Pocket Dinos is a lovely cosy game with beautiful art and a comforting soundtrack. The core gameplay loop is simple yet addictive, and I will often have it sitting in the background for a few minutes when I'm right on the cusp of being able to afford my next dino!
I've been fortunate enough to help playtest the early versions of Pocket Dinos, and Diesel has been incredibly responsive and pleasant to work with in resolving any issues I find. I'm really excited to see the new gameplay systems that are in store as the game moves into early access.
Here's a few quality of life changes based on your feedback and some bug fixes. Bug FixesResearch Potions now convert correctly when claiming the last upgradeWindowed mode now stays windowed and recenters on loadCollections now keep their scroll position when using the scrollbarIncome per min now goes to $0 when you sell all your dinos Food now stays within the habitat bounds so eggs can eat it! Quality of LifeScenery becomes transparent when hovering over it - adjustable slider in the Gameplay > Habitat settings. Made it clearer what Palettes are for by redesigning them into mini habitatsPack Boosts now have unique dino silhouette icons to reinforce their pack typeCleaned up the wording on the basket to be easier to skim Updated Offline Time text in the Help to match your current time Updated all scrollable shops to start at the top when switching tabsSlight adjustment to bounds to better match the habitat book shapeAs always, keep that feedback coming in, especially about the small stuff! Have a great week.
The first official large update is here, Research Rework! What's New in Research?Research used to sit inside each egg, as a per-egg upgrade. This has now been removed in favour of a dedicated Research page (next to the Shop), complete with lots of great global research upgrades to help your collection grow. Also, your Research Potions are now shown underneath your income so it's easy to keep track. The Research page will show your branching tree of upgrades, starting from the useful Hatch Speed increase!Earning Research Potions is the same as it was before, where every dino you own (across all habitats) is counted every 8 hours. The more dinos you own, the more Research Potions you'll receive each 8 hours. Get even more by keeping around your Legendary dinos! It may take a while to upgrade all your research, but when you do you can wear the Ramen hat (and buy more Ramen hats from the shop!). There's also an ongoing bonus when completing all the research...but I won't spoil that for you! Additional ChangesThere has been a host of improvements in this update, including quality of life changes and back end adjustments to make games run smoother. A new addition is the ability to bulk buy dino eggs if you have the money.Income rebalance for all dinosWhen the pack pricing was updated, the remaining income was not correctly adjusted for all dinos. This included the income for Rarity, Variants and Packs. As such, the rebalance updates all dinos so that the top end dinos aren't as high earners, and middle dinos are buffed a little to balance out. This will be noticeable with high level dinos earning a bit less, but overall it balances out the game in a much better way. Some of these changes were critical for the Research Rework as boosts and bonuses needed to be correctly balanced. I will be monitoring this and adjusting based on feedback.General ChangesMenu adjustments to Exit the game straight from the habitatWishlist button switched to Add a Review and small menu changesM...
We're in the final stretch now! Very soon this will go into the main build depending on a few factors. Thanks for all the help! What Changed?Switched from Vulkan to D3D12 (This may fix some issues related to streaming with OBS)VSync has been disabled (and removed) due to issues conflicting and contributing to crashes and other items - this game likely doesnt need VSync so this was the better option. Scrolling research list no longer zooms the treeDino packs 'buy' buttons simplified wording so it's not as confusingResearch timer is reset properly when starting a new gameIf this fix passes checks I'll push it across to the main branch so stay tuned!
