Hey everyone!

I've been really busy during the past several months, working on a big project, but I'm back, here on National Fossil Day, to share it with you all. If you have a desktop or laptop computer, take a look at our 3D virtual museum, developed in collaboration with the University of Nebraska State Museum. You can explore seven different North American Land Mammal Ages and learn about over 30 prehistoric animals right in your web browser, no need for a headset. This is my first project as producer, and I had the opportunity to write and narrate the whole thing, with input from the museum's experts and exhibit designers.





Keep in mind, a fully 3D world like this running on the web is a mammoth undertaking for a typical computer, but we've done our best to optimize it for as many different systems as possible. We're already working on mobile versions for iOS and Android, plus a version that will work even on slow Internet connections!

Walking With Beasts is the best palaeo media documentary and no one can persuade me otherwise.

Thanks! You absolutely pinpointed it, that game was my number-one biggest influence for this project. Been living rent-free in my head since 1995.

Shame it doesn't run anymore

I actually installed Windows 95 on a virtual machine a few months ago just to replay it! It was a blast to revisit.

Yep. It was a pain, but I just googled madly until the answers appeared.
By the way, if anyone runs into any bugs or other weirdness in Expedition Nebraska, do let me know! Our dev team plans to keep issuing updates over the next few months to smooth things out.
