Indieland 2023 Free Demo Build is now Up!
Howdy Gamers, First, I'd like the thank everyone who tuned-in to our Indieland 2023 livestream segment! Barry was nice enough to discover a few neat bugs in that raw raw build, and now that the major ones from that are fixed (along with a buncha other bugs we discovered locally),

Hello,
Just updated the build w/ a big quick fix. We recently reworked how we query and categorize collisions on our character controller. However in a prior update - we actually broke the game if you skate up a quarter pipe and land on flat ground.
Patch Notes:

fixed an issue where the character would fall through the world if they landed on flat ground from vert air
an extremely beta version of an emote wheel has been added. This has only been tested on mouse + keyboard. While offboard, you can try to access it by pressing Q and clicking the appropriate emote bubble.
ollieing off of a grind while in the middle of a leave-rail animation crossfade should now animate responsively and no longer exhibit an awkward delay after setting the vertical post-grind ollie coyote-time velocity.
manual balancing control inputs during arcade mode overtime should no longer be relinquished during overtime.
If these hot fixes ended up breaking other things, pls inform me on Twitter or email. We'll try to get to those fixes while still cooking up other stuff for the game.

Hello Gamers,
First, I'd like to thank everyone who stopped by our booth at PAX West 2023! This year! We had 1226 frogs drawn on sticky notes and lots of good vibes and feedback from folks playing the latest demo!
As promised, I've updated the demo to reflect the latest state of the build seen at PAX West 2023, along with a few more fixes to bugs we caught on the show floor.
Patch Notes:

camera has been pulled back a little bit, and now zooms in on the player during vert air descent
we added a lil photo mode! Right now there's only one post-processing filter, but we're now capable of adding more in the future! Click the Right Stick on gamepad or press C on keyboard while offboard to toggle camera-mode. 1/3 on desktop can be used to toggle a monochrome filter
expanded the park section of Twilight University a little bit
redid a bunch of our quest-management logic and used it to add some NPCs to Twilight University
added a couple more songs
fixed some freezes and crashes that occurred on some pieces of terrain
there is now a checkbox in the button-mapping menu to invert the offboard camera y-axis!
fixed some issues where the grab trick rotation count was wrong when leveling-out/entering spine-transfers
did an art pass on the speedlines so they're a little easier on the eyes
press Left Trigger on gamepad or R on keyboard while offboard to croak!

Hot Frog Summer - New Timed Run Mode to try in the Demo!

Howdy ya'll,
Summer is now upon us, and you know what that means! It is finally too hot outside to go connect with nature, so why not spend sometime indoors with a updated demo build of Olliefrog Toad Skater.
Timed Run!
There's now a 4th polaroid on the level-select screen. "Where does this go?" you might ask.
After a little bit of sweaty refactoring, the dev team is now in a much better position to inject arbitrary game modes! The new Timed Run mode should be familiar to THPS veterans. You've got 2 minutes to complete as many objectives as you can in the park.
Because this is demo, completion of these goals currently won't yield rewards, but in the final game we will have a different, more persistent means of conveying player progression.
Misc Fixes
This update also contains a number of fixes, many of which were on the backburner for a while and are we're now finally able to adequately address:

Fixed an issued where a skater's yaw rotation could reset when entering a grab trick from certain contexts, which as spine transfers,
The vert air camera rotation was bugged in cases where the offset vector and the rotation frame were out of sync on entry. The rotation and offset now follow the same source of truth, which should once-and-for-all prevent weird vert-air camera logic from ever resurfacing again :COPIUM:
The camera position used to noticeably snap when entering a spine transfer when entering vert air from an angled state. This should no longer happen.
Character orientation when skating from flat surface to flat surface is a bit more well-behaved.
Ambient underwater fog has now been added for better ambience in Riverbank Hotel.
The character dialogue box now has a cute little scrolling pattern :3
The player now starts in an offboard state in the tutorial level.
That's all for now. Should you choose to try out this demo later, or simply wanna wait for the full game, please remember to apply sunscreen and sun-protective headwear before heading out into the hot steamy wilderness.
Have a lovely June, I'll catch ya later.

