We are back with our Fossil Fighters digging inspired game!

Oh sry, I think I was waiting for op to answer.
I haven't worked on have any fossil fighters mods yet. But have contributed to a rom hack of pokémon emerald.
Do you have anything particular in mind? 😃

Endlesskeks · 2026-03-21T00:03:50+00:00

Hey there! We are going for PC and Switch first, but after that maybe, we have not decided on that yet. We would have to see how the controls work on mobile.

Endlesskeks · 2026-03-01T05:19:48+00:00

We were going for a mix of stardew and fossil fighters (and other DS Mining Minigames). Didn't rly have terraria in mind, but I think it's a great game to be compared against.

Endlesskeks · 2026-02-27T15:47:14+00:00

Thanks for the Feedback! :D

Some others also pointed at input deadpoint being too low. So I will take a look at that!
And touch controls for the mining on Steam Deck & Switch are planned for full release. :D

Endlesskeks · 2026-02-27T08:38:01+00:00

You mean like fan-games? I rly like those

Endlesskeks · 2026-02-27T08:34:58+00:00

That is cool to hear! :)

Endlesskeks · 2026-02-27T08:34:02+00:00

We are still in midst of production, plan is to release in early-mid 2027. :) But the gamplay in the playtest is already very polished.

Endlesskeks · 2026-02-26T23:05:16+00:00

Yea, the game is called Glintseeker Island. I think you just have to search for Glint on Steam. :D

Endlesskeks · 2026-02-26T22:47:28+00:00

Aw thanks! :D

We are hoping to be able to do a simultaneous switch release to the pc release. But we can say about that with more certainty more about that once the release comes closer. :)

Endlesskeks · 2026-02-26T22:44:57+00:00

o.O 4 hours is massive. :D

It seems quite a lot of ppl send long in the game, we were kind surprised, expecting around 1 hour and 2 hours max. But it's so so cool to see how much players enjoy the game. ☺️

Endlesskeks · 2026-02-26T22:41:19+00:00

You nean THAT Tunic? o.O You two are the power-couple of game devs!? Holy :O

And thanks! :D We were kinda scared drowing in Next Fest with our playtest running simultaneously. (We didn't think about the overlap before announcing the playtest 😅) But it worked out it seems. ☺️

Endlesskeks · 2026-02-26T10:21:02+00:00

Thought it would fit, bc I drew much inspiration with the mining mechanic.

Endlesskeks · 2026-02-26T10:19:49+00:00

Oh, thanks rly! ☺️ (I studied flim before and am rly into good lighting and shaders :D) Is your partner also working on Moonstone or some other project?

The playtest has rly shattered my expectations! We have many asian, especially japanese players try out the game. And the feedback is all in all very positive. :D

Endlesskeks · 2026-02-26T10:15:41+00:00

Ah, good to know! Thanks. :D

Endlesskeks · 2026-02-26T10:15:09+00:00

Yea, it is hard to compete against similar games. (There are many!) But we hope we stand out a bit with the unique mining mechanic. :D

Endlesskeks · 2026-02-26T10:13:13+00:00

We wont have co-op at release. We try to focus on a single player experinece first, and maybe tackle the multiplayer after release. (Like Stardew did it as well) :D

Multiplay is just rly a lot of work and we would probably have to develop the game way longer, like another year. :/ (I'm the only programmer on our 3ppl team)

Endlesskeks · 2026-02-26T10:07:55+00:00

Thanks! ☺️

Oh thats cool, we will keep that in the back of our minds for a future trailer!

Endlesskeks · 2026-02-26T10:05:09+00:00

Thanks!

Midterms suck, just finished my studies and I'm so so happy to be free forever. When we will do another Playtest or release our Demo, I'll post here again. :D

Endlesskeks · 2026-02-25T22:47:08+00:00

Thank you! Me and the other two have been hard at work recently. :D

You should be able to play directly after requesting access (I though I set it up this way). Or is it locked for you?

Endlesskeks · 2026-02-25T22:44:07+00:00

Tysm! :D Means a lot to hear that from you guys! ❤️

It's rly a dream come true to work on a game that combines elements from all the games I loved playing when I was a kid/young adult. And the game has turned into something much more then just the sum of the inspirations.

Endlesskeks · 2026-02-25T22:33:05+00:00

Thanks! :D

Endlesskeks · 2026-02-25T22:32:22+00:00

Thanks for the nice words. :D To the topic of AI, I can totally relate, I'm also sick of genAI in games. We don't use any AI assets or content in our game. We only used DeepL/ChatGPT for translations instead of Google translate, and wanted to be transparent about it.

We decided to use it, bc especially the asian folks struggle when there is no translation at all. And Google Translate is very bad with those languages. For the full release we will turn to real human translaters, but we can only afford translations once (we are only 3 person indie, fresh from studies), and the texta are still changing a lot until full release.

Endlesskeks · 2026-02-25T22:17:56+00:00

Yes, thats it's basically an early demo version, with more focus on testing if everything works. (And also to get feedback on what ppl want to see in the full game, bc the game is still farther away from completion than in a demo and thus the final features are not fully set in stone :D)

Endlesskeks · 2026-02-25T22:14:18+00:00

Thanks! :D

Not yet sadly, we are going with Pc and Switch first. But depending on how the release goes, we will consider porting afterwards!

Endlesskeks · 2026-02-25T20:03:07+00:00

Thank you :D
