Goodlands (Demo)

Grow your appetite for fossil hunting as the new junior paleontologist in town! This demo is designed to be representative of the core game loop and ambience of Goodlands. It includes loads of NPCs, several quests, four dig sites (contributing to one full skeleton), a fossil cleaning mini game, and eight invertebrate fossils to collect.

Things to look forward to in the full release:

• Expanded map with a lot more NPCs, quests, and collectables
• Prehistoric fishing in crater lake inspired by creatures of the Western Interior Seaway
• Truck upgrades (boost, winch, sonar, etc.)
• Expanded museum with room for 12-14 skeletons
• Improved fossil cleaning game (more tools, complexity, win/lose conditions, etc.)
• Better character customization (more options, more dinos & co. to choose from)
• Full gamepad and steam deck support (both work well with this demo)

• Meaningful narrative thread

Goodlands is still in development and nothing is set in stone, so please give me your feedback. You can help shape this game into something truly special.
