Yes thats right! Make Jam. A new fundemental and core system added to Swindonshire.

Here's a video with some ideas on how to farm for berries to make jam.
We are expanding our range of objects throughout the world and of course thinking about their value. This is all important mechanics that will make Law and Order have more depth... I hope its all starting to make a bit more sense now.

This is a feature upgrade. Have you ever been familiar with scenes like this

You have just been on a kill Rampage and there is just so much stuff to collect, but if you walk too far away it will all be gone?

Not any more...
(Heres the boring Game dev bit)
Lots of physics objects = bad for runtime
especially when they are left just hanging around. So Gaz decided that cleaning them up after you went away would be a "normal" thing to do. but what if you need to go back to the hideout to get the vacuum or you got killed whill fighting a load of zombies?
Since the objects are becoming increasigly valuable when we found a way to make them persist in the session. They won't stay if you refresh Swindon (ie go to moon or sewer) but the objects should stick around and wait for you to collect them.

Unlock the saddle Launcher (with jam Jars) you should be able to shoot any living thing with it to add a saddle and ride it...

When you mount up, it might be easier tovisit places you could not get to before.

But be careful.

We've put some chainsaws in the sewer and a vacuum to make collecting things of the dead in teh sewer more productive.

Cos Zombies carry loot too.

We don't know what the fastest way to gather "stuff" is yet, what are you doing?

We won't tell you how to get it, but like the saddle launcher the gun will appear in the hideout when unlocked.

You can Infact just about anything with a pathogen dart gun

And try new things

There have been fixes and there are a few new outfits and unlockables and more Magic! I won't go into detail.
One notable fix is to make the treads on the tanks more deadly and the tank shot explosions too.

As we move towards Law and Order and "1.0" (which is very close now) we are also refining some of the core components. Jam jars, saddles and pathogen darts all work with various aspects of the evolving tech that drives frog life in Swindonshire.
This was also another major step for us since we have moved the project to Unity 6 - this allows us to future proof the game and unity 6 is very much becoming a requirment for us roll out the console version when we hit 1.0 with Law and order.

Also we should be "delivering" a new update very soon.

While you may know we have been working on some bigger updates, we wanted to give you a little slice (..wink..)

Its pretty powerfull You can chop most things :)

So many things to cut up... but remember, you are not the only frog packing a chainsaw.

Its washing day! some frogs will have put out their special items.

Don't steal new T shirts for your collection.

Find that perfect something to complete your outfit.

Other clothing items have also been left lying around, it may be hard to find the dustbin as a seperate costume.

You demanded it... You got it. What will you demand next? a yeti? with sun glasses? I dunno.
(We always intended for the big mushrooms to be bouncy, like big parasols, but we had not got around to it - So Thanks for the push! )

I won't spoil the magic toilet surprises, but check the Toilet Message Board for new things to add.

Well, Its been 2 months since the bin day update. We didnt want it to be so long, but there was a lot of "groundwork" to do. Now, we will start another run of updates which will add more magic, more places to spend you hard earned... um "things"... jobs, death, coffee, LAW, aliens, loads of costumes and much more and not nescessarily in that ORDER!

On BIN DAY throughout Swindonshire, the residents and businesses will throw out their trash. You can earn money as well as Swindon Citizen Points (SCP) throwing the trash into the 'Waste Away' Rubbish truck.

Due to the back log from the holiday season its going to be "BIN DAY" for the rest of January and then every Thursday is BIN DAY in Swindonshire ! So get out there on thursdays and earn big £££'s in your brand new job!

We have more jobs brewing in Swindon, you can maybe guess whats some will be...

Just be careful what you put in the magic Toilet.

Rubbish should be disposed of appropriatly, if not it could have disastrous effects and make me very grouchy.

There is a few new hidden shops/costumes too... ) But Remember after January Bin Bags will only be put out on Thursdays!

