Froguelike News

[h2]Froggy Wednesday, my dudes![/h2]
We were made aware that we had made the achievement names and descriptions here on Steam a bit confusing, so this week we have updated that to better follow the guidelines for how they should be written and at the same time we looked over the quests in the game a bit.

Other than that we are currently working on updating the environment in the game. It is a bigger task that requires work in a bunch of areas, such as art direction, drawing mockups, game design and programming, to figure it all out. Even though it isn't ready to be put in the game yet we really hope we can share some of it with you all soon! Hopefully we can share some concepts of it in next week's update.

Changes:

• Changed how quests are sorted in the quest book
  
• Now we show first how to complete a quest and then its reward, instead of the other way around
  
• How to complete a quest is now called "How:" instead of "Hint:"
  
• Changed titles and descriptions of achievements on Steam to be more in line with how achievements usually work
  
• Update some titles of quests in the game
  
• Changed title of chapter "Stanley the cat" to "Becoming a frog 101" to avoid confusion
  

Bug fixes:

• Poison tongue last level up had +2 damage instead of +2 poison damage
  
• Slightly improved UI in the quest book to prevent long text from being cut
  

And as always, it is a good idea to back up your save file before starting the game after an update. If you want instructions for where to find the save file you can read the details below.
[expand] On Windows you can find the save file here: %AppData%/../LocalLow/Les Grenouilles/Froguelike

And on Mac here: ~/Library/Application Support/Les Grenouilles/Froguelike

The file you want to save a copy of is called "FroguelikeSaveFile.bin"

May the quests guide you towards your goal of eating all the bugs!

[h2]It's Wednesday, all frog enjoyers![/h2]

We have been working on some updates for the pause screen. The pause screen now features the info of the current chapter, it is the same info as you see when choosing a chapter and it can be accessed through a button on the top right of the pause screen.

To make the navigation with keyboard and controller work better with that new button we also changed the layout of the buttons on the main pause screen slightly.
How the level of an item is displayed on the pause screen also got an update, if an item reaches their max level that is now indicated with some confetti over the item's sprite and if an item goes beyond its max level the level is shown as a number.

We also added two new settings, you can now choose if you want to see the disclaimer screen when starting the game from the settings screen as well as a setting for turning the damage numbers on or off.

We also did some other small changes and some bug fixes, read the full list below!

Changes:

• The chapter info for the current chapter can now be read on the pause screen
  
• Slightly changed the layout for the buttons on the pause screen
  
• Instead of just showing the name of the current chapter, we now show a list with the names of all played chapters, so far in this run, on the pause screen
  
• Improved showing item level on the pause screen
  
• Added a setting to toggle if the disclaimer is shown when starting the game or not
  
• Added a setting to toggle if damage numbers should be shown when playing the game
  
• Added an outline to the super frog power-up
  
• Drew a new completion star for the chapter selection screen
  

Bug fixes:

• Fixed ponds z-fighting
  
• The displayed chapter on the chapter selection screen is now indicated with the button being yellow instead of blue
  
• Fixed a bug that made the 5th chapter button selected by default, instead of the 1st button, when the chapter selection screen appeared
  
• Drew small checkboxes for the quest screen to replace the bigger, scaled down, ones that we were using before

[h2]Here comes a challenge![/h2]
This week's update adds two new quests and their rewards, difficulty settings. When both quests are finished the character selection screen will look like this:

The chosen difficulty will apply to all the chapters in the run and they affect the bugs' health, speed and strength and how much froins you will find.

New:

• A new feature - difficulties
  
• Two new quests in the game and their corresponding achievements on Steam
  

Let us know how it goes! Is it too difficult? Or maybe we have underestimated you all and it is waaaaaay too easy?
You can reach us through the Steam forums or join our Discord and talk to us there, on Discord there is also the occasional glimpses of what we are currently working on, and you can find out how to join the experimental frogram where we sometimes put out updates early for testing. We would be hoppy to have you there!

[h2]Support us by leaving a review![/h2]
We have recently sent in all the info needed to be part of a list of "Survivors-like" games on this website (that is also a great place to find more similar games!). To have an accurate score in the list it helps to have players review the game through this form, it is quite a long form to fill in but we would be very grateful if you have the time to do it since being displayed on the list could help us reach more players.
Another way to help us would be to review the game here on Steam, we are getting close to 100 reviews which would be an exciting milestone to reach!
