Devlog #1: Meet The Developer

Froggy Hates Snow started with two ideas I’ve always loved in games: interactive snow and digging for hidden resources. I wanted snow to be more than a backdrop — something physical, reactive, and central to how the game plays. Digging through snow, uncovering what’s hidden beneath it, and surviving in a hostile environment became the core of the experience.

From there, the contrast came naturally. A huge, dangerous, frozen world… and a small frog in a cosy sweater, trying to survive it.

Meet Froggy. He hates snow.

I love frogs — they’re funny, expressive, and just a little absurd. And frogs don’t belong in winter, which makes Froggy’s situation feel even more dangerous (and a bit ridiculous). That contrast is important to the game: warm vs cold, safety vs danger, comfort vs survival.

There’s always a safe space — a warm bubble where Froggy can rest — but to survive, you have to leave it. That idea comes from my own experience too. I live in Eastern Europe, and while snow can be beautiful, I truly hate the cold, the grey days, and everything winter brings. Froggy struggling against that environment is, in many ways, a reflection of that.

This is my first PC and console game, and I’m actively developing it right now. Over the coming months, I’ll be sharing regular updates here — from gameplay improvements to behind-the-scenes looks at how the game is evolving.

If you haven’t tried it yet, there’s a playable demo available now, and it’s the best way to experience Froggy’s movement, the snow mechanics, and the overall challenge. (If you have already tried it, please don't forget to wishlist the game)

Thanks for checking out Froggy Hates Snow. More soon — and happy holidays.
