Hello!
Small lil patch for the game, including some QoL changes, bug fixes, but most importantly, the addition of Assisted Minigames are finally here!
Fixes
Updated credits
Fixed accessory visuals not appearing properly on some frog's dialogue sprites
Fixed special object poof sfx playing twice
Fixed visual bug in settings when spam clicking back button
QoL Changes
Added ability to hold to add/delete items when feeding stone guardian frogs
Added ability to use "A" and "D" keys to navigate through compendium and cookbook
Greatly improved hitbox area accuracy for washing dirty frogs
Fixed misleading dialogue mentioning reputation level when interacting with Terra and Marina while failing to meet certain criteria
Playstation Controller Compatibility
Frog Island should be playable with both PS4 and PS5 controllers via bluetooth without issue!
[NEW] Assisted Minigames
Assisted Minigames are an accessibility option that make the many minigames in Frog Island much more accessible by simplifying timing and QTE requirements. These should be used by players who suffer from joint/mobility issues in their hands and fingers and have trouble completing certain minigames, or for players who simply want to spend more time on frog collecting and decorating.
Fishing: Quick Time Events and bobber drifting are completely removed, only requiring player to hold to reel in the fish.
Bug Catching: All Bug timing windows are extremely large and easier to catch
Hydrating Frogs: Clicking anywhere on the screen will now hydrate the frog, instead of needing to click inside the circles
Cooking: Discovering any new recipe instantly unlocks Auto-Cooking for that recipe, despite not hitting "Perfect" in the timing event.
I hope these new options will make the game more accessible to more players!
If you encounter any bugs, or have improvements to the game you would like to be added, please tell me about it in the Official Frog Island Discord. It's where I'm the most active, and I can directly get into contact with you, answer questions, and keep you updated!
Hope you enjoy these new changes, and I hope to continue making Frog Island a better experience for everyone!

DEMO Patch Notes v0.2.2
Hello! Hope you have all been enjoying the demo during Next Fest this week! This will most likely be the last batch of updates before Next Fest wraps up, which should include a few minor bug fixes and small QoL features for both mouse and controller players. Enjoy! QoL Improvemen
Hello! Hope you have all been enjoying the demo during Next Fest this week! This will most likely be the last batch of updates before Next Fest wraps up, which should include a few minor bug fixes and small QoL features for both mouse and controller players. Enjoy!
QoL Improvements:
Added input hints to the object place menu to better explain controller inputs: Left stick controls object selection in the world with cursor, and d-pad controls object selection in the inventory.
Added more feedback to the Bug Jar. When attempting to close the bug jar lid with insufficient bugs (less than 5), the bug capacity text will shake slightly and flash red, indicating not enough bugs have been added.
Exiting frog menu and bug catching minigame will now remember your previous zoom prior to entering the menu, rather than just zooming out to the farthest zoom.
Bug Fixes:
Fixed bug where Borderless Window display mode was not fitting to the entire screen
Fixed major bug where camera would completely break when attempting to move around using WASD at very low fps
Fixed bug where opening and closing settings would softlock the player at very low fps
If you have any suggestions or feedback on how to improve controller support, or general bugs/feedback to report, please let me know in the Bug Report Form here!
Also, if you've been enjoying the demo so far, please consider leaving a review on the demo store page! It really helps improve visibility in Steam's algorithm and lets them know if people love/hate the game :p A moment of your time would go a long way!
Thanks again, and continue having fun with the demo!!

Thank you to everyone who has tried out the demo during the first few days of Next Fest, it's been so fun watching everyone play the game and discovering all the lil things to do on the island :p
Just putting out a quick QoL patch based on feedback provided by the community that will improve a few aspects of the game, notably fishing and accessibiltiy:
Completing fishing minigames now gives your progress bar a small boost!
Fishing minigames are now much less punishing if failed
Added a guiding arrow during cooking to guide players on where to drop ingredients into the pot
Removed wavy text all throughout the game, it was just too much on the eyes and didn't really add much to the overall experience other than cause motion sickness
Improved feedback in merchant shop: Buy buttons will now be shaded and disabled if you do not have enough coins/gems to purchase an item
Ocean wave shaders have been reduced/slowed down to minimize motion sickness from fishing. If you are still experiencing motion sickness due to the water, please turn on "Reduce Motion" to disable ocean shaders!
That's all for now, stay tuned for more patches coming this week!
If you have any suggestions or feedback on how to improve controller support, or general bugs/feedback to report, please let me know in the Bug Report Form here!
Also, if you've been enjoying the demo so far, please consider leaving a review on the demo store page! It really helps improve visibility in Steam's algorithm and lets them know if people love/hate the game :p A moment of your time would go a long way!

Hello! Pushing out a few more QoL improvements and small additions to the demo, mostly related to controller support, based on the recent feedback of many players, hope you all have been enjoying the demo so far!
New Features:
Recycling has been reworked slightly, items now have a 75% success rate to yield a drop, multi-feed has been added, and you can now feed up to 10 items at a time. This will most likely be balanced in the coming weeks as more feedback is given for this new addition :p
Players can now use the left joystick on controller to navigate through menus/UI! Previously, only the d-pad could navigate through menus
QoL Improvements:
In intro cutscene, can press "back" on controller to delete a character for your name
Added "delete/remove" controller button icon in certain menus when selling items, adding fish to aquariums, or recycling
Zooming in/out on controller has been improved, and you can now hold down the L/R triggers to zoom in and out instead of single presses
When using controller, players can now press d-pad to instantly move their focus to the farm tiles
Bug Fixes:
Fixed controller bug where cursor was not showing during dialogue option select
Fixed many controller bugs where cursor would appear accidentally in menus when it was not supposed to
Fixed small visual bug where discovery picture stamp particles would not appear
Fixed bug where frog camera target would not smoothly snap when moving across frogs
Many other bug fixes
If you have any suggestions or feedback on how to improve controller support, or general bugs/feedback to report, please let me know in the Bug Report Form here!
Also, if you've been enjoying the demo so far, please consider leaving a review on the demo store page! It really helps improve visibility in Steam's algorithm and lets them know if people love/hate the game :p A moment of your time would go a long way!
Thanks again, and continue having fun with the demo!!
(Also Next Fest is starting this Monday June 15th!! Not really sure what to expect, but I'm super excited nonetheless)

DEMO Patch Notes v0.1.9 [CONTROLLER SUPPORT ADDED!]

