Bone Yard

Bone Yard

An idle dinosaur game for the CORSAIR XENEON EDGE. Dig up fossils, revive them in the lab and raise dinosaurs, pterosaurs and marine reptiles in a little park along the bottom of your screen. It keeps itself busy while you work or play.

Dig, revive, raise

Dig. Tap the rock, or hire a dig crew, and work down through seven dig sites, from the Red Badlands to Ash Valley, each with its own equipment drawn at the dig. Layers give fossil fragments, and sometimes amber or a curio.

Revive. Enough fragments make a skeleton. Lay out the bones yourself and it takes fewer fragments, or just assemble it. The lab turns it into an egg, or a spare skeleton of a species you already have becomes DNA: each level makes that species earn more, with no top level.

Raise. Hatchlings grow up in your pens, eat at the trough and sleep at night. Visitors pay to see them, and the coins buy pens, fences, decorations, upgrades and research.

Sky and sea. Build a lagoon for plesiosaurs and mosasaurs, and a netted aviary where pterosaurs glide over the pens.

A field journal of real facts for each of the 33 species, opened as you find, assemble and raise them.

Catches and rare variants

Now and then a supply balloon, a shooting star, a lost fossil hunter or a museum courier crosses the park. Tap one for a small bonus; let one go by and nothing is lost.

Once in a while a hatchling comes out albino, leucistic, melanistic, striped, sunset-coloured or, very rarely, Golden. Collect them in the journal.

New dig seasons (optional)

Start the dig again whenever you like for Renown, which makes every season stronger, and Golden trowels for the Field School: head starts, equipment up to level 50, Deep Time (a dig site below everything) and Mythic variants. Your trophies, journal and variants are kept. Everything in the first season can be reached without ever starting again.

Your PC joins in (optional)

Through iCUE's own Sensors, FPS and Media plugins: a game puts the park on a floodlit night shift, a CPU warmer than its own usual brings a warm spell, music adds a little more and brings tour buses, and your fans blow wind over the aviary. The game is fully playable without your PC's data.

Idle, fair and private

The park keeps running while you are away, up to 8 hours (more with research), and tells you what happened.

Spending always takes two taps.

Dinosaurs never die or get ill. At worst they get grumpy until you feed them.

No in-game purchases, no ads, nothing to sign up for. No network,

Sizes and languages

Every size of the XENEON EDGE, across and upright. One widget can show the whole park or a single panel.

English, French and Spanish: it follows iCUE's language, or pick one in the settings.

Saving

Your progress is kept in this widget. Moving or resizing it keeps your progress; removing it or adding a new copy starts a new game. To move a park, copy your save code (the gear button) and load it into the new widget.

Needs iCUE 5.51 or later and a CORSAIR XENEON EDGE.
