    Despite tedious pixel-hunting and finicky click registration, Theropods stands out with its charming prehistoric story, gorgeous pixel art, and a surprisingly deep sci-fi twist.

    A neat indie, but one that tests your patience.

    Point-and-click adventure Theropods launches August 20 for PC.

    Built with hand-crafted pixel art and zero dialogue, the title relies entirely on visual storytelling and item-based puzzle solving in a world ruled by giant reptiles.

  4. By the way, the existence of "poison boys" in the latest #Valsalia / #OutOfPlacers kind of proves that I was right and #Yinglets are basically #theropods, far closer to #velociraptors than rats.

  5. New review fresh in for #FossilFriday: Bringing to life two palaeontological expeditions and excelling at explaining scientific concepts, The Lost Dinosaurs of Egypt goes deeper into the tragic history behind Spinosaurus and resurrects the forgotten Ernst Stromer.

  7. My 25 years of palaeoart chronology...

    Isotope studies show that juvenile Limusaurus were meat-eaters but adults were plant-eaters. This is from DINOSAUR BEHAVIOUR (2023), by Prof Michael Benton (published by Princeton University Press).
