Late last year, I was successful in applying for a small grant from Screen Tasmania to develop Bonesweeper into a larger game. You can follow for more information here, here, or here. Exciting!

To celebrate, I've updated the prototype here with a new skeleton and a few miscellaneous improvements.

The new dinosaur is Umoonasaurus, an Australian Plesiosaur which I first learned of via an opalised specimen named "Eric," which gained popularity as part of a fundraising drive that allowed the Australian Museum to purchase it in the early 1990s.

Please note that if you have an existing  game that you would like to continue, you will need to rename "bonesweeper" folder to "bonesweeper-prototype" in the following location:

• Linux:

  ~/.local/share/bonesweeper/

  (note that this respects XDG_DATA_HOME)
• Mac:

  ~/Library/Application Support/bonesweeper/

• Windows:

  %APPDATA%/boneweeper/

Enjoy!
