Major Bloody Update ( ...Including Blood World )
[h3 ]Recent Patch Notes 31st Oct
Fixed the settings page and resolution issue, tweaked camera in various location and other fixes.[/h3]
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Just in time for Halloween, Blood world has returned to Amazing Frog? 'Remastered'. So you can get your smashin' pumpkins on.
[h2]Fire !!![/h2]
Watch out for those flamethrowers! Playing with fire can be very explosive.
We are glad to be getting more of the core legacy features available in 'Remastered'.
[h2]New Collection System[/h2]
Swindon Citizen Points ( S.C.P. ) and other collectables are now functioning in a newly remastered system. ( Basically saving and collecting things )
This brings back the cats, trophies, post (mail) boxes, Vending Machines that dispense Ammo ( goodbye infinite ammo ) and whole load of collectable rubbish.
The systems behind saving data like S.C.P. needed rebuilding for Remastered (...and my sanity ) As part of this process we reintroduced many achievements along with some new ones. We quite like the t-shirts in remastered and there are quite a few of these added, with more to come. The key to the city has also been remastered. Frog Milk Coffee Co. is still in development. All in all pretty happy with how the new system works and it should be straight forward adding more 'saveables' as we continue the remastering process of V2.
Note: as far as S.C.P. goes... sorry I could not bring the S.C.P. from your legacy save file like did for the costumes and accessories, but at least now we can add more S.C.P. goals.
[h2]SPAWN POINT APP[/h2]
Check out the Spawn Point App, It allows you to fast travel to lots of locations including separate worlds that you have visited. Either enter a Spawn point Toilet to unlock a Spawn Point entry or visit a new world
For example after you visit blood world you can then access blood world from the spawn point app. Its also handy in the sewer for completing the microscope tasks ;)
[h2]Revisited the the Sewer and Lab[/h2]
We made another pass on the Sewer and The Lab. If you did complete the microscopes on the last update, well done... we certainly couldn't!
it should be fixed and tweaked now so you can grab the launch codes.
Also we put a ladder in the sewer to help with key card retrieval. So getting those launch codes and then fuelling the Space rocket should now be achievable.. You should also be able to visit the Moon. But its in development! and while you can't go outside yet, you can still have fun with the new lasers !
[h2]PEW PEW PEW[/h2]
[h2]Party Mode[/h2]
I never formally introduced Party Mode, this is because in the last update in June I didn't find the time to write words to go with the update.
Party Mode is currently running as a split screen death match. We had been wanting to add this mode for some time to V2. It will evolve as we develop the rest of remastered. For now I will just remark that it is there, and that when we add some larger features and play modes I will make more of a big deal about it :)
[h2]Fix it! Fix it! Fix it![/h2]
Should be a lot of fixes..
Honestly we have lost track, we don't tend to list each fix we make we just move on to the next one and keep going often finding ourselves back at the problem we fixed a month ago.
progress.
Also, Remastered has a lot of new features that legacy didn't. Like choosing your frog. While playing in single or 4 player at any point you can choose your frog and start playing as one of the other avatars. There are also many types of objects that just don't exist in legacy like BMXs, mopeds, biplanes (with guns) or temporary balloon cannisters and flaming hot grills on the bbq.
NOTE: (if you don't know the difference between 'Legacy' and 'Remastered' - in short Legacy was build over several years with older architecture and to continue developing Legacy we have to rebuild from the ground up. This rebuilt version is called 'Remastered' and is being actively developed to supersede Legacy.)
There are many improvements/fixes, some of these revolve around the NPCS , population density should work now and the frogs will no longer get caught in the gym. Modifications to cameras (eg on vehicles) while we still want to expand on the melee system we have also fixed some of the issues to do with using them. I know there are many more fixes, I just don't know what they all are, some of them you may not have even known were issues.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Worth noting that since we have been building remastered for other platforms too
[h3](Android Releases Nov 1st 2022)[/h3]
There have been general optimizations throughout all systems. wink.
Also we have been testing on Steam Deck and we found it runs well in proton if you force compatibility. Steam have listed us as 'Playable' so that's progress, but we will endeavour to make it 'Verified' soon. (Because Steam Decks Rock)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[h2]...In Other news and following up[/h2]
I realised while writing this post that I didn't post any words in June when we last updated Remastered. I am very sorry about this. In June we added the sewers, introduced the spawn app gave first access to party mode [beta]
At the time made this newer trailer, the current official trailer for 'Remastered' which summarizes the previous update pretty well.

However, now I realise I will need to make a new trailer as this update has so many new features and fixes, but I will wait till the next major update.
[h2]Version Information [/h2]
[h3]So Where is Amazing Frog? V3 ...?[/h3]
https://store.steampowered.com/app/1559680
So, you will have noticed that Amazing Frog? V3 has Moved to a new App. Please give us some time to get this settled. For now all purchases of Amazing Frog? also reward Amazing Frog? V3 and visa versa.
This is because we didn't want to force anyone who had been playing over the years into buying Amazing Frog? again.
Initially V3 was created to replace V2... in the natural order of updates. The two versions are now too different. Uploading them separately makes life soooo much easier. Thank you Steam!
Regrettably, it does leave the situation quite complicated, but we are working on resolving this and making it clearer.
I really need to post a blog on the new app's page. We are actively working on V3 and really excited about where its leading and our plans. We know it needs optimization, but please stick with us we will get there.
So stand by for news about V3 very soon...
(And V2 Remastered ) Boom...
