A little late for the #EuropeanHeritageDays but still: Plesiosaurs are among the most iconic mesozoic marine reptiles of Europe. The first plesiosaur was discovered in 1821 by Mary Anning - a talented fossil huntress and major contributor to paleontology.

What’s better for #MondayMotivation than a giant flying snack? 🍫 🪰 Meganeuropsis was a #Griffinfly, a group of giant #ExtinctInsect from the Permian epoch. Meet them, and other delicious friends, in pleistogames.itch.io/cisuralian-c...

Somehow, the flappy-bird moves of Diplocaulus in pleistogames.itch.io/cisuralian-c... are based on real science! Back in 1980, Cruickshank and Skews used a replica and a wind tunnel to show that tilting the head up while facing the current would propulse it upwards ⤴️

Cisuralian Cruise is a free spooky arcade game where you play as a young Diplocaulus, swimming your way through the dangers of the Early Permian. The last update is live at pleistogames.itch.io/cisuralian-c..., and my Dimetrodon is starving to meet you!

I am away from home until Sunday... but I've not skipped a single #GMTKjam since 2022, so let's make a super small game fitting the theme, featuring extinct species and a reasonable amount of science - all that within 1 actual day!

I just updated my website at pleistogames.fr, right in time for the #GameCamp. If you're going there and want to talk paleontology, evolution, worldbuilding or creature design, please reach out to me!
