HOWDY folks,
I'm so excited to announce that we've been working hard on Frog Detective 3: Corruption at Cowboy County and we plan to launch this year!! This game is going to be a really special one. You can wishlist the game right here!

After such a difficult year it was hard to find the energy for the third instalment. Things have been steadily getting better here in Melbourne Australia since the beginning of the year, and we've been able to get so much done. I'm pumped to share it with you. Thank you so much for your patience and understanding while we've been working on the project, it's been really motivating to see your enthusiasm over the past year and a half.
I hope you're looking forward to it as much as I am!!

We have a Discord! It's a fun small community that I would love to grow.
You can also follow the detective on twitter. Apologies in advance for the tweets.
And if you need a little detective friend in your life, we have plushies and more on Fangamer.
Our website has been updated and you can peep our pretty faces or read the frog blog.
Much love, Grace and Tom
But Grace wrote it so whenever it says "I" or "me" or "my", you should picture me in your head, not Tom. But I'm sure he feels the same way as me. In fact, I will ask him now.
He said "i am excited".