As always, we have been trying to improve the core systems. The main one we focused on this time was "throwing physical objects" (we needed it to work better in particular for bin bags), but throwing frogs also will see improvents in coming updates. There are many systems we know need some love and attention, eg falling over with grapple hook - there are work arounds, but it simply needs some of my time.
I should explain, many issues arise without us knowing. Its important to us that we always keep Amazing Frog? updated with the latest version of Unity. We don't want the system driving the game to become obselete like many did in legacy. Unfortunately with so many systems in Amazing Frog? things change beyond our control frequently and its hard to always keep track. We are so grateful when the community (on what ever platform) reaches out to let us know about issues. I do try to respond to all, but often I think my best response is to keep my head in development and fix and improve as many features as possible.
Also, your screenshots over the holidays make us extremely happy I will have to do a post with a collection of awesome screen shots

Thanks!

If you see one of these boxes be sure to read the label.
Check it twice!
You can't stop the grinch at xmas, so don't even try. You need to stay away from Danger Presents or risk Swindon getting frogged up a notch by some anti-Xmassers, They are heavily armed, but short on Xmas Spirit.

So not open and presents that are labels with "Danger"


May contain nuts... nuts with guns
Infact Swindon was just updated on Steam and if you open a Danger box they just keep coming forever.
Do not open Danger presents if you want a chill Holiday Season
Merry Xmas you filthy animals! (oh...and a Happy new year )

Its time for another Amazing Frog? Winter Holiday Update!
More toilet activity has been added! and it feels like we are really gaining some momentum with these updates.
We have been working on some more violent vehicles, so we have put one into this update (if you can work out how to unlock)

Given the ability to kill on impact, where would you drive the Hell truck?

Also, since it's the Holiday Update so we've run a pass on the Holiday Cheer activity, fixed some of the issues.
You can now spread the Holiday cheer to creatures other than just frogs!

Wait... does that mean I can't exploit the bug where I use the Holiday gun to add saddles to sharks and alligators?
The "bug" may be fixed, but you can still find a way to ride some creatures if they can fit in the toilet.
(But also, get Collecting those berries... as soon we will be jamming in new content which will provide an new agricultural way tosaddle up!

Not exactly, yes the clowns from the 10 year party have gone but don't worry they will not be gone long. We are going to need the clowns in the Law and Order update.

Snow people are super easy to kill and the xmas challenges are back

Thanks so much for helping us make Amazing Frog? what it is on our 10th Holiday update on Steam.

Get mucky with the NPC frogs. Give any frog a Poop Head makeover.

Feeling a little nude? unlock the Not so Naked Frog!

...and More hidden outfits and accessories

Our first wave of shops, (lots more coming)

A plethora of unique vehicles can be be discovered from the toilet! Some of them can be seen below!

Trying different objects in the toilet result in very strange things coming out!

Even we don't fully know what to expect!

Nothing to see here!

The Balloon gun is back and is as powerful as ever!

Hold the shoot button after firing a balloon to greatly increase the size of the balloons attached to your target.

Up, up and away! Heavier objects or vehicles will have much larger balloons for easier use!

Watch frogs shoot into the air!

There they go!


Take flight in the Lunar Lander, thanks to a little help from the toilet!

Here's a giant shark blimp to drive around in! Inhale objects into its mouth as you fly!

See how it dwarfs the MEGALODON! Not so tough now!

A strangely vintage bicycle has been added as a vehicle. You need to flush a similar vehicle down the toilet to find it!

It has a really old time feel when you ride it!

Now the poop guns can only be found by flushing it's counterpart down the toilet!

The handheld camera now has less perspective in its lens when you use it to look around.

See the flies on the world map more easily.

We ditched the wide-angle lens in the camcorder for now, in favour of a 35mm approach.

Try it yourself!

We've fixed the balloons so the physics are more reliable! They are improved all round with the balloon gun and balloon jetpack.



That's just about it, thanks for reading and let us know what you think about these new features!

The crown can be picked up again to activate Crown mode!


Hands off my crown, peasants!


Thanks again to every one who helped by pointing out these issues on the blog post, Discord and our social channels.
For now we are working hard on the next update, this won't be too long.

Happy Grappling!