Hello! As Next Fest June approaches on the 15th, I'll be pushing out one final update for the demo for now! More hotfixes and patches will come soon over the course of Next Fest, but this one will most likely be the largest because....
Controller + Steamdeck Support has been added!!
You should now be able to plug in any sort of controller and play the demo seamlessly! I've also added controller and keyboard/mouse input info to settings, so if you ever have any trouble navigating the game, please check those out in game!
I've tried to make the controller experience as seamless as possible, but some things may be a little finicky, as the game does primarily rely on a "mouse" cursor to explore the world, but I think what I've setup in controller feels pretty good! If you have any suggestions or feedback on how to improve controller support, please let me know in the Bug Report Form here!
As for Steam Deck support, please make sure to use the Gamepad with Mouse Trackpad controller template in controller settings for the intended controller experience!
New Features:
Frog Happiness/Friendship Exp has been reworked! The progress bar on the right in the frog menu now shows exp needed for the next level, instead of happiness.
It is now much easier to level up frogs, and more visual feedback has been added
Can now use WASD in Camera to move around, instead of only being limited to mouse pan
QoL Improvements:
When opening camera in area that isn't the forest clearing, camera mode now defaults to Landscape
All areas object counts have been slightly optimized to improve game performance
Updated clarity of some tutorials
Can no longer interact with farm tiles in camera mode
Bug Fixes:
Fixed bug where frog menu would pop up twice after doing the hydrate interaction at lower fps
Fixed bug where reloading into a save would continuously add more and more mail to the mailbox
Many more bug fixes
If you've been enjoying the demo so far, please consider leaving a review on the demo store page! It really really helps improve visibility in Steam's algorithm and lets them know if people love/hate the game :p A moment of your time would go a long way!
Thanks again, and continue having fun with the demo!!

DEMO Hotfix v0.1.6

Hi again, another daily hotfix for v0.1.6! I'll try my best to push out bug fixes every single day to stabilize the demo for when Next Fest rolls around, so thanks for bearing with me with my first time navigating and figuring all this out :)
Fixed bugs in fishing UI where spam clicking bait would decrease your inventory amount by more than 1
Fixed multiple inventory hover visual issues and disappearing items in kitchen cooking minigame
Fixed major issue where demo installations were downloading both Windows and Linux/SteamOS builds, causing the overall file size to be 2GB instead of 1GB. This should be fixed now! You can confirm this by heading to "Properties -> Installed Files -> Verify demo's files are installed correctly" and check if your installation size has been reduced to ~1GB!
Though this should not affect anyone's builds, this was a massive overlook on my part so I apologize for this mixup.
Also, if you've been enjoying the demo so far, consider leaving a review on the demo store page! It really helps improve visibility in Steam's algorithm and lets them know if people love/hate the game :p A moment of your time would go a long way!

Hope you guys have been enjoying the demo so far!! The support has been overwhelming and I'm super grateful for everyone who has tried it out so far!
Anyways, I'm rolling out a quick update (v0.1.5) to fix a few pressing bugs that some players may have encountered:
Fixed softlock in Kitchen during Chef Apprentice Quest after you cooked a dish for the second time
Fixed bug in fishing UI where fishing rod would persist on screen if pressing ESC to exit the menu
Fixed bug on farm during Chef Apprentice Quest where watering the same planted tile would increase quest objective counter
Fixed bug where it would randomly turn nighttime after unlocking Humble Beginnings quest with TamTemTom
App is now properly displayed as "Frog Island Demo" on devices instead of "Godot Engine"

HUGE NEWS!!!
I'll be releasing the official Demo for Frog Island on June 1st!!
In just a few days, you'll finally be able to explore the island, care for your frogs, and play the beginning of the game.

I've been working really hard to get this Demo ready for you guys, and I'm super excited for you to finally try it out ːsteamhappyː
Here's a link to the Demo's Steam Page if you wanna check it out!

Cool things to expect in the Demo:
The demo will feature 30-60+ minutes of gameplay, and lets you try out the beginning of the game's story, and endless gameplay through taking care of frogs :)
Lots of frogs
Lots of bugs (not game bugs like bug bugs)
A few cool music tracks made by me
Lots of deco and toys to decorate your island!
Silly hats and accessories to decorate your frogs?!
Of course, the Demo is not the final version of the game, so everything you see is subject to change. You may also encounter some bugs here and there (not bug bugs like game bugs), so I'll be setting up forums in the Discord Server for bug reports and suggestions, so if you'd like to help make Frog Island an even better experience for everyone, feel free to hop in (heh) and share your thoughts.
If you haven't already, wishlisting the game helps me out tremendously!! Every wishlist helps this lil game stay visible and reach more players who might love it :p You can wishlist the game here!
Thank you all so much for the support, and see you on June 1st! <3