Steam Sports Fest - Stability Update Patch Notes

Happy Steam Sports Fest Everybody!
It's Mr. Thee with another lil demo build stability update. We were originally gonna try to have a new game mode ready by today, but due to a number of factors including making sure that our release roadmap and sleep schedule don't get completely hammered by showcase demos and other miscellaneous context-switching, we opted to just prioritize getting a stabilized build out by the time of the event. A healthier build today means a sicker game tomorrow, if that makes sense, because it's a skateboarding game, and sick is good(???).
But enough conflicting metaphors. Here are some patch notes:

Sometimes the vert air camera would freak out on certain quarterpipes, especally the really tall ones. We fixed a bunch of our parametric math so now this should be less of an issue.
We added little boats to the River Bank Stage. They don't have physical collision, BUT you can do lip tricks off of them if you aim ur trajectory just right!
Camera orbit distance and vertical offset distances to the player has been increased slightly. This is a very fancy way of saying we moved the camera back juuuuust a little bit.
bails coming down from quarter pipes had incorrect velocity while the character rolled. This was actually caused by some quirks in how our character controller API disambiguates certain surfaces, so that has been refactored and fixed to a much saner and usable state.
shading on some quarter pipes has been smooth out a little
steering and has been polished on steep slopes.
The song "Sombra" by Tony Astro wasn't actually linking to the new song he had made, so that has been fixed and is now actually properly included in the build this time!
And that's about everything for now! Not a ton of new stuff, but I will mention that about half of our recent commits have been prepping this game for greater variety in play modes going forward. And some of those modes will eventually see the light of day in the free demo.
So until then, have a jolly Steam Sports Fest!

Spring Cleaning
Howdy Ya'll, I did a bunch of little adjustments and fixes to the demo, and now i'm ready to list them. Keep in mind that all bugs forwarded to me have yet to be address because in game development, it is actually more efficient to put off certain fixes later than others. In the

PAX East 2023 Build is Live!

Howdy ya'll,
First I'd like to thank everybody that stopped by our both at PAX East last weekend. We had a blast and we hope you all had a good time as well. As promised, I'd like to announce that we're updating the Steam demo build to reflect the content seen at PAX East 2023!
Here are some of the new content + features present in the demo:
Stage 3 WIP: Twilight University
This level was done with a new iteration process within the team, so there we will likely be some holes and weirdnesses here and there in the geometry, but its still pretty fun to skate around in, so please enjoy.
NPCs! (ft. WIP tutorial)
You may notice that Mellow Park looks a little different this time around:
If you talk to this guy, he'll give you a run-down of skating 101. To talk to him, first get off your board by pressing both bumpers(xbox) / R1+L1(playstation) / E (keyboard), then walk up close to him, and press A(xbox)/ X(playstation)/ Left Mouse(keyboard/desktop). Which brings us too...
On-foot Mechanics WIP
Press both bumpers (or E on keyboard) to get off you're board! Hold A/Spacebar to run, and tap A/Spacebar to hop. Pressing E or both bumpers to get back onto ur board. We haven't implementing combo-run-out mechanics nor cavemans into the combo system yet, but that is on our roadmap, so in the meantime feel free to run and hop around like only a lil' guy would.
Gameplay QoL Updates
By the powers of popular demand & convenient scheduling, we were able to add a few movement improvements and misc bug fixes. Some interesting highlights include the following:

Quick turns! This can be executed by pressing Down Down RightTrigger on gamead. (or S S LeftShift on keyboard)
More responsive tricks in some situations! Previously the trick input buffer would be flushed the second the player does an ollie. This would mean that if they were holding crouch/ollie, then started inputting a flip trick before releasing the ollie button, their input would be lost and their flip/grab trick wouldn't come out. This has now been fixed and you can now buffer those tricks while ur leaving the ground, so flips and grabs out of ollie should be much more responsive.
Spine Transfer math improvements. We updated our algorithm a ton since the last update, and now our spine transfer/acid drop logic can now more intelligently and more consistently pick up interesting drop-offs and quarter pipes, such as this one on Riverbank hotel:
That's all for now! I suspect our next update might be coming up pretty soon. It'll be a much smaller and more cosmetic-driven more (e.g. more hats, maybe even some new accessory types).
Catch you later.

