Amazing Frog? News

Its time for the Holiday Update and this time its a real Swindon Snow Storm! Fart propelled sledging is always lovely this time of year



Obviously the Holiday period isn’t for every one, but we tried to make accommodations for them.





driving can be hazardous in these conditions, please be careful not to hit snowy pedestrians.



Grow big Snow Balls!



This is phase 1 of the xmas update, the next bit should be swinging around real soon.



Seasons Greetings !

Ok, so maybe it was a bit harsh banning jetpacks and balloon packs from the blood covered streets of Swindon…



I mean you can actually have a lot of fun with a jetpack when the streets are filled with blood and you guys worked so hard to get the backpacks you may as well get some fun out of it. We were just a bit too worried that having them would make it too easy to unlock Satun.



SO here is a Hot fixes Update to the Mystery Halloween Box. Among other things, we added a few more pumpkins to make a nice round number of 300. And added a few more things to the blood world.



We've been enjoying it so it's likely we will add more to it in the future. Please check the in-game changelog. For now Happy Halloween!

Here’s a bloody Update. Perhaps I should have called it that, “Another Bloody Update”

And there I go mentioning the blood and ruining the mystery, I feel like such a muppet



Currently my favorite outfit… well perhaps with exception of the fireproof one you can unlock in the mystery box.



To be Honest, I don’t really know what to say about this update, it's pretty late here and I've spent too much time playing around in it that I haven’t found the time to write much, so this time I think I will just let the update speak for itself.



we’ll be back pretty soon with more updates and then I’ll write something more Game Devilish stuff.

You know what ? it feels really good to be putting updates out again. I mean over the past few months we’ve been dealing with some pretty complex stuff with V3 and V2 and iOS… getting our ducks in a row, as it were. But, today looking through recent screenshots for the new stuff makes me super happy. Also just messing around with content again is so much more fun that underlying systems and junk. I mean you can’t Instagram a feckin’ serialization process or a new design pattern that I created by accident while dreaming. I love my work, truly I do.



There is an element if chaos to how we go about developing things, but we are heading somewhere so don't worry. That somewhere is V3.

So, what was I saying? ... I’m really sorry about the mouse not locking and hiding thing, please let me know if you are still having problems after this update. This is the second of our October updates for V2. “The Other Blimps". Was going to call it A Blimp with more bite not sure why :) .







So be sure to check the in-game changelog… (I think I updated that …) there's some more stuff to find do and play with.

I’ll keep this post short, I did want to say thanks to everyone for pointing any issues in the last build. There are some which I Have not got around to resolving like the horizontal split screen I will get that one in the next update. So any outstanding issues please fire them at us.

Finally! we are in a position to start rolling out some updates, sorry it's been blimpin’ ages.

The first of a series of V2 updates is now available and this first one is called the "Leftfield Edition”

Let's be clear- this is a V2 update, We have reprogrammed the camera systems and UI, using techniques and code that we have been developing in V3 and implemented more stable graphics with less flickering etc and generally made it more stable, better looking and improved the underlying architecture to enable us to try out a month of rapid content expansion updates.  :)







So what's a “Leftfield Edition”? What an attractive looking question, Gaz. Thanks for asking… Basically, its called that because its pretty much the version we showed at EGX on the Sega sponsored Leftfield indie game booth thing. In terms of content, there is not a great deal of new stuff, this was mainly about presenting the fixed version of V2. In fact, you may find that some things are missing or even completely replaced. Don’t worry about this as we will be updating V2 multiple times in October and we have some interesting surprises lined up. Having said that Pocket mode is pretty new, accessible from the main menu and might worth another look...





For some time had been PONDering the possibility of Amazing Frog? V2 leaving Early Access, it's a weird situation, because we are also building V3 and you guys haven’t got your hands on that yet. We are not sure we even know what Early Access means anymore. We are going to be adding updates to both versions of Amazing Frog? for some time. You could say Amazing Frog? will always be in development, with that in mind we are not sure if “Early Access” applies to us anymore. What do you guys think?  We don’t anticipate that V3 will replace V2. We expect them to exist side by side for a while. For us, we are starting to think of it more like a sequel even though it won’t be presented as such. Ultimately it's just me and Hal, we don’t have anyone advising us, no publisher skimming the cream or twisting our arm to break our integrity, we just try and do what we think is right for Amazing Frog? and it's players.



On a side note - Online multiplayer for V3 has been going really well and we are indeed closer to dropping the V3 Online Beta, Hal and I have been doing to distance network testing and the results are pretty encouraging. but I am sorry to say that we are just not ready to share it yet.

Sorry if it looks like we have been away for a while…. we haven’t. I’ve still not started Mario Oddessy, Hal is still yet to face Ganon. Also, someone mentioned there was a cowboy game coming out soon, but it was only available on consoles so I won’t be playing that any time soon so get ready for some updates! We’re really excited to be able to have output again :)
