Okay after learning that some prefer how Steam handles Windows apps under Proton under Linux, I wanted to have that as an available option for Linux. So you will now find that as a launch option when starting the game. It's a launch script for that Proton Mode, and after installing a whole bunch of Proton versions to test them out I realized how quickly you can run out of hard drive space doing that. I moved my Proton versions to a second hard drive, only for it to no longer detect it in my script... So I made an interactive Proton Setup script you can now use to configure your system. You don't have to be too specific when specifying the mount point of your Proton installations, the script is fairly robust to figure it out (let me know if you run into any edge-cases). You can specify your preferred version, or leave it blank and it will prefer Experimental. But for whatever reason if you want to try use a specific Proton version it will use those settings. You will still need to download Proton itself on Steam and move it into that drive you want to set it up on, if it differs from a default installation. If you move JAMs to some random drive, it should scan that drive's Steam common folder for Proton versions too without having to specify it. Should work!I set this up on a separate depot, so this should just remain static on the game now, when I make new versions I won't have to maintain these scripts. This way at least you can set up your game without needing to use a text editor to change the files, and if I push out an update to the scripts it won't alter your config file either.And of course, the native Linux build still is the primary launch option for Linux machines.

Hey Ponderers!Another dev status update coming your way! I had some insight that perhaps the best way to communicate where I am in this release sprint is to write out the content roadmap that will lead to release.--The Final Release Content Pass--The Beginning (Magic + Scholar)

Hello everyone, we’re excited to officially reveal Dino Time Raiders, a tongue-in-cheek, time-travelling incremental park-building strategy game where dinosaurs, business decisions, and chaos collide!In Dino Time Raiders, you assemble a team of scientists (and probably a few unqualified interns) to travel back in time, capture dinosaurs, and return to the present to build your very own prehistoric theme park. It all sounds sensible enough, until the raptors escape, the herbivores eat the landscaping budget, and your PR team has to explain another “guest incident”.Gameplay is built around a clear, accessible loop. You head into short capture missions across different prehistoric eras, bring dinosaurs back to your park, then manage, expand, and upgrade your facilities to attract more visitors and unlock new opportunities. Each era introduces new risks, tougher dinosaurs, and fresh ways for things to go hilariously wrong.What to expectTime-travelling dinosaur capture missions across multiple prehistoric erasPark building and management focused on layout, upgrades, and visitor flowIncremental progression through research, income, and expansionA lighthearted tone filled with chaos, humour, and in-game mishapsCharming pixel art bringing tiny humans and massive dinosaurs to lifePlayable demo coming February 12!We’re also happy to announce that a playable demo will be available on February 12, giving you your first hands-on taste of dino capture missions and park management ahead of Steam Next Fest.This is just the beginning. Over the coming weeks, we’ll be sharing more details, gameplay, and updates as we get closer to release. What do do know?👉 Wishlist Dino Time Raiders to stay up to date on the demo and future announcements. 👉 Follow us on social media and join our Discord to share feedback and chat directly with the team.Thanks for checking it out, and welcome to the park!

The final touches have been added and the art style has been improved upon. Also coming will be a new look to the skill tree and a change to how your racecar is upgraded. Here is a sneak peak of an environment in the full game:Watch the game get developed live on twitch if you want to see more updates!

Fixed chickens cannot move or be moved to unlocked island when loaded. Fixed item UFO spawns chicken leg in wrong location.

Hey,I have just pushed a small update to the Rock Bottom demo with some quality of life improvements based on your feedback.UI Improvements: Level select buttons now use a click to select system which means no more frustrations to select a level. To ensure you can still see which resources are in which levels, I have added a hover tooltip that displays these.SFX Adjustments: Dialogue blip sounds have been rebalanced and pitch shifted to a more muted tone.Jetpack Rework: The jetpack now uses its own fuel gauge instead of draining stamina. A small orange ring appears near your character showing fuel remaining.Other Fixes: New area unlock popups now wait 3 seconds before they can be dismissed, and the demo welcome message has been updated with a note about the accelerated progression, as well as other small quality of life changes.I have gotten a lot of suggestions to change the balance of the game... although I am considering it, I will keep the DEMO balance as is for now, until I am able to figure out impactful ways to restructure the flow of the game. Thank you so much for checking out the demo! Your feedback is vital as we continue to refine the descent.-Zachary :)

Breeding feature has been added to fish. When female fish are fully mature and there is a male fish of the same species, breeding buttons will now appear. You can breed once every 24 hours and get eggs of the same fish species. You must have at least one empty space in your aquarium for breeding. Each egg takes up 1 space in the aquarium.Now when you buy a fish, instead of a fish directly, an egg will drop into the aquarium and you will wait for the egg to hatch. The time will be slightly longer for higher level fish.Fish hatched from eggs will have a random gender. All your existing fish will remain male.If you experience problems with the save system, press the "reset game" button from the settings button. We don't expect this to happen, but we don't want any problems in your gameplay. If you experience a problem, this will be the best thing to do.Adult fish will now provide you with income. You can see this information when you click on a fish. Passive income only works while the game is open.We have made some changes to the fish breeding and earning system.If a fish goes hungry for 24 hours, it will get sick, and sick fish will die if not treated within 24 hours. This is not something you can see in starter fish because they grow quickly and growing fish don't get hungry. (This is how it is for now, but we may change it in the future. Large fish may get hungry.)Touch mode has been added. This causes your fish to flee. It doesn't negatively affect them for now. We added it for your enjoyment.

