| Sunshine Manor ...

| Developer Diary - May 2020 | 2020-05-24 | In the past few weeks we've made some major progress on Sunshine Manor and now have the dialog system, mission system and plot pretty much nailed. Looking back on the comments and reviews that Camp Sunshine received it was obvious that we included way too many fetch quests, not enough action and that damned Bear could sneak up on you at any point ... Sunshine Manor changes this. Sunshine Manor features a really nice twist on the survival horror game, and we won't outright spoil it yet but this little screenshot should give you a hint! We're very much hoping that we will be able to launch on Kickstarter later this year to help us to gather the |
| We're now on Patreon | 2020-04-23 | Over the years we've been asked "Why aren't you two on Patreon?" quite a lot.

So, we're now live on Patron ... here's the link! https://www.patreon.com/fossilgames We're offering a load of unreleased stuff, music, behind the scenes looks at Sunshine Manor and even the chance to participate in the beta testing too! See you there! |
| Sunshine Manor - Dev Diary - November 2019 | 2019-11-19 | We are hard at work on Sunshine Manor, and wanted to give you a sneak peek of the graphics direction we're taking with this second (or should that be first) chapter of the Sunshine Saga. That's right, we're going full 8 bit with our graphics! Hopefully by now you know that we're two old school gamers and the thought of doing a full 8 bit title (with exception for maybe the music) is too fun to pass up. In our early tests a while back, we found that they gave off a far more creepy vibe and we're definitely playing around with this at the moment to give you a truly tense and terrifying experience. Gone is the huge map of Camp Sunshine (complete |
| Introducing : Sunshine Manor | 2019-10-17 | Hello Campers ... it's been a while! We haven't been idle though, far from it ... we have a little surprise for you coming late 2020. Over the past few years we've spent time working on other titles, but none have captured our imaginations as much as the Sunshine Universe and the story of how it all began. All we can tell you is that this story takes place at the same time as Camp Sunshine but features an entirely new group of teenagers who spend the night in Sunshine Manor, the home of Clement Atkins, former children's television presenter in the 1950s. The game will feature an entirely new story, brand new soundtrack and we will be working |

Here's what has changed ... Crashing Bug We're delighted that this bug seems to be fixed now. It was happening thanks to a run away preloading system we had in place. This has now been removed and a more bespoke version has been added, we'd like to thank steam user Spike for testing this alongside us ... Twigs Be careful around camp |

Camp Spawn Mechanic We have heard from many players that the most frustrating thing is navigating the camp with a constant threat of the Bear spawning and slashing at you super fast. So we've wracked our brains and we think we've come up with a far better method of Bear operations. Now, when you are outside in the camp, Sunshine Bear will not spawn at all ... What? We hear you cry ... Well that's because he will ALWAYS be |
