Publisher Megabit and indie developer Aska Studios have announced they have joined forces on Gang of Frogs, teaming up to bring the action co-op shooter to players and inviting the community to help shape its development.
Gang of Frogs drops you into the boots of a fearless frog outlaw with an attitude and nothing to lose. Solo or with up to three friends, you’ll fight through hordes of monsters and bugs, explore strange civilisations and pull off high-stakes raids against the galaxy’s ruling elite in hand-crafted worlds teeming with danger and surprises.
Mixing quick, fluid combat with deep progression, you’ll gear up your crew with powerful loot, unlock skill upgrades, and level-up your gear by building your hand of cards infused with old military tech to strike back at the empire that has been keeping frogs down for generations.
Ahead of its Early Access launch next year, Megabit and Aska Studios are inviting players to help shape Gang of Frogs through regular playtests, jumping into new builds, trying out new features and sharing feedback directly with the team.
The first community playtest goes live on October 1-4, giving players an early shot at the chaos and a direct say in where the game goes next.
“We wanted to find a publisher who understood the way we want to develop, Gang of Frogs,” said Ólafur Hrafn Steinarsson, CEO, Aska Studios, in a press release. “Getting the game in front of players early and often is really important to us. The feedback we get from players is not only very useful, but it brings us and our community closer together. We’re excited to build that into the way we work with Megabit.”
“We’re thrilled to be working with Aska on Gang of Frogs,” said Jonathan Hales, CEO, Megabit, in the same press release. “It’s a thrill-a-minute shooter packed full of character and we’re excited to be able to open its doors to the community straight away. We can’t wait to see what they think”.
The October 1-4 playtest is just the start. Megabit and Aska Studios will be running regular playtests throughout development, with weekly developer updates giving the community a behind-the-scenes look at the game. Players can also jump into an already thriving Discord community, where players can talk directly with the development team.
