Patch Notes: New Playable Characters!

We got you a present ... it's two more playable characters! Meet Karin and Professor Buff.

We also made schematic slabs easier to use and stomped a whole lot bugs. Enjoy your holidays, and if you're spending time with friends and loved ones, maybe try to rope the into some co-op ;)

Fossil Hunters Patch Notes

New Playable Characters!

  • Introducing two new characters for you to play as: Karin & Professor Buff

Fossil Snapping

  • We've changed how schematic snapping works (again)
  • Fossils now fit in schematic connectors more easily & precisely
  • We're looking for feedback on this - so tell us with the feedback reporter how you like it!

Misc Changes

  • Updated the character select screen with colored artwork & new characters
  • Players can no longer move & sweep at the same time
  • Fossils now flash briefly when connected to each other
  • Added a Save and Quit option to the pause menu (ESC no longer closes the app)
  • Feinting now loses you 1/3 of your money, down from 1/2

Bug Fixes

  • Closed several schematic related bugs that prevented completion
  • Fixed an issue caused by catching a falling (but not deploying) bridge item
  • Can no longer see player models appear for a frame after selecting a character
  • Fixed twitchy Lavamander movement
  • Lavamanders won't use lava dive FX when not in a lava zone
  • Lavamanders can now be pushed around, just walk into 'em!
  • Increased player rotation speed
  • Reduced joystick deadzone
  • Dropped coins no longer float on pits
  • Stopped Gamepad vibration when player quits/disconnects
  • Paused Gamepad vibration when game is paused

Happy Holidays!
