Hello normally it shouldn't happen. It may caused by the fact I completely rework the save system to get something more stable but old save aren't compatible. Do you experience this behavior multiple times or just at first load?
Sorry to hear that :( I'm in hollydays for one week, I will investigate and fixe it when I'm back, sorry for the delay. In the mean time old version are available on the page if needed.
I am having an issue when I boot up the application it is not at the bottom of the screen and it is floating so far to the right of my screen that I cant interact with the menu buttons. I have tried moving it with (win+shift+arrow key) but it refuses to move. Is there a solution to this?
I've tried running it a few times but everthing is just a pink block on my screen with no details, when i click on them the info pops up but I cant actually see the dinosaurs
hi! it seems like currently all dinosaur eggs will hatch a triceratops, i've bought both stegosaurus and triceratops eggs and have only gotten triceratops out of both eggs
Hey! I LOVE THE DINOSAURS, but it's a little laggy when I bring up the HUD. Could that just be on my end? Thanks ahead of time!
Edit: After reading some of the posts, it seems like the cursor lag has already been brought to attention. Thanks again for being aware and addressing concerns! Looking forward to future updates.
Update: Thank you for fixing the cursor lag!! Now my dinosaurs hatch, don't move, and die. :x How do I get rid of the skeletons? There are many.
I just nabbed this game and I adore it. I'm so glad I can help support it! Will there be any possibility in the future to change the color of the dino or unlock certain color combos?
have you considered making plants hideable? i love having the dino as something to watch while i work, but the clutter of the plants takes up too much screenspace for me
Hi. Um all... everything at the bottom of my screen is a purple box. I can click on them and see what they are ie: 'plant' but other than that I think it is broken.
I am running an intel i7-2600 3.40 Ghz with integrated graphics.
Hello Soggymilk, it's really weird, dinosaurs and plants are using a custom shader to being able to change colors dynamically, you computer seems to don't process correctly.
But you're the first one raising this issue. Your graphic driver are up to date ? It may cause this type of issue.
Device Manager confirms that drivers are up to date. Intel HD Graphics driver version 9.17.10.4459. Intel driver and support assistant also confirms that no updates are available. Thanks so much for responding so fast!
Is it possible to have an option to have the objects be click-through? Once I have it set up Id like to go about my business without accidentally clicking on leaves
This is adorable and I see it pushing the eSheep companion out of my second monitor :D
I'll keep waiting for an updated version however, because it's still a bit too buggy on my end - frozen dino after renaming him, mouse lag, full nine yards, but I see all of my issues are already mentioned in comments that the dev has acknowledged, so I REST EASY AND ASSURED 🦕
Hi! really cute game, but i'm encountering issues.
When I name my dinosaur, he immediately falls asleep because his energy bar drops to 0. if i save and exit then, then load the game again, he's not sleeping but he's just standing there and frozen. this doesn't happen if i don't name a dinosaur.
Hello! I love desktop dinos and am so glad that I purchased it. The animations are really cute and well done! It makes me happy seeing them sit at the bottom of my screen :)
I have unfortunately run into a bug though, where my dino is frozen -- this happened after I switched the program between my monitors a couple times. Wait times for the eggs have frozen as well. I have even replaced them with new eggs and their metres are not going up. I tried deleting the game and reinstalling but my save file keeps loading in, so I can't reset. Is there a way to reset it?
Again, love the game -- it's the perfect amount of simple and entertaining for a desktop pet, and I know there's still some bugs to work out with the new update! I can't wait to see what gets added to it in the future. Thanks for your hard work. :)
Hey, I'm getting the same issue with my dinos freezing, even if I buy new ones and they hatch, when swapping the app between screens. Mentioning that on one screen I have my taskbar vertical (main screen) and on the 2nd screen it's horizontal. Maybe that's related somehow
I don't know if I'm missing something really obvious but I'm on version 1.2 and there doesn't seem to be a shop... I've only hatched one egg - the starter stego so I don't know if it will open after that but people have talked about a dollar sign which I definitely can't see at the moment Lol thanks in advance sorry
There's a little white tab that should be on the right side of your monitor; if you click it, the + is the shop and the $ lets you sell your items&dinos. If you have it open on a second monitor it might be cutting off the tab (mine did) so you could try switching or resizing your screen. :)
The Triceratops and stego number issue I got as well. My Green/green stego egg hatched into a green/orange (default) triceratops baby. I sold it, and tried to hatch another one, with blue/yellow stego. It hatched again to default color triceratops (green/orange).
Cute little toy, but desperately needs some overlay settings. Like, I don't want it above active windows, or fullscreen videos. Prefer it right on the desktop.
Edit: The app also introduces a noticeable bit of cursor lag, even when hidden. A bit of a shame.
I've noticed when I exit and reopen the game, all the plants I've sold come back and then I can sell them again and get infinate money, and it happens again and again, I just want to get rid of some plant clutter haha XD help!
Could you persist the game periodically? I *believe* the game persists only on exit so on power loss or ungraceful exit (forced restart), for instance, we lose progress. Saving every few minutes would be enough IMHO.
Support vertical taskbars (by which I mean, let the dino rest on the bottom of the monitor/desktop).

