter! Your feedback is a great help to us and we hope to write even more about changes made in the upcoming devlog! If you have something to share with us, we invite you to join our Discord channel. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32825646/c8d6f8bc0cb4488b1423dc8803422518ed92f6d4.png Best Regards, Dinosaur Fossil Hunter Team

Below you can take a look at some of the improvements: Interactive cursor (animation): https://i.imgur.com/rCCqvbd.gif Improved terrain textures: {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32825646/6203a0dde401b54ab2136d3a1a307fc2eda72b90.png If you would like to talk about the game with other players and developers, don't hesitate to join our Discord! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/37978213/c8d6f8bc0cb4488b1423dc8803422518ed92f6d4.png
