The Frogs Kickstarter is now Live and I'm super excited to be able to get the community involved with some ingame rewards! There's even a couple of stretch goals! If you're interested in helping out, or just want to get the game a bit cheaper than retail, please visit the Kickstarter Page and consider funding The Frogs!

Be there at 11am EST (3pm UTC / 4pm BST) to join Cressup and I as she does a live stream of the demo for my point-and-click adventure, The Frogs. Be sure to join into chat so I have something to do while she plays! I'll be answering questions and interrupting with development insights and such. We hope to see you there! You can also follow Cressup on Twitch at the same name for other, less important, games streams.

Hello! I've just pushed through an update with extensive testing which means there will be plenty of bugs and typos for you all to find, I'm sure. Here's what's new!
- Menus got a bit of an overhaul. They look better and, hopefully, work better.
- Added an Options menu with a music volume slider and subtitle size option.
- Inventory window now closes when you select an item.
- You can left and right click on items in your inventory to examine them.
- Dialogue in various spots has been cleaned up a bit.
- Fixed some weirdness in how a few interactions worked.
- Various typos and mistargeted dialogue have been cleaned up.
I hope you enjoy, and please don't hesitate to reach out if you have issues! I can be slow to respond sometimes, but I really do appreciate it!

Come join us at 3pm EST (7pm UTC) on June 19th as Orang3Robot from IndieGamingSocial does the heavy lifting while I answer questions. He'll be live streaming the demo of The Frogs while I jump in with little insights about all the way too niche jokes he's probably going to miss. It should be a good time. Hope to see you there!

Dionysus, the god of wine, is feeling somber. He's turned some pirates into dolphins. He's thrown a king or two into a cave. And now some other king in Thebes is talking smack. But none of that has cheered him up. It's the playwrights the kids listen to these days.
Mumble poets and people using automatons to speak their lines... he's sick of it. Back in his day the likes of Euripides could tear apart a stage and leave the crowd screaming for more. He's decided it's up to him to set things right.
The Frogs is a point-and-click adventure game based on the ancient Greek comedy by Aristophanes. It's a hodgepodge of ancient wit, Pythonesque animation, Renaissance artwork, and public domain classical music all wrapped up in a ball of irreverent humor from a mind way too influenced by the likes of Terry Practhett and Jasper Fforde.
Still out to sea aboard the Cleisthenes and having just read Andromeda, Dionysus is pumped and ready to get back to his theater in Athens so he can get to work improving the world of the arts for the good of everyone. But we all know it can't be that easy... he has to go through a lot of content to make it worth the asking price.