Q1 2023 Demo Update!
Hello Everyone, It's been a hot minute since I've updated the public demo for this game. For most games, doing an update for a demo midway through a game's development is a bit unusual, but for an execution-centric game as this one is, it's a bit easier to justify. So I'll give y
Hello Everyone,
It's been a hot minute since I've updated the public demo for this game. For most games, doing an update for a demo midway through a game's development is a bit unusual, but for an execution-centric game as this one is, it's a bit easier to justify.
So I'll give you a brief-ish rundown of what this updated demo has to offer:
Demo Park 2 - Riverbank Hotel (Work in Progress)
This map is very nascent and rough around the edges, but offers a small peek into our approach for more organic and urban environments.
More Flatland Tricks!
Tweakable flatland tricks have been added! After you enter a manual or a nose manual, press any combination of the top 3 face buttons twice (e.g. XX, BY, XY, YY, etc) to tweak to a new flatland trick and extend your combos!
More Grinds Added!
There are 8 of these mapped to Y + the 8 directions on the stick, along with the 50-50 which is done by not holding a direction. Another thing added to this build is the ability to tweak grinds from one to another. This is done in the same manner as tweaking flatland tricks - just double-tap any combo of the top 3 face buttons.
New Tunes!
The previous the build only had about 3 songs, but now the demo consists of about a dozen tracks playing on shuffle! Full credits of these songs can be seen in the title screen, and will pop-up in the bottom right corner as the come on.
Misc Features
A number of other small features and changes have been made as well since our last update:

A few environmental landmark tricks aka gaps have been added to the levels. These are not final and mostly exist as a proof-of-concept.
Collectible Letters.
Over a dozen new songs added!
Character and environment lighting model has been updated.
Vert air camerawork and physics have been tweaked.
Spine transfers and been reworked to be more stable.
Another pass has been done on the balancing meter, and will it likely not be the last time I tweak that mechanic.

Boneless Nomcompliant Nutcracking Coyote Body Update

Hello,
Ya boy Mr. Thee added a few things. Technically some of these were added in the previous build update, but it took me forever to realized that the announcement feature on this website wasn't under the demo app landing page, but actually under the main app landing page section.
So - this one is a bit of 2-for-one update. Let's start off with the new new stuff:
New Body Customization Option - Body Patterns
While we like our frogs with big round bellies, we asked ourselves "what if we could make the frog look like a flag?" After about a day of hacking stuff together - we discovered that this was surprisingly doable!
Under the far left customization tab, aka the "body" menu, we added a new option - "Patterns". The first pattern listed in this menu is the one you all know and love (circular belly), but now player have 8 options for different patterns they can affix themselves to. Some options even grant access to a 3rd body color!
Making these patterns is pretty easy, so expect more in the future.
New Accessories!
We got a LOT of requests for bucket hats, so we added a bunch of them. You'll find them on pages 9 + 10 in the hat isle. We also felt like adding a new deck - the nutcracker (located just past the thinking frog emoji board on the final deck page).
Now let's go over some of the stuff you may have missed last week.
Gameplay Tweaks

added "boneless" and "nocomply" to the tricklist. These are mapped to Up + Up + Ollie and Up + Ollie respectively.
implemented coyote time. this means that players now have 300ms after enter leveled air-state to input an ollie.
Also during that update, we added a number of hats cuz why not.
If anything's broken, let me know. We've got about 12 days left on the Kickstarter campaign, so I'll get back to working on that.
Ta-ta for now,
- Mr. Thee
