Bone Yard

An idle game for the Corsair XENEON EDGE: dig up fossils, revive them in the lab and raise dinosaurs in a little pixel park along the bottom of your screen. It keeps going while you play, and while you are away. An iCUE widget with nothing else to install.

What you need In testing
Bone Yard across the whole Extra Large slot by day. The top bar shows 48.2K coins at 61 a second, 35 amber, 13 dinosaurs and 413 visitors an hour, with menu buttons for Dig, Fossils, Lab, Shop, Pens, Research, Trophies and Save. Below, a pixel park of four fenced pens on green grass under a blue sky, with small dinosaurs wandering in each: long-necked and crested plant eaters, small raptors in a steel-fenced dirt pen, a triceratops by a pond. A fifth lot is for sale. Visitors walk the path along the bottom past lamp posts.

In testing. Bone Yard is built and is being tested on the XENEON EDGE before it goes on the Elgato Marketplace. This page will link to it once it is listed.

How it plays

  • Dig. Tap the rock, or hire a dig crew, to work down through five dig sites, from the Red Badlands to Ash Valley. Each layer gives up fossil fragments, and now and then amber or a curio.
  • Revive. Enough fragments make a skeleton. The lab revives it into an egg, which hatches after a while in an incubator.
  • Raise. Hatchlings grow up in your pens, wander, eat at the trough and sleep at night. Plant eaters and meat eaters need pens of their own, and the big meat eaters need an electric fence.
  • Grow the park. Visitors pay to see your dinosaurs; rarer, happier and grown-up ones earn more. Spend it on the dig, the lab, new pens, fences, decorations and research.

There are 23 species from common to legendary, all real genus names, with 19 research projects and 32 trophies. Nobody dies or gets sick: a dinosaur with no feed or a crowded pen just gets grumpy and earns less until you sort it out. The sky follows your PC's clock, and at night the dinosaurs sleep under the stars.

The Dig site panel in the Large slot. A cross-section of rock layers with a wooden ladder down a shaft, where two pixel diggers with picks work at the bottom and a +8 floats up. Bones and amber show in the rock. Beside it: depth 62 layers, this layer 1.06K of 1.11K, 23 a tap, the dig crew at 7.7 a second, buttons for Red Badlands, Fern Delta (chosen) and Chalk Cliffs for 250K, and the latest find, +8 Compsognathus. A Tap to dig label sits in the corner.
The dig site: tap the rock, or let the dig crew do it.
A late park in the Extra Large slot with the Lab panel open on the right. Three crowded pens of stegosaurs, hadrosaurs and big theropods fill the left, with visitors below. The Lab shows four incubators, each holding a Parasaurolophus egg marked No room in the pens, Send away: +45, and skeletons to revive: Parasaurolophus, Troodon, Protoceratops, Psittacosaurus, Iguanodon and Compsognathus, each with a count, a revive time and a coin price, paged with arrow buttons.
The lab in a busy park. An egg with nowhere to go says why, and can be sent to another park.

More is on the way: a bigger update is being built.

While you are away

The dig crew keeps digging, the lab keeps reviving and the visitors keep paying while the widget is closed or iCUE is off, for up to 8 hours (12 or 16 with research). When you come back, a While you were away card says how long you were gone, the coins earned, layers dug, fragments found, eggs ready and dinosaurs that grew up.

Your PC's data

Bone Yard uses none of iCUE's data plugins (Sensors, FPS or Media). It reads nothing about your PC but the clock, for day and night.

Sizes and settings

Every widget size on the XENEON EDGE is supported: Small, Medium, Large and Extra Large, across or upright. You pick the size in iCUE when you place the widget, and you can move or resize it later. Long lists turn in pages with big arrow buttons, so nothing scrolls and nothing is cut off.

In the widget's settings in iCUE you can set:

  • Show: the park with its menu (the default), or a single panel: the dig site, fossils, the lab, the shop, pens or research. Each widget is its own park, so a second widget is a second game, not another view of the first;
  • Animation: Smooth, Calm or Still, for how often the scene moves;
  • the accent and background colours, and the background transparency.

Spending always takes two taps: the first arms the button, the second spends. A brush against the glass buys nothing.

Your progress

Your park is kept in the widget itself, on this PC, and saved every few seconds. Moving or resizing the widget keeps it. Removing the widget, or adding a new copy, starts a new game: each Bone Yard widget is its own park.

To keep a spare, or to carry your park to a new widget or another PC, open the Save panel (the gear button) and tap Copy the save code. Paste the code into the new widget's Save panel, or into its Import a save code setting in iCUE, and load it with two taps.

What you need

  • A Corsair XENEON EDGE, on Windows.
  • iCUE 5.51 or newer.
  • Nothing else: no mod, no companion app, no Stream Deck and no account.

What it can and cannot do

  • It plays on its own. It reads only your PC's clock, for day and night.
  • Taps only change the game.
  • It makes no connection to the internet and sends nothing anywhere. It reads no files on your PC.
  • No in-game purchases, no ads and nothing to sign up for.
