Puddle Pals

Puddle Pals is still very much part of our plans. Right now, we’re focused on getting Forge & Fleet ready for its upcoming beta release, with lots of final polish underway. Once the beta is out, we’ll be able to return more attention to Puddle Pals . Thanks for following along and supporting us! 💚

Mojo now has a protective little frog eyelid 👀🐸 A tiny detail, but it makes him feel way more believable and frog-like underwater. #gamedev #indiedev #puddlepals #unity #indiegame

A huge thank you to everyone who came along to Beer & Pixels last night and stopped by to play Puddle Pals! It was so lovely getting to show the game, meet people in person, and hear your thoughts while you played. We really appreciate everyone who took the time to check it out and chat with us.

Deformable surfaces are now in Puddle Pals 🐸 The lily pads and mushrooms now bend and react when you jump or walk on them. #gamedev #indiedev #puddlepals #unity #indiegame

I’ve officially touched grass… by updating it in Puddle Pals 🌿🐸 It now has more variety, reacts to weather, bends as Mojo moves through it, and can even be flattened and cut down. #gamedev #indiedev #puddlepals #unity #indiegame

You can mow the lawn in Puddle Pals now 🐸 This may be one of the most important features I’ve added to the game. #gamedev #indiedev #puddlepals #unity #indiegame

Mojo has gained two very important new emotions 🐸👍👎 New emojis just dropped in the Puddle Pals Discord: 👍 Thumbs Up 👎 Thumbs Down Huge shout-out to @chris_gardula_art for bringing these to life once again 💚 Available now in the Puddle Pals Discord. #PuddlePals #IndieGameDev #frog #Discord #IndieGame

Stacking is back in Puddle Pals 🐸 Now players can land on each other’s heads, build little frog towers, and create all kinds of very normal multiplayer behaviour. #gamedev #indiedev #puddlepals #unity #indiegame

Puddle Pals multiplayer is finally coming together 🐸 The frogs are feeling really good together now, which means I can finally start showing more of the co-op chaos the game is built around. #gamedev #indiedev #puddlepals #unity #indiegame

Cannonball is now in Puddle Pals 🐸 Mojo can slam into the ground, bounce back up, and grow bigger every time you land it. #gamedev #indiedev #puddlepals #unity #indiegame

Mojo’s grappling tongue is getting a little wild in Puddle Pals 🐸 You can swing, pull objects, wrap around obstacles, and keep your momentum when you let go. #gamedev #indiedev #puddlepals #unity #indiegame

Mojo’s eyes got a little polish update in Puddle Pals 👀🐸 They now have a bit of subtle jiggle so they feel less stiff and match the rest of his movement better. #gamedev #indiedev #puddlepals #unity #indiegame

Mojo got even squishier in Puddle Pals 🐸 I added squash and stretch so he now stretches in the air and squishes when he lands. #gamedev #indiedev #puddlepals #unity #indiegame

Mojo’s animations got a big update in Puddle Pals 🐸 He now has unique animations for running, swimming, surface swimming, and jumping, which makes him feel way more polished and expressive. #gamedev #indiedev #puddlepals #unity #indiegame

Happy Easter from Mojo and all of us at Frog Spawn Studio! 🐸💚🐣 We hope you have a lovely day filled with chocolate, good food, and cozy little moments. Mojo is spending Easter the best way he knows how… being adorable.

We updated the water in Puddle Pals 💧🐸 Reworked colour, added foam, underwater bubbles, and more reactive movement to make it feel softer, more playful, and more alive. #gamedev #indiedev #puddlepals #unity #indiegame

Mojo got a little glow-up in Puddle Pals 🐸 New green outline, subtle gradient, and a softer, more stylized look that helps him stand out a lot more. #gamedev #indiedev #puddlepals #unity #indiegame

We heard you... Mojo’s old jiggles were a little too squishy 🐸 So Jiggle Update Part 2 is here: cleaner jiggles, no face distortion, and no more weird swim jiggles. #gamedev #indiedev #puddlepals #unity #indiegame

Added Cake Scaling to Mojo 🐸 Every time he jumps, he gets a little more round, chunky, and cake. Very important frog technology. #gamedev #indiedev #puddlepals

What people think game dev looks like: stress and suffering. What I’m actually doing: singing and making a frog game 🐸💚 #gamedev #indiedev #puddlepals

Puddle Pals is now on Steam and ready to wishlist! 🐸💚 store.steampowered.com/app/2198850/... A cozy multiplayer frog adventure set in a big backyard, built around exploration, movement, mischief, and playful chaos with friends. #puddlepals #indiegame #gamedev #cozygame

Added eye tracking to Mojo 👀🐸 Now when he looks at things in the world, his little eyes actually follow them. Small feature, but a big boost to personality. Honestly, I think it turned out super cute. #gamedev #indiedev #puddlepals

Hey Pals 🐸💚 I just reimplemented jiggle physics in Unity for Puddle Pals. It was more challenging than I expected because Unreal has built-in animation support for this kind of secondary motion, while in Unity I had to script. #gameev #indiedev #unity #jigglephysics #puddlepals

Hey Pals 🐸💚 We’ve been building games for over a year, and like many indie teams right now, things have been getting tough... Buy Me a Coffee: buymeacoffee.com/simonescoug Please only donate if you can genuinely afford to. Following, sharing, and wishlisting already helps a ton 💚

We made a big change for Puddle Pals... moving the entire game from Unreal to Unity. Compile times in Unreal were slowing down iteration, sometimes taking 20+ minutes after small code changes. #PuddlePals #gamedev #indiedev #unity #unrealengine #froggame
