Froguelike

Froguelike entered Steam Early Access on January 3, 2024 and has been receiving regular updates ever since. The developers — Johanna and Rémi — have maintained a consistent update cadence throughout: weekly at launch, shifting to bi-weekly in September 2024, then moving to monthly updates as of June 2025 to allow time for larger development work. Three named major content updates have shipped during Early Access: Toad's storyline (April 17, 2024), Kermit's storyline (January 22, 2025), and Frog's storyline (July 10, 2025). Each adds a new playable character with their own narrative arc, quests, and achievements — establishing a pattern of roughly one new character storyline every 6–9 months. In their June 11, 2025 update post, the developers explicitly stated they are moving to monthly updates specifically to work on a significant "graphics update" that will make it possible to add new environments to the game — a substantial feature that has not yet shipped as of the most recent news post (July 10, 2025). The July 10, 2025 major update arrived right on schedule, consistent with the developer's stated monthly cadence. The last developer communication was July 10, 2025. Given the stated monthly update cadence, the next update would have been expected around August 2025. As of today (October 1, 2026), over 14 months have passed since that last post — well beyond even a generous monthly cadence. However, the developers had previously announced a similar shift to bi-weekly updates in September 2024 (after weekly updates) and then again to monthly in June 2025, each time citing a desire to focus on larger work. The ongoing graphics overhaul was explicitly cited as the reason for the cadence change, and no completion or closure statement has been made. The silence is notable, but the developers have a pattern of extending gaps between posts while working on larger features, and the game remains available for purchase in Early Access with no abandonment signal. The pattern does not yet clearly cross into development_uncertain territory given the explicitly stated reason for slower updates and the active work on a known large feature — though a further recheck would be warranted if no update appears in the coming months.
