Hi, i love this game but it is so buggy...and can anyone do evolutions? Everytime i am trying add some game crush.. i love it anyway but have someone same experiance?Thanks!
Just bought this! It's really cute, but it seems to be glitching for me. It won't let me rename my dinosaur (I can click the button, but nothing happens), and I can't move any of the plants, either. Luckily I can still pet my dinosaur and make her eat etc., but that's it.
ETA: In overlay mode, my dinosaur also sits all the way at the bottom of my screen, instead of on top of the task bar like in the trailer video. It's causing problems, since trying to click on it (even if I click on the game in the taskbar first) makes me accidentally click on my apps instead. It also crashes whenever I try to apply evolutions to my dinosaurs, like expanding their lives or happiness meter. I'm using Windows 11, BTW!
hey so i have it open, and it works when i open game. how ever if its first person, my mouse goes onto my other screen(i have a second screen connected to my computer) normally when it is closed my mouse is locked to the first person screen.
I got really excited about the recent update, as I've been following this game for a while, but unfortunately I'm finding it basically unplayable :(
Started off and immediately got a Tyrannosaurus egg in addition to the Triceratops egg I spawned in with. However, in Overlay mode, it's impossible to interact with anything before clicking the app icon in the tray first (this is a bug that's been present on-and-off between each update, some versions it gets fixed but then it comes back in the next).
Then as soon as I hatched my rex, I went to the 'evolutions' tab and upgraded the hunger one. IMMEDIATE crash. Restarted the application, and both rex and trike were in their eggs with the starting hour of hatch time left (not too concerning, the save system doesn't save constantly and of course I haven't even been playing very long), but then I discovered that I could no longer interact with anything except for the menu. I couldn't click the eggs (even after clicking into the app via taskbar), the ball, or any of the decor/food when selecting them to move. Since all I could do was interact with the menu, I attempted to upgrade the rex's hunger evolution again (while still in egg this time) and it crashed again.
It's a shame because when this game works, I absolutely love it. I've played some of the previous versions in overlay mode for cumulative hours and it's so charming and fun. When it doesn't work, though, it's hard to feel motivated to open the application at all.
Purchased and downloaded on Mac OS X. Unzipped the file and moved the .app to my Applications folder, then I went and started it and was met with an error saying "The application 'Desktop Dinsaurs.app' can't be opened." help!
The game really caught my attention, specifically the part that you can do your daily tasks while watching and taking care of dinosaurs, but I feel that it is not the experience I expected since beyond the bugs that you may see I feel that using it on the desktop is not comfortable since whenever I want to interact with the game I have to select the game on the taskbar to be able to do something and if I accidentally click somewhere else I have to click the icon again of the game to try again so it gets tedious after a while, I really thought it would be something more Desktop Goose style. As for the bugs, I find things like the dinosaur staying still even though it continues playing the walking animation. It also happens that sometimes when I select the game in the task bar it doesn't let me go back to another window until I exit. to select the game mode and I go back in, something really frustrating if you think about the fact that I have to do something else besides playing this (which to be honest, is the only attractive thing about this game that otherwise wouldn't make me play it) , I really hope that the creator can solve and improve this, so at the moment I do not recommend it anymore, you have to look around, since it is not expensive
It's something I really wanted, but the gameplay is so, so wonky on my windows 10 machine. All the dinos seem to be stuck walking in place forever, petting them is worse than retro pixel hunting point and clicks (it's like 4 pixels in a random place of a sprite, that's not even always a dinousaur - e.g. could be under head) and it makes my old-ish work computer's fan spin like crazy (which is fair for a modern game, but on the other hand the game is drawing like 6 sprites at a time and could run on NES). Sometimes the dino "avatar" on the list is not present and it seems like eventually all my dinos fall into 0%,0%,0% coma (is this death? they are still twitching lol).
Most of the time I can't use the overlay mode without clicking the app icon on tray first.
I hope it gets fixed, because I don't think anybody else is doing this concept. 1.5.4 is impossible to play - at least in overlay mode, which was the main selling point for me.
I have some dinosaurs stuck in an undead state. They haven't been able to die even after all their meters hit 0. All they can do is walk in place. Is there a way to fix them, or are they lost causes?
Don't mean to be a bother but were steam keys ever sent out? If so I never received one I've made sure to sift through every email I could find so I just want to make sure I'm not remembering something wrong ty <3

Hello,
Please use itchio app to play on Mac OS it works for people having the same issue.

I have got the game from a very long time.
I love everything that was added to the game.
I plan to make a video for the game in YouTube.
Also i want to know if the dinosaur age increases according to time or when he eats , sleeps and how much time does it take ?
Thanks you, i hope you add other features quickly.
I never got my steam key. Where is it? I bought the game on the date 2021-05-25 and haven't got any emails about steam keys as I know.
I have some dinosaurs stuck in an undead state. They haven't been able to die even after all their meters hit 0. All they can do is walk in place. Is there a way to fix them, or are they lost causes?
Check their info probably dead
Don't mean to be a bother but were steam keys ever sent out? If so I never received one I've made sure to sift through every email I could find so I just want to make sure I'm not remembering something wrong ty <3
