Good Afternoon!

So today isn't really about showing off the games development and more thinking about the future of the game.

So as you are probably aware Version 3 dropped yesterday adding 10 new levels and a bunch of new content, it also teases at the end the final part for Bubble Frog, Green Zone. This will be (hopefully) a 15 level update to round the game up to a nice solid 50 level.

There may be 1 new mechanic added in this zone but I've gotta figure it out (and make sure it's fun) first.

Once that's all done though, then what? Is that it for Bubble Frog?

NOPE!

The current plan is to bring Bubble Frog to Steam. I don't wanna just stick the game 1 to 1 on Steam though, me and a friend are currently looking into how we could wrap the game in a nice digital package, kind of like you see in the Mega Man Collections. A nice border art for the game, an animated intro, a gallery and so on.

That won't be cheap though, as I'd be paying someone to code the front end, and paying an animator to do the intro. So for that I'm eyeing up Kickstarter. It'll be a low goal as even if I can't fund those two things I can still wrap the game in an exe and release it as a fun cheap game on Steam :)

That's all still in the planning phases though! Gotta complete the game first so backers have NO risks as the game will come out no matter what :)

BUT THEN WHAT?

I'm not actually sure! I love Bubble Frog and the world hinted at with its NPCs. I've jokingly talked about making Bubble Frog 64 inspired by Banjo Kazooie but I don't know if that's on the cards any time soon with my limited skills. What is a possibility though is some kind of Bubble Frog based adventure using another engine OR Bubble Frog 2 which would probably use a more advanced engine to allow for more mechanics as well as high resolution graphics (they'd still be pixel art though!).

So yeah, it's all kind of up in the air, but I feel the Bubble Frog IP has a lot of untapped potential I wanna explore, and I hope you'll be along for the ride with me! :)

SOME THANKS!

I wanna give a HUGE thankyou to Robpoke who's done TWO streams of Bubble Frog and even helped to find some bugs in the game! He's looking to do more indie game streams in the future so my fellow devs, he's one to say hi too! You can find him on Threads too!

Ok I've gotta get to planning out Green Zone so I'm gonna wrap this up now. See you next time!
