Description
Fossils & Archaeology Origins: Bringing the Past to Life
my passion project, which I crafted solo with a lot of heart (and my own funds!). Inspired by the classic Fossils & Archaeology mod, I'm working hard to bring back that nostalgic magic with my own twist. I've handpicked elements that resonate with the original's spirit, adding new features that I always felt should've been there.
Think of it as the classic mod you loved, but with a fresh, modern vibe!
Big news: There's now a Discord server for the mod! Join in to get the latest updates and chat with fellow fans.
Quick heads-up: We're not just dabbling in alpha anymore; we're in the beta phase! Most features are pretty much set, but they're still getting some fine-tuning and polish.
I know everyone's asking about animations. Right now, there aren't plans for super advanced ones, at least not in the early releases. That might change later, but for now, I'm focusing on getting the basics just right. And hey, remember, this isn't a F&A revival. It's a standalone project, my own take on bringing back the charm of the original.
Got ideas for new creatures? Awesome! I'm all ears. I'm juggling multiple projects, so I don't have a complete list of potential additions. Drop your suggestions in our support server!
And just to be clear: this mod isn't part of the Fossils and Archaeology Revival. It's an indie release, straight from my desk to your screens.