Hello,I know its not Monday yet everywhere, but I wanted to give a little heads-up how things are going and what is planned next. Also I have just released the Demo version of the game, so might as well do it in one update - more on that below.Big Thanks to the Player CommunityFirst of all I want to send my Thanks to all of you for helping me make it to through to 1.0. That's all the Beta testers, community contributors, streamers and of course all the players who bought and played the game.More than four years ago I decided to make a game as a hobby project next to work and family to prove myself it can be done. And thanks to all your support it turned out it can! After 6,000 hours on the project we made it through seven major release beta tests, each with its specific quirks and problems. We twisted and turned mechanisms, we made stuff work for various play styles. We added tens of new features based on your feedback each update - extending this early access period to more than twice the expected length! So massive thanks to all of you. And because my wife is also part of the player community I want to express special huge thanks to her for everything (especially for two wonderful kids she gave us during these four years). And actually you should all know ... the mammoths were her idea.Upcoming updates & patchesAs you may have noticed there are some usual bugfixes and balancing updates coming every couple of days now - I am estimating most of the problems will be stabilized within next two weeks via patches (guessing based on how previous updates went, though this one has undeniably higher influx of new players and thus more ideas for improvement). Civilization recoveryOne particularly hot area is that of rebuilding a fallen civilization. As you may of may not have figured out, collapsing (at least partially) is almost inevitable part of the game. My take here on the story of human civilization is that it is a story of rising, falling and about cultural persistenc...

Idle modeWe have finally added the new Idler mode that unlocks after completing the campaign.No timer, no pressure, just chill and munchNew Farmageddon Lofi beats!Some more balance and quality of life changes you probably won't notice : )Thanks for all the support and for sharing your feedback, means a lot!DavidObys Byte Games

Heya Pinies! It's our darndest pleasure to announce that we've formalized a road map for Asbury Pines' journey from Early Access to 1.0! Without exaggeration, the invested and thoughtful support and feedback from our game community made this path -- and everything leading to it -- possible. I know we say "thank you" a lot, but we guffin' mean it! TLDR: we plan to overhaul gameplay systems, deepen targeted points of narrative immersion with new and edited content, and continue with quality enhancements.In two months since the title’s Early Access release, our tiny team of two has released eight game patches focused on quality improvements and features that help to optimize the current gameplay experience and customize it to different playstyles (especially those that want to sidestep the idler elements). These updates have also led Asbury Pines to be Steam Deck verified ✅. The next order of business is reimagining the game systems and the grand narrative ending for 1.0 so that returning players will get a significantly refreshed experience and updated story, while new players benefit from playing a more perfect title.While elements in the following Early Access roadmap may change from community testing and feedback, Chaystar has targeted a number of areas for improvement.Gameplay UpgradesThe overall goal of the gameplay updates is to refocus strategy from managing characters between tasks to creating key efficiencies in their constant work. The plan includes:Guided tutorial modeExpanded character capabilities to enable simultaneous actions (like resource production and perk research)Deeper character skill leveling system New economic production elements, including homes for increasing town populations and warehouses for resource storageVarious new tabs that directly contribute to resource production strategy: Friendships, Learning, Conflicts, TomesResearched artifacts can be equipped by characters for various boosts to work and skillsUp to four new soundtracks, inclu...

Here's a small update that optimizes the game a lil bit. It should now run faster and use less memory. Additionally I fixed an issue where the resolution and display settings weren't being set properly. Cheers and thanks for playing!

Hey everyone!tl;dr: The Excremental Game Demo is now live on Steam!Nearly two months ago, we had this very dumb idea: make an incremental game about poop and call it Excremental Game. It started as a dumb little joke project - something we worked on for about a week before uploading it to itch. But a surprising number of people played it, enjoyed it, and shared a ton of helpful feedback. That’s when we decided it deserved a bit more love.Alongside launching the Steam page, we also ran a public playtest here on Steam. Over the past 20 days, it’s seen far more players than we ever expected, which helped massively with identifying balance issues, squashing bugs, and even rethinking some core design decisions.Now the game has reached a state we're genuinely happy with, and the demo has officially launched.If you already tried the playtest, there’s still plenty of reason to jump back in. Beyond general polish and bug fixes, the skill trees have been expanded with new upgrades that encourage more active play.And yes, the demo includes Steam achievements too!Thanks so much to everyone who’s played, tested, and shared feedback so far. The game honestly wouldn’t be what it is today without that support, and we're super excited to finally share this demo with you all.

🎨 Architectural & Design Bureau: • Backgrounds (70%): Changes have occurred in the production process. Both our lead and new artists have stepped down for personal reasons. We have found replacements: artsam has taken on one background, and two more were drawn by an active subscriber (huge thanks for your help!). The search for additional hands continues. • CG Artwork (70%): This is our current priority, so most of our forces are concentrated here. To speed up the drawing process, an additional artist has been brought on board. • Sprites (30%): Temporarily on hold—we will return to them immediately after the CGs are finished.💻 Technical Department: • Code (30%): The process is ongoing but slower than we would like.
