- DEMO Patch Notes v0.2.2 - 20 June 2026
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 dis…
- 15,000 WISHLISTS THANK YOU!!! - 19 June 2026
This week, Frog Island hit 15,000 wishlists!!!When I first started this project 3 years ago, I never could have imagined achieving something like this. Making this game as a solo dev has been a wild journey, and seeing this kind of support makes it all worth it. Thank you so much for being the most supportive community I could ask for 💚 💚 If you haven't checked it out yet, the Frog Island demo is live right now for Steam Next Fest! I'd love for you to try it out and let me know your thoughts! Next goal: 20k? :p
- NEXT FEST Patch v0.2.1 - 17 June 2026
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 :pJust 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 failedAdded a guiding arrow during cooking to guide players on where to drop ingredients into the potRemoved 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 sicknessImproved feedback in merchant shop: Buy buttons will now be shaded and disabled if you do not have enough coins/gems to purchase an itemOcean wave shaders have been…
- DEMO Patch Notes v0.2.0 - 14 June 2026
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 :pPlayers 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 nameAdded "delete/remove" controller button icon in certain menus when selling items, adding fish to aquariums, or recyclingZooming in/out on controller has been improved…
- DEMO Patch Notes v0.1.9 [CONTROLLER SUPPORT ADDED!] - 13 June 2026
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 f…

- DEMO Hotfix v0.1.6 - 3 June 2026
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 1Fixed multiple inventory hover visual issues and disappearing items in kitchen cooking minigameFixed 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…
