12/23/2023 0 Comments The amazing frog trailer![]() While we are still planing on building a kickass trailer and bunch of movies for Amazing Frog we realised that we needed flybys as well. Now it shares some of the future problems we are tackling, like shooting from a car, how to keep weapons and ammo?īy the time we had the camera performing more satisfactory, our plans had changed a bit. Initially the movie camera shared many of the problems that we were having with the weapons. we couldn’t transport the camera far from the Swindon Town Planning office, it was not great to aim with or hold, so we had to fix the underlying problems of the “frog system” this enabled some of the newer processes such sniper scope, holstering, telescope. The movie camera was made as an early tool in the Amazing Frog? that we knew we would need later in the process. Now I get that most games these days give you the ability to take pictures and capture footage from the games you are playing, but sudden realisation at this point was that giving the frog a movie camera to frame and compose shots was actually fundamental to our future process. We needed better camera work and I was on the point of building something when Hal suggested we get the frogs to film it. ![]() I mean we haven’t really updated the store page in a year, which I am sure is not very wise. It was simple, I was tired from editing footage to make trailers and screen shots. I would say these moments are frequent and generally result in me having a minor panic attack at the sudden realisation that he will make a model and I will not be able to resist the temptation to plug it into the system and build some new classes for it. The Movie Camera was one of those great idea moments that Hal has so effortlessly. And ultimately we want to make cut scenes, but what we didn’t want to do is spend a whole lot of time rendering and composing and that would slow development. ![]() We needed more “arty” or composed screenshots and we needed better footage from the game. This is why we made the “movie camera” and how it solves a problem for us. Some of the ways we go about solving problems amuse me, so I thought I would highlight one of these “solutions”. So when we can, we try and solve all and any problems with ongoing “game development”. The trouble is that when so wrapped up in development as we are, any other activities fall in the “not a priority” category. This is a problem, as fully self published indie game developers, we know how important all the other activities that surround development are. As a four-player co-operative experience, which it is (but I didn’t get to play), it already looks good enough for a ridiculous level of fun.Working on a game with the scope and ambition of Amazing Frog? as just two people has an endless list of problems.Often the tasks we set ourselves can become so vast, that we spend little time doing anything for Amazing Frog? other than game development. While I was standing watching - and later playing - the game, I got to see people chased down by sharks, vehicles flung into the air and people making hilariously clumsy jumps from rooftop to rooftop. The Amazing Frog? succeeds in being a fun-to-explore sandbox experience. It is also jammed full of jump pads and other interactive objects which can send you (and your vehicles) flying off in all directions. ![]() It results in a game that is perfectly built for the idiotic stacking of cars, the starting of little adventures… and the ruining of little adventures, which populates a lot of people’s experiences of the game. I’m not normally one to dabble with physics-sandbox games, nor the ‘simulator’ parody games, but Fayju’s The Amazing Frog? drew me, as it did many others, to its booth with its silly main character transposed onto a grey-cement, UK skyline.īuilt as a childlike reimagining of Rockstar’s GTA series, The Amazing Frog? celebrates the manic, accidental fun moments that happen in the multiplayer of the regularly record-selling series. Hidden among the Leftfield Collection at this year’s EGX was a funny little game about Swindon, UK, and its resident superhero: The Amazing Frog?
