Take a trip back to the 20’s with Toad Tavern!! Come into the speakeasy and learn to perfect your craft as a bartender. Some frogs may share more than a drink with you, you can wishlist the game today on steam!

An open set of red curtains with little circus froggy heads, mini sparklers, a microphone and drums frame the reveal of a Game Developer: Toad Tavern! The top of the curtain frame had a beige ribbon that says “Frog Con 2025” and the bottom framing ribbons say “Game Dev”, “Toad Tavern”, and G4 (artist alley table number). In the revealed middle space, there is an ambient scene of frogs relaxing in a glowing hot spring. In the back there is a frog relaxing on a little bench waving.

We have some wonderful froggy games this year! Our first guest we want to highlight is @stratobox.bsky.social, the developers for the 3D platformer Kero Quest 64! Help Kero stop the prince of Bunnabaria from spreading evil across the kingdom by wishlisting the game on Steam!

An open set of red curtains with little circus froggy heads, mini sparklers, a microphone and drums frame the reveal of a Game Developer: Stratobox! The top of the curtain frame had a beige ribbon that says “Frog Con 2025” and the bottom framing ribbons say “Game Dev”, “Stratobox”, and G1 (artist alley table number). In the revealed middle space, a frame of a nostalgic 90s-inspired 3d platformer with a blue frog swinging around the map with its tongue. ‘Kero Quest 64’ is a big bold title at the top.

A shot of the Game ‘Kero quest’ is displayed in a bold game title with a blue frog sitting on a ledge and smiling at the viewer. Behind him is a forest in a reddish hue, presumably an expansive environment to explore.

Now this was a fun one: got to work again with @catsonmars.bsky.social, milkyPRISM, and Command Creative on a little series for Duolingo, with @parkersimmons.bsky.social and Titmouse Canada at the helm. A+++, would wabing again

Parker Simmons @parkersimmons.bsky.social · 5d

Got to direct this with an amazing team at Titmouse Canada. Everyone gave their all to create a sincere pastiche of the anime they grew up with. Even the composers couldn't resist a little End of Eva reference in the teaser music here:

COMING SOON: Duolingo’s first anime series!
