- Parkitect remains Parkitect - 2 April 2026
While we’ve decided not to move forward with our amphibian rebranding and will be keeping the name Parkitect, we’ve realized the community’s enthusiasm for frogs was much higher than initially anticipated. So, thanks to so many of you being toadally on board with the idea, we’ve decided to keep the option to frog away if you still want to. Frog Mode is now available in the game settings and will also work in multiplayer. Happy April to all of you! ;)
- Parkitect is taking a leap - 1 April 2026
📣 Announcement!With our rapidly growing and completely normal fondness for frogs (purely coincidental to developing Croakwood), we’ve been closely observing the community’s… enthusiasm for frogs.After careful analysis and several brand meetings, we’ve made an important decision: We are officially rebranding Parkitect to “Frogitect”!We believe this bold leap better reflects our long-term vision, our values, and our newfound commitment to frogs.We hope you enjoy this new direction. Ribbit. 💚

- Happy Anniversary - 7 years of Parkitect - 29 November 2025
Today marks a very special day for us - it’s been seven years since Parkitect was released! So much has happened since we first started developing the game. Join us on a trip down memory lane as we celebrate by looking back at how Parkitect came to be and how it evolved along the way. April 2014 - First prototypeParkitect first started back in March of 2014. I (Sebastian) had always been interested in game development and always had some sort of game-development-related hobby project going just for the fun of it, usually trying to learn something new with each project I picked up. I also read the TIGSource forums a lot, a forum that was quite active at the time with a lot of devlog posts from many indie developers that have since gone on to make great games like Celeste and Minecraft.