I'm having the same problem :(
The application stays in the background for me :( Maybe because I have 2 monitors?
i bought this but realized that its not compatible on macOS :(

Can you add an undo sell button. I accidently sold a dino D=
For some reason, I stopped getting coins and when I buy something with those coins they do not appear I had to restart my game.
Hello penguineater, I will check it may be the interface not refreshing, but coin are correctly added this is way you count is good after restarting.
I just nabbed this game and I adore it. I'm so glad I can help support it!
Will there be any possibility in the future to change the color of the dino or unlock certain color combos?
Hello, yes this is something I want to add in the future.
how do you feed the dino?
If you add the food plants from the shop they'll eat them :D It's real cute
thank you
I just bought this a little and after growing up, my stegosaurus stopped moving and wouldn't eat? I'm not sure if I did something wrong but help
Sorry it's a bug, it will be fixe with the next update coming at the end of the week.
is this ever going to be free
No sadly I can't release my game for free all the time, I have to eat. But the price it pretty fair, don't you think ?
yes
have you considered making plants hideable? i love having the dino as something to watch while i work, but the clutter of the plants takes up too much screenspace for me
Hello, it's really good idea, I will include this in setting planned for v1.3.
yay
i can not do it
How soon new update?
Next update is the 1.2.1, it will be release on June 25th. It will be focus on bugs fixing. 1.3, with new species will be release in July.

btw the menu works... I think it is just missing textures

Where can I report some a bug i found? It does not break the game but it spoils it
Hello yes, please do. You can post it on the game page or by email : contact@harmonie-games.com
can't wait the v 1.3
Yo, did you try to build with IL2CPP module rather than Mono ? Maybe it will solve the cursor lag
(gg that's a real cute project btw, my stegosaurus' twerking while I'm typing that)
Thanks for kind words and your suggestion, I will try.
This is adorable and I see it pushing the eSheep companion out of my second monitor :D

cute game! perfect for ppl with adhd. can't wait to see it progress
it's making my brain very happy :
would it be possible to run the game in 144 fps? the noticeable mouse change is messing with me. Incredible cute game!
Hello Lowlel, I'm currently working on performances improvments, I hope it will fixe mouse slowdown.
This looks adorable
Hi! really cute game, but i'm encountering issues.
When I name my dinosaur, he immediately falls asleep because his energy bar drops to 0. if i save and exit then, then load the game again, he's not sleeping but he's just standing there and frozen. this doesn't happen if i don't name a dinosaur.
hello Millimallow, thanks for your precise feedback, I will try to reproduce with your indications.
thank you!
another thing i noticed is that when my dinosaur fell asleep abnormally, he disappeared below my taskbar. when he sleeps normally he sleeps on it.

Hello, thanks for the kind words. I'm sorry to ear your issue with frozzen kinosaurs. I will try to reproduce and correct it.
To reset your saves, you can find it here : C:\Users\[YourUsername]\AppData\LocalLow\HarmonieGames\Desktop Dinosaurs
Just delete the dinosaurs files, it should be enought and you will not loose your money.

I don't know if I'm missing something really obvious but I'm on version 1.2 and there doesn't seem to be a shop... I've only hatched one egg - the starter stego so I don't know if it will open after that but people have talked about a dollar sign which I definitely can't see at the moment
Lol thanks in advance sorry

Thanks Buskerfrog, you're right. Is this ok YeboiTt ?
Ah, yes! Thank you both! :D
Thanks for your feedback SirLonelytheGreat it helps me, I will fixe this.
The Triceratops and stego number issue I got as well. My Green/green stego egg hatched into a green/orange (default) triceratops baby. I sold it, and tried to hatch another one, with blue/yellow stego. It hatched again to default color triceratops (green/orange).
I love this game! But, the second time I've opened the game, my dino did not move and eventually died :c How can I fix it?
Did it arrive each time your run the game ? Or just once ?
Cute little toy, but desperately needs some overlay settings. Like, I don't want it above active windows, or fullscreen videos. Prefer it right on the desktop.
Edit: The app also introduces a noticeable bit of cursor lag, even when hidden. A bit of a shame.
You will work on settings and performance, sorry for that.
UNITY هل هي مصنوعة ب
hello, yes it's done with Unity3d
I've noticed when I exit and reopen the game, all the plants I've sold come back and then I can sell them again and get infinate money, and it happens again and again, I just want to get rid of some plant clutter haha XD help!
hello Lucifea, enjoy the exploit, I will correct it, thanks for raising this :D
This is -SUPER- cute !!
Hey @HarmonieGames, two feature requests:
the second thing is already supported
hmm, it isnt appearing over here. Ill double check it
Hello Bruno,
I will put a developp and auto save feature in the futur.
Vertical taskbar has been supported in 1.2, do you still have issue with this ?
Thanks for the reply! I was testing with the previous version - I bought the game a few hours before you released 1.2, it seems.
My Stegosaurus just grew up, but its meters were empty, and then it turned into a skeleton. Is that supposed to happen?
I think i had the same issue
Hello Elisemara, I'm sorry it's not suposed to happen. I will try to reproduce and fixe the issue.
why does the new version lag my mouse
Same, just downloaded and I'm also getting some mouse lag
i'm not sure if it's a bug or not, but when the game is hidden, the menu can't be retracted, but other than that, the update is really cool :)
I just found that it's working if the game is hidden from the notification area !
1.2 breaks on dual monitors. love the dinos tho
